Hi,

My first foray in the Watch Forum, so not a Watch fan as such, but i would like a nice everyday timepiece and like the look of the Tissot (as linked)... keen to hear experience/feedback/value/alternatives etc.

Think £4-500 will be my limit, which is the most i have spent on a watch, as historically they have endured some rough times!

They're very well liked on here, for good reason.

Buy and enjoy would be my advice.

Think the Hamilton Khaki comes in about that price range and, of course, your options open up a lot if you're willing to go second hand.

So true, I've only had one watch for past 10 years. In the last 12 months I'm up to 3 with another on the way!

I have one that I have been thinking of selling for a little while. Bought new in April 2009 and worn very lightly at work (desk job so some desk diver marks).

Haven't quite got the required post count on TZ-UK to list on there but have references for buying and selling there previously.

Looking for £320 inc rmsd. Let me know if it's of any interest.

Mark.

Don't reckon you can go wrong with something like that for the money! I say go for it! And not to crap on the above posters advert but you can get a brand new one from Creation Watches for £322 delivered to your door using FedEx:

Should have mentioned that mine is the chrono but probably better that I just put it in the classifieds.

I've had the quartz version for 8 years, its been faultless and very hard wearing. I probably should appreciate it more..

I've recently replaced it with another Tissot

Well i recieved my Tissot PRC 200 today and i'm impressed with the speedy delivery up to Aberdeen, but sadly the Watch is a disappointment in the flesh, mainly because the face is much smaller than i anticipated, so will see if WatchHut will consider and exchange, not sure what though!
