Here's a snippet of what one happy customer had to say...

"I picked this out for my birthday gift this year, and while I was a little apprehensive ordering sight-unseen, I'm thrilled with my gift. The watch arrived in two days in perfect condition. Amazon's 5-year warrenty paperwork was included. While small, the diamonds sparkle beautifully, and really enhance the look of this watch (I saw the plain version in person, and it's just that - plain). I have an average size wrist, and will need to get one or two links removed by a local jeweler.

My husband was going to go to a local jeweler and purchase this as a surprise, however he knew I could find a better price on-line. Sure enough, Amazon came through with the lowest price ( 50% off retail), free two-day shipping, and the A9 discount. Gotta love Amazon!

I highly recommend this watch, as well as it's purchase through Amazon. " ( read more )

Here's a little bit about James Bond and the Omega Seamaster that we found online.

" ...This 2006 edition of the famous James Bond watch made its debut in the movie Casino Royale. Actually, there are two Omega watches in the movie; the limited edition Omega Seamaster Plant Ocean Big Size 2907.50.91 and the limited edition Omega Seamaster Chronometer 2226.80.00. The watch offered here carries on the James Bond style without the limited edition price tag.

This style of the James Bond watch first appeared in the movie 'Golden Eye' (1995) and is still available as the full size gents automatic chronometer model 2531.80.00 and the same in a quartz model 2541.80.00. The new 2006 quartz model 2221.80.00 has several refinements that you should consider over the previous (but still available) model.

Most notably is the appearance of the watch face. The blue wave dial is a deeper shade blue with a more distinctive wave pattern and the Seamaster script is a subtle red. More apparent is the hour markings are now encased in stainless steel mountings instead of painted on as in the previous model. This alone cleans up the watch face and makes it look like it costs thousands more...." ( read more here)

Bulova Women's 96R19 Diamond Chronograph Watch Reviews

Customers rave about this watch. Here are samplings of their comments;

"This is a great watch for the money. I recently saw it in a department store selling for $200 more. Keep in mind that although it is a ladies watch, it is oversized. GREAT deal!! Looks like more than what it even retails for...."

Here's another,

"I got this watch for Mother's Day, with my initials engraved into the back of the dial -- I was so pleased. It's beautiful, the diamonds are just enough, the size is right between too small and too big making it the PERFECT size.

I laughed when I went to a local jewlery store and the woman asked if I had bought it there. She further stated it was on "sale" for $469.00, 30.00 off the original price. I smiled and told her we hadn't even paid $270.00, we saved over 200.00 off their sale price. If you want this watch BUY it, you will not find it any lower the $374.00 a sale price offered by a major department store...."

Time For A New Focus In The World of Ladies Luxury Watches?

2008-02-18T09:08:00.000-08:00

It appears that the focus has turned to ladies watches at the recent Basel watch fair in Switzerland. Cartier, Chopard and Maurice Lacroix all featured elegant and sophisticated timepieces at the fair, according to a recent report.

The watch industry is largely ran by men with only a scant few women working in the top level positions. This has led to the thinking that women only needed a watch to tell time. Quartz movement would do fine, thank you.

Women such as Chopard's co-President Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele and Maurice Lacroix's Chief Executive of North American Operations, Randi Shinske, have started to break the luxury watch industry out of this stereotype.

The industry is now beginning to respond to what the female watch owner really wants in a luxury watch. Not only are women attracted by the beauty of a watch, they also value the intricate detailing and precise movements.

One more factor is contributing to the growth of women's interest in precision luxury watches. Women are becoming increasingly interested in collecting fine watches. Unlike men, women tend to collect watches for different events. They enjoy wearing their different watches for different occasions.

With the economy showing signs of slowing down or even going into recession, makers of luxury good will need to develop new markets in order to continue to grow. The niche market of women luxury watch buyers that are interested in more than just the aesthetic beauty of a watch but also the detailed inner workings is one that should prove worth the time and effort of the world's luxury watchmakers.
