    You do realise that it's 50 posts AND 60 days membership ​before you can see Sales Corner?
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    There is a very nice Citizen that will still be going strong in thirty years and save you £250, enough for a nice meal out for two...

    Sinn watches provide great bang for your buck, and quite a few fall within your budget.

    I have said that many times and I am 63 now, only last week I shelled out for two Rolex OPs for the wife and I. Once you get on SC it's a slippery slope to the poor house.

    WOW. I don’t know what it does the text, digits, hands are all a bit too small for these old eyes. However just looking at it, it must do everything. The perfect watch for a man about town.

    A reasonable budget, there is plenty out there for that money. It is worth bearing in mind that although it might be a “big price watch” for you, it is not a big price to world of watches

    Seamaster aqua terra 150m quartz - should be possible to get a new-ish one for your budget, if new is what you’re after...

    So this is an additional watch to your Rolex Daytona 116520 is it? Why would this new watch be your last watch? Surely you're either still wearing your Daytona? Or is this new watch an everyday watch for gardening, bowls and sitting in your car with a flask at the seaside when you retire?

    ETA: One more post Tilly and you'll crack a hundred posts in 2 days. Is that a forum record?

    Maybe going for 250 within the week. But may then get that magic reset to zero! Anyone been watching Black Mirror?

    as far as another watch OP - get a Casio of some sort to go with the Daytona.

    Tilly, people don't get it as you keep responding to every tit for tat comment in a very incoherent manner, as if the only objective is to post as many times as you can justify.
    If you're genuinely here out of interest for watches, could I please advise that you to stop saying so, but modify your style;

    -post less, and ensure posts have value
    -let little jabs go
    -respond to things in one go rather than breaking it into 10 separate quote/replies.
    -stop trying to defend yourself, as you only appear to dig deeper!

    Don’t be silly,
    This is, after all Tilly.
    Of course not,
    Didn’t even see the dot.

    Waging “war” on each local,
    Each post incoherent but very vocal.
    Watch related it may not be,
    But very entertaining, at least to me.
