OK, i have the above burning a hole in my pocket.

I have already;

Heur Monaco '98 Re-edition
Rolex GMT II
TW Steel as a daily wearer (dont ps off the clients watch)

I want something fairly understanded, but classy and not Gold

I dont want an Omega.

So, over to you guys, can be new or used.

Have you a preference for chrono/non-chrono?

Sorry to be the one to bang the drum, but Sinn is the first place I'd look for a modern watch. I'd have a look back at some older classics at that price as well. Seriously.
If you're not sure what is around then have a look through Neils vintage stock while you're leafing through the basic but simple Chronomaster/Sinn website.

(ETA confused )

Can you get a second hand Speedmaster Pro or Zenith El Primero for £1500? I'd love either (or both) of those.
