    1. Fossil Men's Twist Bronze Dial Watch ME1035
    2. Price:$115.00 Image: http://bestdeallocator.info/image.php?id=B001A63TQU Best deal: http://bestdeallocator.info/index.php?id=B001A63TQU I had a problem similar to the previous reviewer: the the rim of the little dial inset at the bottom of the main dial fell off and jammed the hands of the large dial. Fossil needs to discontinue this item! I returned it for servicing and am hoping they found a way to solve the defect. To be fair, I should point out that this watch is beautiful! Unfortunately, the one I bought broke in under a minute. All was well when I put it on but by the time I crossed the room I noticed a strange rattling noise and looked down to see the rim of the second hand dial (the ring around the outside of the background dial that has notches for every five seconds etched into it) had fallen off and was flying around completely detached inside the face of the watch. I wanted another watch just like this because it is so nice looking, so I saw the cheaper price here on Amazon so I thought I'd buy one here and return the other one to the store next chance I got. My second copy of this watch, straight from the box, already had that same piece rattling around loosely under the glass. So now I have two identically broken watches. I called Fossil asking about the problem and they said they've never heard of this happening. Sounds unlikely considering both of the watches I boug! ht were broken in the same way. The watches are covered by the warranty, but it will cost me $20 to ship it there and to pay for shipping back. Ultimately, I think it will be cheapest to just live without this poorly made watch. It might be worth noting, that prior to dealing with this specific watch, I had to return another watch from this same TWIST line for being broken right out of the box as well. My conclusion is that these TWIST watches are just poorly made in general. My Fossil from 8 years ago that cost half the price still works perfectly and it has never left my wrist for more than an hour each year to get a new battery in it. I was really hoping to find in this new generation of Fossils the same high quality I am used to, but I guess they just don't make them like they used to (they just charge more anyway). The face of this watch is substantially larger than appears in the accompanying picture. I suppose it's the height of the newest fashion trend, but it does take some getting used to. After a couple of weeks, however, I am quite satisfied with this purchase, and have received a number of compliments for its rich and handsome appearance.
