Decided it's time for a new watch.

[shameless plug]My Hercules is for sale here - http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1397877.htm [/shameless plug]

Considering these:









My budget is £2-3k.

Any other suggestions?

I know what you mean about the DC - I've owned a couple of Seamaster pros and loved them. I want to go back to a simpler looking watch than my current Brietling, want good luminosity, clear hands and hour amrkers.

I know the Diver Chrono is a bit "busier" but I tried one when I got my Hercules and it really is a lovely thing.

That Sinn is very nice indeed. Idea on price?

Not sure a brand new Sub will be in my price range, it is a handsome bugger of a thing - a real icon.

Speaking of which... Anyone know the difference between the Submariner and the Sea Dweller? confused

Lefty,

I've just my Speedie and replaced with a very nice Sinn 144 GMT. I was really surprised at the quality of the Sinn and am delighted with it. They're certainly worth a look. I have a Sub LV too which is nice but I feel its a totally different watch to anything else I have.

If it were my money and going with the list you've put up the the PO with orange markers wins for me. I have a friend who had one and i'm gutted he sold without telling me first!

As you're local to me i'd always be happy for a chat about watches if you fancied?

Cheers

James
Funny you should say that, there's a thread in the Scotland forum about a local christmas beer night before Christmas... Enthusiasm for it hasn't been overwhelming though!

The Sinn is towards the top end of your price range, £2,945 from http://www.chronomaster.co.uk/sinn_u_series.htm although Jura do them too...
Hmmm.

Some very nice watches there.

Sold my Hercules so the hunt is on!

Going to call a couple of the local AD's tomorrow. Would love a seadweller but finding one for around the 2k mark is going to be very hard frown Even subs seem a good bit more. 2.5k is probably my top whack.
