Sounds just like this place - they have a 2 year warranty on the watch, not factory, but they'll do the work. They apparently have been on the net for a while, and claim that they have lots of satisfied customers - even tell you to check the BBB in their area for complaints.

Sacrificing the wife, I know, I know. ;-)
