Need opinion on a watch.
on: December 25, 2012, 08:39:48 AM
Was looking at this. Does anyone have first hand experience with this watch? Any opinions on this watch? I'm loving it has a Sapphire Crystal and the price seems great compared to what a quick search turned up. Can anyone find this watch cheaper than this? Please someone enlighten me on this watch.

I believe Felinevet Tim can get Wenger watches as they should be the same distributor as the knives.  I would suggest sending him an email or PM and ask what (if anything) he can do to help.

As for the quality of the watch itself, I would say that Wengers are fantastic.  In fact, the current head of Wenger, Peter Hug, is a watchmaker, so you can bet your bottom dollar that extra care is taken on the current offerings.  He takes the watches very personally, so while I don't have any specific knowledge of that watch I'd feel comfortable in saying that you will not be disappointed.

Cap, Thats a very nice looking watch.If you buy something from there they will send you coupons and they have specials all the time.I am not very happy with SwissOutpost service, I have ordered from them 6 times and have had problems every time.I ordered a Vic Hercules and got a Sentinal in the box and they accused me switching it. Anyways thats a very cool watch :tu:

That sucks- I wouldn't deal with a company that treated me (or any MTO member) like that.

Just a side rant, why the hell do companies feel justified spending money on marketing to try and make people forget how smurfty their customer service is?  wouldn't it just be better and easier to treat customers right the first time so they will not only come back but also send along their friends?

Thanks fellas. Sorry to hear about your problems with there service. They have been 100% with me, but I have not needed to use there customer service.  I am really tempted to buy it as I got a gift card that will just cover the cost. Well anyways. Merry Christmas everyone.

 Wenger watches' lume sucks, gone in 30 minutes or less. Other than that they are pretty decent.

I'm not too concerned with the lume. Obviously I would like it to last longer, but I don't depend on it so no biggie. I actually just ordered the watch so good or bad I own one.  :)  I also used a promo code so another 10% off of the 60% discount and no tax + free shipping. I cant wait to get it. Merry Christmas too me.   :gimme:
