The under £200 watch thread!

[Monsterlime]

I have one in my cart, but I just had shipping confirmation on my Zelos Hammerhead. Can I really justify it!?

Would likely get the clasp JOMW recommended as well.

Now you know very well that's a silly question to ask here!!!

[Monsterlime]

Damned peer pressure!

I’ve just ordered 12 NATO straps off Amazon. I’m not sure why... I put them on a watch for a couple of days and then remember I prefer leather or rubber. I think this thread is dangerous!

Good work.

This Ali bracelet is all brushed and it suits it down to a tee I think. If it tapered down to 18mm it would be better for me.

Get yourself onto AliExpress and order 12 rubber and silicon straps to make up for it.
You'll save a good few quid as well

The scary thing is, I’m now thinking that’s a great idea. You can never have too many straps...

I have probably got 100+
Swapping straps is like having a new watch.

I'll just leave this here, I didn't buy it, my amazing wife did as a thank you for all the work I did on her mums flat.
It's massively over budget.......

Agreed. You can’t just show us the box. Ha ha

[Bobberoo]

Ha ha!!! Well it's a Ltd Edition Citizen Promasyer Tsuno Bullhead, No 2/1973, bought as I said as a thank you from my gorgeous wife, I originally wanted the black and gold version which is on offer as I said a couple of days ago, however we went into H.Samuels today, saw this version in black and green and both of us preferred it to the black/gold combination, they kindly took £95 off so my wife paid £600.
Couple more quick pics.

What an interesting watch. What is the history behind it?

[Bobberoo]

It's an homage to the original 1973 Citizen Bullhead only utilising the latest Eco Drive technology, each watch is hand assembled and numbered, the two colours are limited to 1,973 pieces between the colours and are already out of stock with Citizen, I'd been looking at Eco Drives and seen the black/gold on offer, Mrs Bobbers banned me from buying anymore watches a couple of months ago, I thought it was because she had had enough of me buying them, but no it was because she wanted to get me something special as a thank you for all the work I'd done.

[Barchettaman]

That’s an absolute cracker there Bobbers.

[Bobberoo]

Thanks chaps, i was blown away when i put it on and she said how much she liked the colour compared to the black/gold combo, she then just said "we'll take it thanks..........", i asked if there was any movement in the price and the manager knocked £95 off, i absolutely love it!!!
