Thanks to everyone who helped, I'm now confident that my watch is not only a genuine one, but also a rarer wide boy combination. However, they also confirmed that the bracelet was an out-and-out fake so that's in the hands of the ebay seller to sort out.

In the meanwhile it's left me with the dilemma of what to wear it on. So far the choices are homemade leather, curved end rubber or one of many NATOs.

The leather has a soft spot in my heart as it was my first attempt at a homemade strap and luckily it's the right width with curved ends that come pretty close:

Curved end rubber looks more contemporary, and I like the blue against the silver, but is it right on a DJ?

Then there's NATO. I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but I was surprised how good it looks on one - I thought they would look too sporty. Now the only question is classic Bond, Help for Heroes (UK armed forces charity), subdued or Tudor-style?

One thing's for sure, the 10 minutes I spent with the Polywatch has paid off when compared to the crystal as it was this morning:

I like the leather or nato straps. Rubber strap doesn't do it for me on a DJ

First one. Curved leather.

Every one that wasn't brown leather is ugly as sh!t - but a black version of that brown leather one would be sweet
