£200 watch. With slightly picky requirements...

[sneijder]

I haven't seen one in the flesh TBH. It's one I've pondered on, but having a Monster I can't justify another watch that does exactly the same thing.

Creation Watches have just stopped shipping Seiko to the EU it seems, which is a shame as they are fantastic.

If I were you, I'd trawl through their website for Seiko divers http://www.creationwatches.com/products/search/res... ... and if you see model you like, you should easily find someone in Hong Kong with decent feedback who'll ship it on Fleabay. Seiko don't seem to bother pushing this kind of stuff in Europe, just more expensive stuff.

Cheers sneijder.

This isn't getting Mrs Dibble's tea cooked you know...

What about that Japan made black Seiko 5 that a few of us bought late last year? (There's a thread about it somewhere)

I have mine on now but I've no idea on the model number. I think Lukebird bought one too? I know Cyberface did.

Excellent watch, auto, etc.

I did see them on the sub-£50 thread after I'd posted this one; my main concern was "waterproofness", followed by size (as I'm a fat knacker...). The eBay seller that everyone used is still selling them, but then later on in the thread, a couple of people seemed to have problems with them.

I'm tempted by this in the meantime... £20...

That's not the one I think Nolar Dog was referring to.
The model I think she was referring to is - SNZF53J1 or commonly referred to as the mini/neo-Monster.



I did indeed buy one but have recently moved it on.
Comfortably within budget, an Automatic, WR 100M and solidly built.

[Nolar Dog]

Thanks Luke. Yes, that's the one I meant and I'm wearing right now.

I thought I remembered you buying one at the time.

I like it, apart from the width of the bezel. And the red.

Dibs,

what about this, Archimede pilot H

Nice. Tempted. A bit over the £200 mark though. And I know it sounds like I'm being unbelievably picky, but I don't like the tapered winder so much...

[Nolar Dog]

They do the black and red one in silver. Without the red.

Bezel looks smaller on that colour choice, although it is the same.

It just isn't doing it for me, sorry!

Although I like a decent sized watch, I like the face to be a bit less cluttered, if that makes any sense? Which is why I like the SInn ones, and now the Archimede that ajstephe so kindly suggested...

Yeah I just couldn't help myself!
It was just a touch on the large side for me.

I have that Mini-Monster... I frickin love it.

Something like http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mans-SEIKO-5-BLACK-FACE-AUTO...

[mikeveal]

Christopher Ward Malvern automatic £215,

not sure how waterproof it is...

Christopher Ward Henley Automatic £235

Again, no details on how waterproof.

Hope that helps.

Christopher Ward...

Hope that helps.

Nice, but a bit too smart for what I'm after. Tending more towards a "diver" style watch.

Keep an eye here (sold out at mo) / you're not likely to find a UK stockist - at least I couldn't when I was looking:

Was that cobblers in the end ? It appeared on their website fairly recently.

[936ADL]

I ordered mine on Friday and there were no problems.

Mind you, it's not here yet....
