This arrived yesterday. It is a Lorus battery powered watch and cost the huge sum of £25 new on ebay. I bought it mainly for a wear to work watch but my son (10yrs) has his eye on it so may get a nato strap and shorten it for him. Then he can have a watch that "looks like Daddy's".

Second picture shows the Lorus with my Sub Date and Tudor Sub.

That's a nice looking watch Colin

Enjoy it in good health

I had a Timex once that looked similar to that. It lasted about two years as an everyday work watch and I think the price was around $40 US. Can't go wrong for that kind of money

Thanks Paulie, as you say can't go wrong for the money.

I saw that Timex a few years ago and nearly bought it myself.

Not a bad looking watch at all!

Why did I send thousands on Rolex Sub when I could have got LORUS..

limbo · 20 October 2008, 02:42 PM

Good choice. It looks better than many of the higher priced watches.
