My main travel-watch Feb 13, 2008

This watch - Accutron Val d'Isere Chronograph -- is the watch I take when I go on travel, especially for overseas. I have the now-discontinued all-stainless steel version (the discontinued model also has unidirectional rotating bezel, but about $350 less than one with diamonds on the bezel). It is a handsome watch that can be worn during office meetings or for evening affairs. The watch has the accurate Accutron quartz movement and an eye-catching chronograph feature. It is water-resistance rated for 100 meters/330 feet (swimming pools or snorkeling pose no problem. And though the boat I was on in Thailand's Floating Market did not flip over, this Accutron would have handled the dunk, too). Lastly, adjusting for different time-zones is easier with a feature to only move the hour-hand (while the minute-hand remains fixed 'in place'). I've had my Accutron for over 4 years now, changed the batteries on year-3, not a scratch on the crystal nor the watch case. The bracelet, though, does show a few scuff marks and a couple of nicks.
Lovely without being 'gaudy' Aug 09, 2010
By June
I bought this watch through Amazon for my husband for a special birthday gift, and it's absolutely lovely without being gaudy or excessively showy. (He has decided, however, to wear it only for special occasions.) Still, it is simply stunning and lovely - even on this compact macho guy. This is good since he is the type that would not wish to wear a watch he considered feminine looking. Also, it is not a 'huge piece,' but a rather compact display. The diamonds are clearly sparkling and profuse, but their cut is flat-topped, so it's a bit more subtle. And the band is gorgeous with a more polished stainless steel look. At this stage, the only drawback seems to be that it lacks the mini-adjuster at the latch point on the band back - the one which permits a pin to be moved back and forth 1-2 millimeters for each of 2-4 holes. This means, in hubby's case, it feels too lose or too tight. So he says. If you, on the other hand, can live with link-removal differences, and are not a huge man, this may be your diamond watch.
