It looks neat on the picture but I'm certainly interested about this in real life. Please post pics when it arrives! It appears that it is mechanical (wind up??).
I love watches, but can't be convinced to spend large gobs o money on one. A few years ago my wife bought me a Tag from Costco that didn't work out of the box (likely a dead battery). I couldn't find anyone that could replace it reasonably so we returned it. I had a Citizen that spontaneously died, and two ESQ that were flaky. To be honest, and don't judge me, but the best watches I've owned are Timex and Casio. I've got a few really nice looking ones and they just keep working. The Casio Ediface are nice. I got a subscription offer to Canadian Business once that came with a free watch. The ironic part is that they advertise high end stuff to executives including Brietling and others, and the watch they ended up sending was the most hideous, cheap crap I've ever seen. Worse than dollar-store quality. Not that I expected any different, just found it funny. |

I've been a loyal Citizen fan-boy since 1997 when I bought my titanium Eco-drive. Still holds a charge and works flawlessly. Since then have bought 4 others in various styles. Not a status piece, but looks great and functions perfectly. Much like my 2.5i Z4.

My best friend is in the jewelry business and told me a cheap Casio or Citizen with a quartz movement will keep better time than any pricy mechanical watch like a Rolex, Breitling or Chopard. When you buy something that expensive you're essentially buying a piece of jewelry that doesn't function any better than a $5 kid's watch. But if that's your thing then go for it.

This strap cost 10x more than your Ebay watch so I hope you match it with a decent watch!
It's custom made by The Strap Smith: http://www.thestrapsmith.com/default.php He also sells just the ///M buckle in the buckle section. |

To me, its different than when a company copies something that the original makes. For example, knock off Prada bags or something like that. If BMW doesn't offer something that I want, I don't have an issue. A perfect example here is the guys with the M pedals...highly doubt they are licensed.
That's just my take but I recognize both sides of that argument. |

They quickly took offense to a hat that was being sold on Bimmerfest a couple of years ago

I know other guys who can do custom strap like this for cheaper but don't have the ///M buckle:
