It's pretty ... that's in regards to it.
By Dennis Grieco Jr.
Purchased this watch this past Spring. By the Summer, the screws keeping the watch case to the bracelet came loose and the watch fell off my wrist while driving. I was capable to find most of it and sent it back to the mfg. for replacement. The humans at Timepieces International were very nice and I received my alternate after with regards to six weeks (they were out of stock at the time). The crown on the substitute nevertheless was bent and prevented me from screwing it down. My third substitute had the same problem but only slightly, so I decisive to keep it.

There's no denying that the watch is gorgeous and this one is acceptably accurate, but I've never had any watch ... not even a cheap 'gift with cologne purchase' watch just fall apart like this one. My suspicion is that the motion may be Swiss, but even the Swiss make cheap movements. Further the watch doesn't say 'Swiss Made' which leads me to believe that the watch, for all intensive purposes is actually Chinese. I work quality for a cosmetic formulating company and the Chinese imported constituents I've seen are of such low quality, that needless to say I'm not a huge fan of Chinese made goods.

I do have to give kudos to client service even though ... they were very responsive, they didn't interrogate me regarding details of the problem, and they gave me exact data with regards to the turnaround time.

I don't think I'll be buying any more watches from Timepieces International. I have a couple of friends that have watches from them and they each have complaints (inaccurate, short battery life, etc.) If I want a good cheap Swiss motion watch, I think I'll go with Invicta instead. I own various and all have been problem free and their designs range from big chunky progressed to classic 'Rolex Submariner' type and everything in between.

Too bad too ... this watch line is exceedingly beautiful to me but I can't get past the poor quality problem.

Keep an eye on those pesky little screws that hold this watch together!!!
By M. J. Reynolds
The teeny, tiny screws that hold this watchband together came out...watch fell off...parts went everywhere. Darn! Just six days after Amazon return amount of time ended. And Time Pieces International won't touch it...this was purchased through Amazon.com so they receive no responsibility...major design flaw here folks...so look out. Now looking forward to paying a local repair shop to make this right...

Great Watch
By Elliott Riggs
I have had this watch for over 2 years now and not had any issues. I get alot of compliments on it. The carbon fiber looks and feels real as apposed to phony sticker carbon that numerous brands use. I now own 3 Daniel Steiger watches and I would definately buy another.
