The Lurkers Back smile

My previous thread was what everybodies thoughts are on a TAG Heuer F1, and on reading the thread made me think that there is something better out there.

So find me a watch.

I am very fussy, and listed below are my requirements.

Not to big, about 40mm max. (Have small wrists)
Not a Tissot.
I like some of the watches at Werners Flying Watches, but they seem all to be huge.
Do not mind if it is a quartz. (Awaits crucifiction)
I do like TAG Heuer.
Not a chrono.
Not dressy.
Prefer a bracelet rather than a strap.
Must be new.

Please find me a watch o'learned ones so I can proudly show it off on the Wrist Chech Thread for 2010.

Sorry Nolar, just looked on a UK site.

Another requirement, not off of ebay.

I'm really into Sea-Gull at the minute.

How about their M163S-21? Well inside budget and change for a Monster too? biggrin

Where does everybody find these watches. I must lead a sheltered life. Excellent choices so far. Keep looking.

I do like the Oris.

Have a look at Christoper Wards site. You will find something there within budget and a great watch as well

Now liking this, located their web site but doesn't list any retailers and no option to buy on line. Any pointers?

Ta.

The US site now appears to be "Under Construction" so you can't buy from there either. frown

I'd be considering one (maybe two!) of these at that budget:

The CW watches look very nice, but at 42mm they may be a bit big for my wrist.

Are they direct order of do they have any retailers?

Hamilton Khaki King Scuba - I paid about £370 from Fraser Hart. Could probably be sourced cheaper online.



40mm excluding crown.
