Excellent customer service and very happy with my new watch. It's like new and in perfect condition. Sam was very helpful when arranging delivery and when I had a question about the way the chronograph works, Sam took the time to call me and give a tutorial in how to use the watch properly. Very impressed and would highly recommend.
