First of all, you should be aware that the watch is darker than it appears in the image. The shade of metal is much closer to black, than the dirty silver it appears. Also, the engravings - which seem faint in the image - are actually suprisingly vivid and well done. The inside cover does contain 'Don't forget, 3.Oct.10', just like Ed's. The watch has a good weight to it, it feels very solid. An excllent item. If you're a FMA fan who can only pick one thing to buy - THIS is it. So far, I have yet to be assulted by crazed Ishbalan vigilantes.
