The under £200 watch thread!

[Bobberoo99]

I really like that, looks very chunky and well made!!

That's a bit concerning about that Euro tunnel watch, makes you wonder if the same can be said for the tunnel it's self?!?!?!

That'll be popular in the wrist check thread....

My new watch has arrived, and to say I'm pleased is an understatement, two boxes ticked in one watch, Seiko and green faced/bezel, brand new £150.99!!!!

Can I please ask where did you get it from? Cheers.

Popped up on Amazon at that price, unfortunately no longer available for that, First-class watches have it for £192 with a code for another 10% off!!!

Thanks.

Just ordered one from First Class Watches for £192 with the 10% discount.. need a temp watch whilst my quartz Tag is away for a few weeks.

Looks fantastic watch for the price.

There is one on eBay for £150 but it comes from Switzerland, so I would imagine that there will be import duty to pay?

Is Switzerland not in a customs union with the EU?
I could be wrong.
Just checked I am wrong

This one is actually a bit naughty as the lock-down crown and Marina Militare are Panerai patents/trademarks.

It keeps excellent time.

Can you give a link to the seller.

No problem. worldsky2016

Fast shipping, arrived in a couple of weeks without any hassle from customs.

The watch is running +3 secs/day.

Highly recommended!

It looks fantastic but it's just too big for me. I could cope with the 44mm width but 17mm high is just too much for me. It would dwarf my gshocks.

[Barchettaman]

Yeah, it is pretty chunky. Mine is 16.2mm thick. It doesn’t feel too big however as the leather strap saves weight compared to a steel bracelet, and also the glass tapers off into the case.

I wouldn’t necessarily disregard it going on the dimensions alone- it ‘feels’ a bit smaller when worn.

[Fallingup]

It's a lovely looking watch, and I'm sorely tempted, but no. I couldn't cope with the size. Must stop looking at replicas on ebay. It's an addiction. I will go back to trawling for old Seiko's and Vostoks.

£11 how the hell did you find that for that price?!?!?

ION decided to give this some "wrist time" I don't wear it that often but I don't know why.
