Stowa Marine sold! 1995 Casio Cognit Schema sold! Seiko save the ocean sold!
Feels kinda empty now, but I have watches I wear often as the only ones in my collection now.

Will have a look at these. Thanks

Nice, I was going to have a look at one of these / Pelagos 39. Need to have a review of the Tudor collection tbh. Wearing a Ranger todayBB54 arrived after a few weeks wait.
Not sure if you would get import duties but to be on cautious side I get shipped to someone in EU then sort from here

Import duty is a complete lottery, having imported a lot of stuff over the years, not just watches, sometimes you get lucky and it's £0, sometimes you get rinsed, other times it's a trivial amount like £20 
All seems to be down to how bothered the person filing the paperwork at customs is that day it feels like.
I've put this nylon strap on the Hamilton and actually like how it looks, the line in the middle matches the railroad track marker colours, so think I will keep it on this:
Also with the amount of sun we've had down here lately, bronze matches my gradient-tan

What's your thought on the Ranger? I am tempted as an everyday watch.

I read that Simona has passed away a couple of years ago which is probably why the site is down and probably wont be back https://paneristi.nl/strapmakers/DiStefano/

Just had a look and I quite like that, I also quite like the white face of the PAM 01381 Due Luna Rosa. My PAM 320 has taken a back seat since I got the IWC Portofino Hand Wound Moon Phase but wore it on holiday to Sardinia and realised I still love it

Thanks Bear for the information. Obviously this will stop them trading

I really like it due to it's simplicity. Not in your face and such.. I have a few Tudor options, Pelagos, BB (smiley on an Everest strap), BB58 and Tudor. I would probably offload the OG Pelagos and BB58, been considering £2k for each ish.

I don’t have a Tudor in my collection yet. I want something different from my Hulk and Sea Dweller so this could be it.

Grand Seiko, Omega? Tudor INHO is a bit rinse and repeat

Grand Seiko does nothing for me. Love Seiko watches, but their sub £500 watches are amazing and don't feel the need to add a £5k one. Omega for sure, have my eyes on the Black, Black carbon Seamaster or the Green "Seaweed" at the minute.

Depends what you like really? Very much down to personal taste.
I'm looking at the Tudor black bay chrono currently, which is in that price bracket.

Grand Seiko, always second hand market even if you can get some of their stuff new with your budget.
Can even get into some older Rolex Datejusts with that. Some of the oldies are gorgeous.

Tudor and Omega would be my first looks depending on the style you're looking for. Diver, dress and so forth. As others have mentioned, Grand Seiko, too, but I wouldn't be paying retail for GS.
Rolex prob out of reach and you'll only get mugged for it anyway. That's the appeal of Tudor IMHO, still just about under the radar. I got my first Tudor in 2015 and nobody took a second look.

I tend to like diver style watches best. I’ve recently got a Tudor gmt which I absolutely love. At first I was keen to get another Tudor as I really do love the brand having bought one.
I was partial towards an omega seamaster diver 300 co- axial they tend to be around this price, however I’m just not sure it “looks” like 4ks worth of Watch despite its gorgeous movement etc.
Unsure at the moment so I very much appreciated all the comments I can get
