Fancy a Challenge?

[Ikemi]

My Dad has agreed to buy my Mum a nice watch later this year. My Mum has found a watch that she really likes, but unfortunately it's a Cartier Panthere in 18ct Gold ... It's a little over budget!

The challenge is, is there a watch available that is similar to the Panthere, but with a smaller price tag? It can either be quartz or automatic, it can be second hand, it has to be gold (plated/9ct etc, not bi-metal) and the budget is anywhere up to about £1000

This is the Cartier:



Can you find anything similar?

Cheers!

A bit over at £1300: http://www.jurawatches.co.uk/maurice-lacroix-fiaba...

Slightly over but gold/ceramic: http://www.jurawatches.co.uk/rado-integral-ladies-...

You might struggle if new.

Only problem is it's on a strap which changes the appearance so may not be what she wants...

There's 3 Armarni watches on the goldsmiths website that are similar, however Armarni are not exactly fine watchmakers!

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Spice Weasel, good call on the JLC! I didn't think one would be attainable at such a budget! I'll have to check regarding strap, but I will state the obvious (well, to us!) importance of the brand in comparison to others ...

The ML looks good too - I found this via your link, which looks similar, but at a lower price:

If you like the Jaeger, there are loads of Cartiers available for £5-600.
