Watch Recommendation

[amirzed]

Hey Watch people,

Need a watch for £1500ish, been looking round and found a few nice ones, mostly Tag ones, I didn't get seem to like the Raymond Veil or Omega ones much. I really don't know where to start as all I did was go to some of the bigger shops and see what they had, i'm looking for something smart and maybe slightly bling? My last watch was a G Shock bought 14 years ago so as you can see I don't even know where to begin!

I had a read at a few threads here about where to get them from away from the high street, so I wanted to know...

any recomendations for a watch? (or even some other brands at that price point)
any PH friendly recommended watch retailers?

I've never understood threads like this, it's a bit like saying 'I need a car for £40k - help'.

Anyway, for £1500 I'd get a Seiko MM300 (SBDX001). Might not be blingy enough though..

getting married, wifes family are buying me a watch which I have to choose and won't take no for an answer, told it should be £1500ish, i don't know mich about watches plus i'm on a time limit.

so it's exactly like 'car for 40k-help' - i never understand those threads either

good suggestion buddy i'll have a look into that, looks nice, cheers

Well, I would go for something like a Sinn 856 UTC... solid watch, good tech, under £1500... plus a strap from the likes of Toshi et al to 'personalise' it a bit for the in-laws benefit.

But it really does depend on what you like, there's not much to work with

I'd agree with Sinn

You'll not get a much better looking watch for the money and this is only just a smidge over a grand.

Don't agree with that at all, I love seeing other peoples recommendations, gives you some great eye candy that you may not have previously considered.
