Best watch for around 600

Id be looking at a larger (of the two sizes) Longines Hydroconquest automatic. Youll have to put a few pounds to, but it provides far better value than CW watches, whose price just rises and rises...
Mm. As much as I like them (I've handled a couple of watches and have nothing bad to say about them), I just couldn't bring myself to pay the current prices. Perhaps their mistake was selling them so cheaply in the first place?jonny70 said:

I like longines also but I am trying to keep to my budget and they are a bit more than 600 unless someone can show me otherwise! 
There was a time when a Gucci watch was where it started and ended for me. I was 16-18yrs old and a number of friends had all bought something similar. I knew little about decent watches (nor did they!)and only Gucci and Rolex were on my radar.
They spent £500-odd on Gucci and I saved for a Rolex, which was more, put pitifully cheap compared to todays comedy prices - actually I saved for a Gucci but by the time I had enough Id already decided thata a Date was where it was at for me. It seemed like a better buy for not that much more. I struck out on my own and didnt get the Rolex, but I did buy a TAG Heuer 4000 bi-colour automatic in 1991, before their new found, new money popularity and Ive been actively interested in and learning about watches ever since.
Gucci isnt what Id have chosen; certainly not since 1988!
