This is a great basic watch. A co-worker owns it two-tone, with no problems whatsoever. She has had it a couple of years. If it is a Swiss Made watch, it is meant to be used and worn a long time, so I would not worry about that. As for the price, it's good because Nordstrom is an AD that is important, should the watch ever need servicing. Since it's stainless steel, it should hold up pretty well. Wear in good health.
