I wished to purchase an "allergic"  friend a good quality wrist watch that would not "break" the bank and yet not appear inexpensive.  As a collector I have watches that retail for $9,000....generally w/ automatic engines. The packaging looks great,  the crystal is sapphire (not blank fusion), the engine is quartz (but Swiss), the case is surgical stainless steel and the bezel and band is all ceramic!!I Ceramic is non-porous and extremely hypo-allergenic. If the person is allergic to case back (unlikely but possible) u can coat back w/ clear nail polish!!The watch is elegant but well-made....w/ 3yr warranty it makes this watch a great buy. I have paid upwards and over $400 for a watch of this caliber!!!If it came w/ more eloquent instructions I would give six stars.
