Help me find a small green watch

[Mr_C]

Seiko SARB017 if you can find one.

They all seem rather pricey these days.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm fancying something with a bit of green on too.. maybe motorsports inspired and on the brighter side of green (or with green accents). Kind of a well done to myself for buying my first 911 (which has green bits on it!).

I quite like the idea of a Tag Heuer but none of the current range is leaping out at me. I've got an old green Tag Formula 1 from when I was a kid but it looks tiny on me and the bezel is totally faded out.

Any other ideas on motorsport or dive watches with a bit of green on them? Probably 39mm upwards.

You should start you're own thread Gregd... could be interesting:

Things that 'spring' to mind are:

Frederic Constantin 'Healy'



Breitling TopTime



Duckworth Prestex?



Or a whole range of budget options at Omologato



Really what you need is Rolex Daytona

Have a bit of a soft spot for Ball watches, incredible lume on them

OP here

Love those Ball watches, but can't wear them at 41mm or 43mm if I could have that between 36mm and 38mm I would buy it right now.

This is my problem why can't watch manufacturers build a 41mm also at 38mm? If Omega built a green wave dial Seamaster at 38mm without the helium valve, 100m to 200m resistance and a 1mm thinner for me job jobbed. It is frustrating that size has become such a manly thing.

How about a PRX?
Remake of a watch they did in the '70s, very high quality for the money, and an ancient Swiss brand nonetheless.
I have the automatic, but the vfm of the quartz is off the charts imho (saying this as a Seiko fanboy)
Oh and they do a 35mm one.

This or the Tissot would be my top pic indeed.

OP here, finally a year later I might be getting there, I know I take my time...

Please does anyone own or have experience of the CW Dune in green?

If you do please could you post your views on the watch.

Many thanks

Mrs O and I visited the Chris Ward showroom a few weeks back, and came away with one each. Dune bronze for me, and Celest for her. I only tried it on for quality assurance, obviously…




ETA: not sure why the images uploaded in potato quality, I’ve tried more than once to get them higher resolution
