That you for the lesson. I found it quite interesting, shed light on a few unasked questions and I learned new things! So, having to break the seal on my Movado the first time was probably the beginning of the end.
there are a lot of less expensive internet sources. Jomashop is pretty popular. Some do not carry US warranties because they source overseas instead of from a US importer. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing if the price differential is significant. A lot has to do with arbitrage and the high dollar.
I love my Shinola watch.
