The under £200 watch thread!

Oohhh you bugger, they are lovely!!! Really like the all black with the metal linked strap, currently watching a rather nice Seiko, if that goes to too much I'll look into these instead!! Thanks for the posts, keep it up!

How do you get on with the slow watch? I really like the idea, but it felt cheap and poorly finished when I tried one.
Have they improved?

Nice watch hilly, I finally found a blue faced watch I really like, in fact Mrs Bobbers found it and insisted I buy it despite being watch number 6, in budget and reduced to £115.50 from £160!! Rather pleased with it!!

That’s nice Blobbers

Thanks hilly, i was looking at a blue face Seiko, mainly as i was feeling left out from the Seiko appreciation society , but Mrs Bobbers didn't really like it so while we were out spending huge sums of money on yet more clothes buying just a couple of things, she spotted it and insisted i buy it, i must admit i prefer it's looks to the Seiko!! I do like that Invicta of yours, i think they're quite underrated and look to be very good value for money!!

My wife is getting me one of these for my birthday. I'd never considered one until your pic!

Had one for 8 years, ran without a service.
Lived it, was my first and only automatic for many years.

Retail £310, with discount code £152.

Now that's a great bargain!!!!

My little collection. In a Lidl tea caddy for extra ph points! Significant ph points deductions for the lack of any 4 figure watches though. In fact there are barely any 3 figure ones in there! I’ve got a couple of poljots, a couple of skagens (as a Dane, please please please pronounce this scayen rather than skaaagen!!), an oozoo (which I absolutely adored, right up to the moment the second hand fell off!!) a seiko and a rotary.

Welcome nadger!! Nice collection you have there and thanks for the correction, I've been saying "Skagen" not "Scayen" ever since I saw one!!!!

Ha ha, thanks Bobberoo! Don’t worry, I think almost everyone does! I’ll forgive you! ;-)

No daimlerV8 it's not cheating at all, it's how much the initial purchase is, repairs are acceptable!!

That's an elegant looking watch you have there, goes well with the hairy wrist!!!

That's the only drawback of taking worn photos.
At least you have the chance of cancer experts saying "oooh thats a nasty mole, get it checked out"

Agreed. Really nice watch.

[cootuk]

Heavily corroded case, but my perfect style dial. £15 off ebay and keeping time spot on

[CharlesdeGaulle]

cootuk - I really like the stuff you're buying. Next time you see something nice, please let me know so I can buy it before you do. Thankyouverymuch.

[Bobberoo99]

You really do find some very interesting stuff cootuk, do you just browse until something takes your fancy or do you know exactly what you're looking for?
