Check out this cool site if you want to design your own watch but cant afford a 121 time for example:

Just had a little play and came up with something that looked quite good :)

I didn't look too hard at the site, but I'd be assuming the auto movements will be chinese?!!

I think it says both auto and quartz are made by citizen miyota, which isnt bad really, i like the quartz pilot chrono for £170, nice mix of straps for all the watches aswell i thought. :D
Anyways its fun if your bored! lol.

It also says you can design your own dials if you become a member (simply registering info) which could result in some interesting ideas :) .

Thanks for that, had a little play and came up with a couple of interesting combinations. +1 on the good selection of straps.

It is fun isn't it. Tried designing a dial but couldn't work out how to change the main colour so gave up. Still a few hours spent well :D
