My last purchase was a few months ago now and being a bit addicted to this watch buying game I'm thinking about the next watch to add to my very modest collection.

So far my collection includes

An orange monster,

A Casio sea pathfinder, this is 54mm at it's widest


A GMT watch from Werners


I've also got an accurist and citizen eco drive chrono's.

I'm not sure which watch to go for next, i'm thinking possibly a traser classic chrono big date pro or a Sunnto core





Does anyone have any other suggestions? I don't really want to go over £300 but I don't mind stretching the budget a bit if the right watch comes along.

Thanks all.

Nice collection

I recently picked up a second hand cwc mechanical chrono for £200 odd and the watch is great VFM and worth considering with your budget.

Cheers

I would agree. You can find some nice used and vintage models in that price range from quality brands.

Read up on the Suunto Core - a fair few have had problems, it is what put me off changing my x-lander.

As above - you've got a nice bunch there but I'd be tempted to have a rake about for something older, vintage or s/h.

Cheers guys, second hand crossed my mind but does anyone have any recommendations of where to look? I'm not a member of TZ UK and I'm not too keen on Ebay.

TZ is a good place for secondhand watches and caters for all budgets.
Avoid ebay if i were you.

Try and get registered or watchuseek i think is another forum although i am not a member.
