Thank you. Will be going into town tomorrow, by myself. The Mrs would rather watch paint dry! Happy days for me☺️

I’m truly humbled for all the comments and suggestions BUT I’m even more confused and stuck than before I started this thread😭😭

I don’t mind a Quartz, however it’s the Q word that’s holding me back as quartz is seen as cheap. But I do understand the GS is the best Quartz money can buy. Then you have a Tag whereby the movement is ETA non house. I recently returned a King Seiko Garya Bai, burgundy dial, only to return it as I felt £1400 is too much to pay for budget movement. The watch itself was beautifully crafted. I don’t want to feel robbed as I feel the movement which is the heart of the watch to be on the cheap side.

As mentioned, my only issue was the movement and I already have a Tag.
