£250, what to get ?

[cirian75]

preferable solar or kinetic powered.

I find autos a PITA.

what to choose?

[Pints]

Probably a Citizen EcoDrive

The Citizen Eco Drive Promaster GMT doesn't look a bad watch.

Following my last purchase Mrs T6 has banned further purchases therefore my 20yr odd Seiko auto daily is in the jewellers for a service

I saw this bad boy in the window and thought yes..


Never had a problem with my Seiko & have a 10Yr old Ecodrive that again runs faultlessly
At £250 the world is your oyster

There's a lot of models and variants

[cirian75]

All nice choices

Leaning towards a seiko diver style

Or a high end ProTrek/G-Shock

Keep em coming, you might just come in with a left field choice.

Thanks for the heads-up on Laco. My wife wants to buy me a watch for my birthday but I didn't want to spend the sort of money she had in mind plus I was keen to avoid the obvious brand names and choices.

I found this thread and headed over to the Laco site where there are some very nice understated designs. I can see myself getting a few of these in future. I chose this:

Oh dear

My bank balance appears to be very healthy and its payday tomorrow.

Time to put my money where my mouth is time.

Just bought this Eco drive Skyhawk Blue Angel. $315 from Joma Shop. Looks great. I have another Eco drive that I wear a lot, keeps perfect time, much better than my Breitling.

Absolutely no idea what they're like but they look nice.



As for creation, used them a few times and they've been fine.

I've purchased stuff from them before.

Good service and genuine.

I'd suggest have a look at Scurfa.

Quartz but half your budget and they have some great features for the price.
