 I couldn't resist.  Had to have this if for no other reason than the packaging.  This is an S. Coifman Romano with a 44mm case and a Sellita SW200 26-jewel automatic movement.

For those who don't know how these are presented, S. Coifman uses a box which is also a book. Open the book and there are pages introducing the new owner to the company. When the last page is turned, there is the watch! 

No, this is a post Invicta model so it's not an ultra limited edition of between 2 and 12 or fourteen, as they once did.  Before Invicta, they would go out and buy vintage movements and design watches around them. The number of units in the edition depended on how many movements they had of that given type, making each watch extremely rare and a hand made work of art. I don't know if they still do that but, this watch is very high quality and I love it!
