Nice. How is it for timekeeping/reliability?

Considering ordering this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RAKETA-WA...es_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item19d7415224

Any idea if that's a reaosnable price? There are cheaper ones on ebay but that one seems to be in the best condition.

Ok for a cheap old watch i think mines about 25-30 years old, cost me £40 off ebay accurate for about 2-3 days and last just over 25-30 hours per wind up.

I got as its unusual and not for it high precision.

But if you do need to fix it heres how

Sod it, gone and ordered it now. Been looking for a new watch to replace my trusty £8 fieldwork Casio.

Will be interesting to see what it's like to live with -

They also make a nice loud ticking sound compared to my other manual watches.

Need to find a nice strap to match it with now. Wondering if black leather with gold stitching might look a bit crass...

Certainly,it's this one here. I got mine from that site but it was on offer last year in the sale for £220.

Got this for my birthday on the 27th!

Absolutely love it, quite unique I think!

Very nice...

Have a (oblong shaped) Rotary (quartz) myself, quite a nice watch...

I love this it's so quirky and different compared to the thousands of dreary styles out there that all look basically the same.

CASIO A0-230 (£20):

Cheap and slim watch which fulfills its main purpose adequately.

As it was new with tags it is a good price, It is certainly different, enjoy your purchase, it could become a talking point with its unusual pointers.

Can anyone identify the model of this watch? Clearing out the house and came across some of my grandads stuff. He had a tendency to buy fake watches, so I'm pretty sure this is one, but its kinda nice anyway. Just wondering if anyone can give more information about what it is or is suppose to be.

This back just has the DeVille logo, no serial numbers or anything.

It looks like a fake quartz Omega De Ville

It looks like a 1365 type watch but I don't really know the exact model. Maybe Rotty would be best for that.
