Obviously not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a great price for this watch.

Strange, when you compare the photos on Argos with those from other sellers there are several differences.
The Rotary logo is not the usual one.
The sub-dial markings are different.
The case lugs are a different design.
The strap is ribbed rather than smooth.
It will be interesting to see what actually turns up.
Fake? Argos special edition? WTF?

Are you able to post comparative pics?

I agree with most of the above but I don't think its fake!
It seems as though this brand has gone the way of many household tv brands like JVC, Sharp, Hitachi & some budget Panasonic TVs in that someone else makes them & the badge us stuck on them.
Under £30? Something's not right here

Hi
I have this watch it is not a fake.
The picture does not reflect the actual watch very well.
It is well made and definitely worth the price.
Note some of this stock would have been in an Argos store previously so check it carefully.
This is a bargain Argos have screwed up.

As suspected: From Wiki
"...Since 2014, it (Rotary) has been owned by Citychamp Watch & Jewellery Group Limited (an investment holding company formerly known as China Haidian Holdings until 2014)."

That doesn't surprise me, they also own another old Swiss brand, Eterna. Looks like the Chinese are slowly and surely taking over the world! :confused:

Lets see if this works:
Top one is the Argos version. If this is an example of an exclusive model supplied just to Argos, which happens a lot, it should have been given a different model number to distinguish it from the 'normal' version. If the pictures are to be believed, they even contain different movements, which makes them completely different watches.

The bottom image is the correct picture.
It was the version I was supplied from Argos.
The top picture is wrong but appears on many websites.
The link below gives some pictures -- but not from the argos site -- so please don't start complain the price is wrong!

Interesting, perhaps Argos are just using old photos of a previous version. Still, if the supplied watches don't match the photos in the listing, Argos could end up giving themselves a big headache if customers start complaining.
