FAQ:
QUESTION: WHAT IS A KRYPTOLITE™ DIAL? ANSWER: NO. TRITIUM TUBES ARE DERIVED FROM NUCLEAR WASTE AND NEED NO LIGHT ACTIVATION AND ARE OVERSEEN BY THE NRC. (NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION). THEY ARE SAFE AND HAVE A HALF LIFE OF 12 1/2 YEARS, MEANING THAT TRITIUM DETERIORATES FROM THE DAY IT IS PROCESSED AND WILL BE HALF AS BRIGHT AS THE FIRST DAY IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 12 1/2 YEARS. A KRYPTOLITE™ DIAL HOWEVER, USES LUMINOUS PAINT ON THE DIAL THAT IS SAFE AND DOES NOT DETERIORATE WITH TIME. KRYPTOLITE™ REQUIRES LIGHT ACTIVATION TO EXCITE THE PHOSPHOROUS MARKERS. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES OF SUNLIGHT WILL FULLY ACTIVATE THE HIGHLY LUMINOUS NIGHT VISION DIAL. SUNLIGHT SUPPLIES APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES MORE ENERGY TO A DIAL THAN INDOOR LIGHTING. QUESTION: WHY DO YOU PUT KRYPTON GAS INTO THE WATCH? ANSWER: A PROBLEM THAT ARISES FROM TIME TO TIME IN ALL WATCHES, FROM ALL BRANDS IS THE PROBLEM OF CONDENSATION FORMING ON THE INSIDE OF THE WATCH CASE, USUALLY SEEN AS FOGGING OR WATER DROPLETS APPEARING UNDER THE GLASS CRYSTAL. SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THEIR WATER RESISTANT WATCH HAS FAILED, BUT IN REALITY WHAT USUALLY HAS HAPPENED IS THAT THE WATCH WAS TAKEN FROM A HOT TO COLD OR FROM COLD TO HOT ENVIRONMENT QUICKLY. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAPPEN, BUT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES ARE FAST, PHYSICS TAKES OVER. EXAMPLE: YOU'RE ON VACATION IN A HOT CLIMATE AND AT THE POOL AND IT'S 100 DEGREES AND YOU DECIDE TO TAKE A PLUNGE IN THE COLD POOL. THAT QUICK CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE CAN CAUSE THE MOIST AIR INSIDE OF THE WATCH TO CONDENSATE. UNLESS THE MOISTURE INSIDE THE WATCH IS REMOVED WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE MOVEMENT CAN RUST. THE OPERATORS WHO PURCHASE OUR WATCHES OPERATE IN EXTREME CONDITIONS SUCH AS THE MOUNTAINS OF AFGHANISTAN OR THE JUNGLES OF S.E. ASIA. THEY EXPERIENCE FAST TEMPERATURE CHANGES, ESPECIALLY WHEN PARACHUTING INTO THE TYPES OF AREAS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE INTRODUCTION OF KRYPTON GAS TO THE WATCH CASE DURING THE WATCH ASSEMBLY PROCESS REMOVES ALL MOISTURE FROM THE INSIDE OF THE WATCH CASE THUS REDUCING THE CHANCES OF CONDENSATION FORMING. QUESTION: WHY DON'T OTHER COMPANIES USE KRYPTON GAS? ANSWER: PRICE. A TANK OF ARGON GAS IS APPROXIMATELY $180 AND KRYPTON GAS $6500... 30 TIMES THE COST. THE ANSWER IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE. QUESTION: WHY USE d3o AROUND THE MOVEMENT? ANSWER: IT WAS SPECIFIED BY THE ROGUE WARRIOR THAT DUE TO THE EXTERNAL FORCES EXERTED IN HAND TO HAND COMBAT OR VIBRATION CAUSED BY BALLISTIC WEAPONS, THE MOVEMENT SHOULD BE PROTECTED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. TESTS SHOWED THAT THE EMPTY SPACE BETWEEN THE MOVEMENT AND BACK CASE COVER ACTS SOMEWHAT LIKE AN ECHO CHAMBER AND PRODUCES A TINY SHOCK WAVE UPON IMPACT. RW. WATCHES WERE GRANTED THE RIGHTS TO PUT d3o INTO THEIR WATCHES. d3o WAS ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED AS A PROTECTION MATERIAL FOR THE BRITISH ARMY . (SEE d3o VIDEO ON HOME PAGE OR GO TO www.d3o.com). QUESTION: WHY DO YOU USE MINERAL CRYSTALS AND NOT SAPPHIRE? ANSWER: SAPPHIRE CRYSTALS ARE SUPERIOR WHEN IT COMES TO SCRATCH RESISTANCE. MINERAL CRYSTALS ARE TOUGHER THAN SAPPHIRE BUT ARE MORE PRONE TO SCRATCHING. WHEN BANGING SOMEONE OVER THE HEAD, THE OPERATORS WHO PURCHASE OUR WATCHES WOULD RATHER HAVE A SCRATCHED CRYSTAL THAN A SHATTERED CRYSTAL. (CRYSTALS ARE ONLY GLASS). THAT'S WHY WE USE A 4mm THICK CRYSTAL AS OPPOSED TO THE STANDARD 2mm. THIS IS ALSO TRUE OF THE 2 STAINLESS STEEL CRYSTAL PROTECTORS. THE TOP SIDE OF THE CRYSTALS ARE SAPPHIRE COATED AND ANTI GLARE TREATED ON THE INSIDE. WHAT RESULTS IS THE TOUGHNESS OF A MINERAL CRYSTAL AND THE SCRATCH RESISTANCE OF SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL. QUESTION: I SEE YOU USE JAPANESE MOVEMENTS AND NOT SWISS. ANY REASON FOR THIS BESIDES PRICE? ANSWER: IF YOU WANT A CUCKOO CLOCK GO SWISS, IF YOU WANT ELECTRONICS GO JAPANESE. