A first decent watch.

[cure]

Hello,

I am new to watches, and never really got any interest in them, but since a week or two they're very much on my mind. I guess the interest got sparked somehow.

I've been reading through some threads here, seen some gorgeous watches, but I still feel like I can't see the trees through the wood. (We say that in Belgium)

So, where do I start? Where do some watches get their value, what are the different mechanisms with their pro and cons, and so on.

I thought the Tissot V8 could have been a good watch to start, but I viewed one in the flesh and I found it a touch heavy to the eye. Where else should I look for a watch in this price range?



This Tudor is a watch I came across that I really really like, but does it have to cost that much to look this good?



Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure how much the Tissot watch is, but as no one else has replied, I'd suggest Longines and Oris, watches, they tend to be a bit more expensive than the Tissot autos, but less expensive than Tag/Omega/Rolex etc.
