TheWatchWorks - It is a new beginning

Thu, 05/22/2008 - 09:29 — thewatchworks

Greetings to all. We have upgraded the software program of this site and of course, all our previous content got erased. It is our fault for not knowing the proper way to back-up files. We love to travel and so you will see lots of travel pictures on this site. Will be starting again from scratch. Thank you for looking! TheWatchWorks Team

We did a couple of shipments to the UK using the more affordable (by US$10.00 versus FEDEX) EMS shipping method. The shipments we sent using EMS became trackable online via the www.parcelforce.com website and safely-arrived at their respective destinations within 10 business days or 2 weeks.

As of this writing, we now allow shipments to the UK using EMS (PARCELFORCE) for items below $201.00.

Please visit the Parcelforce website for more info about them:

Thank you.

LINUX MINT 6 FELICIA XFCE CE - BALANCED PERFECTION

Wed, 04/08/2009 - 07:57 — thewatchworks

I have tried a lot of Linux distros (flavors) like Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Fedora, OpenSuse, Mandriva, Dreamlinux, Crunchbang, Debian & AntiX among a few and I can say as a semi-newbie in Linux, it is the Linux Mint 6 XFCE CE that has become my favorite.

My personal opinions on why I say that Linux Mint 6 XFCE CE is my favorite:

Showing "Water Resistance" on eBay

Sat, 02/14/2009 - 05:24 — thewatchworks

Recently, many customers have showed us that an eBay seller is "proving" or "showing" the water resistance of his watches by providing a picture of his watch submerged in 5 inches of water. Actually, it is more like 3 inches of water.

Does submerging your watch in 5 inches of water prove any water resistance? Does submerging your watch in 5 inches of water for a few seconds prove any water resistance? The answer should be common-sense.

The only way to test water resistance is to submerge your watch in water in the proper "measurement of depth" for your particular watch. Or use a Pressure Tester and subject your watch to the pressures for the particular watch model. When it passes, then guarantees can be made.

If it says water70proof... and if one guarantees water resistance, then it should survive the whole time at that depth/pressure of 70 meters.

This is the simple reason as to why we at TheWatchWorks do not guarantee water resistance. We do not want to over-promise anything at all since we do not have a Pressure Tester.

Finally, our diver's watches will definitely survive in 5 inches of water... but we believe that it is a silly exercise to show water resistance in 5 inches of water.
