pozbaird Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Until Covid put the kybosh on my trips to the USA, I came across a beachwear style chain of shops there called Tommy Bahama. About twenty years ago, I bought a Tommy Bahama watch for about the £60 mark, and it is still my daily go-to watch. I now own four of their watches. Indestructible, just keep going and going, looking good and without doubt, the best watches I’ve ever owned.

I asked my maw for a Rolex for my Birthday but she's a pensioner and I might be ripping the pish. This one's around £300, not fussed about the inner workings etc.. But just would like a decent looking watch That's quite a drop from a Rolex! Tissot are ok, if that's your budget, check out Seiko and G-Shock as well. Steer clear of 'fashion watches' like Armani etc. Thank you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are an actual watchmaker, not a fashion brand with cheap rubbish inflated by the badge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA what size is the case? Very tempted. You can, quick release spring bars, G-Shock make other straps for it. Think the case is 44, big size, but the great design makes it look smaller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not normally a big Tag fan but that is lovely. I’d say for a decent watch like that if you’re not confident then get someone to do it. i was given a watch making experience for Christmas this year. Seems like a good couple of hours learning a bit about the company, watchmaking and putting together a custom timepiece. It’s never going to rival a Rolex but the sentimental value behind it will mean it’s one that stays in the collection for a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dundee Derry colours always trump day-glo orange. Everyone on this forum knows that! Very nice watch. Personally I’d leave the experts to take out a link. I certainly wouldn’t be practicing on your new watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
