I wouldn't buy it either, looks cheap and the display is crap.

Might be good for a spare one when working on the car just in case it gets damaged!

They do have a very cool and unique shape to them, it is one that I have been on the hunt for myself, got one to spare? ;-)

Wow! The original Longines model is LED porn IMO; very high on my most wanted watch list. The new 'tribute' watch has much of the same style but, like many of the modern LED's, let down but a less elegant display - might still get one though!
The other day, my computer beat me at chess. It was rubbish at kick boxing though.

I think the original button configuration gives the watch more of a balanced look, it's a pity that the copy didn't adopt the same button arrangement, I wonder if the module in the copy could be replaced with an original 70s module.
