This watchband I ordered in order to know whether there are other metal -Uhrenarmbäner in exchange for a silicone band, like what I once sold a specialty shop where after a short time the black silver has been gradually increasing. A complaint was dismissed by saying what I would have expected, there is no black metal which are all painted. But not this bracelet, I wear it every really well every day and it remains black even better after so long not even signs of wear and does not even cost one-third from the shop. Note: it is not painted but anodized. The roundness of my S & W Clock Adjusts outstanding. Also, the closure has been kept secure.
