Green Goddess Monaco Watch is Fantastic!

I just love this watch---everything about it BUT I have such a darn skinny wrist that I have to wear it on the second "tightest" hole which means you can see the "tail" of the strap on the side of my wrist---and the clasp is all the way over to the edge of my inner wrist, too, but I am used to that. They should have done the strap in two sizes---a Small/Average and an Average/Large, as when they made it large enough for a Large wrist, they made it too big for a Small wrist.

I think I may take it with me to NYC later this Spring and I know of an excellent shoemaker on about 54th Street between 5th and 6t Ave as I recall. I bet he could cut down the strap for me---take off 3/4 of an inch would do it. That part of my strap is very dark, almost black, so if he had to use black stitching on the new pointed edge it would not even be noticeable. I did notice that one of the hosts was wearing the watch--and I saw the "tail" sticking up on her wrist...so I had a feeling this was going to be the case with me, as well.

I do love it though and I am keeping it. Have it on today with one of my GG rings and it looks great.

Sheesh,

So glad to hear you love it and that it is worth taking it to be sized. Wear in good health.

What do you think of the brown?

So glad to hear that you love your watches. I am waiting for the black one and cannot wait to see it. After the initial negative reviews, I was somewhat apprehensive and now I can relax. Whew Smile
