I got a question for you WATCH guys..............

[spistols]

I have been reading a lot of negative reviews for Luminox's repair service out of Rhode Island. Maybe it is the Kimber effect, where all CS in the NE is bad, just because, they are from the NE!

So, I have two Luminox Navy Seal watches. I want to take the watch face out of one, and put it in the other, then reseal for water tightness. Is there anyone here in the area that can do this with confidence, quality work, and warranty?

Good watches. That one ticks all the boxes for me except I prefer a Swiss automatic movement.

Luninox is a respected brand with the price that goes along with it. My only issue with them is they're all quartz movement watches. Nothing wrong with that. In fact I'm wearing a Citizen Pro Master quartz/Eco Drive ( solar powered) right now. I guess I just have a limit I'm willing to pay for a quartz watch.

Been wearing a Navy Seals Luminox black/rubber wristband watch since 2005. Best damn watches for the price. My work/dress up watch is a TAG Heuer.

I was never a big fan of Tag. However I want that big ass square Monaco chronograph real bad.

I don't see the point other than a fashion statement, which doesn't seem to be your reason. The smart phone made the watch obsolete unless you're an old codger. It is tactical as **** though so props for that.

Yeah the smartphone is THE go to for most folks as for time telling these days. But consider this, that same smartphone or Apple watch that made the watch obsolete will itself be obsolete in a year or two. And further down the road when that phone or Apple watch won't update anymore the watch will still have SOME value and be doing it's intended job.

I like good looking watches but don't like the prices. Don't think i have ever spent over $50 for a watch, to many other cool things to buy.

I've worked on my own watches but I'd never be comfortable working on anyone else's. Your best bet would be a watch specialty shop (several in gwinnett in Google maps).

One question though - are you sure that the watch models are similar enough that the swap will work?
- The dial diameter could be different, even 1mm makes a difference.
- The movements may by different meaning that they dial attachment points will be different, the date windows may be positioned incorrectly.

On the other hand, if the movements are the same the swap can be fairly simple if you swap out the internals as one assembly.
