- Don't overthink it. It's just a frivolous thing to buy because they can. And as with anything beauty is in the eye of the beholder.SteveJobs
- I used to hate them but now I happen to like them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯SteveJobs
- In person they are quite nice. There are just so many copies it's easy to think they are all the same.
It's no different than a nice suit, etc.formed

- Is this smaller than an average men's Rolex? How much would this run?HijoDMaite
- This one is 40mm, around the mid size range. The new models are 42mm. I think this one would cost 5kpinkfloyd
- It also wears a bit slimpinkfloyd
- it's boring. i get that rolex, as a brand, is an iconic timepiece that you could hand down. but nah.lvl_13
- you could hand down a timex that cost $100 and it would mean the same.lvl_13

- Whatever makes you happy pansypinkfloyd
- I actually like it because it's very neutral as to not stand out at all. I would pay for the name only because it has a reputation. I don't own any other Rolex.HijoDMaite
- But anyway that ain't happening soon, I got me a trumpet to buy for my kiddo. LolHijoDMaite
- There's a tangible difference in wearing a rolex vs other watches. I don't see why rolex gets so many hate from people, and seems to bring out the worst in thempinkfloyd
- If I saw someone with a rolex, I would be either happy for them and if I didn't like it, I wouldn't be a pansy and say negative comments.pinkfloyd
- I gave my opinion and nothing more. You act like it was a personal attack and then go straight into name calling...again.lvl_13
- Your opinion is like a kid going to a museum and saying a picasso is the same as a where's waldo drawingpinkfloyd
- you got issues.lvl_13
- don't we all, but thankspinkfloyd
- the reason why this watch is special is the patina dial across the entire facepinkfloyd
- It's a nice watch but unless you're actually rich, spending 5k on a watch is retarded. You can buy one that is just as nice for $200set

- wrong thread......j/k :-)formed
- hmm... maybe you're right.dorf
- Actually, the friend who I go kayaking with has just bought one, or one v. similar. Options and settings for days. Large, too. My Gear S2 does enough for me.face_melter
- She does (winter) ice skating and orienteering and wanted something hardy with decent GPS. Early doors, but she seems to like it.face_melter

- Maybe, but why uniqlo? Isn't that cheap stuff? If it was Nordstroms I'd say real, but if you are casually wearing a $15k watch you can probably afford niceformed

I've got a watch question for you gurus out there.
I've got a Victorinox Swiss Army watch like in the photo below, but I'm currently running a NATO band.
It's not an amazingly extravagant watch, but it's the most expensive one that I've ever owned. And more importantly, it was a wedding gift from my wife so there's some sentimental value attached.
The watch is leaking a tiny bit of water when I submerge it. Just enough to show a bit of condensation underneath the glass.
I've taken it to a jeweler I trust and had them dry it out and replace the gasket, but the same thing happened again after I wore it when I gave my kid a bath.
I pulled out the stem and let it sit and the water seemed to evaporate... or go elsewhere within the body of the watch. And I haven't touched it since then.
A watch that I can dunk underwater isn't going to fit my day-to-day lifestyle, but I don't want to give up on this thing.
Any ideas? Is it possible or even worth it to fix? Or do I just need to settle for this one being my "can't get it wet" watch?
- Did the water leak start happening when a battery was changed? Is the gasket from the original manufacturer? If the watch is labeled water resistent, then itpinkfloyd
- Your watch needs to be pressure tested. I don't know, I had the same problem happen to me when they changed the batteries.pinkfloyd
- Make sure it's a good watch guy. My Tag has leaked some and they try to get me to spend, but I just avoid water with it. Do you need to get it wet?formed
- I'd try another jeweler but make sure they know what they are doing. If that doesn't work, just don't get it wet.formed
- Thanks guys. Jeweler did pressure test the watch. Said it failed but that it should be ok for being inches underwater. Guessing gasket is not from manufacturer.nocomply
- Can't confirm if the problem was always there. Didn't take it underwater until I changed the band to a non-leather one...nocomply
- Which I didn't do until I had changed the battery at least once.nocomply
- Watch is rated water resistant to 100Mnocomply
- Changing the batteries and bending / denting the old gasket did my one watch inpinkfloyd
- ^and that's why I've always paid the ridiculous charges for a good jeweler to do itformed
- I have a similar one.pango
