I must say that i think it's worth every penny, I know I'm biased as it's the watch I went specifically after, wore it in to work today and a lot of the guys were thinking around the £300 Mark, I disagree with the comment about the bracelet I think it's plenty chunky enough and is very good quality it's certainly as good as the bracelet on my Citizen. Watchshop show stock at £192 and as I said there's a 10% off code too.
Thought I'd post a pic of my collection as it is now.

Bobberoo....What a watch! That is a real beauty! ??????
t and get on and buy it!!" 
The vintage Boctok Amphibia arrived from Estonia today. £34!. Very pleased with it. I like the look and it runs well. The bezel is stuck and the plexi glass need some scratches polished out but its in good nick. i think it dates from the seventies. An interesting fact is that the case back is not screw down but bayonet fitting. This means that as the water pressure increases then the more the case back is forced against the seal. It was originally rated to 200 m. Quite impressive for a watch of its era. Will have a go at removing the bezel but its awkward as it sits in a groove. Surprised to find there is an inscription on the case back. Possibly refers to the original owners 40th birthday present. Don't know. I guess he is either hanging on by his teeth or dead now. Mixed feelings about this but it certainly adds some history to it.
And as this seems to be turning into an injuries thread, heres a pic of me after I ran into the garage door. Gorilla tape is exellent for stopping the blood making a mess!.

The door was open at the time and is just about head height and, and, well, I was in a hurry. Got bugger all sympathy from the wife though! Just as well I wasn't wearing a new watch that she didn't know about at the time. Otherwise I'd have been in real trouble.
Anyway. I'm thinking about sticking it on a mesh bracelet. Not everyone's cup of tea. Not easy finding an 18mm one to fit my wrist. Most of this width are for "ladies".

Same for the mesh ones, they just look wrong on my wrist for some reason, but then bright/loud coloured watches look wrong on my wrist too!!!CharlesdeGaulle said:

.... You're absolutely right old chap. There's no way that green Seiko is going to work for you so you might as well pop it in the post to someone who can carry it off!
10/10 for persistence old chap!!!
