Searching for "the watch"
For the past month and a half I have been looking at watches pretty intensely. I have been searching for "the watch." However that proves rather difficult.
Yes- There I watches I like and dislike but there are no watches that I have gotten really caught up in and really like.
I am looking for a watch that will last me quite some time and that will be suitable for everyday use. I do not do many tasks that the watch may get damaged but I want something durable - along with that good water resistance. It will have to be 38mm or less (possiblely 40mm if I like the watch so much). It will have to have a date because that is why I look at my watch a lot other than for the time. I'm not too bothered what type of watch it is (dress, dive etc) as long as it isn't a chronograph. The movement has to be mechanical I would not mind hand wound or automatic. And my price limitations are probably around £700 maximum but I would be willing to spend more if this watch was something I wanted.
I will keep looking for something like this but I was wondering what people would say about this and whether I will actually find "the watch."
What about a Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic, a well proportioned, versatile 38mm field watch?
Timex Expedition line has long been a solid GADA choice, and even in modern mechanical I'd say they fit the bill.
