I have this watch since 2006 and I am the second replacement of "bridges" in very fragile gray plastic. 6 months waiting for these bridges after sending the watch to Nikken FRANCE (I asked to change the DEFECTIVE bridge and add another me in case.) Back of the watch with the two bridges but changed no third, for against the bill is half the price of the watch (thank you Nikken) .when the steel box says it is necessary! the parts between strap (jumper in soft gray plastic) and dial (painted color plastic steel for use becomes yellow). Otherwise very good watch that was what I expected (very readable dial with date time day in constant display and solar power supply (no battery replacement.) So I'll take another considering the price (44 to 55 euros).
