My next watch

[a_dreamer]

I have lots of Swatch, gshocks, skagens and a few others in and around similar price points and a lovely Hamilton automatic.

I really do love my gshocks and they are my go to watch right now especially with the kids, the dog and working from home. However I would like something special but that is still an everyday watch

I saw this and really like it https://www.goldsmiths.co.uk/Breitling-Endurance-P... not realising that it's the cheapest watch breitling seem to do. It was seeing a similar style watch (but no idea what) on Brendan McCollum (England cricket coach) that made me look for something like that.

I also like the pepsi watches and tag do a nice one but I'm yet to see it in the flesh. I like Jürgen Klopps IWC as I love the face of it (the aquatimer he wore for a few years) but I'm not paying £8k.

I'm looking for inspiration, something with some colour would be nice but also something id be has happy wearing on holiday for a meal or by the pool as I would be in a formal setting.

As always, any help or guidances is always appreciated

An Omega Seamaster is quite special, I think, and certainly versatile.

Is that the sort of thing you mean?

If you like the piece, does it matter where it sits within the price range ?

No it was more the fact I'm not just looking for a cheap entry rather than not wanting that watch. I do like the seamsters as others have said

How about this Certina Coke

Pepsi (you can get a bracelet for it)

I can recommend Certina, great movement 80 hr power reserve gmt and 200m water resistance for your poolside activities. But it might be too cheap…so

I have the MPP Ti and a Waterman Bronze.

How expensive do you want to go?

My go-to for colourful watches is Farer. I love both of mine - a Bernina chronograph and a Bradfield pilot watch. For colour though, their new aquamatic may be hard to beat...

If you have a small wrist (I do) and are wedded to Breitling, their 36mm Superocean is very nice.

I'd say anything under £5k but that is a true state so from a couple of hundred up to £5k I guess.

It’s less expensive because it’s quartz.

If you like the Aquatimer why not get (a second hand one) one

https://www.chrono24.co.uk/iwc/iwc-aquatimer-chron...

https://www.chrono24.co.uk/iwc/iwc--iw376803----22...

You would have to allow 20% vat on these ones.

Something similar but different…
