Watches - another OCD problem

[Heavy Duty]

@Giles:

Friend wants to buy hubby a square or rectangular stainless steel dress watch on stainless steel band.  Manual or quartz.  Budget USD500 any suggestions….?

Here a few worth looking at:

This one is pretty nice, especially on the bracelet (I own one myself, by the way):

Hamilton also makes a good one:

Those are the only ones I can think of right off the top of my head.  With a bit more time, I may remember a few more.  I've never been a big fan of square/rectangular watches, so I haven't spent as much time researching them.

@orlylow:

if something does sound too good, hands off! no matter what the seller say, still can be faked, not his picture, stolen, etc, these are easy to resell so why should someone let it go for cheap, if there isn't something wrong about it?

[hectic]

Fuck that, that is sketchy.

So you just want a cheap replica or what am I missing?..

[hectic]

^ missed that. Get a Parnis if you want try out the style. Reps suck.

[orlylow]

missed that too lol. diddn't know it was a rep. will check parnis out. looking at orient too…

For that kind of money, its hard, but for a bit more, I'd do this: http://www.marvinwatches.com/collections-new/malton-cushion/watchdetail/m118-13-41-11

my cheap chronograph Hong Kong generic watch is not behaving well.  Will probably need to replace with an Luminox soon.

[Chris]

Just started wearing this one again.  Really, I don't think there's a better watch for the price.  The blue dial is one of the best I've seen at any price, too.

I suspect my next watch will be british:

Nice, with an Explorer-vibe. I'd like it more with a sterile dial though..

Some nice stuff from Tudor in Basel this year:

Black bay

Pelagos (in titanium)

Not much interesting stuff from the other brands though..

@Jii:

Yeah, they are somehow "linked":

I would like it without the logo/writing AND without the minute hands, but can't have it all I guess

[Jii]

Oh cool, definitely did not know about the heritage.

Couldn't agree more Chris, you've motivated me to break out my Mako, then had to go with the Big Blue to compliment it!

No minute hand?
So something like a MeisterSinger?  Or if you're looking for one a touch less spendy, the Botta Uno.

May I commend you on your excellent taste in watches, Simon?  And for one-upping me quite nicely?  Bravo.

British? Ummm aye, that's stretching it a bit as yes it was a British firm Back In The Day but the original Smith's long since folded and the name was snapped up by Timefactors and the watch in question now  has a Japanese Miyota movement, although it would be much more expensive if made with a ETA 2892 for sure and to be fair they do however seem to have very favourable reviews all over. Although i do like the one you have pictured(the fact it homages an Explorer does make giggle) i for one favour the 29A as i would love an original W10 but it it have to be a minter and those cost a huge chunk of change.

@Chris:

That one is definitely a good choice, but the SARB065 Cocktail Time is my favorite.  Granted, it's €70 more expensive, but it's oh so pretty.

Just asked whether they can put a steel bracelet on it… Looks like I have made up my mind...