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. DO YOU HAVE A SWISS TV OR A SWISS CAR? . WE LOOK FOR RELIABILITY AND SHOULD A WATCH REQUIRE SERVICE, WE WANT THE USER TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THEIR LOCAL WATCH REPAIR MAN, RATHER THAN HAVE TO PAY $250 JUST TO HAVE SOMEONE OPEN THE BACK CASE, TAKE A LOOK AND GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE. QUESTION. WHAT IS THE BATTERY LIFE? ANSWER: 3 + YEARS QUESTION: CAN MY LOCAL REPAIR MAN CHANGE THE BATTERY? ANSWER: YES. YOUR LOCAL GOOD SERVICE MAN CAN CHANGE THE BATTERY. HOWEVER OPENING THE BACK CASE COVER WILL RELEASE THE KRYPTON GAS INSIDE. (NOT A PROBLEM) 1% OF THE EARTH'S AIR CONTAINS KRYPTON. IF THE KRYPTON GAS IS NOT REPLACED, THEN YOUR WATCH WILL FUNCTION JUST LIKE ANY OTHER WATCH. THE DIAL WOULD STILL GLOW, ETC. ROGUE WARRIOR WATCH CO. WILL REPLACE THE FIRST BATTERY AT NO CHARGE AND THE KRYPTON GAS WILL BE REPLACED FOR A COST OF $25 U.S. THE CUSTOMER ONLY NEEDS TO RETURN THE WATCH TO US AND INCLUDE A $25 CHECK. WE WILL PAY THE RETURN SHIPPING. FOR CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE OF THE USA, THE CHARGE WILL BE $45. QUESTION: CAN I CHANGE THE BAND MYSELF? ANSWER: YOU CAN, BUT WE DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.THE BANDS ARE CONSTRUCTED TO STRINGENT TOLERANCES AS FAR AS FIT AND ARE NOT EASY TO REMOVE. THIS IS DONE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. WE SUGGEST THAT YOU CHOOSE THE BAND THAT FITS THE MISSION. IF YOU MUST BE ABLE TO INTERCHANGE YOUR BAND, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU TAKE IT TO A REPUTABLE SERVICE REPAIR PERSON. NOTE: THE BACK OF THE AVENGER AND RED CELL MODELS HAVE SCREW OFF BACKS. THE DIRECTION TO UNSCREW IS INDICATED ON THE CASE BACKS. NEVER UNSCREW THE NUTS ON THE BACK CASE COVERS. QUESTION: MY METAL BAND OPEN IN 2 PLACES, WHY? ANSWER: THE BAND COMES WITH A DIVERS' EXTENSION FOR USE OVER A WETSUIT. QUESTION: THE WEBSITE SAYS A LIMITED 1 YEAR WARRANTY. WHAT DOES THIS COVER? ANSWER: EVERTHING ON THE INSIDE IS COVERED FOR ONE YEAR AT NO CHARGE. SHOULD YOU REQUIRE SERVICE WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR, YOU WOULD NEED TO RETURN THE WATCH TO US WITH A CHECK FOR $14 TO COVER S/H. ALWAYS PACKAGE YOUR WATCH WELL WHEN RETURNING. IF YOU SCRATCH YOUR WATCH, AND BELIEVE US, THE GUYS WE SELL TO DO MORE THAN SCRATCH THEIR WATCHES, YOUR WATCH IS NOT WARRANTED AGAINST SCRATCHES. PLEASE WASH OFF ALL BODILY FLUIDS BEFORE SHIPPING... YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM IRAQ. IF YOUR WATCH REQUIRES SERVICE AFTER THE FIRST YEAR, SEND US YOUR WATCH STATING THE PROBLEM. WE WILL GET IT BACK TO YOU WITHIN 10 DAYS WITH A REPAIR ESTIMATE. QUESTION. WHAT IF I GET MY WATCH AND I DON'T LIKE IT? ANSWER: FIRST OF ALL THE WATCHES ARE NOT MASSIVE, BUT THEY ARE LARGE, AVERAGING 44mm WIDE .. NOT INCLUDING THE 3mm CROWN, AND BETWEEN 15mm AND 18mm THICK. THESE ARE BEEFY WATCHES. THEY ARE FOR MEN NOT BOY SCOUTS. SO DON'T ORDER ONE IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A FANCY FASHION WATCH THAT'S NICE AND SLIM... TO