I used to go the jewelers for this, they charge about $10 per watch. I got tired of this and bought a cheap watch tool kit from ebay (around $10) and now I do everything myself. It's easy.

I got mine during the MSN live days. It was $315 - $100 in cashback.

The prices seem to be going up since then

That would be a great concept for one of the SF resellers. You know, have a little logo at the top of the page: "iGent Membership Pack." Click it and get an instant starter package, and immediate elevation to Senior Member status on StyleForvm...an invaluable extra.

But would it include a BlazerSuit or a SwissArmySuit?

Ach.

Fortunately, the discount from new is not so great as to force me to jump on it right this second.

Thanks.

Too advanced for the Starter Pack...the SP requires something safer with no possibity of the drape.

It consists of Redwing GTs, Iron Heart 634, Seiko Spirit, Filson Bag, and a Flat Head Shirt. You can substitute a Red Moon wallet for any one item. Persols are not included but can be purchased at 30% discount.

(I keed, but I own the first 4)

Both Katsu Higuchi and Seiya Kobayashi would commit harakiri before cheating a customer or ever selling something that was not authentic. You should have absolutely no fears in this regard.

lol, thx for the reassurance. I'm just wondering how do I get the leather strap to fit my wrist perfectly? Does Seiko sell different kind of straps to accomodate the differences in wrist size or I just have to use the different holes in the strap to secure it on my wrist?
