u/AsymptoticPerfection

I bought a Timex when I was 15 y.o. on my first visit to NYC and that watch lasted me several years. Now, 35 years later, and several watches since then, I decided to buy the Waterbury GMT with the root beer color scheme.

I have mixed feelings about it, all in all I like it but it has been a week and seems like the movement is still “settling” and may need an adjustment (which I am comfortable with).

I may decide to return the watch (paid about $520 for it), mostly because I can’t micro-adjust the strap. It is either strangling my wrist, or sliding down to my hand, no firm option in between.

Is anyone aware of micro adjustments on this butterfly clasp?

TIA!

Created a new profile here as this is my first review (long time listener / first time caller).

In the past I have purchased 3 reps from Steve (theOne) and they were great, but on my last order shipping took weeks (not his fault, rather FedEx re-routing) so this time I decided to try a US based TD, did my research, and went with Chronos Collective).

Pros:
- Communication, all my messages were most answered within hours, if not minutes… advantage of being on the same side of the world
- Shipping, got the rep within days not weeks, and with tracking from origin to destination, no anxiety if the item will be retained at customs, it is already state side.
- US based payment processing

Trade off (won’t call it Cons because they are obvious):
- you are paying a premium, but to me the service received justifies it (only you can make a call if this is worth your dollars)
- no prior QC, the rep is already state side, so you have to really trust the TD when he says it is a GL rep. I liked what I received.

Rep: VSF 124060LN Submariner Black No Date
Cost: $625

Pictures included, I will also try to include a video of the unboxing in the comments so you see the condition the rep arrived.