GO WITH YOUR ARMANI SUIT. IF YOU GET IT AND YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN SEND IT BACK TO US IMMEDIATELY FOR A FULL WATCH REFUND. NOTE: NO SHIPPING REFUND. BE SURE TO RETURN THE WATCH IN THE SAME CONDITION THAT IT ARRIVED WITH ALL PLASTIC PROTECTION COVERS ... IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN WORN. ANY SIGN OF WEAR WILL VOID THE RETURN POLICY. ALL WATCHES SENT ARE DIGITALLY PHOTOGRAPHED/SCANNED BEFORE LEAVING THE WAREHOUSE SO WE CAN ATTEST TO ITS CONDITION AS IT LEAVES THE WAREHOUSE. THIS IS DONE FOR YOUR AND OUR PROTECTION. IN OTHER WORDS, TREAT IT LIKE A KID GLOVE. I'VE YET TO HAVE SOMEONE SAY THEY JUST DON'T LIKE IT, BUT SOMEDAY IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN... AND THIS ANSWER IS FOR THAT PERSON. THERE IS AN 18 DAY WINDOW IN WHICH WE ALLOW A WATCH TO BE RETURNED... FROM THE DAY IT LEAVES OUR WAREHOUSE. QUESTION: I CANNOT FIND A DEALER IN MY AREA. WHY? ANSWER: THE COMMANDER WAS CLEAR THAT THE WATCHES MUST BE AFFORDABLE AT A PRICE POINT THAT SERVICE MEN CAN AFFORD. IN ORDER TO DO THIS, WE HAVE OPTED MAINLY SELLING DIRECT TO THE END USER. THIS CUTS OUT THE MIDDLE MAN AND REDUCES THE COST TO YOU. HOWEVER, UNDER AGREEMENT WE HAVE ALLOWED CERTAIN RESELLERS IN CERTAIN AREAS EXCLUSIVITY IN THEIR AREA. QUESTION: DO YOU GIVE PRODUCT TO MILITARY OR LAW ENFORCEMT TEAMS FOR TESTING? ANSWER: WE GET MANY REQUESTS FROM INDIVIDUAL MILITARY UNITS ASKING IF WE CAN DONATE PRODUCTS ETC. IN THE PAST, WE HAVE DONE SO BUT WE WERE CONTACTED BY THE MILITARY AND ADVISED THAT NO PRODUCT CAN BE DONATED OVER THE VALUE OF $25 (MILITARY CODE). THERE IS A GOOD REASON FOR THIS. SO WE DECIDED TO CHOOSE CHARITIES THAT WE KNOW WILL DO THE JOB OF SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED. QUESTION: WHAT THE HELL IS W.G.M.A.T.A.T.S.? I'VE GOT A BOOK ON MILITARY INSIGNIAS, MOTTOS AND ABREVIATIONS, BUT I CANT FIND W.G.M.A.T.A.T.S. I'VE LOOKED EVERYWHERE. ANSWER: YOU HAVE HEARD OF TOP GUN, FIRST IN LAST OUT, TO DEFEND THE OPPRESSED. WELL, THE UNOFFICIAL MOTTO OF SEAL TEAM 6 WAS "WE GET MORE ASS THAN A TOILET SEAT". COMMANDER MARCINKO IS NOT CALLED THE ROGUE WARRIOR FOR NOTHING. QUESTION: HOW ARE YOUR WATCHES TESTED FOR WATER RESISTANCE ? ANSWER: ALL WATCHES ARE TESTED AT THE FACTORY IN SWISS WATER TESTING MACHINES. THE WATCHES THAT ARE 20 ATM ARE FITTED WITH DOUBLE GASKETS AND 0-RINGS. ALL CROWNS AND PUSHERS ARE THE SCREW DOWN TYPE AND NEED TO BE UNSCREWED BEFORE CHANGING THE TIME OR USING THE CHRONO FUNCTION. QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE ANY MODELS WITH SWISS AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS? ANSWER: NO. THE OPERATORS WE DESIGN FOR NEED TO KNOW THAT THEIR WATCH IS SHOWING THE CORRECT TIME. AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS, EVEN THE EXPENSIVE ONES, ARE KNOWN TO REQUIRE CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT AND CAN LOSE SEVERAL SECONDS A DAY. QUARTZ MOVEMENTS ARE ACCURATE TO (+ OR -) 15 SECONDS A MONTH. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THEY ARE ACCURATE TO 3 SECONDS (+ OR - ) RANGE A MONTH. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SEE THRU BACK, OR RUBIES, OR SPINNING WHEELS, THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU. ROGUE WARRIOR WATCH PHILOSOPHY. IF YOU THINK PUTTING LADIES UNDERWEAR ON THE HEAD OF A TERRORIST IS TORTURE, YOU DON'T REALLY NEED THIS WATCH. IF YOU THINK PLAYING LOUD ROCK MUSIC TO A TERRORIST IS TORTURE, YOU DEFINITELY DON'T NEED OUR WATCH. AND IF YOU THINK CLOSING GITMO IS A GREAT IDEA, THEN WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO SELL YOU A WATCH. |
