I really like this watch.  I have the silver version with brown band and brown face.  The brown face is not as striking as some of the photos make it appear.  It is a conservative watch that strikes a nice balance.  It is a substantial watch with a face that is just a bit too large for my tastes but nowhere near as ridiculous or gaudy as some of the oversized monstrosities seen today.  It keeps good time and is very attractive.  The chocolate brown band is fairly supple yet thick.  I do wish the band was a bit longer as I can only get the pin through the second to the las hole.  To be fair, several of the leather bands on my watches are a little too short in my opinion.  I can't comment on the looks of the gold version being sold here,  I do prefer the silver and brown over the gold and black but only as personal preference.
If you are looking for a classy conservative watch that keeps good time and that no one will ever call "bling" this is a decent choice.  It is simple, comfortable, and of good quality.  I only with the band was half an inch longer.
