New watch time!
Nasty old cheap broken one:
New lovely expensive (for me) one:
The original one was £120 down to £70 on sale, the new one was £250 down to £119 on sale. I think you'll agree it's a nice little upgrade, the old one started to look a little cheap on my wrist after i read through this thread!
My goal is for this one to be my 'everyday' watch and sometime next year to get myself an Omega Seamaster as a special occasion watch.

Well yesterday I took the plunge and treated myself to a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Calibre 5.
I've wanted one for years and I'm so happy I bought it. I'll try and get a pic up later!
Sounds good, we now need a picture (or model number)

I like to keep it simple. First 'expensive' watch I've bought.
HA! That reminds me. I need to change the date.

Man i love those Omega's Chris344 Beautiful watch.
Thanks Mal
It's not the Calibre 5, i was wrong, its the standerd Aquaracer. A beautiful watch, and the pic does not do it justice!
It's my first (and maybe last) proper watch
Very nice, I hope you got a very good discount
If you are looking at an entry level Swiss watch yes they are a great starting point. If you are not really in to watches and again would like a bit of quality yes they are great at the £3-400 price point. You should see 4/5 years without any issues/battery changes.
I've got a quick visit to the channel islands on the go and might be tempted to take advantage of then lack of VAT to go for the Omega Seamaster I've promised myself forever.
Problem is all my research is at home out of reach, can someone (Rotty, chris344?) help me out with a quick ball park price estimate to I don't get ripped off and any advice on model.
Not sure if it was the seamaster pro 300m or the PLanet ocean ( can't remember the difference, is the PO the 8500 movement and the 300m the "James bond", seem to remember the PO is slightly bigger?) chrono steel on steel 41mm. Not sure what the implications are of the new liquimetal bezels and if they are worth the premium or not, chrono automastic movement.
It'll be worn pretty much every day so goes with casual or suit and needs to be relatively tough as a every day watch. Not a fan of all the complications on the speed masters, just time and date and not too chunky "I've just been diving in the north sea" look. Was tempted by a aqua terra grey previously but have come back round to the classic pro,mnot least as I suspect it will hold its price we'll.
Talk about first world problems
Any advice or links appreciated ( I've fairly limited phone based Internet at the moment so depth research isnt easy)
Any thoughts?

I'm looking for a new watch and I've got a budget of about £300. I like the look of the Tissot PRC200, but admittedly I know fairly little about watches and have no idea if there's anything else within budget that's of higher quality.
Any suggestions?
