So I'll be hunting for something else.
Perhaps one of the Mondaine's ? :-
Far more reasonable than most big name watches. In fact this is a rare example of a (Swiss) company that has a big enough name to escalate prices enormously, but yet chooses to produce quality watches at a reasonable price. Their quartz movement watches go for £125-200; their mechanical movement watches seem to go up for up to £399.
There's a "Wristwatch Annual" catalogue of watch porn worth getting just to thumb through to say "WTF!?!" when you encounter a watch with a list price of $599,000 (a Vacheron Constatin).
Most of my collection are replica's which are doing fine. Out of the whole bunch, the one that tempts me most is a Bell&Ross :-
I also have a probably genuine Longines (it is emblazoned with an oil company logo - which would be odd for a fake), and a couple of watches from
Christopher Ward.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've found my Wristwatch Annual so I'm going to spend an hour drooling over watch porn
