    A LOT nicer than the price suggests.
    Trust me :)

    "At list price" this watch is a steal.

    Don't be surprised if the mfr raises their prices at least 15% on this piece this year.

    There is definitely room for it

    The price doesn't make me think less of this watch. It's actually more than I'm willing to spend right now. I was just curious as their quality for a possible future purchase.

    Actually paying attention to this thread because I love watched and may look for my dad in the future as well.

    Thanks.

    I know of them, but don't carry them


    I have many Swiss Army watches. Officers model or Alliance should fit him fine.

    What model did you buy? I'm looking to pick up another slimmer watch since I have a small wrist. My day to day watch is currently a stainless steel Skagen.

    I like a lot of the watches in this thread but I think they wold look like I was wearing a clock on my wrist.

    Hey Chris,
    Probably not the best thread for this but I have a question I am sure a lot of F Chatters would like to know. I have a Rolex President probably 8 years old that has lost its luster and the links on the band are loose. I know it can be returned to Rolex for servicing but can you tighten the links on the band and return it to almost as new condition?

    Good Question. I may be selling a watch soon and would love to get it buffed and prepped.

    Also, do you sell Timex?

    Thanks,

    The band can be tightened. There is a place here in Southern California that is supposed to be the best at it. I have seen their work and it was quite impressive.
    I can get their information this week if you are interested.

    Refinishing is done in house at my shop. The watch will look as close to 100% as possible.

    There should be someone local to you that can do it for around $125-$175, depending on the condition of the piece.

    I don't sell Timex, but so many people have been asking for their new watches, I might consider carrying their watches
