You won't have to look hard for it either, though you won't get any obscure brand cachet. I present the Taliban Ticker....

lol

A couple of years ago I bought one each for my boys as I thought they were a classic. Great little watch. Then I read about that on the BBC about a year ago.

So if we ever get to America they will be branded junior terrorists.

Just makes them cooler in their eyes...

I had one of those for work years ago, may still be in a draw somewhere. It's scratched to bits from getting jammed by a clumsy fireman at an RTC.

"the Casio F-91W digital watch was declared to be 'the sign of al-Qaida'

Bit harsh, I bought mine to stop me scuffing my more attractive Citizen Ecodrive when doing the garden and DIY. I'm wearing it right now in fact.

Ta, just bought a couple to stick on the bike handlebars. At £4 it doesn't matter if some scrote nicks them.

I prefer a Timex, my dad prefers Casio. We still get on through, somehow.

I wear one all the time.

A design classic, which is obviously why I bought it.
Not because it was less than a tenner, oh no.

If I loose this one, I might push the boat out and get the model with the built in Space Invaders game next time.
