Ideas, please

Hi folks,

There's a void in my watch life.

I've got 2 watches at the moment - a nice Raymond Weil (silver body, brown leather strap) for work and best; and a G-shock for camping/rough/outdoorsy stuff.

But I'm looking for an every day watch in between... the RW is too nice/posh for just wearing out and about - it makes me feel "dressed up" or "work" - and the G-shock is too big/chunky/clumsy for when I don't bashproof and waterproof.

I don't like "big" and I don't like "bling"... I like subtle, I'd have titanium grey over stainless every time. Not as thick and chunky as the G-shock! Time and maybe date only important functions. A bit of show-off or fun perfectly acceptable... exposed mechanism or non-standard time displays (maybe not as far as binary though!).

I've been looking around vaguely for a while but nothing's really grabbed me, so I've come seeking inspiration!

Budget: around 100 or so would be ideal - less is good, maybe double if I really like something.


Thanks in advance

Hmmm.... I really like the militare section ones... BUT 16mm (or 18.5 for some) thick?! I might as well wear the g-shock... it's 2 of my RW stuck together! Is this inevitable these days or will keeping looking pay off?

@jaybirduk - that gunmetal one is nice, a bit safe, but on the definately consider list. I'll see if I can find one similar locally to try on

Go to Creation Watches, look through the various Seikos and pick one. Solidly built, bazillions to choose from and cracking VFM.
