In the market for a new watch, dont know if i can justify going as high as an Omega, but like Tag's and anyone know if Tissot are any good ? they seem pretty reasonably priced and look well made

The citizen ecodrive range are good. I've had mine for six years and never had a problem. They are powered by your movement and never need a battery. The glass is scratch resistant and mine looks as good as new. They look good and like they cost a lot more that the £400 mine cost

You after a timepiece or just a bog standard watch? Omega are very good, pre owned can be good value and look retro chic

What constitutes a "Bog standard watch"?
Have you got an example for interests sake :-)

timepiece i guess one to last and grow in value

What sort of money? If you want a premium brand try pre-owned

Entry level for a timepiece would be around £1000 but you can pick up a niece pre owned Omega for £300-400, might have to by a new strap which can cost £70 ish for a calf skin or more for an alligator skin. Buckles cost around the same. John Lewis do a nice budget Swiss railway watch which I think look nice for around £300, Mondail I think they're called or something

I had a Tissot for 3 years and was a great watch. Lost it about 3 months ago and just bought another one for £400 and really like it. Thats my kinda price range for a watch really so Tags and above are a bit out of my price range.

Genuine rolex in steel is less than £2,000
