Watch Suggestions £2-3k
Discussion
Hi,
I'm looking to get myself a new watch. I really have very little idea about watches and so I'm looking for advice from you guys. I've always admired the Omega Seamaster from the shop window and more recently the Speedmaster. I also like some of the less garish Brietlings.
My requirements are:
1) I'd prefer a slightly chunkier looking watch with metallic strap and possibly a black face.
2) It can't be too large because my wrists are quite girly.
3) I'd like it to be something that has an understated class and also a timeless design.
I've seen some special editions such as Schumacher, Apollo and Bond. Are these worthwhile buys or just a bit gimmicky?
Sorry for my complete lack of knowledge, but you have to start somewhere.
Thanks

I know you're keen on it Soov, but he has little wrists, and pics like that are going to scare the man into thinking these watches are too big!

Ha ha. Brilliant!
I'll go and try them both on. I also like the look of the Breitling Blackbird as well, but it looks like it might be huge!
Does anyone know any good places that do interest free credit. I'd be a fool not to take advantage.
Thanks
I've just looked at the Chrono Avenger M1 on www.watches.co.uk. Looks really nice. It seems reasonable at £1395 for a 2004 model. Looks aside, is it a wise purchase as well?
WRT to the P.O. 2210, that's almost £1200 for a stopwatch! I'd prefer a smaller one anyway. Jesus, I've just checked the prices in the states. I've found the PO at around £600 less!

I'm straying towards buying both the Avenger and the 42.5mm PO at the moment.
Thanks for all of the advice. Please keep it coming.

Well I know you won't regret the latter, the only people who have not got on with it have bought it in orange. Mine like the above is a lot easier to live with. Love it
