I first purchased this watch in 2012 and fell in love with it. I wore it 2-3 times a week switching out between my other watches. After 5 months, the leather straps had wore down to the point of tearing. I don't know if it was a one-off scenario. I emailed customer service about it to inquire about a refund/warranty/replacement but never got a response. I was very disappointed because it is such a beautiful watch. I recently purchased this again in the hopes of getting a better quality set of straps. So far the watch is holding well but it has only been a couple weeks. Outside of the straps poor quality from my very first watch, I love how clean it looks. I get asked about it all the time and providing this watch lasts more than 12 months, I can say I'd purchase it again. You should buy this watch. If it breaks I recommend reaching out to customer service to get a replacement.
