150 pounds to spend, reccomendations please

[Stubbsy]

As the title says got 150 budget and looking for some inspiration!
Dress watch or sporty watch is fine I don't really have any set criteria/specific in mind and it can also be pre owned so open to suggestions.

At that price you're probably best off with a Seiko automatic. With a few minutes browsing the Creation Watches website you should find something you like. The Seiko Monster range seem popular with everyone. Here's a gratuitous picture of mine (£110 IIRC), which has been great so far:



I quite like the look of this: http://www.creationwatches.com/products/seiko-dive...

Slightly more gets you a Precista PRS-18 or if that's not possible, as others have said a Seiko SKX

Good call - there are a few on timefactors which would be good and more exclusive for a slightly larger budget : Smiths Everest , PRS18, etc.

If 150 strict budget - I would be looking at Seiko.

Good choice ... The BFKs are really well finished with good bracelets and look great with either Pepsi face like yours - or yellow face ( hard to find).

BFK = Big F^^^^^^ Kinetic.
