Can anyone recommend a green faced watch in the £200-£300 range, please?

Tissot PRX

Today I bought a watch that I had had my eye on for some time: the Tissot PRX, quartz version, variously described as Mint or Tiffany Blue. It's a bea...

A bit of a star

The Steeldive SD1970 "Turtle" Bronze Automatic 200m Diver Watch. The case is developing, slowly, a very pleasant patina. One oddity: the Steeldive nam...

This is a very odd idea - claiming an association between changing musical tastes and changes in preferences for different types of watches. Too many variables here.

You could claim all sorts of associations: watch/cake, watch/furniture, watch/shirts, watch/types of shampoo and so on.

Thank you. It is a really good watch and is quartz. Virtually indestructible. Unlike its owner.

Why put a cheapo strap on a posh watch? Also, why is anyone keen to have a strap that was worn by James Bond - a non existent, fictional person?

I'm the other way round. I only wear a watch when I go out and take it off when I get back. I never wear one at home. I have clocks and a phone for that.

However, most days I do nip upstairs to admire my collection.

I would have the Victorinox INOX in red. Way under $1000 (nearer half that) but a tank proof, Swiss watch that is chunky, well made and finished and looks good. It has a beautifully clear face and a thick rubber strap. I could live with just this watch.

Sorry, I'm not sure what happened to the photo. Here it is again.

The Ray Mears is a great watch. Titanium, very clear face, solar powered. It is also one of those watches that you can drive a tank over and it won't blink. I am fortunate to have a tank and I check this out pretty often.

One of the top watches in all sorts of ways.

Two of the downsides of winter

More contributions from those who collect affordable watches?

Scrolling through the postings, it seems clear that higher end watches are discussed more often than inexpensive ones. Could more of us in the afforda...

Hard to find love

I find it hard to love NATO straps. I know this probably relates back to horrible childhood experiences with rubber bands and quill pens but I can't w...

A bit of colour

Some of the more colourful watches from my collection. Sadly, no marks for presentation or photography. You can't have everything.

A good dress watch?

I was rather taken by this Avaner watch. It is described as a 'big faced military watch.' and I have no reason to doubt this. There must be plenty of...
