Wrist watches

Just thought i would let you know about my experience with Tokyo Flash:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

The watches look pretty funky and are pretty cheap, according to the website they are pretty good quality to.

I ordered one for laughs, shipping was quick, received the watch, it was defective.
Customer service was really quick to respond, told me to ship it back.
The watch looked really well machined, had a nice feel to it, but the LCD screen was defective.
I did, so, go refunded postage.
Received the replacement a few days later, and it was once again defective, once again the screen.
I decided i was done, told hem i wanted a full refund, including postage, and sent the watch back.

Got the refund for postage, then a refund for the watch when they received it back.

I realised at that point that they were trying to be cheeky and only refunded me the total i had payed, excluding both shipping back to japan (total of about $30)

They told me they couldn't refund more than the original credit card charge, offered me some store credit. I told them i was never going to order another watch and was not happy with them.
They offered to send me $30 cash, which they did.

So, in short, very honest people, poor quality funky watch.

I traded a .99 cent Casio watch for this in Georgia Russia.

I have a Walmart $15 El Cheapo watch. It tells time as well as the big boys do, and if I bust it I won't be crying over it. I'd much rather spend my hard-earned cash on music gear anyways! But, as the old saying goes, to each his own.

Well, here I am, two years later, and my $15 Walmart El Cheapo is still running as good as ever.

One of my favorite threads vanished... what's on your wrist now??

My Omega Seamaster Professional 300m.

It is a solid watch. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.

My new daily beater: a Seiko SKX007 with a Super Oyster II bracelet:

I have the same one, solid daily watch. Where did you get the oyster bracelet?

I got it from an eBay seller, wjean. Pretty much everyone on watchuseek holds him in high regard.

Age really has nothing to do with how well a watch works. If you take care of it, a 300 year old watch will tell time just as well as a brand new one and in many cases even better. The basic mechanical movement hasn't had any major changes in the last 120 years and the automatic movement hasn't in probably 80 or 90 years. Take it in to get oiled every 5 or so years and keep it wound and you will have a watch that lasts 100s of years.

Well, not really. There isn't a 300-year-old watch that's going to keep time as well as pretty much any quartz movement watch.

One of these.

Went to drop off a couple of my wife's watches for new batteries yesterday, came out with this. I had been looking at the all silver version (silver metal strap) of one for a very long time now. They had this one at $70 off the lowest price I had seen online, so I grabbed it. It was actually next to the silver one but I opted for class over flash. Gorgeous. I love Citizen watches, and love that it has the Eco-Drive for no battery changes and a perpetual calendar. This is the first nice watch I've had in a while!

I still wear my Citizen Blue Angels watch pretty often (1-2 times a week probably), but most often I wear my Raymond Weil now a days:

I've had this one for about a decade. Manual wind. The last few years it's been losing about 3 minutes a week. Apparently it would cost me 200 bucks to get it recalibrated, so I just set it ahead 3 minutes every Monday.

Rockin this one lately:

Always a tug of war for funds between watches and basses.

Which one has the built-in laser, and which has the garotte wire?

That's a cool one. It says "Made in the USSR" on it so it's an older one. FWIW, the name above that is Rocket. The words around the edge are cities and states. The American ones are Alaska at 22, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, and New York at 2. I have not seen many 24-hour wrist watches.

You probably know that though don't you?
