With the weather doing what it is I am seriously hoping for a "snow day" tomorrow. Time to kick back, browse the web and take my mind of my hospital visit on Sat... I've got a few (non-watch) items for sale on the Bay which should give me a budget of £300-350 to splash out by the end of next week.
Im looking for an alternative, affordable option to what I consider "iconic" watches; watches that, to me, have some aesthetic, horological or historic significance that I'd like to add to my collection. Whatever I get I will consider to be a keeper and to be worn on a regular basis with my other wrist offerings. Needs to be reliable, accurate and weather-resistant and robust enough for everyday wear...
I have narrowed my search to the following: (in no specific order):
Seiko SKX013 - I'd like the classic SKX007, but the big size does not sit comfortably on me.
Seiko Alpimist - love the history associated to this piece, love the internal bezel, love the green, and have got a lovely deep green strap just waiting to be used.
Seiko SNA411 - as close to a Navitimer as I am likely to get...
Seagull 1965 - something about the way the colours of the hands pop out on that cream face really captivates me. Vintage look, modern watch, I'll go for the 38mm
Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions?
