Fancy a new watch....

[pmanson]

Hi All,

I'm on the look out for a new watch to go with my Pulsar dress watch (cheapy but looks good - black leather strap and silver face) and my Christopher Ward DBR1:




I can't quite decide between something like this:


(Christopher Ward Forum LE2009 - so i may struggle to get hold of one)

or a divers watch:




I also like this style:



But in this case i'm after a divers watch on a bracelet. Will be one to wear daily (alongside the DBR1).

Happy to look 2nd hand with a budget of £500-£700.

Top choice at the moment is the Longines Hydo-conquest but i'm open to suggestions:




Cheers,
Phill

My choice, as always in this region is this http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/OCEAN-One-Vintag... I love mine.

I do however prefer the non-Rolex/Omega/IWC homages of current models, all the microbrands make their own designs and they're very nice!

Wearing an M26 Tank in bronze from these guys http://www.anconwatches.com/models Came out at 514 quid and it's ace!

Also look at Helson and Armida for other ideas.

For that money I'd be tempted to try and find the older style Hydro Conquest...



Or for a sniff more, Dom H has a choro version... http://www.hackettwatches.com/hw/items/PART9HHJXY

Now that is very nice!

I really need to stop browsing the watch forum. *throws his wallet out of the window to avoid damage*

Phil, you have more chance of me buying a round of drinks down The Boot than you getting your hands on that CW FLE or C60 Pepsi.

Go for the Longines Hydro auto version (the one with the red bezel is quartz i think), an Oris Diver or a standard readily available C60 charcoal or black. There are rumours of a 10th anniversary C60 being released this year, but i don't know what colour/s it will be available in.

[Podie]

Don't know much about them. But have you seen the Ebel hat Dom has on his site?

Is it HydroConquest week or something?

Every week is Hydroconquest week

It's the watch equivalent to the MX-5; the answer to everything...

PRS68 from timefactors? £485

That's very nice Mike!

Greg, I meant to ask you is there a classified section on the CW forum? I looked but couldn't see one
