    i like that it's titanium, that it's not a thick diver, bracelet looks comfy, simple clean dial, love the gray color, love the lume.

    is this an only watch kinda question?
    if that is my budget for an only watch that has to be bought new at retail, then it may well be this one:





    WIS Handbook, Chapter 1, Rules 1 and 2:
    1. Tag Heuer never wins a poll. Should a member feel the need to express the desire to own one, he or she may be subject to ridicule and be ostracized.
    2. Omega wins all polls. Should Omega not be mentioned as a selectable option, it is highly suggested that you still recommend the polling member purchase an Omega, preferably a Speedmaster with hesalite crystal to add extra character and a certain warmess to the dial.

    Thought for the day:
    why is it that those with the most to say about watches never have any watches to show?

    For less than your budget, I got a Seiko SARB017 and I like it very much. Good looks, clean lines, a decent movement, strap or bracelet. Good lume. I'm well pleased with it.

    You'd be better off saving another £500 quid and then get a good quality pre owned watch from a more prestigious maker. I'd also say keep it European. Omega, Breitling, etc. When most people think of Japanese brands they think of TV's, & Playstations, not high quality watches.

    I like that. Reminds me a bit of the British Army issue CWC.

    In that case the only acceptable answer is "fake Rolex." Should have quite a bit of change left over, too.
