    Is rust a thing of the past? I have read – albeit only affecting ice-hardened bracelets – a few examples of rust. My DA46 isn’t on a bracelet, so should I forget paranoia about frequent submersion underwater?

    I have a very nice (in my opinion) little 15 jewel American pocket watch made in 1911. It’s an excellent time keeper so I like to carry it with me in the watch pocket on my blue jeans, which gets a bit sweaty in the summer.

    Every time I acquired a "vintage" watch, I saw that there's always pitting on top of the thread area where the backcover sits. I know that "alley" like areas like this attract rust to build up. This got me thinking, if I got a watch long enough so that it has built some pitting, it must be a...

    Fossil don't make watches, they make bracelets with a timekeeping function, meant to be disposed off after a season. Bought this in 30 March 2010. Today is 23 November 2010. Never swam with it ever. "This warranty does not cover -Any defects in materials and workmanship of battery, case...
