1982 Birth Watch Ideas £150 tops

[gentlemangreen]

All,

I will be celebrating my 30th this March and the wife has asked for gift ideas.

I love watches but I've never been one for extravagant gifts hence the £150 budget.

I am in dream land expecting a decent time piece from this era for this cost?

Suggestions and links would be hugely appreciated.

Determining the actual year would be the hardest part I suppose, as people tend to guess them with a few years.

So many really, Seiko would be a good safe bet, though so would Timex, Tissot, even Bulova or Longines. Another hundred or two could get you an Omega, though it wouldn't necessarily be perfect.

If it was me, I'd be going Russian: Poljot, Vostok or a nice 24 hour Raketa and spend the change on lots of beer.
