It is getting serviced at the moment and it has been gone for a week already. Oddly enough, I miss the watch that I never wear! It is right at 5 years old and it was starting to act up. If I wear it, it would gain about 15 seconds a day. If I wind it up and let it sit, it would gain about an hour a day!!!!! I figured that was a dang good indication that it needs to be serviced. This is my first time every having to pay for service, and let me tell you... I am still crying at the $300 price tag...

Know what you mean! Those service fees are a bite,but it will come back good as new. Any idea how long it will take?

That's really growing on me. That and the standard Bond... they just look a heck of a lot better in person than they do in pics! Having a broken family is never good...

Yep! I hate it when one is missing. The Bond is really sharp! [http://imageshack.us] [/URL]

I know $300 sounds like a lot for a service, but that baby will be like brand new when you get it back. I have to agree on the Bond looking better in person. I don't really care for it in pics, but it looks soooooooooo good on the wrist.

I bet you'll be surprised how it turns out. I'll be anxious to see it.

Where did you send it to get serviced?
How long have you had your Aqua Terra?
