Bought me this yesterday for 40 notes off amazon. Not sure if its going to be a bit too in ya face for me but the price was too temting. Will make my mind up when it arrives. Just after a watch i can use every day which can take a beating, especially when on the bike.

    Don't normally wear a watch as I use my HTC for the time but as we aren't allowed to have our mobiles on in work I blew the budget and spent £6 on a cheapo from Argos and if I break it I won't be too worried.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    This was meant to be my 'nice' watch, but I wear it every day as I'm not allergic to it (I have a nickel allergy)

    A snowy white watch? That'll look lovely after collecting some crud. But at least then it'll look more butch.

    Some nice watches, Really Liking the redbull racing casio. That G shock i have waiting for stock in my amazon account, They reduced quite a few g shocks the other day and they all sold pretty quick. That one had come down to £33 :shock:

    Mine came today and must say it looks the muts nuts, comfortable to wear and obviously feels quality built being g shock.

    Thats why i bought this because it can take being covered in crud. Being "snowy" white, Hey it'll match my snowy white ZTR flow rims :mrgreen:
    As for looking "Butch", ill leave that to you and the lesbians :P

    I have the brown strap though.

    I recently thought it had broke but it goes into sleep mode when left un-moved for a prolonged period of time. Had me totally confused. :D

    These are a bit marmite in the watch lovers community, and I can't afford them, but do like them. Uboat watches in general not just this one. They are huge though.

    I have an omega sea master 300m automatic, not too in your face but defiantly has presence.

    and a citizen eco drive wr 200. for the money i don't think there's a watch out there to touch this one, I've had it for 5 years now, it's never stopped and has been accurate TO THE SECOND in all that time. it receives a radio signal every morning at 2 am and set's it's self to the correct time.

    Very nice collection, unless you bought them all for £20 whilst on a ladyboy holiday in Thailand.
