Default Does this look a bit of a bargain??

As above,i'm wanting a decent watch and came across this:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CASIO-EDIF...ht_2730wt_1270

it does look very cheap to me but it seems genuine enough although from Hong Kong! i have seen the same watch on Amazon for £112,here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/montre-EFR-5...9129975&sr=8-1

considering i was thinking of buying this:http://www.watchshop.com/mens-casio-...p99944649.html

what do you guys think??

cheers

Looks ok, seller seems to have a good score. But it's still a cheap watch. But probably very reliable. But its got a battery.

Only if you post back to Hongkong at your expense and insure it as you need to prove it arrives back with the seller...

Long walk if there's anything wrong with it.

Why not go and look in you local high quality jewellers and see what 2nd hand quality watches they have?

Might be ok but for an extra £30 you get piece of mind with the one from Amazon.

I'll never forget I bought a seiko watch strap on eBay from hong kong that turned out to be fake, not overly fussed as it was a rubber strap and was near enough, but who makes fake watch straps for about £5 a time for gods sake!
