I might be on the wrong forum, but I would like to know about Swiss Legend watches and what folks think about them. Good or Bad they are nice looking pieces.

This is a cross post from the Omega section.I'm a full time college student. So this was a big purchase for me. I wish I have mad photography skills like you guys.My Swiss Army pn wanted to open up my first Swiss watch package :)A really nice Omega wood box...wish I can take better pictures.

Mass watch battery storage....and drainage! Help!
Hi guys, I have a question and any help or tips would be grateful!We replace watch batteries on a fairly steady basis, for used watches of all brands.Our current issue is that it appears that our new batteries are draining all or mostly before we even install them!We store them in a suitcase. Each size battery is stored together in mini baggies or small fishing tackle style boxes.We usually remove them from the individual packaging because it allows for space saving.Ive never had an issue before (in the last 3 months) with drainage of mass quantity but lately they're all dead!Is it the storage? Are they draining by being against each other in storage?Is it too hot? (It's basic room temperature with AC on during weekdays)Are they just dud batteries? (usually bought from China in 100 qty packages)Any help from a pro or someone who just knows would be awesome. Thanks everyone!Michelle
