Im a Nixon fan,got two

A super hero II and a Banks
Right tsubasa check this out: Ive settled on the Nixon 42-20 black/lime. On the official Nixon site the uk price is £410 and the USA price is, wait for it...... $400 (approx £250)!!! No seller i've tried is prepared to ship to the uk, saying "nixon has a strict policy blah blah", but they can ship other makes! After checking the cost of duty, delivery & vat it would still have been £90 cheaper: really annoyed :no

You could get a Tissot (very well made) but Michael Owen is the global ambassador for them - do you want to line his pockets?

I was gutted when I found out, had already purchased mine though :(

Got this for my 21st birthday 6 1/2 years ago. Just before Christmas '09 the battery went in it for the first time. Keeps perfect timing always... And is worth so much in sentimental value to me as it was a gift from my parents.

Old skool. Literally, I had it at junior school and then bought one again last year. You don't need any fancy bollocks on a watch really. There used to be an old Casio one with a map of the World on it that I'd have bought again if I could've found it.

Used to pretty much collect watches when I was a lad, but my dad bought me one of these when I graduated. Haven't looked at another watch since. Except when the clasp broke and I balked at paying €100+ for a new strap. After spending €300+ feeding my dormant watch fetish, I got it fixed.

Nice watch mate. I'm thinking of investing in the Omega Special Edition Moon Watch Legend. Although for a fair bit less, I could get a Speedmaster Legend Omega (I.e without the 40th anniversary moon watch tag)!

It depends if thats the actual watch in the pic or just an original that they're are using to make you buy it.
