I was tempted by the "mystery watch", and on paper it looked like a great deal. Not sure what to do with a bright orange, super thick watch. I would have traded and upped the ante to spend more on something I thought would make a good graduation present, but they were like "no deal" I went to ebay and to my chagrin there were plenty of examples some new - some from the Xeric website - that were less than what I paid I may yet sell on ebay understanding I won't get my money back. Xeric has some very interesting looking watches, but I suggest you spend 20 minutes comparison shopping. I assure you that you will get a better deal on ebay. I will take my lesson like I deserve it - my grandma told me if I try and get something for nothing, that's just what I'll get - So, I'll take my lumps and there will be one fewer return customer on Xeric
