I liked this watch when I first saw it when I was in Kiev. It is very thick however and one wonders how it will 'fit' under your sleave. At one point I was really trying to get it here but had extreme difficulty finding it. Later I learned that it is being discontinued and replaced with a new watch to be released in June/July I think. I do not know if the new wtch will be as thick but I suspect it probaboly will. It will also be more expensive howver it does have a better mechanism inside. A picture of it's replacement can be found in the Gallery section of this site I believe. The two things I do not like about the new watch is that apparently they have dropped the 'wave' pattern on the face and it only comes with a black face. I really liked the contrast of the blue with the gold.
