Ideas please for a watch

[str1nger]

Budget = approx £400/£500
What I want: White faced watch, smart (possibly a diver, but not sure).
Must be 2nd Hand

Ideas so far:

Fortis B42 Marine master
Stowa Marine Original

Has anyone else got any recommendations as to which one to get, or any other watch they think I might like.

Cheers

How about a nice Seiko Alpinist? It is 200m WR and the white dialled model looks superb.

Curve ball here - new, but cheap (and quartz), but classically clean lines... a Mondaine

Glycine are also a good bet, I've got one of these but in black - about £300 new...

Failing that, a Fortis for a more rugged look (not sure your budget will stretch to a B42 though), or Stowa for more classical are both good choices.

Darren beat me to it, was going to suggest the Mondaine myself, but I prefer it with the bracelet.

This one's looking pretty good

A DA37 for £400-£500 i'll have one of them :D

[gee-whizz]

I just picked up a RADO original auto from the sales forum for under £300.
Very nice.
Or if you want to make a statement with a big watch I would look at
TW STEEL. I like them anyway, Automatic only of course with 50mm face :lol:

Mmmmmm... that Tutima looks fab

Cant believe no-one has suggested this yet , seriously Mike this is the one.

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy.

Rolex.

Buy a secondhand Rolex Precision and keep it. It'll always be a classic and you'll never regret the buy.

Chronomaster has several.

somehow i think the rolex is out of my price range, as for the speedbird III i dont like the square hands. I much prefer the SBII's hands. I like the look of all the watches mentioned but i still do not know which one to get. I need something smart and I also need £160 to get myself an expedition watch possibly the suunto core.

Anyone think of any more watches?

Cheers

What about Dads Rolly, I think he would accept about £400 for it. However, when I get some funds together I will have it, so forget I ever mentioned it. :evil: Get the Suunto :lol:

Im not having a skanky gold rolex with gold plating, im too young to have gold!

How much would that go for on here anyway?
see picture in previous post.

Fortis Marinemaster has already been suggested, but Fortis also did nice white faced pilots watches. Hans (9:59) had 2 for sale on the SC only recently.

Take a look in the sales section...
