Looks pretty good to me. Beer-fuelled buys are the best.

Pros:

Nicely finished
Second-hand hits the indices bang on
Decent leather strap with engraved clasp
Very legible
Light

Cons:

A bit slabby; the lugs could curve down a bit more
No screw down crown (WR 100m)

That's really nice, especially at that price, love the black and white two tone!!!!

Looks a steal for £30. Great buy

Well I've received something from China, the package describes it as a watch band but no idea what it actually is!




So one dh gate order delivered to a wrong address, one delivered a wrong item and no idea on the third!

Looks like a credit card charge back will be happening an dhgate placed on the 'never again' list

It's too big to be a head band and not big enough to use as a corset to hold my gut in so I have absolutely no idea what it's meant to be!

Nice watch, seems we shop at the same web site!

Got some hands and a dial coming for a Bliger black PVD case from DLW.

Interested to know what the quality is like, the Bliger case is a bit meh to be honest.

Will post when assembled

If you have been following my posts you know I lost a lot of watches to some thieving bds

This is the last of the stolen watches, but I managed to replace it for £25 nos

Bought for my 21st birthday by my parents for about £60.

I love the Art Deco look, everything else is pretty ordinary.

Indeed, I love DLW parts, really high quality and excellent service.

The Bliger cases are ok, I’ve so far paid £15 and £27 for the two I’ve modded. At that price point I can’t complain really.

It's the only watch I've replaced like for like, it's beautifully small and thin and goes under a shirt cuff perfectly.

Right then, as you're all aware I've, mostly, been on a buying sabbatical for a while, it's my 50th next month and I've been perusing some new watches, I'm a big fan of Bulova owning two already, but I've found this and rather like it, it's over budget at £345 but it is for my 50th and it's the first watch I've seen for a while that really jumps out at me, what are people's thoughts??

[blingybongy]

Do it.
It looks mint on that mesh strap.

I haven't got a significant bday for a couple of years but this Corona ste has got me thinking.
I have some money, rainy day, oh st money that I've stashed over the years it makes me comfortable knowing it's there.
It's not a fortune but I could keep the mortgage paid for a year or so.
Any road. I have always wanted an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra.
Should I buy one?
I probably will, a nice 2nd hand will be about 3k.
