Swiss automatic watch under £500?

[SmokingSideways]

Hi guys

I am looking for a Swiss automatic watch for under £500. I could stretch it to £1k for something real nice. I like sport style watches but I am open to other styles. I would prefer new but if I could get something a bit more special second hand then I will.

I look forward to your recommendations.

Best thing you can do, is look on chrono24 at the myriad of watch brands, many of which you’ll probably never heard of, and see what floats your boat.
A number of brands won’t be listed, so you’d need to search for them by name.
A few to get you started, and who have their own website/direct sales:
Steinhart
Pequignet (French)
Michel Herbelin

Happy researching.

I just went onto their website and there are so many brands I have never heard of. I will defiently be having a look around and see if anything catches my eye.
Is chrono24 like eBay for watches? Is it a good place to buy them?
