That's not really flying with me!
I also don't give it very long before the movement fails at that price and/or the casing fades/looks like poo from weathering since it's just basic polished steel. - Maybe even just a top coat polish since it says it's part alloy.
The window will also scratch easily since it's standard glass, not even mineral glass.
I'd buy one to open up and see how things tick but that's about it

Recommendations? 
Pref. around that price as I'm not made of money, honestly even if it lasts a few months, at that price, I'd have no problem buying another...

If you can stretch to up to around £50 then a Seiko 5 makes perfect sense.

The one I purchased costs £14.98
See above. Will let you guys know how long it lasts

Looks nice!
I found this in my garage, not used it for years, so changed the batteries, and it worked

two additions this morning, just two very cool watches IMHO,
Soldato
I was the same, have you tried it on?
Man of Honour
19mm bracelet on that Sub no? It felt a bit thinner than my Hydro's bracelet when I tried one on last. It tapered down to a smaller width whereas this one remains the same from lug to clasp.

Not seen that Speedmaster before. How old?
Soldato
its the Speedmaster MKII from 1968/9, and ran alongside the 'Moonwatch',
later there was the MKIV and MK4.5,
stunning watch in the flesh, and also my birthyear watch
you know I don't know mrk, I need to measure, but it seems in proportion, and reminds me of earlier late 60', early 70's Rolex proportions

Sub c bracelet is 20mm at the lugs, it is also one of the most comfortable and adjustable bracelets that I have worn
Man of Honour
That may be the case but the Sub I was checking out belonged to a member here and we both agreed it didn't feel as nice by comparison given the cost difference between the two.
No doubt someone will always disagree but that's the way it is.
Not that it matters now since I wear a leather strap on mine

I totally agree with this, the glidelock system is fantastic, I adjust mine every time I put it on, as it is on full 'stretch' when I put it in the box/safe.
oddly it feels almost retro, I suppose taking its cues from earlier models
