Most fun for a grand.

[RustyRoses]

I've been shifting a bunch of stuff on eBay to fund an Aerospace Advantage and I'm just about to hit a grand.

I've managed to find someone selling one without box and paper for my budget, but before I do, am I missing out on something more fun for £1000? I feel the Aerospace is hard to beat.

I'm a one watch guy for the last 2 years, just a Black Bay 41 on bracelet. The 41 x 11mm size suits me, and I love a bracelet, but I'm open to potential wild cards!

So what 2nd hand pickup would you aim your sights on?

A weekend in Amsterdam?

A weekend in Amsterdam?

I would head to Riga. Similar attractions but The beer is better...

[julian2002]

Hamilton ventura?

Something from one of the whackier micro brands (Xeric perhaps)?

Neither is really a direct competitor to the Aerospace but they are certainly fun.

You might find one under budget...




Otherwise, an Aerospace is an excellent choice.

but no weed here :(

Thanks for the watch suggestions guys. If the Nomos ahoy on forum was a grand id be tempted, but I've heard they don't keep great time?

Regarding the motorcycle - I just sold mine unfortunately

I’d buy the nomos for a grand too. If it was white I would be more interested in that one.

Personally I'd go for something Japanese and very accurate - the fact is that a watch with gadgets rarely gets use once you've played a bit - seconds a year accuracy just gets more smugly satisfying as the year passes.

There is more than Heineken...

Yes, there's Amstel and Grolsch too!

[Andyg]

Yes, there's Amstel and Grolsch too!

And huge amounts of craft and Belgium beers.

[Sinnlover]

There is one on SC for that money at the moment
It hard to find a watch that does everything, looks good and is great value 2nd other than the Aerospace.
I would seriously consider looking for one if I were in the market for an Ani Digi Watch.

SBBN037 and change - it’s calling my name at the moment.

Tuna is a very good choice. Plenty of Nomos as the quality mechanical choice, but I’m not sure they are exactly “fun”. The Aerospace is excellent, and a lot of fun, if you can get one you like at £1000.

Bell & Ross 123 Geneva is classy, and you could probably get a steel BR03-92; now that’s a fun watch!

W-w-what???

I thought I was the only person west of La Chaux-de-Fonds to have even heard of the Geneva 😜

But yes, a huge amount of bang for the buck.

^ definitely worth consideration; though not sure it would come in at three figures?

(and a used 123 Geneva seems to be £1200-1500!)

[paul staines]

Picked up a Bell and Ross BR03 for around that price. Also a Sinn U1. Just about the lowest value watches I have.
Wear them the most !

With a budget of a grand you've got access to a pretty much unlimited number of micro-brands, many of which would, imo, be more fun than nearly anything most well-known brands are offering.

I think it’s a great choice. There aren’t many options from brands as well positioned, and models as well loved.

The Aerospace (without the gold accents) is a great choice and something I have considered myself.

But the best fun for a grand, has to Johnathan Palmer Experience. A chance to drive cars like you stole them.
