The under £200 watch thread!

Latest mod I’ve built, really happy with it, first time using an NH38 and it’s keeping great time.

Well i converted my points over to Amazon vouchers (£75) and begged/cajoled/bartered/threatened/whined my way to not one, but two Casio watches and a third watch box!!!

Like the strap, where is it from?

thanks

I bought one very similar from the uk eBay seller jonathans-direct for about £10.

I can recommend:

CousinsUK sell the same straps, worth going to if you’re getting a few bits…
https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/half-padded-smoo...
I have the red version.

I'm going to try Jonathan's as it is my name!
I need different straps in my life.
Currently I'm strapless barring the straps I have.
However, after Mrs TH's expeditions in recent days I may be strapped for cash!
Caveat: She knows nothing of my squirrel account. Thus everything is free?

My beloved Bmw M watch wasn’t under 200£ when new but certainly now, 2nd hand on ebay

Does the //M badge make it run faster?

Tempted. £63 on Amazon.

Nah, it's purely cosmetic.

There's no indication......

Well I know I'm definitely not getting a watch this Christmas, although one of my cheap Casio's is due next Thursday and my watch box is due Monday, is anyone else hoping/expecting a watch for Christmas?

[Regbuser]

Potentially bobbers, I did write a letter to Father Christmas, and have been a good boy..

I did drop a hint about one of these:

Definitely a watch, hopefully a new strap or two as well…one sleep left (not including a nap on the sofa this afternoon)

Excellent choice,I have one of these arriving Thursday!!

[Scrump]

I hinted at the black one as that seems to be the same as the one I had back in the ‘80s (or at least as I remember it). Not actually sure why I want it beyond it reminding of my old watch!

[blue_haddock]

Well the new strap has arrived for my Nike digital watch and considering how it's such an odd size it fits perfectly!

It's a cross between a nato and a bund with Velcro fastening.



It's a kahuna strap and I can remember having their watches when I was a kid!

Although this is much bigger!

[Drooles]

Just thought I’d wish all you good folks a very Merry Christmas

[Bobberoo]

Looks good that!!
And indeed a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you all!!!


I suppose I'd better start thinking about some new premises for the thread, something a bit bigger as I think we're starting to outgrow this one!!!
