Watches

[Elmyn Noos]

I need a new watch as I've managed to fuck up my old one. I have a budget of up to around £300, and it needs to be the sort of watch I can leave on whilst swimming and arsing about with the kids. My old one was a G-Shock but I fancy a change.

 

I'm looking at Citizen, but I'm open to ideas. I'm not interested in designer clothes types that put their names to watches so can rule out Hugo Boss watches and the like.

 

Recommend a brother a timepiece mother-fuckers.

Here's a good thread on Watches: http://www.liverpoolway.co.uk/forum/gf-general-forum/108021-high-quality-vintage-just-intersting-watch-buffs-virgins-nerds-wankers-thread-2.html

I have both reps and gens. For that price I would go with a genuine Tissot if you want waterproof.

 

The rest is preference. Bracelet or strap? Digital or analog? Automatic or quartz? Etc.

£300 gets you a decent Seiko automatic. All the watch you'll ever need an it'll never need a battery. If you fancy one of their divers watches, you'll have £150 left over for hookers and booze.

[Captain]

It won't need a battery but it will need maintenance which will cost more.

This website was a great shout on the other thread: Men's Watches | Buy Men's Watches

Not usually arsed paying over the odds for stuff but got this last year, it's £245 and a stunning watch, tough and a great weight.

I'm after something new myself actually, something a bit tougher with a rubber or thick leather strap that looks quite solid or outdoors.

[Lario]

Stop being a fanny.

 

Get one of these

 

You'll be the coolest dad on the block, and you can use the near on £300 you saved bringing the kids on holiday or something.

Tissot is a good shout, Sec., but I'd sooner go for the PRC200 chrono. You can get it in black, white, and blue, with different straps/bracelets. It might be a bit big for some people's tastes, but I like them. Very good price on Amazon of £205.

There's a good thread here which shows better pictures of it.

cool as fuck

[Total Longo]

 

 

This is mine and i love it (although the problem with a good watch is that it costs a bomb to get a new battery fitted, as i am currently discovering....)

Very good.

Very wierd how the Scouse sense of Style and Fasion Differs from a Warringtonian like my self

[Elmyn Noos]

Hmm..I'm looking for something sturdy with a bit of weight, and I'm now thinking I like the look of those Tissot watches. Tags, aside from being exceptionally pricey, are a bit BMW for my liking, and those old school Casios are only really cool if you don't remember them first time round. I also can't see myself buying online as I'll need to see and feel it before I shell out, so it's looking like a trip to the jewellers for me to try on some Tissots.

 

Cheers ladies. I'll let you know how I get on.

[Tom R]

Go for a decent Seiko Diver for about £300. Can't go wrong.

It's differs in the sense we moved on from 1998 Si.

[Lario]

Problem with the pricey watches is that you may as well buy a fake...unless you want to tell everyone it cost you £300.

 

A retro calculator watch will always be a talking point. Plus you can use it to calculate how much you've saved!

In what sense, Simon?

[Total Longo]

Surely the whole point of buying a pricy watch is because it's going to be a well made, long lasting, stylish piece of Swiss timekeeping which looks ace on the wrist, and the chicks dig it...

Well the way that what id consider bulky and old school Scousers love i dont consider any of them watches smart infact i see them as bulky and effortless in terms of design and how it looks its all boring.

This would be my choice.

I like the orange monster ones

Si, that TAG is joyous, not at all bulky and very smart indeed. As are most of the others on here.

 

Can you give us an example of what you prefer?
