I was very lucky with this particular watch we bought, very well made, stones still all in (a year later).  It is my work watch, takes alot of bumping and rubbing and getting wet (i work in the nursing home), and it still works and looks great, all the functions intact and all stones in place.  My friend had same exact model she bought at Kohl's, and stones keep falling out.  She had it about a month longer than me, and it only has half of the stones now.
