21st Birthday

[chickenkebab]

Evening All.

Can any of you in the know suggest a watch for my 21st that isn't too old fashioned, something I can wear at work (Firm of Accountants) but also wear it day to day. It'll be a present from my Mum and Partner so budget is circa £500/600 although something at £350 and a Ferrari day is also an option!

Cheers

Tissot PRC200?



I think they're about £250ish.

It's a very rarely mentioned brand on here, but I'm going to go with this leftfield choice ... A Victorinox Airboss Mach 4

Keep in mind it's quite large at 45mm, but other than than it's loaded with features and uber-coolness for just over £500!





ETA: If I didn't have to change the clutch on my Elise, I'd be putting in an order for one of those now

The black Holotype is lovely, but discontinued

Longines Hydroconquest. A very handsome watch from a prostigious maker. The quartz version can be had for under £600 in blue or black.

Thanks for the replies guys. Given me some "food for thought".

Something from Hamilton?

If we're talking brand new, at this money it has to be the Hydroconquest - auto

For me, anyways..

I guess it depends on what "too old fashioned" means

Like that a lot. Its my 21st on the 24th November so better order something soon. Whats the general consensus on buying online/on the high street. Big savings?
