Titanium Wenger... w00t!!!

[jonnyGURU]

About six years ago, I bought a second hand Wegner Swiss Army watch off of eBay.

That thing went through hell. I wore it 24/7 including working on the car.

Well... as a PBX installer, I'd travel a lot. Two or three round trips a week to be honest. And as I'd travel, I'd change the time on my watch every time my plane landed at an airport in a different time zone.

My last trip, I pulled the crown out of my Wenger to change the time from Central to Pacific (lay over at DFW on the way to San Jose) and the crown pulled all of the way out.

So the watch still works, but it says it's the 31st and it's stuck on Central time (28 days in Feb and I'm in Eastern time!)

I looked around eBay to see if I could find a replacement at a deal and I stumbled on a guy that has a bunch of titanium Wengers for $80!!!

I bit. And now, only two days later, I have my Wegner. The tag says "Remanufactured" but this thing looks brand new! The titanium is sooooo coooool!!!! They don't polish it at all, so it's just dull grey titanium color and it weighs NOTHING! My wife thought it was one of those plastic watches when I handed it to her!

If any of you guys need a watch, you've got to jump on this!

Fossil makes some nice titanium watches...bit more pricey though.

A bit more pricey? Fossil Titanium watches only sell for $100 to $200. Wengers are usually over $200.

I had two Fossils before I bought the Swiss Army. I really loved the way they looked. The bands were really tough too (usually the first thing I break.) But the crystal scratched way too easy on one and the other just stopped running and it wasn't a battery. I think moisture got into it, even though it hadn't been opened before it died. Reason I think that is because the glass would fog up whenever I came into an AC'd room from outside.

Oh... and Fossil's don't even have Swiss movt. Not that Jap movt is bad or anything.. but I'm old school.

No. Not me. I don't even know this guy. I'm just tickled to death with my Swiss Army Titanium and I wanted to share the deal!!
