Akribos XXIV Women's Luxury Watch with Genuine Swarovski Crystals & Mother-of-Pearl Dial - Stainless Steel Bracelet Dress Watch for Women - Perfect for Formal Events, Weddings & Special Occasions - AK953

I wasn't sure whether to buy this as I have only worn much smaller watches but I'm glad I did.Also with only one review I thought it could have been someone who'd been given a freebie and I stay well clear of those reviews.I worried about the weight(I think it said 12 oz but that didn't make sense...turns out they were including the box). I was concerned it may look cheap and tacky but it doesn't at all. It's comfortable to wear and although it weighs 3.6oz with 5 links removed, it doesn't feel at all heavy and I actually forget I'm wearing it. My wrist measurement is 6". I have to say that initially I was breaking nails trying to remove it from my wrist but eventually figured it out. By applying pressure with thumb to the stamped link then raising the link next to it with index finger...easy when you know how. My poor nails, but they'll soon grow. Anyway, I'm really pleased with my purchase and I love the way it looks, could have saved myself all that worry. The little pins that hold the links together need a tiny screwdriver to remove them ..I'm told you can get one free at an opticians, wish I'd have known that at the time, could have saved me some money.This watch is absolutely beautiful. The price can't be beat. I searched for this brand and found that the watch cost approximately $495.00 at other sites. I was sceptical thinking if it is to good to be true.... The watch is a true Akribos brand. (The jeweler I took it to to remove links out of the band took a good look at it) The band was long enough for bigger wrists. The links can be removed! The price tag was attached to the watch with the $495 price. Not really sure how this seller can sell this for such a low price, I guess I don't care, I received a fantastic deal!Love the watch..it is beautiful and quality is excellent but is on the large side.Will get band adjusted to my wrist and try wearing it.Not used to such a large face but will try it.So pretty..and water resistant!Gorgeous watch! Wear it everyday. It's big, which is what I wanted, but it still manages to look chic and feminine. Also love the way the clasp blends in with the rest of the band. Very happy with this purchase.I really love this watch. It is unique, and very pretty. I did have to get it sized, because it came halfway up my arm, but it was worth it.It's a beautiful watch and it seems to be working very well. It was easy to have the band appropriately-sized. I am very very happy with my purchaseLove this watch. It has a very large face so wouldn't appeal to everyone but it is very much my style.Bought this watch for my gf when it arrived it was more beautiful than the picture we love it alotI received this watch and I love it so much. All I had to take the watch repair to take out some metals.. it's too big for my wrist. I just love it.It looks elegant ,love it ?Unique, classy.
