Grabbed this for $40.00 on Ashford and after the 10% off with shipping it was $44.00 and I'll get 3% back from Rakuten. It actually was their last one in stock. I love Rotary and have at least 10 or 12 in the collection maybe more I'll have to check. The Aquaspeed is nothing really special 43mm small compared to most watches I buy, SS, rotating bezel, screw down crown, rubber strap embossed with AQUASPEED on both, 100m water resistant, probably a Japanese quartz movement. I like the dial a lot. the strap looks cool but a bit stiff. It has Dolphin Standard on the back no clue what that means! LOL I wish all my stuff would come all at once still waiting on 4 watches one from China another from Italy, one directly from the company in NY I think and another from a seller on Ebay. All have different expected delivery dates and I have to make sure I am home because the mail carrier just tosses all my stuff on the side walk and screws! I could not be home yesterday so I had my neighbor keep an eye out for it. she watched him scan it at the back of the truck and them toss it from the street where it pratically landed under my motorcycle that is parked in the lot out front! He didn't even make an effort to walk the 10+ feet to my door even though he has to come back to put mail in my mail box that is right next to my door!!!!

As noted by Mike (above) it really is a very clean, easy-to-read (and easy-on-the-eyes) timepiece, one that's a no-brainer when it comes to the price you paid for it. Rotary has really made itself more available to us non-millionaire watch collectors over the last dozen years or so, which is something that not many watch companies would have the courage to do, and that is one of the reasons why I really like the brand. I know you're going to enjoy the HECK outta this one, so please make sure that you DO so, verdammt!! :wink:
