Thread: What would you buy for £350

Hybrid View

  1. #1

    What would you buy for £350

    I spend too much on watches that take my fancy, so I was thinking ill save up the money I would usually randomly spend and shell out £350 to £400 on one good watch.

    £400 is the highest figure I would feel comfortable spending on one watch (any more would be beyond my reasonable means)

    So you have up to £400 or roughly $600 for our US friends on ONE watch what would you buy?

    Great choice, but you should have a healthy amount left over, the green dial shouldn't cost quite that much.

    Tho....the white one seems to cost a bit more if you can find it.....

    You'd have enough left to buy the bracelet

    If you are comfy with watches around 35mm I'd spend a bit of time carefully researching vintage Omega as a decent 565 powered watch is within your means if you are careful and a decent thirty series handwind would be easy.

    However, if you are after something larger, then I'd be another to suggest having a look at Eddie's stuff because you really do get a lot of watch for your money.

    I just picked up one of his new Seafires and I'm delighted.

    I think this one is a little over budget (£400ish for the 38mm version), but I think it's a beauty!

    BY THE WAY, go direct to him via email , his non-ebay prices are cheaper and he's quite happy to deal outside of ebay.
    His email is in the listings.
    He also will supply variations on watches if you ask nicely
    Let me know if I help , I've dealt with him loads.
