well that sucks pinder, but atleast its under warranty, do you wear yours?? As most don't, like i've said before I do, but the one I was wearing was in such mint condition I did not want anything to happen to it so I got another, cheap, for $85 from an auction that popped up outta no where with a buy it now and grabbed it, and it turned out to be in just as good of condition but the crown is a tad loose but the movement is great so it doesn't need winding. So my old one is on a watch display and this one on my wrist, still need to get the right band for it as I just have a different spiedel i just had laying around, but I just feel the band on the new season was different. But its definitely good the crazy rage is over, and the prices are with in reason for those who still may want one but not pay an arm and a leg for one, but due to that one being relisted after being sold it seems those guys are still out there bidding and not buying, why at this point? I have no clue especially since not that many people are after them. Like Tyler said, most of the people that wanted one, got one.
But in the end, its still my favorite prop from the show since its used daily.
