Look on the £50 thread. They're not bad for the price (you get a free magazine!) but they are not genuine army watches. They're based on army watch designs. If you want a genuine one, go here: http://www.silvermans.co.uk/tabid/63/dep/cat/SKU/0...
Stop beings snobs you lot, just because you can afford a Patek Philippe does not mean that you always have to wear one or that wearing anything else is somehow below you and you feel the need to belittle someone for doing so, my father and I have both been buying these magazines, the watches are more of an interest in terms of the design of the originals they are based upon and in fact there is something quite amusing about wearing a watch that came on the front of a £10 magazine, no they are not great quality but that's not the point, it's a bit of fun for very little expense and the SBS sub homage on this edition fits my 8 year old son perfectly and looks good on him, and my dad likes his too.
Relax and remember life is for enjoying, and before you ask, yes I can afford a Patek if I wanted one.

[...]it was pointed out they are cheap Chinese crap. That is an irrefutable fact, not snobbishness
Except that they have Japanese movements which means, as a minimum standard, Hattori PC21 which has been used by Seiko Corp in Lorus watches retailing at £25 - £40 or so over the years. It's reliable, good battery life, and cheap / easy to source and replace if needed.They may even use Miyota 2035 - all metal, fully repairable, originally developed for full-price Citizens then sidelined over the years into budget brands at a price that makes repair pointless. Probably the most successful watch movement ever with well over a billion units produced.
So -
Cheap? Yes, but does anyone really expect a £10 magazine to have a watch genuinely worth more than the cover price attached?
Crap? Depends entirely how you define it but, given how reliable and successful they are, the only valid reason for calling the PC21 or 2035 crap without qualifying the comment is snob value.

Nobody was going ask. Nobody cares.This is a watch forum, OP asked about the watches, it was pointed out they are cheap Chinese crap. That is an irrefutable fact, not snobbishness
Is the Italian Diver's edition out yet?

ks ......the guy obviously is promoting the product ......and if your father and yourself have been buying the magazine well .....jolly well doneAre you under 14 ?
Get a fking grip, it's £6! SIX POUNDS!
You buy it, taunt people by asking them what they think you paid for it (from 10 feet away) have a smile to yourself about it and if and when it breaks you can shoot it!
Until then it cost £6, think it's crap? Know it's crap? So don't buy one!
May as well trawl all threads for super cheap stuff that you'd NEVER consider buying and say it's all crap for the sake of it!
