Watch up to £300?

[Skidder]

I would look at Timefactors watches (Precista, Smiths etc.), Steinhart, Seiko for that budget personally.

but that is quartz - OP wants a proper automatic watch with sweeping second hand

no idea what the quality is like but I think these look amazing value for money

or any of the parnis range, sure they are homage watches (cheap reps of expensive marques) but as a throw away piece they seem hard to say no to.

even the movement whilst not exactly high beat looks great and you get a tourbillon esque effect too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TKqTTJ7ul0

Do you have Sky TV? Channel 671 and wait for the Watch Commander. I don't recommend buying anything from him, but it's compelling viewing.

Iam in the market for a new watch too have my eye on the christopher ward c60 pro 600 or the Longines hydro conquest? £660 and £620 respectfully. Also like the tissot visodate. This could get expensive.

I'm very much liking the look of the Steinhart 'homage' watches and am torn between three models.

Ocean One Vintage Red

Ocean One Vintage Military

Ocean One Green

The first is effectively a DRSD, the second a Mil Sub and the third, a Sub LV. I really like all three and am struggling to decide which one to get.

I own several expensive watches ranging from diesel to christopher ward to rado and breitling.

Tbh I think they are a waste of money now and if I could do it all over again. I'd buy 1 christoper ward for special occasions and that's it.

I hardly ever wear a watch though they seem pointless now with the invention of mobile phones, etc.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far!
