OK, a mate has asked me to find him a proper watch for 300 notes. Criteria he's set - metal strap, silver (no gold or bi colours), big and heavy.

He doesn't mind going second hand if it means him getting something really nice.

I'd like to have something Aeronautical about it (long story), and I'd like it to mark him out as a horologist, rather than someone who got lucky.

Can you get Bell & Ross's for that kind of money?

You could get a fake Bell & Ross for that, but why not look at Breil.

2nd hand Oris. Good ETA movement (the Briel posted above is a quartz movement).

Cheers Andrew, but he's gone for one of Mr Yellow Badges watches. And he'll be a very happy man!
