Well ended up and pulled the trigger as my Citizen eco drive has died again despite leaving it out in the light for two days. It is 16 years old but that "never needs a battery" stuff is bs. Never buy into marketing cant folks.
I 've got exactly the same watch,got mine from ebay too s years ago, not this Seiko authorized dealer, but the same deal, superb watch for it's very reasonable price, the only thing ive had to do is change the strap,because the original broke, but after 3 years that's exceptionally good..I replaced it with a nato18mm strap.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NATO-Watch-Strap-Band-Military-Divers-G10-Nylon-18mm-20mm-22mm/272778199402?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&var=571914670895&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649@tuxxdk I bought this one on ebay but it is sold by a Lloyds Jewellers in Pembrokeshire Wales who are a Seiko authorized dealer: stamped the book and everything.

With a 7s26 movement, I reckon that looks like a fair bit of watch for the money - and who doesn't love a crown at 4 o'clock?@tuxxdk I bought this one on ebay but it is sold by a Lloyds Jewellers in Pembrokeshire Wales who are a Seiko authorized dealer: stamped the book and everything.

The only watch I regret flipping was my Seiko Sumo,. The build quality and timekeeping was outstanding.
@Paul L yea I hear you but that dive watch is twice the price. I only need a splash proof daily beater and I thought £60 was great value for money. I am happy with what I have I like dress style watches.
I shall probably try an Orient and report back. I do agree with another contributor that a watch really does have to tick. Either that or be entirely fuss-free. I like the Citizen Eco-Drive watches. Buy and forget. As long as they are left out so that the face can see the ambient light, just adjust the hour twice a year.
Spot the similarity? Obviously this Orient watch (£109 landed) doesn't come wit the pedigree or history of the Longines (£810) but for the "saving" I'll live with that.
