What watch-£200

[I get around]

£50 on a good looking watch.
£150 on something actually worth buying?

It's very small at 32mm, not really a fan.

No, they don't. They look very tacky.

Its too small, and too quartz! If you want an Omega, spend a bit more on a decent automatic model.

Some of these christopher ward watches are gorgeous!

Anyone got some background on them?

I've got two, the black and silver version of the one you linked and a black and silver Malvern Automatic. I love them both, they look and feel fantastic and suit me down to the ground.

I prefere the Seamaster, something from the late 50's early 60's Maybe an automatic...can be hard for £200, more if you want gold.

Also interested in this thread, fancy a new watch at some point.

Awful and tacky watches... you're paying for the name, nothing more.

I can reccommend them, I know some of the serious watch buffs on here snigger at them but the two I have are absolutely spot on in terms of quality and feel, the service you get from the comany is excellent as well.

£200 max

2x Seiko Monsters. One orange, one black. Buy one on bracelet, the other on rubber.

Or maybe something a little less common, like a Precista. They're European made, use Swiss auto or quartz movements except the PRS-5 which has a chinese Seagul ST-19

While that old Seamaster has it's charm, it wouldn't do as a daily wearer in my opinion. That is, unless you wear a suit to work everyday.

[Ma'am]

I too like the watch in the OP. It looks sophisticated and unfussy

 

[Chabsy]

Not quartz, tis a manual wound but it is too small for a bloke my wife has a old seamaster

 

[Squark]

Isn't it "Which watch?"?

That was the first thing which came to my mind too.

On topic- I really like the watch posted in the OP. I can't say that I'm a fan of big chunky watches with loads of dials, I think simple and stylish faces looks so much nicer.
