Ref the Invicta divers, above. I've seen a few Invicta watches scattered about, are they any good? I've got a trusty 5 for daily but would like a toughie for kayaking etc. A Seiko diver or a Monster would be great (Red Monster would make me a little stiff) but they're £200+, and probably a bit too much for something that will get chucked in the bag at the end of every trip and left to rot until the next journey. What say ye?

Dead on £50, swapped the nasty bracelet for a leather strap though.

Makes it difficult to see how you could drop almost £3k on a Pelagos!

[Janesy B]

Or 5k on a Sub if we're going down that road.

Cheap knockabout watch Ahoy!

Was looking for something bright and couldn't really spot anything I liked. Spotted this for a bargainacious 20 odd quid.

I like that.

Have you got a model number or a link?

Sadly I've betrayed everyone and got a £100 Pebble last month, which is now my favourite watch Didn't think there are any alternatives for under 50 short of going for a tatty second hand Pebble?

Although I'm wearing my original Seiko 5 today if that helps

Seiko SNKL07 from 'watchwarehouse' on ebay plus http://www.thestrapshop.co.uk/pages/lwb/elitePop/A...

Beat this for £26. (closer to £35 after tax etc).



Was ordering an SKX009 from a Japanese seller on Rakuten and had a look at what else they had and this was listed for 4704 yen so it went in the cart.

Currently £49.99 at Argos (Home of the Laminated book of Dreams!)

G-Shock by Casio Men's Black Combi Watch.

Have to be honest and say I've never heard of Holuns, but I do like blue hands/numbers look great with a bit of lights on them

Anything with SNK in the name is cool. "The future is now"!
