Great Watch and Worth The Price
Color: 6692:Silver strap&blue dial
My husband loves this watch. I looked at a watch (Bulova brand) it was $650 and it looks just like this watch. I bought this one instead and my husband wears it everyday and is happy with it. It was a great birthday present :) I saved money and so I was able to spend extra $$ on some things I wanted too… umm, maybe I shouldn’t of said that :) lol

Where’s the Lumination ?
Color: 6692:Silver strap&blue dial, Color: 6692:Silver strap&blue dial
I received my watch today and noticed there is no lumination in the dark. That was part of the reason why I liked the blue face model with silver band. It’s the mechanical version. Please let me know. Is this a knock off ?
