    Back to the Apple Watch: There's some good bargains, 25% off and perhaps more (ieTarget) if you or some special person you know would like to find it under the tree. Milanese loop anyone? Courtesy of 9to5Toys:

    I don't understand. If I hurt you somehow I apologize, it wasn't my intention.
    Have a great evening.

    You're still doing it. Your intention to belittle while trying to make it sound as though you're being conciliatory, is a problem, as you aren't just doing it to me. You know very well what you're doing here. Don't act innocent. I'm very liberal, and so I haven't already deleted all of your posts, but if I don't do it, someone else might.

    The swiss stopped supplying parts to local watch repair people so they have to send them off to be serviced, the consumers don't like the arrogance of these companies. They will now pay the price of angering their customers. Once the majority of the customers they had get used to another brand they will not be back. This will take a generation of people to get them back if they ever do. People that have inherited family heirlooms want to know their watch repair person, I know I have been repairing time pieces for over 50 years. I also trained with Omega in Switzerland many years ago. These big swiss watch companies have gotten too greedy and it will cost them greatly if they do not change their policy immediately. That's my opinion, whats yours.
