Good stuff, Chris!
I spent a few minutes clicking "refresh", while sipping my morning coffee, and not once did the ad come up.

Chris,
I need to get in touch with you about the new watch box AND a new strap.

Guys, If you plan to keep your watch in collector condition, you may want to buy a new perf strap to keep as a "collector spare". It doesn't hold up well to daily use.

I wear mine all the time and the strap looks perfect except that it's no longer flat. But then I'm just a desk jockey so it's not going through anything rough. I might have to switch it out for the pilot strap soon just for a change of pace.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
you mean you don't wear yours when you work on your 928?

How do you know what time it is to break for beer?

James you can work on your cars, just depends on what you need to work on. For example, if you had a lift like Bill Ball, you could do a motor mount job, half shafts, exhaust work, oil changes, etc. Hell, with a hang gliding harness and a mobility channel on the ceiling you could do a top end refresh super easy. Like I have to tell you to look at things from a different angle, you are Mr. Positive in the flesh!

I just went to the Excellence site, first ad was the 928 watch
then it didn't show up after about 10 refreshes. It's in the rotation though.

Did you check your email? There's a pkg coming your watch

When the TB on the watch fails?

Chris,
Thanks SO much for the package in the mail. Sorry for the late response.
Guys, this fella sent me a new BOX... because mine was dented.
He also sent a new watch band... because mine was wearing out.
I wear the watch ALL THE TIME!
He hasn't asked anything from me, guys.
Thanks Man!

So Chris, how many watches do you have left??

You are welcome.

I don't know exactly how many I have, they are in my safe at the other shop.
I think it's around 20 though

James, I get that every single day! When I wear any one of my Rolexes or Omegas, I don't get anything. Go figure!

Andy,

Isn't that awesome! I am SOOO HAPPY with the way this all turned out! Took a year, but it was WELL worth it! Really QUALITY time piece that is very understated and attractive and gets all the RIGHT kind of attention!

My watch is acting up. After I take it off and leave it sit for awhile it will stop working, and then I will need to reset the time when I wear the watch again.

Also, how do I get the straps removed from the watch itself? I'm not use to these watches :P
