Good watch brands

Certain watches shout 'watch guy' to the trained eye. Easy to spot, but it's not always obvious.
I've struck up many a convo with someone who is wearing an interesting piece, they always turn out to be knowledgable.
If someone owns an oris, they haven't bought it by accident or coincidence, as it's off the radar to most. Any watch on a nato, usually a watch guy.
Speedy on vintage leather, watch guy. Tag monaco, seiko skx, any orient, even the vostoks, all usually mean the same.
It's the first thing I look for when meeting someone.
Yeah, I know, i'm weird lol

My wife spotted an Oris on a flea market in Blackpool years ago. Bought it straight away for £100. Still going strong. She wears it most days.

Would you recommend one? I've a few Hamilton's but they're a bit boring.

Yep, the trident is a great watch malg. The finishing is up there with watches costing a lot more. Built like a tank as well.
The new price has crept up over the last few years, but they still offer good value imo.
Dont pay full retail, sign up to the mailing list, for 2 reasons. They will send you loupe, the magazine, which is a good read, (think its bi-monthly) and they also send vouchers out giving you a discount off a watch purchase, probably £100 off a trident.
They also seem to hold their value as well. In fact mk1 tridents seem to be getting more sought after.
Hope that helps
