New watch advice

Slattsy · 2019-02-02 22:28:53

Hi all, looking for some opinions on my next watch. Have a budget off 500e. All my watches that i currently wear are very formal, one Tag H, and 3 Tissot's. Looking for something a bit less formal, something to throw on on a Saturday, sink a few pints, away from work and meetings etc Just looking for some thoughts. Cheers.

Would leave enough of your budget for a nice strap

Maybe something like :

I'd go for a Seiko divers watch of some sort. If all your watches are more formal, loads of nice ones from under €500.

Something like this: https://www.creationwatches.com/products/seiko-divers-automatic-90/seiko-automatic-divers-japan-made-skx007-skx007j1-skx007j-200m-mens-watch-837.html

I'd get a metal bracelet too, I've a higher end Seiko divers watch which came with the rubber and metal strap, nice to change between the two.

It's legit and has been used by many forum members. Note it is based outside of Europe so factor in customs & clearance charges.

Yep, factor in customs. I just use it for reference, lots of irish jewellers will have it too if you want to buy local. Amazon uk too

Creation is sound, but you will have to add 23% VAT plus an admin charge of about a tenner. So a EUR199 watch becomes a EUR256 watch...

Note that the PRC 200 is a highly counterfeited watch. If you were thinking of buying one used I would excercise some caution.
