Rotary Watches - what can you tell me
Discussion
Okay, following MG511's post here I'm quite tempted by this.
My daily driver is a Seiko diver but I'm looking for something a bit smarter which won't break the bank. Has to be auto and I'm liking skeleton watches at the moment, so this seems to tick the boxes.
Can anyone enlighten me at all. Are they just badged up chinese tat or are they a bonafide Swiss watch without the usual price tag?

I bought this one from the same range in the Ernest Jones sale last summer. Paid £100 for it against retail of £375.
It's a big solid watch that is comfortable to wear. I like it as it is different but I don't know that I'd have paid full retail for it though, £375+ opens up lots of other opportunities, especially second hand.

I've ordered the rose gold version of that watch http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rotary-Editions-802C-Unise... I've got the despatch email from Amazon so I'll let you know what I think when it arrives. I've got various watches including an Omega Seamaster but that one looks a bit different, I'm looking forward to getting it.My daily driver is a Seiko diver but I'm looking for something a bit smarter which won't break the bank.

- the Editions range is a lot of watch at that price Got mine, very good service from Amazon, only ordered it yesterday afternoon. Looks and feels great, it's big at 38mm wide (exc crown) and 48mm high. Screw heads not as lined up as on the picture but that's no problem for me. Seems a very good watch for the money, I'll report back on it's acuracy.
That's pretty impressive service from Amazon. I never seem to have good luck when ordering from them, despite living about 5 mins from the distribution centre.
You'll have to let me know how the rose gold version looks in the flesh. I like the idea of it (very Richard Mille) but the only images I could find on the web didn't exactly cover it in glory.

I'd love a Richard Mille but would never be able to afford one, it was the 'Richard Mille look' that attracted me to this watch. It looks much better 'in the flesh' than any picture I've seen on the net, seems very well made, nice stap, looks much bigger than the photos suggest (I've no idea why Amazon list it as unisex, I'm 6'1" and 17 stone and it looks big on my wrist). I'm very impressed and at £139 it seems a real bargain.
