I emailed them and anything thats purchased on ebay you have to open a case. Unless its paid on ebay and you have an option of click and collect.

Have bought it and hope it turns out good :smiley:
This Badger and Blade thread http://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/bulova-watches.176754/ says that Bulova's parent company is Citizen. Watchuseek describe Caravelle as "Entry Level" or "Budget" Bulova, maybe on a par with one of Seiko's budget brands, Pulsar.
Edit: I can see some Caravelle watches are as low as $15 on Amazon.com (eg https://www.amazon.com/Caravelle-45A112-Analog-Display-Japanese/dp/B00GG5W1PK ) so maybe the prices vary wildly - but for a fashion watch that looks the part and, I assume, has a working Chronograph function (I mean, I once had a Geneva MK-knockoff watch for £2 from Aliexpress! that was tinny and fell to bits) - it's worth it.
Have some heat my daughter is going to love this just for the colour alone thanks op :sunglasses:

Is the chronograph function a working one or fake stuck on dials?

The HSN Youtube review I posted mentions "Chronograph Function" at 0:35 https://youtu.be/NNIPnuH9Ako?t=35 - I would imagine they wouldn't mention if it wasn't working, as it would encourage a lot of negative reviews - and returns, something a shopping channel wants to avoid.
The Amazon.com listing https://www.amazon.com/Caravelle-Womens-44L117-Display-Japanese/dp/B00GRWTFX8 says "Stainless steel case. Rose gold-tone stainless steel bracelet features a fold-over clasp closure with push-button release. Round face. Three-hand analog display with quartz movement. Rose gold-tone dial features rose gold-tone hour markers, a minute track, Caravelle detailing, and three sub-dials. Chronograph functionality. Crystal-embellished bezel. Water resistant 30m. Imported."
Q&As there also say:
"What do the top and bottom buttons do on the right side?
Answer:
on/off button for the smaller hand.."

Nice solid bracelet, looks the part, bargain buy! Thanks so much anis00786. Chronograph seems to work fine.
PS: The pink face version is on Argos ebay but quite a bit more expensive at £30.99 - 20% off would take it to about £24 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351998232965

I got two, one had clear plastic film over the face and was already ticking - the other had nothing covering the face, but it did have a plastic "stopper" under the pull out knob (or whatever it's called, haha) - that starts it ticking when removed. Both immaculate and seem to work fine.
