Evening all,

I am looking at watches for the OH as a Christmas pressie.

We are doing some house stuff which is our gift to each other but I wanted to get her something to open on the day.

She isn't really into watches but could do with a new one and I spotted this,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Raymond-Weil-Tango-Ladies-...

what do people think? worth the money or not really?

Advice greatfully received,

BW

It may be almost half price but £500 is still a lot for a quartz watch. I suggest you either buy a £100 Seiko or double the budget and get a Longines or second hand Omega. Womens watches do not hold their value, if you're happy to go second hand you'll be amazed at what you can get.
Thanks MG,
I'll bear the above advice in mind.
Not sure the OH would like a preloved watch, although I agree it probably is a much better financial proposition. I don't fancy doubling the budget much though as it's really a little something to open on xmas day rather than a "main" present as such.

Thanks, I have found that sometimes taking the time to post on PH and then get a response avoids "one click purchase" on Amazon.

General feedback seems there is better to be had so I will keep looking,

Cheers,
