Cuff watches

    I've been looking around Dublin for a decent cuff watch with a thick black leather strap. Also an analog watch, if possible. I've looked around quite a few watch and jeweller shops in town and nowhere seems to have them. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong shops.

    The problems with the ones that I see is that they're either not black, have designs that are way too fancy or only have part of the strap thick.

    I've attached something I like the look of. It's a Kahuna watch. The problem with it is that it's the watch John Cusack wears in 1408, and it seems to have been made purely for the movie. Browsing around online, the only one I've seen for sale on it's own is sold on ebay since July. You can also buy it from a movie prop website, but it only comes as part of John Cusack's full costume for the movie, which costs $1,500.

    The Kahuna website has a few similar watches, but only with "cracked black" straps. I also sent them a mail asking about it, but they never replied.

    Has anyone seen something remotely like what I'm interested in around Dublin?

    I have one fairly like that one except its brown leather and a digital face, I bought it out foreign though so thats not much good to you.

    If its any help its made by Giordano so if they have a website they might have something listed if you want to try buying online.

    Hm. Seems like they're trickier to come by that I had hoped. I've been in the watch shop in the Ilac Centre. Sounds like Dundrum is the place to go.

    Cheers for the replies, though. :p
