A watch for £1000

[cc8s]

Any suggestions?

Here are the things I would like(but I am up for changing any of them of course):

Face between 40-44mm
Automatic(with glass back)
and I would love it to be a Limited Edition.

Are there many limited edition watches under £1000?I have always liked limited edition things.

Chronomaster list a Omega Speedy James Bond Ltd Edition, but it's £1395...

They also have an Oris TT3 Grand Prix, coming in under budget at £595, display back, eta movement, 48mm including crown, 44mm excluding. #1396 out of 1800





ETA - list on that Oris is £1k, so it's a pretty decent price all said!

That Omega is a beauty! I wish I could stretch that far, but tbh the £1000 is a stretch already.

I am not so keen on the Oris, but it is still nice.

Thanks for the help

I have been continuing to look and have found some Omegas for under £1000! I have found a Seamaster which I love the look of.

Omega - You know it makes sense!!!

Stowa ? The Marine Original is a stunning watch for under the 1k mark. Nothing wrong with a hand wound movement.

You will always get a lot more for your money if you decide to opt for a second hand watch ... As others have said, you can't go wrong with an Omega! However the Seamasters and entry-level Speedmasters have solid case backs, but then again the argument is, when will you be looking at the back of your watch?

I'll throw in some ideas;

Stowa Seatime? 42mm, sapphire glass front and back, as well as a trusty ETA 2824-2 movement The Seatime has an excellent reputation amongst owners and is not a common watch! However the waiting times for delivery do vary, so check first before purchasing ...





Seatime Blue: 650Euro (+ 80Euro for bracelet) | Seatime: 730Euro with bracelet

Oris Kazuki Nakajima Limited Edition? 42mm, display back and 1/1088 pieces ... ~£880



I'll find some more ...

Believe it or not, it took me over 20 minutes to type out the above ... You beat me to it

That Stowa Seatime is a lovely piece... That might even end up going on my list!!

At 46mm it's a bit big, but a lovely looking watch all the same - The Glycine Incursore Black Jack;

Jura Watches have one down from £1,270 to £735 ... It's also 1/350 pieces, so very exclusive!

I thought it stood for something else before I read that

I like that, but 56mm across the lugs seems huge

+2, also have a look at the more obscure makes as well, like, as has been mentioned, Fortis, Damasko, Doxa, Stowa, Glycine, Kobold.

Thanks for everyone's contributions.

I am really liking that Stowa, it looks great and is not too expensive. And my other choice would be an Omega Seamaster, at a stretch.

I do wonder about getting a more mid-range watch(£500) and wait until I am earning more to spend such a huge amount of money on watch right now. Anyone have any thoughts?

Sounds riht up your street ltd edition as well.

Tiny bit over budget at £1150 but you will probably get a discount. edit balls its 46mm

The best advice I can give is to get the watch you prefer the most, otherwise you'll always pine for the one you really wanted! The Stowa and Seamaster are both excellent watches - Which do you prefer design wise? Perhaps there is another watch not yet mentioned that might be worth considering ... Steinhart maybe?

They also do a silver face non-limited edition variant too!
