....and it's a goer

Actually, even if you bash it with a hammer, it still is

Seriously though, cost only a tenner + shipping brand new with a leather band (although not going to last long ). So far so good,working and keeping time. Automatic movement, apparently water resistant (even though I will be carful with this) + date. Have a look at images.
