Just saw the price went up since I ordered last week. Even at the higher price, I would recommend this watch -- it's just what I wanted appearance wise. I thought the face might be small and so hard to read, but it's fine and I really like the rectangular shape. The band is very nice although the clasp was stiff (it's easing some with use). I had to have five links removed which added $20 to the cost but that's because I went to a neighborhood jeweler --I probably could have gotten it done cheaper. Anyway, if you want a dressyish but not over much so watch this is well worth looking at. Let's hope it lasts for a couple of years at any rate.
