THE COMPANY THAT SELLS THIS WATCH WILL NOT STAND BEHIND WARRANTY AND WILL GIVE YOU THE RUNAROUND. THESE WATCHES ARE CHINESE MADE AND ARE NOT WELL MADE AND BREAK. THERE IS A FRONT COMPANY CALLED ALWAYS AT AUCTION WHICH WILL NOT SERVICE WATCH AND DOES NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS. WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE PHONE NUMBER THROUGH ANOTHER MERCHANT (972-242-4045) THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE WATCH AND ADMITTED THAT THEY DO NOT READ EMAILS. AGAIN DO NOT PURCHASE THESE WATCHES. YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS WATCH!!! THE COMPANY THAT SELLS THIS WATCH WILL NOT STAND BEHIND WARRANTY AND WILL GIVE YOU THE RUNAROUND.

Twice after I had the battery replaced to see if that was the problem. The Duboulle has been flawless in the month I've had it. I've had very good feedback from others who have seen the Duboulle on my wrist. The comment about the Duboulle's weight being a negative, I do not agree with. I also own a Breitling Colt which is heavy and pricy amoung others. The Duboulle is a very nice looking watch and for the price I paid, a deal.

For the $50 plus H&S I was bidding it would have made a great addition! The other watches I am currently obsessing over in the Duboule line are; Walton /Silver White Leather, Glasgow /Black, Dublin /Silver White Bracelet. I will get one soon. I really like this site for the information on the brand and other sordid details of ownership. I just won a Tremont Autodate B last week for just under $45. This is my first automatic. It’s a neat watch, in the price range, in a style I have wanted for a long time. Hope it lasts and thanks for the tips on maintenance. I go along with the opinion that a fun functional watch doesn't have to cost a fortune. I just lost a bid for a Duboule Thornhill /Black-Silver on ebay.

Some reports say they can go 20 years without a service, perfect! Also bought one for Dad for his 70th, which he loves. Answer for Mohammed, I got my Duboule fixed and serviced by a local watchmaker recently after I caught it in the car door, didn't cost much at all for a full service and repair ($90 here in New Zealand. Watchmaker said that any tradesman worth his salt could do it as they are relatively well put together basic units. Hope that helps Seiko 5′s, love em.

The jeweler who I did business with told me something very profound one day. He said, "I see you driving in here in your 13 year old Toyota Camry, why is that?" I answered him, "because it runs...and runs...and runs...and runs...and...(you get the idea)" He said, "why do you not own a Rolls or a Ferrari? I know you could buy an old BMW or Benz around here, people cannot give them away." I answered him, "I love the ride of a 7 series BMW, but I want to DRIVE the car, NOT work on it." He smiled. "Why do you not take the same attitude towards watches?" If these watches are anywhere near as good as the 50.00 Seiko 5's I can get off Ebay, they will really catch on. They surely look like a quality unit. I wonder what some of you would say about my favorite watch...the 5 model Seiko?

I recently found these "poser" brands and the look great, and pretty much, all I am after is function and look. I purchased a Louis Richard watch and the look is fantastic and hope the functionality is at least comparable. I love the people that hate on it just because the generic websites claim that they are worth a fortune. It is BS, we all know, but the "$900" watch I just purchased for$25 is great. I say, don't bitch about not doing your own research prior to purchasing. If you don't do your homework, you're the one to blame for being made a fool. Anyway, I just wanted to put in my 2 cents.
