    Hey,

    I only bothered with the last 2 pages of this thread but it seems to indicate that there are dealers here. I've got a Baume Mercier tank watch and the leather band is again showing the worn-out/frayed edge syndrome. I use and abuse it everyday.

    So, anyone got a deal on the replacment bands. Is this something I can change or do I just need to find an authorized jeweler in St. Louis again. Like Ferrair parts, it ain't no bargain. They charge like it's real crocodile when it is only emboseed cow hide.

    Jeff

    Either myself, or our other sponsor, Ray G. (Grenon's) can order you a strap.
    There really are no deals for factory straps from Baume.
    You can always go with an aftermarket strap in Alligator or Croc.
    Price will be much more reasonable than the factory cow hide.
    Baume does offer Genuine croc and gator skins as well.

    ya, no kidding.
    No wonder it sold before i hit 'submit reply.' :D

    This one was a trade-in, that's why I was able to offer it so cheap.

    If you or any of your buds need em, I got em.

    The store is kinda close to you I think..just up the 57 at the Main Place Mall..

    Thanks Brian,

    I think I know where you bought your Giantto's from, they are good people ( My cousin's actually :) )

    So, continue to buy from them, if they do not have what you want when you want it, call me and I can send it to their shop and you can pick it up there...

    It's all about Service! :)

    I think that the nascar one is different, this one on the back doesn't have the Nascar balance.

    Just the car in the photo is Nascar, not the watch.
    The other model I have is the Limited Edition Nascar, it has the Nascar logo on the back and a CF dial.
    The non limited does not have CF dial or Nascar logos

    Enjoy Mike,
    It's a really cool watch...
    I believe 2 of these now reside in Texas :) and with Fchatters
