Right then,
I am sat here thinking I want a nice watch. Having my last for nearly seven years and finally having a bit of disposable cash to treat myself at some point (probably around Christmas) I have begun to look at watches.
Right my dilemma, I am unsure how much to spend. I am thinking value for money and probably comfortable spending up to say twelve hundred pounds once personal circumstances ironed out (wife having a year out with our daughter).
So obviously having decided the budget what to buy? Should I view something purely as what I like or with maybe a more sensible head that might not depreciate as much as others? I would like something individual with everyday wear-ability.
What would you guys and gals recommend?
It will be my first watch and have spent hours reading threads to try and educate myself and keep flipping between an Omega or Brietling (budget would need to be increased obviously). I like the Pan' and IWC but they are way out of my league.
Also would the watch be likely to retain in value? Just thinking of maybe changing in years down the line and keeping the mrs's sweet about it holding it value.
All advice appreciated and thank you for any input.

if you are happy to buy second hand i recommend you check out
www.watches.co.uk
they have some very good watches in your range, i would in my opinion go for a omega over a brieting, as brietlings do not tend to hold there value as well,
shame they do some good watches, but omega have some good classic designs.
good luck.

What's a brieting or brietling? Edited by stovey on Monday 18th June 15:55
If I were you I'd forget about the retained value bit. Set your budget and buy what you like, yes its possible to argue about brands etc and value but in the end who cares? People buy watches cos they like them and suit them. If you enjoy it for a few years then it doesnt matter how much its worth - I suppose its like people buying cars they may not like for investment and then not using them!
Your budget will buy lots of nice watches just go look!

Try this Sinn. Both the 356 and 103 are shown here. The copper faced 356 Flieger II looks luuuusssh. Unless specified the Flieger II comes with an acrylic face, I think its about an extra £100 for the sapphire.
I really wish you lot would stop putting up links to that site. Pesty said:
