Rotary Editions - Sale

[Spice_Weasel]

Anyone in the market for one of these? http://www.rotarywatches.com/en/the-rotary-collect...

A jeweller near me has most of the models in the window and on sale for under £100. I am quite tempted to add one to the collection as they are automatic and Rotary has a 100 year plus history.

I'm tempted to go for a 602C (may be even in rose gold effect for a change) but am concerned I'm buying something that looks vaguely like another brand of watch and my £100 would be wasted as ultimately I would not wear it. I wear my G-Shock and $12 digital from Walmart (huge display so ideal for running) when the occasion requires so I'm not a brand snob (watches from Werners etc in the collection too) - I just don't know whether I would end up wearing it.

Does anyone have any experience of these? What's the quality like / How do they feel on etc?

I have 3 of these (801C, 802C, 201B) and the quality is good, though I agree the styling is rather derivative (ie copy). They come in very nice boxes and look and feel like they cost more that £100. However, two of mine gain about a minute a day (the other one is very accurate) and looking at the reviews they seem to be a bit variable as time keepers. I have 20+ watches so don't wear one every day, maybe if I did they'd keep better time. Amazon have a good range, see http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_15?url=... I bought all of mine on Amazon, all under £100, one was £64.
