And on a bracelet at that!
its about the same price as creation if you catch them with a favourable exchange rate.
talking of which .....http://www.creationwatches.com/produ...003b-3740.html nice looking watch
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Nice finds! Stop heavily persuading me to spend money!
£6 cheaper than Creation and from Amazon - Buy it !!
Just ordered one of these!
Was torn between the BM or an SKX007, can't argue with that price for the bracelet version :-)
Thanks for the heads up! I bagged the orange for £130 so if it arrives fine then it's a great price. The black dial is very smart but I don't have a coloured dial just now so that swung it for the orange!
Perhaps clearing out old stock, have this style of monster now been replaced with a new improved version.
Alot of watch for the money, I had one on a bracelet once, watch out you dont lose the very small washers/collars when you size the bracelet.
...I've just weakened and bought an OM as well.
I blame you lot.
But, I don't have an orange watch and I can't currently justify an orange-bezelled PO and I can't find a s/h 3-hander, orange-figured Lum-Tec.
So, it'll do nicely, thanks!
You can get a further 20% off by signing up to Amazon UK's clothing store e-newsletter here (it works...trust me!). I did so yesterday just before ordering a new G-Shock and received a discount code by email almost instantly, I then cheekily unsubscribed after placing my order
thought the 20% was only on items sold by amazon an not other sellers?
Sorry guys, serves me right for trying to be a penny pinching clever clogs...
For anyone who bought one ,I'm glad I could help ...
I didn't post the link until I bought one myself though :-))
Has anyone dealt with tough watches before? Are they reputable? I can't find any other info on them but I really really want an orange monster!!

The deals go through Amazon, so there won't be any risk you wouldn't get your money back if they didn't deliver. It might take a while, but you wouldn't need to claim via your credit card company.
It is a bit strange how the 'numbers available' stays the same, and also how long the delivery date is for an (allegedly) UK-based operation. However, it may just be that they've done a deal with a conventional supplier to take their residual stock of the last model, so there are several stages in the system. I'm not bothered as long as they come through eventually.
Nice find and thanks for posting it up. I also found the chap in NL so will likely use the 007 as an base to play with. For the money it seems like a good price.
Just looked on Amazon this morning and the price has gone up to £199.95!
Good timing!
Edit :
Oops! Was looking at the wrong seller lol, seems like 'toughwatches' has sold out.. Either way, a bargain at the price paid

cheap watch at that price - no worry for import duty either :)
Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
Got my dispatch email through this morning, I am hoping it doesn't take the 4 weeks that the delivery is estimated at though!
After thinking about it all weekend I took the plunge last night and ordered one! Glad i did now seeing this thread!
Has anyone got any experience with Tough Watches? I am also hoping it does not take a long time to turn up. Had a dispatch note this morning so hope it is not too far away!!!
I took the greatest of care last week adjusting the bracelet. You think you have all bases covered, then, ping, off one goes. Luckily I had an old industrial magnet as big as me hand. Swept the carpet for ages with it. Eventually found it, lucky. If you've bad eyes and sausage fingers those pins are a nightmare.
Tough Watches dispatch from Singapore according to their blurb.
Just a shame there's no whist faced. Unless I'm missing something.

I use the (free version) of an app called "Parcel" on the iPhone. As you enter the tracking number it tries to guess the courier from the tracking code format (and the last two letters if applicable). In this case it gets it as (understandably) Swedish Post (also with a bit of Singapore thrown in).
Mine appears to have left Sweden (hopefully to England!).
....and yet again, they are not dsending abroad!
Can't decide whether to pull the trigger or not on this.
It works out about £15 cheaper than Creation, has anyone ordered and recived from Tough Watches before?
They still seem to be saying only one in stock! not sure how true this is, maybe a ploy to make you pull the trigger. Nearly worked on me but then realised I have no need for this!
Damn you! I've just ordered a shiny new 007 from there.
My 1st TZ-UK related watch purchase. Not too expensive but as they say, from small acorns and all that... Part of me (perhaps my wallet...) may regret ever finding this forum!
My SNZH59 has arrived about 10 days after the order was placed
All looks fine, although there are some interesting stickers & clues...
It came from someone called Irene Tng in Singapore (allegedly) and via Sweden. There's a yellow sticker describing it as "Goods not fulfilling the conditions prescribed by Articles 9 and 10 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community" and a customs label describing it as a 'gift' of value US$14.00.
Now, to be honest, the US$ value is hard to read, and could say 149 or even 178 dollars, but I do wonder if this is (I'm no expert on this) effectively a way of making Amazon responsible for any losses rather than ToughWatches or thee and me.
Anyway, all's well so far, so I hope my OM arrives as safely soon, along with everyone else's on here.
Forgot to mention - comes with a real-looking full set, including a very kosher-looking guarantee card etc. The packaging is reasonable.
Mine arrived today..
Despite my concerns about 'maybe' receiving the rubber version, it's on the steel bracelet :)
Packaged well, albeit slightly dusty inside the box? I've given the monster a rinse and she's shining beautifully!
I hope everyones elses deals are going smoothly. Thanks for the heads up!
Update .....
My new seiko monster arrived today ....very good service
Mine arrived today too! With the mysterious yellow sticker about an EEC Treaty...
Thanks to OP.
