Watch present ideas

[wjwren]

Girlfriend looking to buy me a watch for christmas. Around £200 mark. Any ideas. I like the armani and Police style but any recommendations please. I take it most of these fashion watches are made in China etc?

but you'd struggle to get one for £200.

I'd be going for a seiko SKX from creation myself.

Agreed and there are other Seiko's from Creation at that price point. Consider a solar (or Citizen eco drive) too I think they are fantastic plus no worries about setting winding or service.

It's all very personal, but for a while I've been hankering after a vintage Rado, like this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-OLD-STOCK-BOXED-VIN...f:0

+1 Citizen Eco Drive for an unburstable solar powered forever watch. With £300 you can get an Atomic, that grabs milisecond accurate time via radio every night. I love mine!

Only problem with Creation is they ship from Japan / China (?) so may not get here by Christmas.
