The hand / arm looks like a prop as well..

Now now chaps, I don't want this to descend into the usual PH rubbish, it's for people to show case what they like/wear/can afford, It's one thing to say you don't like the watch but that's where it stops please.

And another Seiko diver, this time with a more solid bracelet and still under £200;

[Bobberoo99]

Hhhmmmm really do like these Seko divers, I know there are quite a few models too, I think for me It's going to be the old Pepsi style bezel when I finally get one!!

SKX009 or SRPA21?

The latter is probably my next purchase.
The SKX is better value but I've already got an SKX007

I really have to stop this. A 6319-5030 from 1975 for the grand total of £56. It's got a nice purple flash across the dial because of the faceted crystal.

That is in fabulous condition, and rather lovely to boot, eBay?

Thanks Bob! Yup, ebay and gin are a powerful combination. I'm going to have to uninstall it (ebay, not gin).

A 1950's Cyma Automatic - which was actually my Grandad's. A quick eBay scan shows it to be worth around £200.00. I wear it most days!

My Dad brought me that one back from BAs onboard shopping many years ago! I keep meaning to replace the strap with something that isn’t rubber as I don’t like the feel of it underneath a shirt but haven’t got round to it.

Also unfortunately the bottom pusher/button has come out, not sure how easy or cost effective a repair that would be

Unfortunately repair will be very expensive, if you can repair yourself it will be a lot cheaper, I quite like the rubber strap, but it's the only watch I have with that style of strap.

Yep sad to say that for what you can get a new one for thats not worth repairing . I have a few like that myself

[BRISTOL86]

Thanks guys.

I'm on my second one, first one was "purchased" using points from work, it died but I thought the battery had run out so took it to have a new battery fitted which is how I found out it had died, they wanted £55 for a new movement, found a new one on Amazon for £45 so bought that instead!!

[Bobberoo99]

Ooopppss!!!!

I think I may have spent this month's o/t already!!! Still in budget at £199 reduced to half price, I shall upload more when we get home!!!
