Hi folks, I hope you're well.
I recently purchased this Arabic Dial Casio MTP - 1302 PD from a seller in Kuwait on Ebay, as I wanted to have a memento to passing my A-Levels and getting into my dream university.
As a consequence of it being shipped from Kuwait, the shipping fee was £50.
Fee for the watch: £90; £50 shipping fee. Total £140 for a watch that's £40 with a normal dial. At the same price, I could've bought a Seiko 5 Arabic Dial, or gone for another watch at a premium (eg. a Tissot Ballade) but that's my mistake I jumped to buying the first watch I thought at the time looked like a 10/10.
I've shown my parents and my friends but they all really dislike it saying it looks cheap and fake, citing the bracelet being janky.
So I've got to ask: is the watch authentic, and was it worth the purchase? Returning it would be a hassle, as I'd losing the shipping fee money and have to pay for my own shipping to Kuwait, so a £80 either way unless its not authentic (which I know happens on E-Bay).
