Perhaps it's because it's dreary outside and I've become a bit disillusioned with the day, but whilst aimlessly ambling through the web this afternoon, I stumbled across...



What with my usual tipple being Rolex or Omega, I thought 120 notes seemed remarkably cheap for something that appears to be quite classic and wearable as a 'weekend slobber'?!?

Am I alone in thinking this, or has the weather really taken hold of my senses and blinded them? rolleyes

That is rather nice. Where did you find it?

It came up as a 'What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?' suggestion whilst I was meandering through Amazon.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005MKGR00/ref=...

Stainless Steel, 43mm, classic military looks... I think I might take a punt and get one. smile

Even cheaper, if quite a bit smaller

TBH, take the Seiko badge off that and I think it looks like a £5 watch, whereas if you take the Citizen badge off, it looks like something that is worth a hell of a lot more.

I went to order the white faced canvas this morning and spotted they also do it with a black face and a choice of leather straps:




Think I might got for one of those (erring towards the black strap) as well as the white faced canvas strap! I can lay my GMT II and DateJust II up for a bit and see how I get on with these. Just over 200 notes for a couple of decent quality watches, can't be bad?!? smile

I bought an Orient skeleton watch from
Creation watches for £120 a couple of months ago... Lovely automatic watch, nice little power meter glass backed which keeps the kids amused.

Long time lurker, but seeing as this thread and the G shock one cost me close to £200 last night I thought I should join up!

I think that Seiko linked to above is an bargain at the price. OK it looks cheaper than the Citizen but it is an auto, with a display back. Well worth £60 of anyone's money. If I hadn't been similarly tempted by a G shock I would have been ordering that Citizen as well! Very handsome and again you can't go wrong for the price.
