Comment posted on Watch Case Press w/ Nylon Dies by Mary Ellyn Nord
This item was sent back. It was terrible. I have one that is 25 years old with metal dies. I thought the nylon would be better for watch repairs. I could not get even a thin watch between the dies. the lever would not go up enough. I tried with several watches. It was useless.

- This is a good tool. No instructions but you can figure it out. I’ve used it a few times now. I made sure to tell all my friends that I have it so they can benefit someday. This is not one you use very frequently.
Rating: 5 / 5 - Works as expected.
I used it to close a Skagen 233XSMM after replacing the battery. None of the local jewelry dealers wanted to touch it, they all claimed that the crystal is to easy to break. I didn’t have any problems closing it with this tool.
There are instructions on line, look for “Watch repair tool guide” under “Little David.” Make sure you use the appropriate dies and that the watch is properly seated on the bottom die (look from above, make sure the die and the watch are centered). There is significant friction between the handle and the base (this is why I gave it ONLY 4 stars) so you have to be careful while applying pressure.
I read Mary Ellyn Nord’s review before buying this tool and it took me a while to decide to buy it. I don’t have a 25 years experience, this is my first watch I closed with a press, but my experience with this tool is so different.
Rating: 4 / 5 - We purchased this press to help us with at home repairs. It works great! It is easy to use. We would recommend!
Rating: 4 / 5 - The watch case press worked well, but wish it had come with some instructions. I am a novice.

I own two Invicta watches. You get a nice watch and a lotta bling for a little cash. I don’t doubt that this is a nice timepiece, attractive and reliable. But that list price is a joke! Did somebody move the decimal place? The sweet spot on Invicta watches is around $40 – $100. Beyond that, you may find better value in a high-quality mass produced watch like Seiko.

I own two Invicta watches bought at the same time and both have issues. The only thing worse than the issues is their customer service. The only reason I gave them 2 stars instead of 1 star is that they are nice looking watches… as for the movements, and accuracy of the time they keep both watches leave something to be desired.

This watch box looks far better than you see in pic, I bought it for 39$ but in reality it look much costlier.
Finishing is good and weight is lighter than usual wooden boxes. Its truly value for money!!

This is a great looking watchbox that far exceeded my expectations. It has the look and feel of genuine leather and is truely beautiful. All my watches have 44mm cases or larger and this box accommodates them adequately. The pocket is quite useful for storing extra links and stuff. Looks GREAT on top of my chest of drawers next to my jewelry box. I have researched a lot of watchboxes and I can’t imagine a better buy for the money. If you want a classy look for a reasonable price…get this box.

Would you remove “1 in stock”, not to further confuse customers? I’ve been waiting for this watch for 1 week, today just realized this won’t be shipped till next year..and the customer service told me this is because the watch is in back order while it still shows ONE IN STOCK!
