This is a handsome watch. The picture makes the face look fairly silver in color, while it is truly a dark grey, almost black metal. It's a great fitting watch and the strap is pretty solid quality. The only complaint I have (why I didn't rate this 5 stars) is that the 'ticking' of the second hand is VERY loud; I can hear it from different rooms (sounds more like a wall clock). Once you get used to it, it's not a big deal...just something to be aware of.
