No date ? There you are mate
Aventurine dial, no date and more dressy than the rest of the Sealander line.
Or
Military line, no date, Chronometer.
As for QC issue, I think no brand can have 100% ok product but what matters is customer service and for this the 60/60 is a peace of mind.
By the way i don't have a CW yet but plan on getting one this year
I would go with a Christopher Ward with that specs. 20 years this year and they were "the first" microbrand, selling online only. Their C63 Sealander or C65 Trident line should tick all your boxes and be just in the budget or just a little over.
It's a wonderful place, beautiful little towns all the coast long, incredible houses, and places heavy in history. It's 3h drive from where I live, have a call if you go !
The one that has to come with me is the PMD56 :
If the trip is more than 3 or 4 days, or can have special occasions, i add a nice dressier like the Farer or the GG S1
For holidays, I like to take a beach or pool watch, usually the Casioak or for more bright days the Q&Q RP30
So it goes from 1 to 3 but rarely more.
