Ah, a good old geniune Orkina.
You simply ignore the first 3 letters and put Ch instead. Not sure it's a plus to have no name on the watch, but you've been ripped off!
Good news. It won't take 6 weeks (well, it might do at this time of year) 3-4 max usually, sometimes just a fortnight. It will certainly last far longer than 3 days and won't fall apart, unless you're really unlucky (little to go wrong with basic quartz watches, except the battery! LOL).
But just think... sit down first... you could have had THREE of these (link below) for almost what you paid for that 1 Orkina.
AND ...these have a date calendar too - they do work believe it or not, but naturally 31 days each month, so a bit of apull the crown out some months.
And granted, it's just the black one that's 1.99, the others cost a whopping 60p each more.

Aaaah but, there's no logo on the face of the expensive one I bought You simply ignore the first 3 letters and put Ch instead. Not sure it's a plus to have no name on the watch, but you've been ripped off!

I have since redeemed myself & bough two even cheaper watches from eBay...
The Orkina came on Saturday, & I've had a cold since, so it's either a coincidence, or I have bird flu!
The strap's a bit gnarly so I might get a new strap & pins... or just buy another when I lose it.
I just happened to be taking photos of the plug recently I recently found out it's the predecessor to the famous MK Safety Plug.

I might see how many other threads I can sneak it in.

Coincidentally I've actually just bought these, delivered, for £2.89 each.

Once they're here I'll let you know the quality. I'm not expecting much, but if I get a month out of each it'll have been worth it.

Out of curiousity I bought one of these. It's surprisingly not bad! Thought these looked ok for less than £50:
