Thread: The holiday beater game

    The holiday beater game

    I'm bored and was browsing Amazon for a holiday beater watch. The budget is £10 and that has to include P&P. What would you choose from the ridiculously vast selection? http://amzn.to/1zdNyOD

    F-91W has beater written all over it
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-F-91W-...4501123&sr=1-1

    However I also spotted that same infantry in black which looks worth a punt at £8.... Or blow the budget by 59p and go B&R style. Just don't go swimming with it.

    Hadn't thought of that. More a case of not caring if it gets smashed/stolen while... under the influence. Ahem.

    Jeez, what do you get up to when inebriated? I usually just slide further and further down the chair and then stagger off to bed! :-)

    There's more staggering, so more likely to bump wrist off things like door frames, lamp posts, swimming pools.

    Actually a couple of those Base watches look OK for a tenner if you dont mind a plastic strap.

    Why buy a special cheap holiday watch when you can also wear one of your beloved watches from your collection?

    Just wear your watches everywhere and enjoy them.

    Yeah, but then you miss out on the fun of looking at new watches!

    Darren, have you still got that beaten up Breitling Colt with the missing bezel - wouldn't that do?

    Personally I go to Bologna to pick up my £10 holiday beaters.
