The under £200 watch thread!

[bingybongy]

I know, it's not a watch but quite a cool bedside/desk clock. £15.
Mrs bb just sighed and gave a small shake of the head

I love it. Surely your missus might like it if you could time yourself, obviously with the aim being longer (and longer)!

I want a Bulova Lunar Pilot.

Possible to get one new for under 200 pounds?

I'd say it's unlikely. I got my black onen for £269 in a sale and with an extra discount code on it.

Unless Creation Watches have a special deal on I honestly doubt it, most are coming up as £400+.

I got one in July for about £330 on Amazon (global store).
They've now increased in price considerably.
Jomashop had some at a similar price.

Can't multiquote on a phone. At least I can't.
In answer, I doubt it.

Not a chance I would have thought.

I got my black one from Costco for £299 which is probably hard to beat. They haven't had any more in since I bought the one on display though.

Edit - Damn, just seen that Greendubber beat me

Ha ha, if he can only manage 14 min then forget it!!

[Bobberoo99]

I think you're being very unkind, it's very nearly 15 minutes!!!!

Thanks all for the input on Bulova Lunar Pilot prices.

Maybe I'll keep an eye out for the 300 pounds mark then.

The Lunar Pilot is Seiko Prospex money, and I have no experience with Bulova, but I do love the design of the watch and I do want one.

Is the Bulova a good buy for it's price tag?

Well as a Bulova owner I'm biased, but it's now owned by Citizen and the quality and feel I think is very good, I personally think they make some lovely looking watches, I've been looking at a 98A156 Curv today, I really like the look of it and as I say the build quality of my Adventurer is great!!!

Try one on , the Bulova lunar is an big watch and i found mine uncomfortable and unwieldy on the wrist only worenit a few times before selling it but it did convince me to buy a speedy instead which I love

[Greendubber]

I have the black one and I love it. Great quality, keeps the best time out of all my watches and the strap is a really nice leather NATO type strap.

I have a Seiko turtle and I'd say the Bulova is nicer finished and better quality. Its heavy though so as suggested try one on.

Do the collective think these might make it into thread budget by the time rrp is ignored and the prices level out???

Anyone know when these will become available?

They are very nice, living the new 5 logo, much better looking.

My planet ocean paulareis homage arrived Friday.

I like the watch but the strap is pretty crap, rubber is way too stiff and I don't like the clasp so I've ordered a black, grey and orange nato and I think it'll work better.

Greendubber that Bulova is gorgeous!!!
