The watch is beautiful. The crystal is bright and clear and the Roman numerals are bold and easy to read. The black hands (hour, minute and second) contrast with the silver/white face. The stainless steel band is shiny and the gold plating is attractive. The materials used give the watch substance, and it is heavy.

Although this watch is beautiful and appears to be of high quality, it is very LARGE for a women's watch. The interior circumference is a bit more than 8". The case is 1-1/2" across, and the stem adds another 3/8". I would have to remove four links from the band to make it fit properly. The Citizens watch I have been wearing easily fits inside this one, with room to spare.

Because I do like the look and feel of the watch, I plan to wear it for a while "as is." The band is large, but not so large that it will slide over my hand and off my wrist. After wearing it for a while I will decide whether to keep wearing it in its oversized state, have links removed to make the band fit snugly, or just quit using it. It would be a shame not to use it, because it is a nice watch. It is just way too big.
