Talk me out of one of these.

[TheAngryDog]

I saw one of these in a shop window yesterday and the want is strong.

Someone tell me it's rubbish, please lol

Horrible combination of colours.
The strap will be cheap and nasty.


That do?

I saw one of these in a jewellers in Cardiff and fell a little bit in love with it. With an anniversary coming up soon, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.... It looks better in real life than in that picture. And it's a Seiko...can't go wrong really.

You are not meant to be encouraging the op

Shoddy workmanship, they’ve even spelt “Tachometer” wrong......

It looks like one of those chav aftermarket wheels with a red rim

Behave. Now I want one...

Maybe this helps....

They are a pukka supplier,but factor in customs duty as outside the EU. Delivery is 2-3 days max.

I’ve used them many times, no problems.

PS Im tempted myself!

Cheers guys.

The watch is currently £210 in John Lewis, so I'd go there rather than to Creation as it will work out much cheaper.

You want us to talk you out of buying a watch?
Hmmn,
Either you are being sarcastic & are seeking affirmation, or you've a humdinger of a delusional view of what this forum is.

The only time I'd try to talk someone out of a watch is when they're prioritising it over life's essentials (eating, a roof etc.)

[Brads67]

Well it's not quite in Richard Mille ugliness territory, but it's not exactly handsome.

Fare enough I’d agree with that!

[TheAngryDog]

Went to buy one today, but John Lewis wouldn't price match a place I have found the watch for £195, so looks like I will be ordering from there.

It is far too busy! Eight different colours on the face is too much!

But it won't be rubbish, it's a Seiko and they are always good value for what they cost.

Looks like some 6 year old kids ‘colour by numbers’ watch.

... where they got the colours wrong

Hideous.

[AJB88]

Reminds me of the "my first watch" you used to get as a kid with the red and blue strap.

[hungry_hog]

I like Seiko but that dial is a mess

look at the fonts, there must be 4/5 different fonts being used. Even the fonts of the sub dials are different!

As mentioned the colours are clashing, you have red and then that weird orange-red.

Just looks really incoherent and unfinished to me. I know it's a cheapish watch but something like the SKX007 or Sportura is so much nicer

Pretty much this and I like Seiko and own a kinetic diver.
