This is a very old very valuable wrist watch. I'm not even gonna say how much it's insured for. Diamonds & black sapphires surround the bezel. 18k solid gold case and platinum band. Stays locked in the vault at the bank unless I have an occasion to really dress up. Which is hardly ever.

Very, very nice, a very classy watch. Kerry, you have some fine jewelry.
Thanks man for taking a peek. Sadly though the watch just ain't me. I do wear it from time to time but only on a special occasion, when dress up is required. I appreciate you taking the time to take a look and for the comment as well.
