.. and it's under 250 quid, therefore a bit too tempting to resist.

However I haven't fallen in love with the face on it, are there any alternatives in this price range ?

I doubt it, but if anyone has any suggestions.

I've just been accepted on TZUK, I guess it's linked with Timefactors ? I don't want to ask on there as I'll look a bit of a noob.

Thanks chaps.

Aye, I agree about Werners, there was something I couldn't put my finger on and you're right, it's all a bit 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. I wouldn't know if I had to wind the fecker or shovel coal into it.

I won an old clunker on the fleabay the other day :



....maybe I should wait for that to arrive before I go buying another watch.

Been away for the weekend, and just noticed this.

Not really me, but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks !

I think I'll be having one, unless there are any horror stories out there ...

I'm not bothered if it's totally Chinese, it's Chinese on the inside so why dress it up as a Swiss watch ?

I like this one :



... now I've seen it's 'smiley face' I can't unsee it !
