Apparently, there's no warranty offered here. Which frankly, is hard to justify. Virtually all reputable new watch sellers offer a warranty, either their own or from the manufacturer. I don't understand why this watch does not come with a Victorinox warranty...assuming it's brand new, and not a "second" or something not new. It's a very nice watch, and MD's price is $80-$100 less than other vendors. I collect watches and am very fond of Victorinox, but in my opinion, it's not worth the risk without a warranty.

cgalnyI believe this is an old model that has been out for a long time. I was looking at the black version a couple of weeks ago. Im curious how this movement compares to a Valjoux 7750.

Tsar_BombaThis is a Valjoux 7750 variant that's been beefed up to be able to handle the heavier hands used in larger watches. http://www.ablogtowatch.com/eta-valgranges-movements-solution-for-the-big-watch/

cgalnyHere's how I look at it. If it's $80 cheaper than a vendor that offers an 2-year warranty, then what are the odds that I'll need more than $80 of servicing in those 2 years? Then I decide if the trade-off is worth it.

apapercutThat's exactly how I look at it, too. I've bought a lot of new automatics over the years, and even if the odds of my needing to spend money to repair it are slim...it's still something I'd rather not have to think about, even just occasionally. But this is a very nice automatic. And I'm very find of Victorinox automatics, and am trying hard to NOT buy one.
