Introducing the Watch Report Forums

The PackagingWe've started paying closer attention to packaging recently on Watch Report because we've come to believe that it's an extremely important aspect of the experience of buying and owning a watch. Revealing your watch — especially one you've paid a decent amount of money for — should be a rewarding experience worth savoring.Whether you like the presentation of the MTM Black Seal will depend largely on your personality, and chances are, if you're interested in a watch like this, you'll love it. The packaging is tough, functional, practical, and very appropriate. The Black Seal comes in a watertight, airtight, dust-proof, and crush-resistant Seahorse model 120 case which most men will covet almost as much as the watch inside. Why should people have to bring their watches in to a jeweler to get adjusted? The hex screws make the bracelet easy to size, strong, and in my opinion, lend it a unique and tough look.And then there's the crown. The crown is big and textured to make it easy to grasp, and the threading of the crown and stem is precise which makes it very easy to release and reseal. This may seem like a given, but I've handled enough watches with difficult to manage screwdown crowns that I really appreciate when it's done right. Open the case, and you will find a foam block with the watch, tools, and appropriately sparse documentation (the instructions and warranty information fit on a single card) perfectly nestled within.
