Do you want a dress watch, a sports watch, a quartz movement or a mechanical piece?

Seiko can be hard to beat in this range, and their Monster is a real bargain (if you want an automatic dive watch). Shop around though, as prices vary wildly..

I'd quite like a mechanical as I've never had one and fancy something smart. I quite like bulky watches and would love a bell and Ross but well out of my price range.

I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you get the watch that you love,
I've only got a pulsar kinetic, £55 if I remember was the price.

Thanks, it was last year, but the whole probate thing has been a nightmare. I feel I want something that will last me and be rather special!

That's how I felt when my nan went she left a £1000, hence the Gibson guitar, it's nice to have something special to remember them by.

Exactly. I have been looking at a ikon, but feel that it's just to add to the collection, unlike a nice watch or something similar.

Try here. I have a number of Precista watches and they can't be beaten for quality and value for money.

Seiko Orange Monster or Smiths (Time Factors) Everest ... if you don't mind putting a bit more to it yourself.

The budget is what my wife has suggested from the total, so sure I can put that up!

Here's a link to an excellent online retailer from my neck of the woods, they have quite a choice I'm sure you will find something you like for the right price. http://www.heinnie.com/Watches/c-1-98/

I sort of want to try them on to find the right one. Happy buying lots of stuff online but feel a watch is such a personal thing. It's about the fit ect.

Seiko and Citizen both make some good mechanical watches for that money, both divers and more conservative dress watches.

If you want something a bit different I highly recommend RLT. I have a couple of his watches; the quality is way above their price and some of them are quite unique.

I'm liking the RLT watches, which ones do you have drroly

 

[monkeytennis]

They look really nice must admit. Decisions decisions...

It's very hard to beat a Seiko at the 200 quid or so price point, I've got a couple and they're my favourite watches.
