Im interested in buying the:

46mm SQUARE PVD MARINA STERILE BELL WATCH ORANGE DIAL

Anyone purchased? Quality any good? :think:

For £50-60 it looks quite a deal, and its a simple design so I cant imagine getting it wrong but I would like to know about the movement

Thanks

I don't know if mine was from the same supplier as Helenarou's, but it had a really bad Miyota Stutter (uses a Chinese Miyota clone movt).

Otherwise, the case construction is very nice. I'll post pics when I'm not in the middle of class lol

edit: better yet, here's a link to the review I posted:

lol i hear you on the cheap movement. I broke it trying to adjust the stutter out (forgot to release the mainspring and the movement exploded when I removed the top plate. Never found the mainspring click.) I replaced it with a $15 Miyota clone from ofrei and it runs fine now :D

Does your crown screw down? Mine doesn't, which is just fine by me because I like to give it a little hand-crank every now and then.

The lumeless hands are dumb, too, and it does almost look too big on a 7.5" wrist, but I like it nonetheless.

The main reason I bought mine was because I really want a BR-01-94 (instrument chronograph. Preferably limited-edition orange markers on pvd case) but before I drop out of school and put my college money into a watch, I wanted to make sure I'd actually want to wear a 46mm square watch. Good thing I like it. Now I'm off to the registrar to drop all my classes and withdraw my enrollment.

j/k :D I'll go ahead and finish my BA, I guess.

Yes, it does screw down. It is confusing, however. The thing is winding the whole time it is screwing down. Maybe you just haven't turned it enough while depressing it???
I mean mine isn't designed to screw down. No threads at all.
