Watches

[RedHorseman]

Hi,

I am running a Christmas draw at work and I am looking at buying a nice elegant dress watch as one of the larger prizes. I am looking for suggestions in the £150-300 region. I understand this is cheap for watches which is why u am wanting help.

Cheers

Have a look for a decent stainless steel seiko

Seiko, or citizen Eco drive

Amazon occasionally sell off some nice watches such as Tissot and Jorg Gray. Maybe worth a look?

At 40mm it's the perfect watch size. It's a timeless, classic style similar to the Rolex Explorer.
It has a reliable, accurate automatic movement that is easy to service or replace.

It's a English company your buying from and Eddie Platts watches often become desirable

It's a no brainer

Seiko quartz. I prefer automatics, but quartz is more accurate and just needs a battery every few years.

Oooh, it's very pretty and right in my price range

I have a few watches bought from Eddie, some of them quite rare.

I have this watch and agree totally that it is classic! Smooth and smart on the steel bracelet or slap it on a leather nato and it completely changes the look and feel of the watch.

If you wanted to go down the route of quartz, check out Christopher Ward dress watches.

I have a white faced Goldbird, a speedbird 1903, and the wife has a lady speedbird, I also have a couple of his earlier Broadarrow range

Has anybody got or owned a Nite watch? Are they any good?

Very nice, I've got the 1903 also. You don't see many about.

Congratulations
I have number 81, they seem to cost a bit of money when they come up for sale.

edited to show the actual watch,

I really like their Nato watch

and how it came out:

I still think that if I was looking for a watch as a prize, I would be looking at a citizen eco drive, my own one is about 8 years old, and when not worn, sits on my bedroom window cill, plus there are plenty different models to choose from at a whole range of price points, a sort of cross between a quartz watch and a mechanical watch, as the battery never runs out, it's the sort of watch you would want to own, either as a watch enthusiast or not,
