OMO: Watch suggestions
 

Morning Org,
I've been after a new watch for a while, currently I have a chunky PRG-60T (and quite like the size)

I'm looking for something a bit different, I've found two possibilities before but I know the members of the org are fashionable and flash so I wondered if anyone had any suggestions, along the lines of these two:

Rotary Skeleton:

And the Nixon Private SS:

Both analog but I prefer digital if I'm honest, but I want something that looks elegant. I'm looking at £150 max I'd guess, I'm not fussed about the movement, I'd like a night light option but the two I've posted don't have that so it's not essential.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

I've just got a watch (6 months ago) from Animal. I was looking for something reasonably robust, waterproof and automatic (no batteries).

I think it looks good. Gets a lot of positive comments. Good value at £159.

The back is glass so you can see the movement, so a little bit different.

I've just realised, this thread is likely to be a showcase of the 10:10 marketing premise :) I should have been 45 mins earlier on my watch shot.

Nice, I quite like that Scoobs, will go investigate, thanks for the suggestion

Light, subtle, simple, elegant and unobtrusive every time. Big look-at-me watches just don't do it for me.

I love watches, infact I love watches way to much... I very nearly bought a Tag Monaco 24 last week, it's a beautiful thing with some sexual engineering. The calibre 36 movement floats on 4 shocks in the middle of the casing.

What type of watch are you after, more of a dress watch?

Re: OMO: Watch suggestions
 

I've the Nixon Private SS in the same colour as above and I really like it. It has no date, no timing function or a light but I only want it as a watch and I've had a few comments on how nice it looks and It's nice to have a watch that is just a watch with no extra bling on.

Re: OMO: Watch suggestions
 

In truth I'm not sure, I'm thinking more of a smart one. A bit of a departure from my usual. I'm usually after indiglo and usual geeky features but I think I'm down to 2 choices now after a heavy morning browsing :)

Will sleep on it and try to decide

That see through one is so awesome. I know if I got it I would be watching it all day :lol:
Pretty good price too

+1 although I do like nice watches, I can't bring myself to buy something that expensive.

Plus with my job, I buy £5.99 Lidl ones, so it doesn't matter if I break them :-D

I like watches but if your budget is sensible how about one of these:

I wouldn't rule out the more pricey marques as a pre-loved Rolex/Omega/Tag can be had at sensible prices.
