For some time now I have been looking at getting a good quality watch. I've been looking through websites on watches for hours and looking at every watch thread on these forums too. Now being only 18 it will take me a bit of time to save up for one, so I want to make the right choice. This will probably be a watch for life too. I wear my current one 24/7 so it would definatley get a lot of use.
So far I have been looking at two watches, both Omegas. The first being the Seamaster 300 M Diver Chronometer.
It is a very nice watch, but everyone seems to have one. Also, I am still not sure whether I like the strap on it or not. That and it isn't really that exclusive. It is a top quality watch for a good price though. The other one I have been looking at is this one:
I'm not usually a fan of the Speedmaster design, or any watches wit the dials in, but this watch really is quite different, and not horiffically expensive from what i've seen. The only thing i'm not sure about is the tachymetre, looks too busy. The strap is pretty much perfect though.
I just posted here to see what peoples thoughts were on these two watches and if anyone has any other reccomendations for a watch. I'm looking for a classic looking style, no modern junk, with a fair amount of weight to it. I hate light watches. Budget is around £1500, although it may take a while for me to save that up
. Anything like Quartz or chronometer would also be nice. Chosen watch has to be automatic too. I did take a good look at some of the Rolex range too, such as the suubmariner and GMT Master II. However, they do look nice but they are fairly plain and have nothing different or more individual to them. Breitlings are far too busy.
Another question is, buying the watch. Would a good option be finding the watch I want in a jewellers over here then ordering from the USA? Would that work out cheaper? Also, are Omega planning to bring out a new/update their range any time soon?
Also, I was looking at the Vostok Europe watches and fell in love with the K-3 Submariner range, although it would not be the watch I want, possibly something to fill the gap until I get the one a truly want. Basically, does anyone have any experience with them or know where to buy them? I loved the look of this one:
Find me a UK dealer that sells that watch and i'll love you forever.
