One of our children needs a watch and I am not going to buy him a real Monaco. Is there a half decent “homage”?

To be clear it needs to be reasonable quality.

I think we need a budget to work to otherwise suggesting stuff at random is going to be pointless.

How much do you want to spend?

D’oh hehe it was just a quick search. Plenty of square watches out there but only way to get the right look is a replica but then the quality as said is crap

I had totally forgotten about Lorus.

I remember we used to take the piss put of the lads at school who had Lorus watches instead of Casio.

That Lorus is no longer available.

But I have found this, which looks good.

You still haven’t said how much you want to spend, and without that, it is impossible to start recommending various options.

Up to £300. But the Accurist above looks nice for less.
