| Locating The Perfect Watch Bands |
|
|
I was shopping for groceries and a few toys for my children the other
day. I was about to go home when I ran into my sister. She was shopping
for watch bands that did not have any kind of metal on them. Her skin
is allergic to metals and breaks out in a rash that itches every time
she comes into contact with certain metals.
My sister tried leather
watch bands but the metal face of the watch still triggered her skin
allergy. I told her that since I was finished with my shopping, I would
be glad to help her.
We went through several jewelry stores, but we were unable to find watches that were completely metal free. It was lunch time so the both of us went to a restaurant in the mall for lunch.
While we were waiting for our food, I noticed that the woman in the booth next to us was showing her purchases to her husband. She had a box that held several different watchbands and watch faces. They were made of fabrics of different colors.
They were attached to the watch by running them under the back of the watch, so the fabric was between the skin and the back of the watch. She told us that she had bought the watch bands at one of the large department stores in the mall. The woman also told us that they were on clearance and there were several of them left.
We headed to the department store after we finished our lunch. They did have several of the boxes of watch bands left. Some of the bands were made from decorative fabrics, but there was also a leather band that came with the set.
The watch sat on top of the band so that the leather was between the skin and the metal. The bands can be adjusted by sliding the fabric or leather through a plastic buckle. The box held six different bands and watch faces.
My sister was interested in a box that had several bands but she did not like a watch face that had stones edging it. The clerk at that store informed us that my sister could create whatever combination of the faces and the bands. She told her to pick out six bands and watch faces she liked and then she placed them all in one box.
The clerk told us that it was the final day of the sale, so the rest of the boxes were going back to the manufacturer the next day. My sister was very lucky to end up with a great bargain of six watch bands at eighty percent off.
