pink watchI looked at a couple pink watches for breast cancer awareness, and none of them seemed to be very attractive.

This Nautica pink watch box set stands apart. Nautica will donate $65,000 from the proceeds to a breast cancer awareness charity.

With the box set, you get two colors of smooth leather bands, white and pink.

You also get two choices for bezels (the ring that goes around the watch), stainless steel for more casual occasions, or a glamorous jewel-embedded option for more formal occasions.
