wymberley Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 The price of those is such that you'd probably be better off with a Seiko. But a little of what you fancy............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 They like there watches on here that's for sure, I do but my budget is never more than £200. If you like it and can afford it have it. And just to improve your holiday its snowing and hail up north, been throw it down all week.

Lloyd90 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Seiko 007 or 009 are lovely! Althoufh, I have a 2005/2006 (can’t remember) Omega Seamaster 300 - they really are lovely perhaps look for a second hand one from a reputable source? Could pick one up for less than £2k.

bluesj Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Got a citizen eco drive great watch look good, water proof, even tells the time and less that £200. but I got a tag as a birthday present to myself (as no one else would bother) because its a nice watch the only trouble is I use it most of the time. So if you like something and can afford it then get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 You can get a mint 2nd hand Rolex Sub with date bubble and papers from a Main dealer on the continent for Under £4K. And when you want to sell it you’ll get more than £4K back home and you’ll sell it easy. That way you are not actually spending any money.

Loki Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi If in no hurry to commit to a purchase I would suggest time spent on a couple of watch forums (Rolex Forums, TZ-UK Forum etc.) will provide information on many watches and models, as well as potential for great saving on 'enthuisiatic' owners 'flipping' watches.

And a Casio digital for work! I have a few different ones for dress, but nothing above £30. Some watches just look the part, and I do think a watch can really set off an outfit. Think my most expensive one is a Timex Indiglo which reminds me needs a new battery great choice on the Longines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
