PM sent, though who knows whether you'll have received it biggrin
It's yours. Will post it tomorrow
Thank you very much to the Lord; I'm wearing it now. It was only when it arrived that I had the worrying thought... That colour is going to disappear on my wrist. Thankfully not the case. I do think a different strap will set it off perfectly but the faux-NATO is actually incredibly comfy.

Stupidly I've just bought a SARB017 using the eBay code tonight as well, saving exactly the £50 this thread is about. It's not going to be value in comparison.

It's probably worth £16. If it lasts a year, you should be pleased with yourself.

I keep meaning to do a long-term test of one of these chinese automatics but I get bored of wearing the same watch more than a couple of days in a row.

Solar G-Shock, not got a white watch, might be a bit too garish?

Looks good but I've decided not to. Have a few other things to buy this month including a new vacuum, bathroom floor being done on Tuesday and possibly a new clutch for the car so things like watches ought to wait...

Also I bought myself a Huawei Smart Watch last month!

Zeiger do a mad looking Panerai-esque chrono type of thing as well, for only £18, eBay item no. 311584450356. I know it's China, but I still don't know how they can make an automatic for that sort of money.

On the plus side, it's quartz so it should still work for a while.
