Went to the boutique to try this one on again for size. Last time I had it on my wrist we were all a little over served. Wanted to be sure I still liked it. I do.

All the pictures posted. My wife has pretty much confiscated mine with the red strap, luckily I ordered a strap that fits us both. Have a great weekend Justin…Jim
