Watch recommendations - again

Cyrus

Im looking for another watch, the last one i bought (and am very very happy with) is a revue thommen airspeed xl, swiss made, 25 jewel base calibre ETA 2836-2 movement, decorated and exposed movement, 41mm face, sapphire crystal, black leather strap.

All of the above for £500.

Im on the look out for something in a similar price range (less than 500 would be good) that will look good on a brown strap. Large round face, not too cluttered with a similar spec.

Anyone help me out, im more interested in quality than 'brand'

Cyrus

sorry copy of a post in a uk forum, it was 500 stg!

have been looking at stowa tho

£500 or 500euros? there's a pretty big gap there and £500 will be better and easier for us to give suggestions on getting a good quality piece.

Not saying that watches less than 500euros are bad but £500 should get you a quality watch.

My cousin has a raymond weil watch that's has a nice gold surround and white face with a black strap, have to say it looks rather nice. It's quite similar if not the same as this one

some of them stowa pieces as quite nice too.

ahh you replied as i was writing my reply, yes, i am that slow at replying

Cyrus

i like the pilot style, more of a swiss/german made watch man myself, those hawian ones look a little cheap??

Cyrus

yeah not really my thing and having hawaii on the face doesnt scream quality! altho i am sure they are, silly notion i suppose

so any other suggestions!

im liking the stowa flieger at the moment
