New watch suggestions

[Odie]

My 8 year old Seiko kinetic is starting to get tired, so im feeling its time to get a new every day watch.

Ive had a look through various websites at Seikos, but im just not seeing anything i like. Ive got about £100 to spend.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Buy another Seiko - they are the best watches in the world in that price bracket.

Defo Seiko.

Could try something from Werners, of course.

A bit pricier than your budget, but this is a fantastic watch ...

Thats kinda funny as i was looking at a similar (without the gold i think) seiko Chrono titanium kinetic lastnight for £100, but i cant find it now.. The only watch i had seen that i found remotely interesting. Same shape and style

I had one for about 7 months and it was a very comfortable, light-weight watch that took knocks and scrapes well! I quite liked the gold highlights on the black face ... Personally the colour combination looks much better in reality rather than the computer generated shots

Any thoughts on that?

Looks great - I'm a fan of Werners, Nick seems to have some great quality watches for the price.....

[ShadownINja]

Not tried Estana but suspect you'll be pleased for the price. Not a fan of bright faces, myself, though.

It's a Davetona! To be fair that looks pretty decent for the money.

i had a look at the rotary last night and the build quality is crap, also had a look at the titanium seikos and found them to be a bit light, so im now going to look for a Seiko Stainless kinetic Chrono. Anyone recommend me one?

[sleep envy]

give me a week and I'll get back to you

On car-related PH fora, the answer is generally "You want an MX-5".

Here on the Watches forum, the equivalent answer is "You want a Seiko Orange Monster".

Free Googling lesson, with apologies if I am teaching you stuff you already know...

If you type in:

seiko orange monster site:.uk

you will get listings for .uk domain sites with any of the words seiko or orange or monster.

If you key in:

"seiko orange monster" site:.uk

you will get listings for .uk domain sites with the phrase seiko orange monster.

Happy hunting.
