I purchased two of these watches as Christmas presents for my brothers. I personally inspected the watches before I shipped them, and they had a stylish appearance and were made of quality materials. When my brothers received them, they told me how much they loved them and that they needed a "dressy watch" for special occasions. The funny thing is, the suggested retail for the watch is close to $500, but I only paid just over $50 each. I realize that many people don't wear watches due to the fact that our cell phones and Blackberries display the time, but a watch can be as essential an accessory for a man as a little black dress is for a woman. Thanks Amazon, for providing an excellent product at an unbelievable price!
