Watch up to £1000
Discussion
Morning
My other half lost her engagement ring the other week, which was little stressful as you can imagine. The upshot is that we will have vouchers to use at Ernest Jones (I'm assuming we can buy anything with these vouchers, and not just a ring?)
Looking on the web, one option is to replace the ring from somewhere else rather than Ernest Jones, which will leave us with vouchers to use. So I might treat myself to a watch.
Being that I know absolutely nothing about watches, any recommendations on the selection from Ernest Jones up to a grand? In case Kate can't find a ring she wants from there?

Non-automatic seamaster is £950, might wait till there is a sale on if we go this route.

quartz though
You should be able to get a nice mechanical watch for £1k IMO. Don't spend a grand on a quartz watch, please...
You can get (as mentioned) the automatic Speedmaster for less than a grand if you haggle. Also, for a lot less, I like Seiko as they make virtually all their components in-house and design their own movements.
You won't get them at H Samuel but there are some great pilot-style watches in the IWC style for that sort of money, check out Sinn (Neil @ Chronomaster sells them on the web). I've got a 356 II chrono, lovely for around £600...

I'm sure they are all lovely, but i've got Ernest Jones vouchers to use, so it has to be from there!

That is a stunning watch...good choice.
Just remember, some branches of Ernest Jones will give a 10% discount just for asking. I got £165 off my Constellation coz I wasn't too proud ask - and I was using insurance vouchers having had my house turned over by some 'soon-to-be-dead' junkie scrote who spent time dismantling my double glazing from the outside and hence bypassing window deadlocks etc.
For Longines/Omega try www.glooks.com I bought the missus a watch from there and got 37% discount. Quick delivery too!
I bought a TAG from ernest jones (no probs and auto) you may have to go to a city branch to get a wider choice.... but it will be worth it!! TAG probably have the most choice in this price bracket but look at others as you may want to add a little money to it so you can get the exact one you want! dont sacrifice choice for the sake of £100.00
How about this little beauty. I am a fan of Zeno watches. this one come in at your budget.
Ahh never mind I see you need to buy from ernest jones to use the vouchers.
Zeno Automatic Triple Date Moonphase Chronograph - Model 7751
