    First Proper Watch - Advice Sought

    Hi,

    I started off wanting a diver - Omega Seamaster or Breitling Colt - have about £2000 - £2500 to spend.

    Having had quartz all my life, I wasn't sure whether I could live with the relative inaccuracy of an automatic so for the last couple of years I have been trying it out with a Seiko SKX007.

    Found that the accuracy doesn't both me that much (although my Seiko seems to be a very good example, within COSC standards), but what I decided I didn't like is the bulk and the weight. With the Seamaster and Colt being even chunkier and heavier I've decided to change direction.

    I don't like cluttered faces and I don't want a dress watch. I quite like the vintage style pilot or military watches.

    To give you some idea of what I like - I have been looking at the Tudor Heritage Ranger with leather strap.

    So two questions

    1) Is that Tudor any good? Must admit that I had only been vaguely aware of Tudor but understand that they are part of the Rolex group.

    2) What other watches of that ilk should I look at. I'm not that clued up on watch brands.

    Thanks for your help.

    Nigel
