Skagen thoughts

[paulrhodes]

I've got some Tesco's clubcard points sat doing nothing and a fancy a dress watch or at least something slim to go under a suit.

I'm looking for simple and classy rather than any fussy or chunky designs as I've got a Seiko Flightmaster for day to day, a Ward C40 Speedhawk for weekend and general non hacking wear.

Thoughts on this?

Alternatives from Goldsmiths would be welcome.

I've got a couple that I wear everyday - but buy them in the US, where most models are around $70.

You need to be able to pronounce Skagen - apparently it's "Skay-en".

The glass one mine developed a major crack after 6-7 months of normal use one morning out of the blue.

All I can think of that could have caused it, might be the couple of falls during a ski trip a month earlier. Strangley enough

there was no sign of damage to the glass at all prior to that point.

I assume you using it under normal conditions won't lead to the same problem

Mine have survived everyday use for several years. The glass on the older one is very clean other than one deep gouge which I've no idea how I did. Apparently Skagen will replace it for £20 although I guess it costs to get there and back. It was really becauuse of this that I bought an almost identical one last time I was in the US.
