Personal Note
I have owned and sold multiple SevenFriday's over the years and I am strangely drawn to them for their unique design and feel on the wrist, especially at their price point. With the growing interest in independents doing insane things at insane prices, these SevenFridays feel even more like a great choice to get something truly unique and quirky without breaking the bank.
