That's it really, looking to treat myself to a nice piece shortly. Been looking at a few threads/sites and still not too sure. Nothing amazing or flash, just a good solid everyday watch.
Preferably a metal bracelet as i've had alot of hassle with my current watch strap snapping and i've had enough. Black metal would be a bonus.
Modern looking face, square or round.

Quite like a couple of the TW Steel watches, they fit into my price bracket, i've got big wrists so the size is quite appealing, but there's something not quite right...are they a good buy? I had never heard of them until recently. Seen a couple smart looking Breil/Tissot ones too.

Anyway, over to you...

Buy an Omega Seamaster Quartz on ebay for about £500 (The Bond style watch)

You might even get an automatic for around that if you are lucky. Very well made and a timeless classic.

I agree with Wadeski if you want a reliable solid watch that can take anything. Look at the whole Seiko range from the Monster (about £140 on Ebay) upwards. The Prospex range fit into your budget and can be seen and bought here:-

This one is black too if it is really what you want:-

There are lots of watches out there but none to beat
Seiko on quality and price.
