Done it again; came back from the pub, started to search and ended up buying another watch.

Will I live to regret it? Will I still be married in the morning?

I'll let you know when it arrives; may have to sell something else to make space in the bedroom drawer!

£60 is hardly divorce territory, but you may yet regret buying that watch. I think I would

I'd divorce him for buying that. Not fussed about spending £60, it's what he bought that'd have the papers shoved under his nose in a flash.

OP, you've some serious grovelling to do in the morning!
Presumably if we don't hear from you, we'll hear about your disappearance on the news.

OMG.

Just looked at it in the cold light of day.

OMG.

Red wine has a lot to answer for; haven't confessed to SWMBO yet...

It's similar to a proper Amphibia(n).

Except the Amphibia is nice......

I think I could draw better pictures on a ZX spectrum - looks £20 worth.

I bought an Amphibia a couple of years ago from that site. Got it on a rubber strap now and it's a great knocking about/holiday watch. There's no finesse to them, but I have the feeling it will work forever and not cost me a bean. Think of it as the wristwatch equivalent of a T-34 and you're about there. You're wife will love it I'm sure (maybe after Vodka).

if it was me I would remove this whole post.....that is the most awful watch I have ever seen !! you must have been smashed when you ordered it !

Time to go for Damage limitation.

Time to dust off the old...

[littleredrooster]

Well - a couple of days after receiving it and it's actually not bad. ...Relatively...

Quite small (suits my tiny wrist), good weight, nice 'feel' and finish, and has gained about 8 seconds in 48 hours. Lume is mediocre, crown feels a bit flimsy when unscrewed, but hey-ho, it's a cheap beater and I can read it without me glasses!

Just ordered a rubber deployment strap for it 'cos I came back from the pub and felt the need to buy something. You've heard the story before...

Right: It's up for sale 'cos I have my eye on something else.

Before it goes on Eblag and Gumtree, anyone here want it? Almost as new, slight scuff to crystal at 12 o'clock but barely noticeable. Other than that, like new - keeps remarkably good time. Nice bit of Russian history...

Just to let you know the link says the watch isn't available at the moment!
