This watch just arrived last night and it is gorgeous. It manages to be both chic, classic, sexy and elegant all at the same time. The mother of pearl face is an inky black with beautiful and quite subtle mother of pearl depth and colors such as pink, blue and lavender, which I managed to capture in one of the above pix. It is far more lovely than pictures could share. The color of the band is not a standard black; it is a shiny gunmetal style black ceramic…not grey, and it is a perfect match for the rich, rose gold accents in bevel and band. It was described as “new” and I believe the watch was new, but I would have been disappointed if I were presenting this as a gift, because the box was damaged and the Bulova warranty information card inside the watch case was badly bent. Clearly, the box has been around the block. But I was keeping the watch and most importantly, the watch itself had no scratches, came with protective peelable plastic protections, and the crown/stem protector was in place. I went to the website as instructed to set up the watch, and it began working immediately. I have a very small and delicate wrist. I absolutely do not find the size or the weight of this gorgeous timepiece to be too heavy; I have much larger and heavier watches. This will be a superb addition to my wardrobe as it easily transitions from day to night. My only regret is not buying it in white as well, as it has gone up $35 in the last week. The watch did not come with extra links, but unless you are blessed with Reubenesque arms/wrists, there is plenty of room in this watch for you without adding links. It has approximately one full inch of extra space for me. I plan to remove at least one link so as to keep it at a bracelet-fit and not tight. Highly recommend this beauty! A must-have.
