Not bad for an automatic Seiko metal bracelet Divers watch
[url= http://www.a-watches.com/skx009k2-jubs/ ]£ 100 pound Seiko metal braclet divers watch[/url]
[url= http://www.a-watches.com/skx009k1-rub/ ]Same watch with rubber strap £ 90.00p[/url]
I'd like one of those Yobokies, is £100 a realistic budget for one?
I think I paid £89 for mine or about that. Plus £20 for a leather strap.
He will mix and match hands and faces, that's what I got anyway, didn't like the tie shaped hands so got straight ones like he had shown on another watch
No offence meant but none suggested are smartish unless you go for a simple/plain watch? Swatch are sooooo 90's though!
As CountZero.
I got a Seiko pilot watch for about £45 the other week from http://www.sports-watch-store.com/snk805k2-snk805-nylon-seiko-5-military-automatic-mens-watch/
I use it as a day to day watch 'cause its cheap. Got a Seinhart on order for special occasions 🙂

Casio £7. Seiko £50.
Thanks off the additional suggestions.
I already have a Seiko automatic diver, but I find it too bulky to wear everyday.
I can't make my mind up on the Skagens, but something from Yokoobies (Harold) might fit the bill.
Chronographs are ok, but the dials are a bit too busy for me.
Any more for any more ?
I had a seiko 5 and found it noisy and it just felt a bit rattly or loose, it was also a terrible time keeper.
My latest is the seconda titanium chronograph and for the money it is great, looks more expensive than it's price tag and as it's full titanium it is surprisingly light

I would suggest that there was something wrong with it ,I have a oldish one that is pretty quiet the only time I here anything is either when holding it directly to my ear ,or giving it a swing in a quiet room then I can just about here the rotor winding.
Mines good for a few seconds a week and is worn for everything at work including hammering,drilling with a Bosch Hammer drill etc.
Seiko 5's are great for the money.

Hmmmm, there's a problem with that, then. Neither of my Seiko's are at all audible, in any circumstances, even utter silence, and the 5 is no worse than any digital watch like my Casio. I haven't worn it for extended periods since I got my SPORK, and that is very accurate now I've tweaked it, but I don't think the 5 is more than a minute or so a month out.
My 70's Yema, which is pure mechanical, is fairly loud when it ticks, I can hear it a metre away late at night, but otherwise it's a lovely movement, now it's been serviced. Same movement as Raymond Weil and Breightling used back then, apparently.
Got 2 Seikos. 1 5 military in black and the one that Captainflasheart posted.
Both excellent. Really excellent.
Just recieved my watch, ordered from watch hubs in HK with their free post option.
I've decided to go for one of these

Ticks all the boxes for me and well under budget.
