I'm thinking a gold watch with brown leather strap, maybe Roman numerals - any recommendations, brands - oh budget around £200 - £300
Thanks 🙂

I like Oris - owned one a couple of years ago but have gone off their designs recently. Not necessarily in a bad way, just not what I've been looking for. They might be what you're looking for though.

personally as its unlikely that its for me.. i like the old omega seamasters that come up on eblag they fetch a couple of hundrd and a bit of research should get you a 62 or 63 easily and cheaply

Could I recommend going vintage? More class and style for your money in that sort of watch, IMHO.

Depending on where you are, this place has a great selection in Salisbury- http://www.tribbecks.co.uk/

They've just serviced my beloved old vintage watch and it's purring along like it was new!

Oh,and dress watch with a brown strap? Tsk, tsk! Next you'll be wearing wacky coloured ties with your morning suit and we all know where that leads, don't we? 😉 Or did you just mean a smart watch, rather than a dress watch?

Raymond Weil and Longines do some nice dress watches.
