Hi guys

Following the demise of my Seiko kinetic I've narrowed my search for a new watch to a Citizen Eco drive but I can't decide between a leather strap or steel bracelet. I'm more used to steel but there is something really nice and smart about the leather strap. In addition I can't decide if one or the other would go better with the work suit etc?

In addition Nigel O'Hara has 25% off until midnight tonight! has anyone used them before?

Options;

1. Black leather

2. Brown/rose gold steel

3. Brown leather
http://m.nigelohara.com/product.aspx?productid=250...

4. Steel and gold

5. Black steel

Grateful for the advice, cheers!

Normally I'd say buy on the bracelet and buy a leather strap but with those models I don't see how you could swap as the bracelet models appear to be integral to the case

No experience with the dealer but try creation watches for a comparable price quote.

Thanks but unfortunately creation don't stock any of them. The discount only seems to be with that dealer currently.

No issues with Nigel O'Hara - they're a bricks and mortar shop in Northern Ireland. I've bought a premium g-shock off them before with no problems at all - v. speedy delivery too if I recall correctly.

They are a bricks and mortar shop, and pleasant enough when I spoke to them, about a watch listed at a price that was just too good to be true.
I suspect that was intentional, especially in light of some of the issues people have encountered when ordering from them – just look on Google and TZ-UK, before deciding on anything.
