My good lady has taken a liking to the white ceramic Chanel J12 watches.

However she doesn't really wear watches on a regular basis and I fear it will be nothing more than a temporary fashion bangle - with this in mind I'm looking for something similar for a lot less money. She already has an Omega collecting dust and I don't want another "fancy" watch going to waste.

Has anyone seen anything that has the same design as the Chanel but for a lot less, like £100 or so?

The Toywatch Plasteramic seems like an obvious choice but it looks really cheap and nasty, more £10 to my eyes:

It's lacking the shine that the Chanel has and generally looks a bit poo IMO.

Any other suggestions for something more Chanel and a bit less Lego?

I'll take another look at the Toy, maybe the lighting in the shop let it down - cheers.

Thanks for the heads up on the Storm, that fits the bill nicely.
