Surprisingly beautiful inexpensive dress watch
This is one of two Lucien Piccard steel-band dress watches that I purchased after graduating from law school to wear in the office and in court. I hesitated with this watch because of the description of the color of the face (lemon chiffon?). The quality of the crystal (sapphire, not chrystal), the band (two-tone stainless steel), the movement (Swiss, not Chinese or cheap quartz), and the price ($99...are you kidding me!) won me over. Then the watch arrived. The face has an extremely subtle yellow face (I'm a guy...I don't have a clue what "lemon chiffon" is) that is textured somewhat like fancy resume paper, decent sized diamond accents at the five-minute marks, simple yet elegant gold hands, and a sturdy-feeling two-tone stainless steel band (can be worn with silver and gold cuff links). The big surprise with this watch is how much bigger the face appears to be relative to its listing (37 mm). For me--a big guy with big hands and wrists--this was a welcome surprise.
