Good cheap watch - parthiban - 26-08-2017

I want to get a cheapish watch that I can use everyday - one that I don't need to worry about too much if I accidentally hit something with it but one that still looks good (still want it to go well with a suit) Smile

Any recommendations? As I said, reasonably cheap would be preferable so would like to keep it under £200 if poss.

Hi mate, well i have all ways like rolex, but no way i would pay what they ask from some of them, so last year xmas time it was i started to look at Replica one, and i seen one that i liked and for the price i had to see what it was like, it cost me £110 with shipping, for that price i was willing to take the risk,

I have had it for 10 months now, still work as good as the day i got it. i have all so gone to rolex to see how it looks next to the same one, i can tell you now only i guy that works for rolex could tell it was a replica Wink

Take alook on this site, http://www.swissexpert.net/

and its swiss made

Those replicas actually look **** good! Tempted by the Patek Philippe but most people would be pretty sure I couldn't afford one of those!

I have always had a decent Tissot for an everyday watch, change the strap to a steel one as I dont like leather :wink:. Not as "flash" as a PP or Rolex (both great watches) but realiable & has stood up to some abuse.

I also have a Tissot, Titanium case and strap, ultra reliable and good value (for a Swiss watch). You can get the Stainless steel ones for around £200??

Nice watch!!

Always liked the Bretlings.

I love watches and have a Breitling Bell & Ross and a Rolex copy and Raymond Weil

My recommendation for your budget is to buy a seiko
But whatever you buy try and buy a watch that has swiss movement and is not made by someone else, like armani watches are.

Good luck in your search

Is that a real one bandit?

Do like Breitlings, but they're a bit too big for my small wrists unfortunately......don't know much about Tissot but will look into their range and see what's available.

Don't really want a fake though as I plan to get a proper nice watch in the next few years too (and they'll get confusing) - plus I wouldn't want to get mugged for the fake PP if some idiot actually thought I was wearing £20k on my wrist...... :tongue_smilie:
