I'm thinking about ordering a watch on-line, and was wondering where I can go to get the band adjusted if need be. I figure jewlery stores are the most logical places to go. Am I missing something.

Find a watch store. There are some in the malls down here. Usually do that kind of thing cheap.

On-line purchase noted.

Make sure you claim that on your tax return.

Make sure you pay the Nebraska use tax on that.

Yep, some jewlery stores will charge you a $25 fitting fee.

Some online places say that resizing the ring violates the warranty. Overstock comes to mind...

Yet another reason my $6 Wal-Mart watch with velcro band pwns all other watches.

Buy a Rolex and take it to a Rolex authorized dealer to be sized correctly. They do it for free. Problem solved.

Every jewelry store will adjust a watch band for you. If they charge you for it, they suck and you should never go back. Most jewelry stores do that kind of stuff for free so that you'll be more likely to go to their store next time you're buying jewelry.

I went to the place on Main street and they charged me $5. I didn't mind.

You could have almost got a whole new watch at Wal-Mart for that much. And it would have had a timer, alarm, and light, and been waterproof to 20 meters.
