I purchased this watch as gift for my son. It was exactly what I was looking for as far as size and looks in a dress watch. It has the smaller face, 18k yellow gold case, sweep second hand, date window, numeral face, and thin and smooth enough to wear under a dress shirt with a suit. I noticed before giving the gift that the watch kept exceptional correct time. My son has verified this. The watch has an open back which lets one view the automatic movement of the watch. This movement is the only real complaint(?) that I have of the watch. While it's an automatic movement which winds the watch with hand movement... if my son takes the watch off at 6pm on Friday and doesn't put it on again until 6am on Monday...the watch has stopped. So he has had to purchase a winder at some $40 to keep the watch wound when not worn for an extended time. The only advantage being you don't have to take the watch into an authorized repair facility to replace a battery in order to keep the warranty in...Read more

I was looking for a nice all around watch, for dress and casual. I bought this strictly on reviews and photos. The photos do no justice as the gold really stands out. I bought an automatic winder, and this watch has been to the minute for approx 60 days now. I highly recommend it if you want a classy all around watch. It fits right in for casual and formal dress. When you see in in person, you will be surprised. I was. I could not find anything nearly as nice in this price range. I bought it from amazon and their description is very accurate. I promise you will not be dissappointed.

If you like the beautiful watch in the picture, do NOT order it from Amazon!
I did, and it is a totally different watch. The watch I received had the same model number on the box and watchband label, but it is not the watch in the illustration. Customer support agreed that it was wrong.
I know, they will pay for the return, but there are still two problems. First, I didn't receive what I was expecting, so now I have to go hunting for another source -- time wasted at Amazon. And, second, I now have to pack it up and take it to a UPS shipper. I don't recall that they said that they would pay for my time and gas for their mistake.
Amazon is starting to slip. . .

They have changed the picture. If the picture you see now is what you are looking for, go for it! :)
