I posted my disgust regarding the cost of a watch rapair -initially quoted at $3500.00. Today I received the watch - $2800.00 later. I have to admit - that the watch is as new. The case is perfect - the crystal' were replaced, and a new band and improved deployant are included. Except for the fact that I only wanted the watch to keep time, I am very pleased with the result. Just beware that if you need repairs out of warranty - it will cost - a lot!!!
