What watch do you wear?

TA! It's less than I thought
About £100 cheaper here: http://www.creationwatches.com/prod...matic-t035-407-16-051-00-mens-watch-2463.html
Didn't someone here recently want a black dialled watch with gold rims and was looking at the usual fashion brands but was open to others?
How about this Seiko 5?
This would be my choice given that criteria: http://www.creationwatches.com/prod...matic-t019-430-36-051-01-mens-watch-5434.html

Can someone find something that looks like this but with an auto at a similar price (or quartz for about £200), I'm not keen on spending that much money on a new brand with a quartz movement despite all the spin they put on the brand.

I really like the lugs and the layout of the face. it's a nice watch but they are really taking the ****.

I haven't been tinkering with or buying watches for ages but I just got a CW final sale email and have had a stab at a C61 Trident with orange bezel and bracelet. It's the 38mm, I always found the C60 too big for the style of watch and this is the shrunk down version.
I have a soft spot for CW as I was quite active on the forum in the earlier days of the brand. I don't think they represent such good value at full RRP these days when you compare to some others such as Steinheart and Precista but at around £250 it seemed well worth it.

Picked this up at work just before Christmas for a steal of a price.
Deciding if I want to keep it or flip it. Ordered it in silver, but due to demand, I was offered an orange one. Functionality wise, it is a big step up from the Gear-fit I also have (now on loan to a friend).
It is a Galaxy Gear 2.

That face does remind me of another make but I can't recall it at present.
An unconventional choice, but here's one similar: http://www.orvis.co.uk/p/international-automatic-watch/3a10

seiko was recommended in the thread
they then ignored the advice and posted a few pics of the crappy fashion watches they were interested
I ordered a C61 black in the sale to check it out for a daily beater and I'm sending it back. The combination of the bling and the size makes it way too feminine/dressy IMO. I also don't think I can get on with the 4 o'clock date window - I thought I could. Maybe with time it would be fine, but I'm not sure I like it enough to find out.

That date position is possibly the worst design decision in their whole range. I really wanted a CW as a beater sports watch but that put me off buying completely.
I'll see what I think. Although I have a couple of large watches, I generally prefer a smaller case. My JLC (granted it is dressy) is 39 and is absolutely spot on for me. I have pretty girly wrists.

The positioning of the date window always has put me off the C60 and C61. I really hope they fix it in the next revision.

I'm suspecting that they're selling off the current C6x range cheaply now because it's the next in line to receive their in-house movement. I hope so. If they fix the date window I could be seriously interested.
It's a Tissot Couturier Automatic (T035407A)
