I bought the clock here 2 months ago. Visually I like it, even the movement is appealing. I wear this clock for "everyday use". For some time now, however, the golden ring to dark black. Either there is just the carrier layer from or it happens another operation. I have never exposed to the clock any chemicals, but it turns. Should anyone be interested in more accurate to simply write ... The clock comes with real-time Certificate of Ingraham .. Werd me where Report times if there is a fault or make their usual quality. Visually appealing clock, even the leather strap is made fine, but as mentioned - therefore the discoloration .. 3 stars
