Which non-fashion Ladies Watch - circa £500

[kmpowell]

Looking for a good quality Circa £500 Steel/Silver coloured watch for the g/f who starts her new job next month.

It's got to be professional, and have an air of classic 'quality', not 'fashion'. First thoughts were something along the lines of these Raymond Weil's, which I'm sure I could get for about £500-£600 (given my Rolex buying history at my local AD! )...

... but I'm open to all suggestions if you have any alternatives?

Tissot
Hamilton
Gucci
Longines
All good brands, you could also try Rado and Ebel?

Thanks for that - I went to look at the Raymond Weil's at lunchtime, and to be honest they felt very flimsy, and looked very poor quality.

Perhaps upping the budget to a max of £1000 might give me a better choice.

I personally rate Longines, nice quality and not too expensive.
I've used these guys, great service with next day delivery having ordered at 4pm.

I just sold my wifes Ladies Omega Seamaster for £500, very nice understated watch which should hold it's money

I bought my wife a gold plated Longines in the Harrods sale about 12 years ago. Nice ladies watch - elegant, won't date, and didn't break the bank. For her 40th I upgraded her to a Tank Francaise but she still tends to use the Longine as a daily beater and it still looks good.
