Caveat: I'm a fan of G 2 Gigandet watches, have been 3 (see reviews by me.). That's why I ordered this, as 4 th G2. This clock is just as good as the other G2 as dimensions and work etc everything is the same. The black and gold but then I am not convinced. Perhaps it is tuned that I do not really like gold on men's watches. If this color combination, however like: should strike, because there are really good watches at a great price.
