Let's see, what will 35€ get you these days? That's $45 for our feathered friends, by the way.
Well, you can get a decent take-away meal. Our lebanese order from the local delivery place comes to just under 32 Euros for me and Mrs Pugwash. Or, A DVD and pizza evening-in can pass the 35 mark. If you're a smoker, that's 7 packets of Marlboro lights. Or, it's a light night out with some mates and not so much beer.
Or, it's a Rolex President from a member on these boards. Yes, it's Asian. Yes, it's not gold. Yes, the face is wonky. But come on, it's 35€.
I wanted one because a friend of mine has a real one, and it'd be fun to match him watch for watch next time I see him.
In defiance to the phrase "you can't polish a dog turd" I decided to give this the Full Pugwash treatment. Down went the lights to a single source, open the aperture, give it some stick. Gold, baby, gold.
Now, wait until the box and anchor arrive. Yes, they're on their way from other members. I'll end up with the shiniest dog turd on the block. 35€, it should be illegal.
Oh, it is.
edit: The dial is now aligned. It was an easily fix...
