Allwight fellow drinkers !!


Does this look any good? I don't know a lot about watches other than there's a massive markup and this is quite a saving.

can you link to an image?

I used to see ads for zeitner watches in magazines that looked fantastic and were 100 quid instead of 500.

Not much about them on the web, nobody knew much about them, so I just assumed they were 100 quid watches that had at one time been sold with a huge markup...

They're OK, but the "savings" isn't really that - in fact their watches would make a profit if sold at £50...

It's a bit like doing an advert for a "reduced" Ford Fester, down from £24,995 to £14,995... you've "saved" ten grand there, haven't you?

I had one a few years ago when I was a young 'un.

I loved mine. It's not the one on that site (they don't have the one I got), but it worked flawlessly and looked IMHO great. One of the good things I thought was that it wasn't trying to look like another watch. There are so many Seiko/Accurist/Timex/whatever that cost around the £100 mark that are blatent Rolex/Tag/Breitling clones.

I'd still be wearing mine, but I used to wear it everyday and once got some nasty stuff spilled on it and it made the strap (leather) go funny. Put it aside with the intention of getting a new strap, but it went missing during the move home from Uni.
