“I bought this as a gift. The recipient didn't like it. I thought I could return it. SInce it was bought on sale, I was told I cannot return it. Now I am stuck with it.”
“I bought this watch after having spent six months in Zurich and making extensive use of the excellent Swiss railway system and the ubiquitous Mondaine clocks upin which its legendary promptness relies.
The watch was meant to be a reminder of the things that impressed me about the Swiss.
Unfortunately, the quality this watch is not representative of those experiences.
The leather band is tiny. Despite literally containing the word "Giant" in the description, it is not. I have to use the very last hole in order for it to fit my wrist--and I'm not an especially large man. The band is at least an inch shorter than any other watch I own. I thought I may have ordered a ladies watch my mistake. But no, it's just meant for very small wrists.
The crystal already has several scratches. I've worn it twice and have not abused it or worn it to do manual labor. Apparently, through very light wear, you are able to scratch the glass. It's difficult to show on photographs, but there are two scratches that should not be there this soon after unboxing. I have watches with over a decade of use with less wear and tear.”
