Purely situational. I own mostly chronos (actually use the complication daily). I'll wear my armitron or X-33 for an interview or for events where I dont want the watches reputation to overshadow me. I wear my X-33 80% of the time since for me it is the ultimate tool watch and alternate when the mood hits me.
I might just give switching the bracelet side and moving the clasp. Reversing just the clasp would drive me nuts opening and closing it backwards. Damn OCD.
Unfortunately I have removed all the links on both sides and the watch head always sits towards the outside (away from me) of my wrist. when my wrist swells for the summer it would sit right I think. I guess ill observe and fiddle for a spell. Knowing I can cut a link slipped my mind. Ill look and see how it would affect the taper. Thanks gents!
chin up, take a day or two to breathe and then jump back on that horse. 8-5 everyday working on finding another gig. stay positive and surround yoirself with kike people. if you need anything dont be afraid to email me. We are defined by the hard times the Lord throws out way. keep the faith!
I'd like to take a link out but I have taken all I can out . The watch head sits too far away from me on my wrist or too close to the outside of my wrist. Arrrrgggggg!
Try locally, I had an hour indicator fall of my TOG and a local jewelry shop fixed it, no questions asked. I might revisit with them to see if they can service a movt or do any mods.
I guess its a money thing? I would buy rep clothes (talking dress stuff). As far as jerseys try ebay. Plus there are a lot of sites selling rep jerseys. Just dont buy from eastern europe, or mideast. Fowl stuff.
My friend I am in the same boat and i agree with you. Had a norikka PO last for 1.5 yrs and sold it. Out of my 5 other reps (1 is brand new) only my IWC is still running (1.5 yrs). I have researched this ad nauseum and came to this conclusion: I now factor in a service in all my purchases: $125 for non chrono and $225 for a chrono. As stated previous mosy movts are bone dry and do require a service.
