It's incredible value,isn't it?

I bought mine plus a Berny mesh bracelet from Amazon uk (the Duro was sourced from Amazon USA) for about £60+.

Cracking value.

It wears well on my 6.5 inch wrist.

Thinking about a Casio Oceanus now, probably a T200 - the Duro makes me think it would wear well on my wrist.

Does "Erebus" mean darkness?

Maybe a little too like Chinese homage brands in a crowded market?

Thanks for the comments and responses to my query.

I've heard of people hanging watches overnight on pipes or metal coat hangers to try and amplify signals.

One watch reviewer mentioned having to hang outside an upstairs bedroom window which I thought a tad extreme, even for a young man.

It does seem there are still some issues but I am still tempted. A pity that I think the Casio T200 too big for my 6.5 inch wrist as it has bluetooth too.

We'll see.

Thanks again, everyone.

commented on Thinking about not getting the expensive watch? ·

80% of watch buying is in the look,mainly the dial.

If the AK is that look for you then buy it - you will always be able to sell it.

If time allows, maybe buy the Pagani homage and wear it for a while,although you might be contacted quicker than you think for the AK.

There will always be watches to buy but if that itch has to be scratched then it really has to be scratched as otherwise there will always be the "What if....".

commented on It’s crunch time…I have 12 hours to decide between a NTTD or new model blue Heritage Seamaster ·

It always will be, and must remain, your choice.

I would stay with what you have but that is only my view.

The NTTD leaves me a little cold (if they would remove the escape valve I might feel differently as the dial is pretty).

Your existing watch has been yours for some time so you must truely like it and, as you say, it will blend in more with different clothing.

Just my 2p worth.

Good luck with your choice.

I have this watch.

Weird crown but I got used to it.

The stock steel band felt like it was made from recycled beer cans.

Stangely, when I wore it for a couple of months it had around -20 spd.

I put it away and then a long while later used it again for several months where it was running -2/3spd!

Probably when I break it out again it will give different readings again.

It's definitely a watch to keep as I'm not sure there's anything really like it.

Currently on a Watchgecko mesh bracelet and not looking too shabby.

commented on Does this count as NWA ·

Absolutely the right choice.

I've tried 2 RC watches , a Casio and a Junghans,in the past but both failed to receive the time signal. The last time was 15 years ago. Oddly, my bed...
