Google 'PAM 318 Special Edition "Brooklyn Bridge" watches...my £80 getat has a near identical movement to the £3k+ panerai (might be more than £3k)
Jules, where did you get your Getat from? Had any issues with it as i've heard of a few reports of people having dodgy movements?
Currently eyeing up a Pilot or Radiomir.

I'm not 100% certain that was it, I can check paypal later to double check.
I've not had any issues with it apart from it fucking stank when I got it

it will be like the watches you get in crackers or you win at the fair, total rubbish.
how much must it cost them to make if they can sell and ship for that price? 
you will have green wrists and springs pinging out left right and centre

They'll look shit.
Still absolutely no idea what's tempting people or why they don't get that a £2 Chinese watch will look and feel like a £2 Chinese watch?

Got my first watch in the post yesterday.

It's exactly as pictured. It came in a nice box with plastic still covering the surfaces.
It looks less worn/weathered than the one in the pic.
Seem's good enough quality. And it doesn't seem like it'll break any time soon.
It's bloody massive though.
