Was looking at watches at the weekend and really liked:

http://www.amazon.com/NIXON-A1051602-Nixon-Sentry-...

Nice size, nice look and nice strap and was about to buy when noticed the silver finish on the watch was already wearing off ?

So can anyone recommend something similar but better made.. budget <300

Thanks

I have an MVMT one and really like it. If you read the story regarding the brand, you will realise why they are cheaper!

Just be aware that there may be a little charge when it gets delivered. Might be worth checking out prior to ordering.

Thanks Sam.. is the charge relating to customs ? Roughly how much are we talking about ?

At most I would say £10-20, depending on which shyster courier they use. If they send it USPS then Royal Fail Parcelforce will handle the Customs Clearance and charge you £15 for the privilege on top of any Customs charge.

Nixie tubes.

There is a slightly more 'traditional' version available as well.

Technically, yes valves.
