Watchfinder
Blowers - Hull
Iconic Watches- Blackburn
Miltons - Liverpool/Chester
Watchmaster

The first three all have bricks and mortar showrooms as well as online. Ive used the first three, no problems. The bottom two I haven't used but a friend has and recommends them.

I can vouch for Watchfinder, only used once but great service and quick delivery.

There are plenty out there: watches.co.uk; Watchfinder; Blowers Jewellers; Chronomaster; Austin Kaye; Chrono24.co.uk

I've bought from all except Blowers.

For your budget, there are plenty of decent quality new watches out there: Longines HydroConquest; Oris Divers; Seiko etc.

As well as diver style, another style to consider could be a pilot's watch with bold Arabic numerals.


ETA - a pre-owned Bell & Ross BRS or BR03 might fit the bill and be in budget
