Now buying one for my son. 4 years later of regular use, the plating is flawless. Lots of compliments. Proud to wear this. Highly recommended. Original post below . . .I am not a $30K watch guy. Neither are you. We have priorities. One of mine is to let people know what I think about stuff I buy, mostly because I appreciate when others do the same. Unfortunately, I don't get stuff for free. I would like to, but the whole "I reviewed this honestly after getting it for free" doesn't resonate with me. This gem just arrived 8 days ahead of deadline. I like that, but it's not why I rated it 5 stars.The best word to describe this watch is stunning. Also classy, despite my worries that the stones would look cheap. They don't. Nothing about this watch looks cheap, or fake. I compare it to the Raymond Weil I bought in my twenties for $600. That was also 18K gold plated, and this looks better. It also looks better (though less conservative) than the item I mention below, which is also beautiful, but quartz. This is not quartz. The second hand just sweeps around. For initial purchase, I have to say this is the finest "bling" I am willing to pay for. Unlike my son's Invecta (also gold plated and still looking great after a year) this is more suitable for, well, a suit. So, my initial impression is 5-Star A+. I will let you know if it changes.Adjusting the band with this watch requires a tiny punch, not a tiny screwdriver, by the way.I also bought an Alexander Heroic Sophisticate Bracelet Wrist Watch For Men - Silver White Dial Date Analog Swiss Watch - Stainless Steel Plated Yellow Gold Watch - Mens Designer Watch A911B-08/14000141004. Also impressive, but more conservative. That one required a tiny screwdriver. Very nice, but the Binlun is better IMHO.
