I've been considering one of these for a while and finally went to see one in the flesh today. It's a very nice watch, I like the retro feel to it, but I don't really like the reptile effect leather strap, it was a bit too shiney!

So I could get the Tissot and change the strap to a nicer brown leather one, but just wondered if there are any similar looking watches I should consider, budget up to about a grand. I tried on a lovely Oris, but at £1,300 it's a bit more than I want to pay.

The Tissot - £395



Oris Artelier Small Second Pointer Day Date - sadly over budget



Oris Artelier Date - cheaper alternative at about £850 but not seen it yet.

That Hamilton is very nice, but in the end decided to get the Visodate, got Goldsmiths to knock off £45 so girlfriend bought it for me, and at £350 I think it's a bit of a bargain. Will put that saving towards a new strap at some point, although actually happier with the standard strap than I thought I would be.

Good choice!

Just one question tho; I thought you had an internal clock, accurate to about +/- 5 mins? Why wear a watch?!
You are right, I have no need for a watch wink it's just for style haha
