I need a new watch as my old one is letting water in and I've had it a while?

I don't want anything expensive as I generally don't take them off which means it'll be worn when working on the car, carrying bricks, it will take a punishment so I don't want anything expensive.

I quite like the look of the Siko aerospace in blue. Now there's quite a few on ebay from established sellers, from singapore, now this screams fake to me but the feedback seems to be good and I have bought a fair amount of cheap stuff from the far east on eBay with less hassle than most UK sellers!

Any way of telling whether I'd be buying a lemon?

It's a Japanese brand so they should be made around those parts anyway. I'm assuming they're fakes unless anyone suggests otherwise.

If you google the seller, the seem to have an excellent reputation...

As for thinking only Pikeys use eBay, that just makes you a mug for paying over the odds elsewhere, or not achieving the best price when you sell something.
