As per title..

Already have a 5, pro-trek, the fossil beater, Hamilton khaki 44mm mechanical, Casio wave ceptor carbon face doofer (in bed and it's in the box) and some other bits and bobs..

Am open to suggestions... I like all sorts of things, have a bit if a penchant for retrograde indicators at the moment, but other than that the brief is open..

Links to watches for sale if you don't mind, I'm looking to click/spend in the next couple of days..

Cheers!

If you want something different, check out Werners Flying Watches. *goes for a late night browse*

I'd be looking at something from the Tao International range, more notably the Retrograde III in black with black PVD coating smile Automatic, display back and open heart feature with retrograde indicators all for around ~£65

The one above has styling cues (a 'sort of' homage!) to the Calibre De Cartier. The majority of Tao watches are a homage of other high end watches smile

I must admit that Tao are tempting..

Any other suggestions? Anyone got anything in the box that they want to flip (via PM of course)..

Friend of mine took delivery of the black faced model here http://www.taowatch.com/display.asp?id=75 last week, had a butcher's at it a few days ago and was quite impressed considering it cost him the grand sum of around £60. Nice weight, good quality face and even the strap (which can be a bit poor on these types of thing) seemed pretty sorted as well.

What else are you looking for? Does it have to be in the box (presumably brand new)? What size wrist/case are you interested in?

Doesn't need to be in a box or brand new.. Case size anywhere between 32-44mm (although would consider marginally larger).. Wrist size I'm not sure on, will measure later and post again..

Interested in all sorts really, although I have a B&R clone in my basket from Tao at the moment, haven't clicked checkout on that yet..

I will have to think as there was nothing I was eager to flip (that would fit you).
