i had to get a watched cleaned and tuned up. all this time, i was told that some unscrupulous watch shop had switched out the bracelet and substituted some fake one. it worried me. i picked the local shop i wanted to use, and called ahead. i told him i was unsure of the bracelet's real story. i imagined him showing me the door. it all turned out well, when he said the bracelet was legit. phew! i dont know why my stepdad thought it was bogus. never asked him.
