Delayed response (sorry)...the 6 weeks was Hermes' service . In the US, all of their watches are sent to NY (even for a change of battery). When I dropped off the watch I was told that I was 'lucky' because it used to take 2 months and I may get mine back in 4 weeks.

Having said that, for $35 they replaced the battery...polished the stainless steel surrounding the watch face...and generally made it look like new. Not a bad deal considering that replacing the battery in my cheap-ish back-up watch cost around $20.

There's this French brand "Opex" that does a similar model called "Ballerine" with a double strap. It's a fraction of the Hermes.



(opexwatches)

It's the one I've been wearing for years and love it.

If I could, I'd get the Cartier but there's no way I'll put that amount of money on a watch...

I have worn watches since kindergarten. Most of the watches I wear have been given to me by my father, because he's gets tired of me begging him. My favorite watches have run out of battery and I have been too lazy to go to the clock shop. When school finishes up I definitley going to get them fixed because I'm tired of wearing this boring black one all the time.

What do you guys think of all white watches?

I want a watch but can't decide on what type to get. The silver link ones seem to manly, and black might seem to harsh. But I don't know what I think of white ones yet.

Thanks!!

i wear a sleek thin strapped black fossil watch. it's stylish and it tells the time. i'd hate to have an expensive watch because I'm prone to scratching or losing them. i'll just have to admire from afar

I wear a brown, leather strapped vintage army watch that used to belong to my grandpa. I'm not into watches at all but this one has sentimental value for me.

i do need a watch. it's more a necessity than a desire. and that's exactly what i like about watches. there's no other accessery serves such pure function as watches. and i associate watches with something "timeless", a classic. and it is indeed used to dealt with "time"
currently i'm wearing this seiko watch everyday, it's very similar to the cartier one. simple and classy.
