 Well as I am sure everyone knows but never does, you should always closely inspect every watch that you receive, you know It's the same thing as when I tell a customer they should backup their data every week and then I come home to my computer which I haven't' backed up since um... dos 5.5!!

It takes a very nice watch to keep me interested after all the little things that I found wrong with it yesterday, and I still like it a lot! The only lingering complaint I have is that the end links are poorly fit to this case and I suppose that is because they are designed to fit the divers and this case is slightly different.

I wish I could say go out and buy one but with the dollar as soft as it is right now 500 dollars is still half way to an Omega which even used is still a sure thing.
Between Inflation and added markup these no name brands are not nearly as attractive as they were last year. The "good ole days" of scratch and dent sales from them yielded an exceptional value but now I'm afraid they out of my league for anything less than a sure thing.

For the rest of the world with a stronger dollar if the price point is still fair then I suppose the value is still there but I'm going to retire from watches for a while and go back to my shop to catch up on my car projects where my labor still yields the same amount of work per hour as it did last year.
