I picked up a Chemical Brothers digital watch about 6 months ago at a car boot sale which I dismissed as unofficial merchandise but recently did some digging and it seems like it was a promotional item for Come With Us. Any one know anything?

Looks like it travelled through time from 1983! Is it a time traveling watch? "Just press this button and jump forward 30 years!"
Time to fire up the "Show me what you got" thread again just so that someone can mention the wristwatch in amongst the usual 12"s, CDs and DVDs...

So on THIS website the description does seem to match your image above, but their picture appears to be different. You can click on their pic to make it bigger, but I still can't read what it says on the pictured watch face. And a snip at only 100 Euros!

And on THIS site, the description again seems to match the image above. On my PC their image seems to be blank. I presume that's not just me. And look, it's a snip at only 113 Euros for this used item! Who's going to 'Add To Cart'? :razz:

Well Im tempted to sell mine. I dont really want to wear it as im worried I may damage it and im not as big a chemical brothers fan as some on this forum but I wouldn't know how to price it. Im also slightly attached to it as I spent a long time carefully polishing it andcleaning the insides when I got it as I've got to say the previous owner didn't really look after it. She didn't know what it wa s and believd it to be a 'vintage watch from the 60s' and because of the chemical brothers logo thought it was Arabic or something. Haha

Vintage watch from the 60's, hahaha! That's awesome!!

I have never seen this watch. I'm not sure how much you should price it, if you were to go ahead and sell it. I am sure whoever buys it would love to have it in their collection.
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

Please make sure they're larger than the original image that you posted. The first image was too small on my Superbowl sized screen.

I actually kind of like the way it looks. However I'm not about to pay money for it, so I guess my opinion isn't worth much!
