Worldlux or is it world lux on the web has some fine watches and often competetive pricing. They also carry a fine selection of fountain pens too. I got my Bulovas from them.

It's amazing. Sad to see how times have changed and it is getting harder and more expensive to maintain the treasures that we have found and grown attached to. Only a few decades ago, it would have been easy to find a place to get a watch maintained, and it would take less time and cost less as well.
So I'm going through seperation anxiety already. I purchased this watch just over three years ago, and have been wearing it fairly regularly ever since. I've really bonded with it and I plan on wearing it for numerous years to come. I just hope it doesn't eventually become impossible to find someone to work on it; I may just need to try to learn myself someday.
So, does anyone else notice this? Are there any items that you own; rather it be a wristwatch, or vintage piece of electronic equipment that you struggle to keep maintained and working? Just thought I'd see if anyone else could relate to this.

Seems to me that the concept of "rude" is somewhat antiquated, no? How often do we see mens wearing their hats -- or more often, caps -- indoors, or screaming into cellphones, etc . . . But then again, I'm over fifty, too -- and so are my watches!jeep44 said:. . . In business and social situations, it is just so much easier to discreetly check the time on your wrist, as opposed to pulling out your phone and checking the time ,which can come across as rather rude.
