The Under £200ish Watch and occasional Opera Thread! Vol2
Discussion
I think San Martin have some bright new colours for their 39mm BB58 - I don't really like GMTs and they are a PITA to set when you swap watches regularly and don't have a winder thing, but I am tempted... lol

The green and blue versions are almost understated!

Mrs gave me this watch many years ago and it has spent at least three years sitting in an old wooden box with a broken strap stopped dead. Sentiment being a funny thing, it's now got a new strap, a new battery and has been back on my wrist for a week or so...the cheapo replacement parts and getting the strap altered probably cost more than the watch did all those years ago, but it's been a faithful friend...

Excellent work. I saw your other posts and was hoping you'd share the finished product. It looks great, and like most things in life worth cherishing, the value is in what it means to you. Wear in good health, fella! Any thoughts on Boldr watches please?
Great looking and decent value, my only reservation is they maybe a little small on the wrist.

I’ve had my Venture Titanium for around five years and it’s been a great watch. It does wear small, particularly if you’ve been wearing a diver for a while, but after a few hours I’ve always got used to it.
It has 200m water resistance which gives me a bit of peace of mind over my other field watch (Hamilton) that only has 50m.
It’s well made and versatile. Looks good on a variety of straps. The only gripe is it has a date click when you pull out the crown but no date to set - a minor point and I’m being fussy.
Overall, I really like mine and it came in at thread budget.
Should also add, the box it came in was fantastic too

Really suits both of those straps. Gotta say, think I prefer the red. I'd usually hate it but it contrasts the dark colour nicely. Would have to see it in the sun to be sure.
I live in Wales, so there may be a wait for that photo! I've had quite a few compliments on it, to be fair

I was watching Jaws last night for the 1000th time, and spotted Richard Dreyfuss's watch, very cool thing, and available as a reissue. But €695 with a NH35 movement?Behave!
At 38mm by 15.1mm tall I’m not sure how nice it would be to wear, either. Those dimensions wouldn’t work for me at all. Edited by redrabbit on Sunday 24th March 01:41
Anyway, some lovely watches on this page as always. NZ looks delightful. I must go one day.

What happened to your Tisell GMT from a few weeks back? I'd be interested in the Tisell and your views.Anyway, some lovely watches on this page as always. NZ looks delightful. I must go one day.
