I get tired of wearing electronic watches sometimes and just want to go back to basics. I wanted something black that would look gorgeous and this is it!! I had in the past purchased a link removal tool for another watch, so removing links for this watch was super easy. Then I created my own watch face cover and added that to protect the crystal. I get compliments everywhere I wear this watch! Can't wait to get a few more in my collection for days I want to be electronic free.
