This is the third time i've purchased this watch and i still love it! i know that doesn't sound good but just hear me out. The first time I got this was the one with the rubber band and it was the early 1980's, yeah thats right i said it. 30+ years ago. I beat the heck out of it and it lasted about 8 years. The band had to be replaced 2 times before i decided to give the whole thing to my younger brother. I should have kept it! Then again in the mid 90's i was bar tending and i picked up the same exact watch (but the movement was made in a different location, i guess they moved the factory). Well it was a great dive watch maybe not the best bar soap watch. I had to send it in for repairs once and they fixed the crown and got it moving again (the red turned pink after about 10 years). I still have it scratches and all and it still runs. But it is beat to hell and i figured after trying all the other watches including a Tag (what a huge waste of $1500 i would treat myself to getting back to my first love. This watch is the best! Never pulls a single hair on my wrist is always comfortable, and i can easily adjust it myself. just last week my friend down from NYC who work on WalL St. with his way too expensive Rolex kept telling me how much he liked my watch. Some things just are right the first time. This watch is worth every penny!
