My Sinn 956 is going to be off my wrist for a while being repaired. I’m looking for something to take its place for a while.
I would dearly love a Seiko SNDF87, but can’t find one anywhere!

Can anyone suggest an alternative? Budget under 500 in preference but I would look at higher.

Ahh, a fellow 956 owner. Not many of us on here!
just an idea as meets budget and motorsport theme;

How about Omologato? Mahindra in clearance sale is £100. Others below £500 comfortably like the ecurie ecosse & the James Hunt is nice too

but one of my favourites is in road & racing section which is the Quadroglio:

That Quadroglio is really good looking. 45mm might be a bit big for my wrists though.

I’m quite liking this.

What about Neil.C's Tag in SC? Nice little classic mototrsport watch there

The chronographs made by this firm are very motorsports inspired and very good quality forcthe money.
Those F1s are a bit small for me ( but the Quadroglio is too big.
.. fussy b@5tard me)

What sort of motorsport are you doing? Given the cheap and easy instrumentation available these days, I only use a watch to check I’m at scrutineering or the assembly area in some sort of order - anything works.
If you’re in a car, there’s not much I’d want to consider from a fire perspective tbh...
Well now..... errr... I suppose that’s like asking Someone buying a diver what type of diving he is actually doing.... (although I saw a thread earlier from Someone actually wanting a 5k diver to do some proper deep sea work with!... nearly fell off my internet perch)
So I do actually do hill climbs and the odd track day, so the chrono for timing is the only thing I use... it’s more that I am a total petrol head and my watch lusts mostly go around that kind of motorsport look.
If I had the budget right now a Monaco would be the ideal, or a Tudor heritage chrono.
Does that give a better idea?

Seiko Speedtimer? Tag 2000 Chrono?
I tried the Omologato range at Brands Hatch today and was very unimpressed. They may not be overly expensive in the scheme of things but, at £379 for the Derek Bell 500 Chrono, I thought the watch felt very cheap. I’m sure there are much better options out there for that sort of money.
