Right, this will be my first foray into looking for a decent watch and i would appreciate some guidance!

I am looking for a daily wearer sub £200.

I like the millitary style O&W's, is there anything else you can suggest that is the absolute best quality piece in terms of movement and quality in my price range.

As an aside I would also like suggestions up to £500, as if I found something that was really worth going for, I may wait a while and justify the higher outlay in a couple of months! In particular I am rather taken with the Sinn watches.

Many thanks!

Good suggestion.

I am wearing a Seiko Navigator Timer as my daily watch just now which I was given as a gift from my Dad who has owned it from new.

It's my favourite watch, as it has a unique retro charm:

Another potential choice is the "classic" Tag F1 (which I prefer to the newer versions).

Interesting choices, I hadn't thought about second hand classics. Got me thinking now! I do currently wear a Seiko Kinetic which to be fair has never let me down in the 7yrs I've had it. In fact not once have I had a single problem with it, nor does it really go out of time! Maybe I should stick with Seiko for this budget!
