What watch do you wear?

My three watches.. Not "high end" like most of your lots but they look good and they tell the time.

style over substance I believe, would much rather a C.Ward watch for the money. It may not look as flash but mechanically its 100% better.

lol does it look any good?

what is the build quality like?

I just feel it looks attractive but v little features for so much money
 
I have an Omega Seamaster that I got for my 18th (10 years ago). I've worn it 2 or 3 times in that time and its a total waste - tried to tell my parents at the time that I wanted a computer for my birthday but they insisted on buying me a watch. I would have sold it by now if they would let me!!

Nowadays I occasionally wear this cheapish Ironman watch when I need to time my splits with the stopwatch, other than that I look at my phone or the other billion things that have the time on nowadays. I will never understand the fascination some people have with wrist watches!

Jewellery, status, appreciation of the mechanics inside, history, fashion - take your pick!

The links are the same as mine. They have a rubbery feeling which is love or hate imo. I don't mind them though but it can get a bit "sticky" (It's hard to explain).

It is a fashion watch more then function. Something you would wear to a wedding on a one off.

Build quality is fine. I had no issues with misalignment on mine or his. Best to just go to Goldsmiths or similar to try it on. They've got a lush Bronze one that I regret not waiting for though I've had compliments on my blue one. And a silver/grey one that also looks stunning.
 
Guys, can someone please recommend me the cheapest yet "respectable" elegant Swiss watch possible? Ironically enough I live in Switzerland, but prices here in the shops are very high, and I don't like watches enough to splurge out, yet do like them enough to want something elegant but that won't break the bank. Would be willing to buy online or go second-hand, and budget is a couple of hundred quid, lets say £250. Leather strap preferred, and no Swatches please. :)

The deal is they're cheaply made watches that cost as much as they do based purely on the brand name.

Avoid at all costs in my opinion.
