2 watches going, time for something else. Grail watch?

[Phoenix]

Finally took the plunge and sold my Tag Heuer Kirium - seems to be no love for these watches and since mine was serviced a few years ago I have never taken it back out of the box. It was my first 'proper' watch back in 1999 and served me well for a number of years. Time to move on.

Also gone is my Christopher Ward C7 Rapide, I really liked a lot of things about this watch, but never fell in love with it.


I have a G-Shock for every day use, and a Parnis for smarter days, with another G-Shock on the way.

I have just started looking around to get some ideas. I am really falling for some of the classic Heuer watches



I guess these will be quite expensive but no harm in looking and dreaming. Failing that I have always been tempted by a Speedy or a Tag Heuer Carrera.

On the other hand maybe I should set my sites a bit lower and look for something interesting under £700. Sensible option says I should buy a Seiko 5 and stop looking, but where's the fun in that.

Any suggestions much appreciated as there a probably loads of similar options that I am unaware of at this point in time.

Used Sinn 356 from chrono24 it there are any listed?

[Phoenix]

Good call on the Sinn 356, for some reason I never realised that they were in that sort of price range.

Comparing the Sinn to the current Tag Heuer Carrera, In my eyes the Sinn is so much easier and clearer to see the time at a very quick glance.

Any other sites worth keeping an eye on for pre-owned ones?


edited to correct spelling yet again!

Chronomaster normally has some s/h stock I think, watchrecon and elitedealseeker are agglomeration websites for sales forums.

Many thanks for the links. Current thinking is that a Sinn 356 is the way to go.

Easy on the eye. Not so well known and a bit more subtle in my opinion.
