Not sure about the green thou, there is another that's brown but not seen a black or white dial yet.

I got an Armani watch for £80 off ebay. Very very pleased with it.

Similar to that... and it's very blingy!



Just seen this post aswell...

yeah get one off ebay, there much much cheaper than buying them from the shops.

I got an armani watch off there that would have cost me close to 200 and I got it for around 90. There are loads of seikos on there, most of them look nice for a resonably priced watch

You have good taste, sir!

I got my Seiko about 2 years ago for about £95 I think it was...hasn't missed a beat, smart, subtle and keeps time accurately. Cant remember the designation....nearest I've found is the Seiko SND555P1, which looks exactly the same, but with a black face. Mine has a blue face with white dials.

metal straps catch all the hairs on your arms so this might be a problem also changing the straps won't suit all !
I have a timberland with diving strap costs similar to your budget !

 

[Raymond Lin]

So do I - If it wasn't a week to payday I'd probably be bidding on that.

Went for £46 in the end.

no they don't

 

[peterattheboro]

no they don't

They do if you have arms like king kong.

I wouldn't have said they don't if I didn't have hairy arms, would I?! I shall clarify.

I wear a metal-bracelet watch every day and it doesn't catch the hair on my arms.

Is this too cheap, I know Seiko watches are cheap but this is taking the biscuit.

£14.99 buy it now price, P&P £29.99 from Hong Kong.

Catch on mine all the time, I have to wear leather ones.

I got given a lovely Fossil watch for my birthday, plenty styles around like that if you like the chunkier styles.

It's about right - It's a £70 watch for £45 which is what I'd expect for Seikos on eBay.

Cool, my £120 Seilko doesn't look that good actually.

I bought my Seiko Automatic from an online shop somewhere in the UK for £40, love it. Very plain, but just works. I'd buy another, but I'd need to then get a thingy to wind the one I wasn't wearing, so I wouldn't have to keep adjusting the time when I changed watches.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Just wonder what is the difference between

Seiko Automatic and Seiko Kinetic?

They both have a self winding mechanism from what i can read, but my Kinetic has a little button that shows battery level (with the Seconds Hand) and i don't seem to see that button on automatic watches, is that the only difference? Because from what i can see on ebay, the automatic watches are a hell lot more cheaper than Kinetic ones. Automatic watches starts at around £15, and Kinetic ones starts around £100 !

 

[doofer]

They are both Automatic but the Kinetic use a capacitor to store energy instead of just a spring which then acts just like a rechargeable battery, they are more accurate just like a Quartz and have a much longer energy storage time.

 

[Raymond Lin]

So Kinetic is better ?
