Oscar - THE ENABLER OK, I snagged one too. Just bought the Blue Chrono. $44 with standard shipping. I figure it will be a good gift watch or I might even like it for myself. Attachment: 25000139_1_b.jpg (Downloaded 31 times) |

Got mine today. A blue chrono. Only problem is they shipped me a ladies watch. I checked my order and it says MENS. Strike one for shopathome! :( |

Pax I hope your wife likes the AR. I am torn about recommending Slop watches, because they are in town and employ a lot of people here, but JS makes it hard. I ordered a mans red chronograph on a strap and the ladies red chronograph on a bracelet. I wish I could have gotten the mans on a bracelet missed out on that one. |

Thanks for the info. Customer service is closed. So, I called sales to place an order for the blue chrono MENS, but it shows up when the order is placed as a ladies. On the web site it is listed as Mens. So, my salesperson said there was nothing he could do. If I order a replacement it will be another ladies watch. It is a glitch. So, I will have to return it for a refund. Too bad. It is a heck of a nice watch for the $$. I'm impressed with the quality. |

I sent back my red chrono on strap cause the GMT(off by a minute) wouldn't adjust properly and the CS person was about as nice and knowledgeable as I have ever spoken to!... so accomadating I felt guilty...lol!...she also mentioned that some were marked "mens" or unisex by mistake and told me about the return policy which I believe is the best I have encountered anywhere...they are very Customer Oriented!....much like our Good Friend Marc at IslandWatch!

I hope mine works after hearing the problem that O had with his chrono, just goes to show you the thing that I live by is "keep it simple stupid". |

I'm sure she'll like the AR. I don't see how Slop coud muck it up though they have yet to ship and her birthday approaches. Ordered on 9/30...no shipping yet!! I thank you for the tip! Pax |

That is OK the one I have has an ETA 251.262. It has a set up 1/10 sec at 2, sec at 6, 12 hr at 10 and hr min. sec. and 60 min coming of the main shaft. I am going to keep it, I would be nuts to let it go back, and reset the hands when I get time. Ha Ha Ha spare time that is funny. Have a good night. |

FWIW, I just sent my wrong watch back. I didn't bother to call CS. I just mailed it back. I then found a new listing for another "man's" watch after their site had been down all morning (Weds.). I clicked on another model to see it. By the time I went back to order the other watch, it was taken down. Ditto for two others I was gonna get. So, Deal or no Deal, was all NO for me. :? |
