Because I already have a Lucien Piccard watch and know how reliable they are, I had to buy this watch for my birthday present. I am so happy with the watch; it is exactly what I wanted and it is exactly how it appears on screen. It is heavy, beautifully made, classic and classy. The numbers are so easy to see while you are driving due to the size and the contrast of the white face and the darker numerals. I love the "12", "4" and "8" - it is unusual and interesting. I have a small wrist and, therefore, had to take it to the jeweler to size it down. I like my watch to move a little and not be tight on my wrist, so I had 5 links taken out and it is perfect. As another reviewer wrote, the jeweler I went to was also impressed with the watch as well as the packaging of the watch and couldn't believe the price. As other reviewers have indicated, this watch makes for a beautiful present; after you open the box within the box, you see the watch sitting perfectly in the middle - it even has the correct time when you open the box! The band is chunky, the steel is shiny and bright and the way it sits on the wrist is wonderful. It looks great with jeans, work attire and anything in between. What a wonderful birthday present. Thank you Overstock for your help in ordering it so that it was here when I needed it; it arrived exactly as promised and in perfect condition.
