New Victorinox Swiss Army watch!

Today I picked up my new everyday watch, the Victorinox Swiss Army Chrono Classic ( stainless steel, black face+tachymeter ). I got it for 25% off retail value ( originally $595, paid $447 ). Perfect size watch for my wrist, and it is the perfect weight; The titanium model was too light for me. Very accurate chronograph, and it is swiss made so it's built to last. Now i don't have to worry about scuffing up my Omega or Rolex everyday! This watch is great and i can't wait to start wearing it


* Sorry for the bad picture, i am having trouble with uploading the good pictures

You got a very good watch and I'm sure you will enjoy it. I recently sold a SA classic chrono to help fund an incoming. They are good watches for the money. Cheers, Bill P.

the only problem i have with victorinox is that its days are numbered. i have had it overhauled twice. and now its fast from 30-60 seconds mark and slow in the 1-29 seconds mark. but still equals 1 minute period. very weird.

If your watch is an automatic, take it to a jeweler and get it de-magnetized. I had that problem on an Omega Seamaster and after it was de-magnetized it was back on track. Cheers, Bill P.
