Soldato
So I went with a Fossil watch. Best price I saw online was £108 and actually found it in a high street store called Menkind in The Glades shopping centre in Bromley for £101.25 so I bought it there and then.

I think it has been said here before that £1k is a bit of an awkward number for watches.
You can try oris, hamilton, nomos, stowa, but in some cases (sorry...) you might wonder what you are getting over and above a £500 watch.
If your dad doesn't mind a 'lookalike', then you might consider a cw c60 http://www.christopherward.co.uk/men/sport/c60-tri-sks.html
Anyone able to help me source this strap from somewhere please?

My watch is the same just with black leather clasped strap and I really like ^that strap! Local jewellers can order it from Tissot direct but they also want £60 just for a normal leather strap...
I suppose I could sell the black strap after though.
that link is showing a bracelet for me

I bought mine online with a leather strap, the metal strap was a little extra I think.![]()
sorry, strap = leather or other material, bracelet = metal, I was just being too literal! Thought you were looking for a strap. You can get aftermarket bracelets but usually a poor fit in terms of the end links hugging the case
£60 isn't bad for a watch specific bracelet
I see!
Reason being I'm finding that the clasp is hugely useful but the curved end of the inner bit that rests on your wrist often scrapes too much against my wrist causing minor discomfort, this is the same at any size adjustment and I've found it's probably to do with the clasp base not sitting perfectly centre on the wrist in relation to the watch itself when closed. A butterfly clasp sits perfectly centre from what I've googled so if I can get a butterfly clasp that would fit that would do the trick maybe!
The bracelet looks nicer but the leather is no doubt more comfortable over all.

Gonna check this out!
