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

agreed, omega seamaster are very good retro watches

also, breitling aviators are holding their price well

I have one identical to this;

Very reliable (gains maybe 2 seconds a month), and is kinetic, so is powered by the movement of your arm/wrist (oo-err!) rather than daylight. A definite plus in sunny (!) Mayo. Got it in a sale in Samuel's for €375, down from €500.

A "Budget" watch for £300?
Some of you lot must actually play for City instead of support them.

Only piece of jewellery a gentleman should own other than a wedding ring if applicable, a nice watch holds its value and can be passed through generations

Under £300? It as to be a Seiko. Good well made and accurate watch.

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

Yep, I can second this. I've had the Skyhawk titanium for a few years. I wear it a lot and it's still absolutely unmarked.

Although it's not in the Rolex/Omega price bracket and unlikely to be an investment, I think you'd struggle to find something as well built within the £300-£400 price range. I travel abroad quite often and the watch uses synchronised world time adjustment to set itself to the current countries time zone, so I never worry about forgetting to re-set the time. It looks a bit spooky at first when you see the hands spinning round on their own. It's also got good water resistance spec to, 20Bar (666ft).

I use a 80 notes Seiko Automatic which is accurate and does the job.
