Hi People. I like my watches to be interesting with all the dials and whizzy things on it, and as such got Tag Aquaracer, Breitling Colt, that sort of thing. Now I'm not a 'name' buyer per say so just wondering what you all thought of this piece? Seems quite good value for money, different.

Cheers, Bags.

Personally it's not my thing..but an eco-drive certainly is. I have an eco-drive AP0600 and it's been incredibly reliable, possibly the most robust and accurate watch I've ever had. If you like the look, go for it.

I have one of those in my collection and think it's the dog's doo-dahs. I've had it about three years. My favourite feature is that the second hand stops if in the dark for a while (to save power) and then zooms round to where it should be when you put it in light.

Takes alittle while ot set the perpetual calender up.

Don'r forget to get a discount.

Never pay list price in a high street jeweller.

Ask for a discount, 10% min. should be available.

List was £249 when I got mine, paid about £220 for it, that was H. Samuel too.

The Citizen Skyhawk always got a smile from me. Not really for me but if someone wants a watch that does pretty much everything plus some interesting electronic tech then this is one I would say to take a look at.

So take a look:

Right, well I've ordered it, Amazon. £219.00. Beats H Samuel by £85.00. Nice.
