Which watch do i want?

[Dan_1981]

Apologies for yet another "what watch thread" - they are getting a bit regualr in here but I could do with some recomendations.

Budget is probabaly £300 or maybe a little bit more.

I currently own an Accurist diver style thingy, an Armani rectangular faced type dress type watch thingy, and a G-shock.

This time i'm looking for something on a metal bracelet - either silver or black. I like quite a busy dial so chrono would be good but not essentail for the right watch.

I like Tag and Omega styling but can't afford it, although some of the brietlings are a little too busy.

I keep being drawn to a Seiko Monster - i don't particularly like the standard ones but do like both the purple night monster and the orange night monster. (sk007 and sk001?)

The only reason i'm not convinced by one is that i have quite skinny wrists so am concerned that they may be a little too big - plus the inability to try one on in the uk or even see / feel one.

So ladies and gentlemen - what am I missing?

Cheers

Dan

Do like a couple of those Christopher Ward ones - are they only available online or can you buy in store?

Are they well regarded?

I got a second hand (in excellent condition) TAG Heuer F1 for less than that. I think a Chrono may be in budget if you look around.

Not adverse to 2nd hand at all.

Would be alittle uncertain buying from ebay due to the fakes but if anyone can reccomend a decent source?

That's 3 watches you already own and you are going to spend up to another £300. In total that's around £8-900 in watches.

As you have said you like Tag and Omega styling, how about not buying any more watches that aren't satisfying your desire and put the money aside and keep saving until you can afford the one you really want.

I only have 1 watch, a Rolex Submariner, it's all I have ever wanted and I just saved until I had enough cash to buy it.

If you like lots of different watches then by al means carry on, but I thought I'd just throw this into the ring.

Be gone with your 'one watch' nonsense, are you some sort of 'wife' creature??



He may have a point though...

He may have a point...... but..... hmmm

Oh just remebered that i have one of those fashion watches as well - a diesel digital one. So theres another 100 quid to the pot.

Ooops.

BUT i do like wearing numerous watches, depending on what i'm doing / where i'm going etc. I wear the Armani when i'm out dressed reasonably smartish, the Diesel when out in the pub, or sometime the g shock, the accurist i havn't worn for ages - i got it for my 18th, but it used to be a daily wear.

I'd probabaly like to wear what ever i buy as a daily thing.

So curretly i'm now considering a monster - def a night one - as i want the black strap.

Now i'm also considering a Christopher Ward, as they look good - but not sure of the brand?

And now also a second hand something or other.......

[Dan_1981]

Think i've now narrowed it down to the fact that its going to be a Christopher Ward....

Either a C4 Peregrine Chrono

or a C7 Rapid Chrono.
