Cheap decent watch?

[Seany88]

Hi all, am after a nice classy watch, preferably stainless steel that I can where on most occasions including work. Not too chunky to fit under my shirt cuffs, also liking square designs at the moment if possible. Any suggestions?

I'm looking to spend around £200 (or possibly more if its worthwhile), and it needs to be a day-to-day watch. How much do you think I could get a second-hand Omega Speedmaster for? Me likes a lot!

I like this one, wat do you guys think? £400, bit over budget but looks similar to the Omega

Actually, does anyone know anything about Marcello C – Nettuno Divers Wristwatch? Looks nice also

Marcello C is a good company. The only problem with them is that their designs aren't really original, its a company that produces homage watches of popularly known designs such as the Rolex Submariner in this case. They are good quality, but unoriginal.

In your previous post, you mentioned you like the Seamaster. So why not save up for one instead of these homages. Infact, I am not sure about the exchange rate between England and US(New Yorker here), but second hand Seamasters can be found here for around $800.

Yes, they are remarkably similar in design! I did notice that on www.glooks.com you can get a seamaster for $1241...which at the current exchange rate is about £600 right? Just gotta find someone to go and get it me now!

And thanks for the other suggestions, I do like the style of the Briel watches, though I don't think i'll be quite satisfied without the Omega on my wrist! Hope I don't sound snobby though, but I want a watch to mark a step in life.
