LOL, JUST HAD TO ASK

Has anyone got a DeTomaso Watch?

I would have thought that anybody spending 4k on a watch would also be able to afford the holiday and something enjoyable!

Talking of cheap watches, I've become a bit of an accidental G Shock buyer - now got four (the missus has one) but two are semi "grown up" analogues.

Anyway I was after a tide watch for surfing use and liked the G-Lide range. At £120 it was a bit much for a digi watch then while scanning a few ads I saw it on Amazon for.... £12!! Bought it, waited a week (assuming it was either an error or a something else) and a half and it arrived - solar atomic, does loads of stuff, nuclear bomb proof. It's no dress watch but I rather like it. Not bad for 1/10 of the RRP!

Pictured here with two others (I can't find the black ion metal Cockpit I hae somewhere). The silver and black one is solar atomic too but as user friendly as the Russian language and has already needed a major "service" (it stopped synching for no reason) - £85. I got it for £95 though and not seen it for less than £250 anywhere so not bad.



The digi one is 13 years old (!) and still fine - not nice looking but stores 100 numbers. Bought it for travelling to Oz and NZ. The numbers were in case we came out from a surf and everything had been nicked (stuck passport numbers and similar on it) - most I paid for a G Shock too - £120!!!

Looks like a Defi strapped to your wrist. Kind of cool in an odd way.

Well it's a darn sight cheaper than the real deal, made by Harry Winston using just cogs and gears but retailing for the same price as a new 458 Italia!!
