Fantastic value for a Swiss automatic watch with a quality ETA movement
At the current price (just under US $200 in October 2017) this watch offers remarkable value. The finish is of extremely high quality (comparable with much more expensive Swiss watches I've owned) and the ETA 2824 standard mechanical movement is a well proven item which can be found in many mid level Swiss watches which retail at much higher price points. The ETA movement on its own would cost more than the current selling point of the whole watch so this watch represents an incredible bargain. Obviously the size/styling of this watch is a matter of personal taste - I much prefer the relatively small size and discreet styling of a model like this to the larger and more garish styling which is more commonplace these days. The watch is very comfortable to wear - it is both light and has a relatively low profile/width which means it sits very neatly underneath a shirt cuff. The particular example of this watch which I received was satisfyingly accurate straight out of the box (running fast by about 3 seconds per day which is better than I experienced with a brand new Rolex Submariner I bought 20 years ago). Overall. at the current price, this watch represents a combination of quality and value which is breathtakingly good - if you like the size/styling I would recommend you hit the buy-it-now immediately as stocks are unlikely to last much longer at this price point.

Many years since I last saw this but still well worth a watch with a fantastic soundtrack.
This review was written in January 2018. I probably last saw this movie in the late '70's on a BBC TV broadcast so I was holding my breath about what the quality of the picture would be on a "High Definition Blu Ray" release. I was expecting no more than good quality DVD standard IQ but braced for even less based on some previous disappointments with older lower budget movies reased on Blu Ray - however, I need not have worried and I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the picture quality is well above that expectation; while it's not to the highest modern HD standards it is still very good indeed and some effort has clearly been put in to a print restoration for the HD release. The storyline and production values of the film itself are basic and no doubt reflective of the low budget that it would have had available, but it has a charm and smack of authenticity in the depiction of gritty everday life in early '70's Jamaica that rise above any shortcomings and give a soul to the film that still shines through after nearly 50 years. For me the soundtrack to this movie remains one of the best of all time and it would be reason enough to watch the movie on its own - it perfectly evokes the atmosphere of very early 70's Jamaica and features many memorable tunes (I have had the film soundtrack on CD since the early 90's and it is close to worn out now as it's seen so much use). Overall this a great period piece for anyone interested in Jamaican history and music and it is a nice quality Blu Ray disk that the movie richly deserves.
