I bought two watches directly from Original Grain and I also own two more that I got on eBay..I got the Toyota TRD red watch not a fan of that automatic movement the other was the Golden State Warriors watch with a Swiss movement… I also own the Grainmaster which has a Swiss automatic movement and at one time owned two quartz movement watches from Original Grain.. When you decide to purchase a watch from Original Grain do your research on the watch that you have interest in… I stay away from quartz movements because of the price of battery replacement and I would believe that those movements are not Swiss at all….Be very choosy about what type of movement the watch has..Read the specs on the watches…Right now I do not see any Swiss movement watches on their website and believe me I get tons of emails and texts and I do check from time to time…So far as far as the automatic watches I don’t have any issues so far my main concern is that there’s a big possibility of the wood inserts and bezel coming off…My favorite is the Grainmaster automatic movement,Swiss and the wood inserts look like they can withstand minor “hits” and to my opinion that watch is well overbuilt…And that’s coming from a watch collector like me who owned many Rolexes and Omega watches…I prefer automatic movements and this company should consider using more ETA Swiss movements on their watches…Nowadays it pays to read all the specs of any watches that you might consider…Never had any shipping situations with this company but look carefully at the specifications of the watches you’re considering…I have a small wrist so I never had any issues with obtaining more links usually there’s two extra links and I don’t need them so I keep it in the boxes..I’m still up in the air with the TRD watch.While the movement looks nice I’m not sure it will hold up as well as a Swiss movement….I keep all my automatic watches on a winder to keep them running smooth…I’m not sure how the gold plating would hold up after constant wear….I would never buy a “surprise” sale rather know what I’m buying I did that with another watch company as I wanted that company to be successful like this company and was totally disappointed…Right now I own two Original Grain watch’s both automatics sold the Golden state watch (Knicks fan) So do your research read the specifications and hopefully one would be satisfied with the watches…The metal bands to my opinion on some of the models are way overbuilt for the price in fact I bought a nonfunctional watch by Original Grain just for the band..So far due to the quality of some of the models of watch I’m compelled to give a 3 star rating….Thanks for stopping by..
