Blimey what's all that tripe about?

It's a low price on a good looking watch from Rotary - a decent enough long-established budget brand. 'Pilot' style is just a descriptive term for a category of watch types, like 'Diver's' watches - how many of those actually sell to divers?

Yes it is a copy of a Breitling but all watch makers copy each other to varying degrees, haven't you noticed? It is what it is - a bargain price for a good looking OK quality watch.

So what does "Pilot Style" mean then? I think it's fair to say that your average cockpit has a clock these days, maybe even two. I'll wager that pilots don't really need to drop the best part of five minutes' salary on this beauty.

If we're talking about a watch that says "Look at me, I'm a pilot".... well I've never yet met a pilot who didn't tell you what he did for a living before the handshake had even ended.

Anyway, if you're not lucky enough to fly a 777 or an F22 Raptor for a living then chances are that this forty quid Argos special isn't going to get you balls-deep in Wetherspoons's finest totty before the night is out, so just pick up a ten quid Casio and spend the change on a kebab, a couple of pints and a few Pot Noodles.

Got a few quid? Well then go an buy a Breitling, but you know what that will say about you? It will say "I'm not a pilot but I want people to think I am." The two pilots I know don't wear Breitlings. One wears a Speemaster like all men should, and the other wears an IWC (Classy, and he's never short of some top blart).

You're not a pilot, you never will be, this watch won't make people think you fly the red-eye from LAX to NYC. Don't kid yourself otherwise.

says £89.99 when I click on get deal?

LOL, too late I have self destructed. Luckily I found out it is for the rotating bezel, just before I disappeared :smiley:
Great watch and some good videos on YouTube.

Thanks OP, I have purchased and am very pleased.
one question, There is a single button on the left side of the watch, does anyone know what it is for please ?

Do these have Japanese or Chinese movements?

I agree, what a dick, he could do with getting a life never mind a cheap kebab !!!!!!!!!!!!!! the watch looks fine.

It's a bit busy looking for my tastes, but I agree that the build quality looks pretty good for the price.
