Spec me a black metal watch!

skiba · 4 Feb 2009 at 16:54

Hey guys,

I'm after a fairly chunky black metal watch. Not too bothered by the make as long as it's quality, budget up to £500. I saw a really nice Seiko for around £350 but didn't make a note of the SKU and haven't seen it again. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers!

How about a commando watch which is 24hour based.

Do you want a black metal wrist band or black face on a metal watch?

What's a commando watch?

Black metal wristband too please.

http://www.traserh3watches.com/en/home/index.php <-- most these watches are black metal and built to last. If you want a UK dealer then http://www.h3-watches.co.uk/products-page.htm is a good place

Seriously though, I have an "Animal" watch which u can by different velcro straps for, my Dad has a Secko inertial watch but he had it replaced as it was slow. Had mine for years, Sister bought it for me as birthday present.

Over £500 for a watch wtf? I would want it to say Rolex if I paid that much!

I'd be more than happy to own that Hublot over most if not all Rolexes

Archmede Pilot PVD

http://www.archimede-watches.com/EN/Pilot.htm

42mm variant

39mm variant

This has the benefit of being a nice watch with a decent auto movement rather than a fashion watch.

375 euros direct from the manufacturer

Why would you want a crap watch over a decent one?
