Thanks everyone!!! Sea dweller crown problem
Thank you all for your replies to my problemI talked to MARAL in customer service at the Beverly Hills rolex service center, she is a really really nice lady! she assured me that the watchmakers there would take very good care of the watch and that not to worry about a thing because the techs will check it all out and make sure its good to go before they send it back to Rolex store in south coast plaza. the staff at the rolex store was very very nice as well, but it just sucked that i couldnt just get a new one even though it left the store for less than 24hrs. oh well i guess thats just life. Thanks again everyone!!! Tecky

Hamilton Aviation ETO - What gives?

what do you have as a "junk" watch?
I just decided that my Seiko and Hamilton are too nice to be on my wrist while I'm pulling wrenches on the car or digging in the yard so I went out and bought a watch which I have every intention to beat the hell out of. What do you use for activities that you'd rather not see your loved watches be a part of?
