Watch recommendations - again

Cyrus · 10 Jul 2007 at 15:39

Im looking for another watch, the last one i bought (and am very very happy with) is a revue thommen airspeed xl, swiss made, 25 jewel base calibre ETA 2836-2 movement, decorated and exposed movement, 41mm face, sapphire crystal, black leather strap.

All of the above for £500.

Im on the look out for something in a similar price range (less than 500 would be good) that will look good on a brown strap. Large round face, not too cluttered with a similar spec.

Anyone help me out, im more interested in quality than 'brand'

How about something like the Stowa Airman automatic?

Have a look at the Fortis range. I have a Spacematic GMT but it'll probably be a bit out of your pricerange. Have a look at the Flieger pilot watch. It should fit nicely to your requirements.

It is, and very reasonably priced. I'm thinking of getting on as a stop gap until I've saved enough for the real thing:

pugster · 13 Jul 2007 at 09:59

for quality at that price i'd go german
chronomaster has a nice Sinn Flieger 656 Automatic Pilots Watch here
at £455 if you can go for another black strap

another excellent german brand is meistersinger ,build quality is amazing for the price @ £499 for the Scrypto 3Z Automatik + Scrypto Automatik
meistersinger

you may also want to try and find some watches made by limes ,i have one and again great build quality for the price.
