I have this watch for quite some time and within one year I had to replace the watchband twice, now the third time it seems to have a stronger mesh link. It has gotten expensive every time to mail in the watch and spend U% 35.-- for a new band. I also just had it serviced and when it came back, my second dial is not working anymore. Very disappointed from Skagen Service after getting it cleaned (another U$.!!) to receive it broken bad.
