Need some advice

Well, I might have *accidentally* been browsing Craigslist, and might have typed in Victorinox, and might have stumbled across an air boss. Trying to not just go buy it now.....

You can't beat the Airboss Chrono for the money  :tu:

Valjoux 7750 movement which has been a tried and tested calibre used by many other brands to great acclaim.

7750 Timekeeping Icon

One bit of advice, take the bracelet off the watch and clean it thoroughly in warm soapy water, any schmoo in the links will cause it to prematurely wear.  :salute:

b) WTF?! You could get a 2nd hand Omega for that price!!  :facepalm:

Hope it's a)...

I'm completely agreeing with Smashie on this one.

After cleaning the bracelet, make sure to lube it.

No don't, it attracts all sorts of schmoo and keeps it in place making the links and pins wear faster, remember the bracelet is constantly subject to small movements and will wear. It's all stainless steel so it doesn't need any lube at all.

First watch that I've purchased with the ETA 7750, or any eta movement for that matter. Next has to be a 2824 or 2892! Or maybe a Patek......

Paid $200 and a 1 pound cinnamon roll. It also came with a very high quality winder.
(P.S. I collect watches, and scrutinize over cleaning and maintenance)
