As a few of you on here love watches I'm interested as to what you would buy with a budget of 600-700? Looking for a gents wrist watch, something that looks fairly good and is well engineered. I don't really know much about watches but been mostly looking at citizens and the like. Would be usefull if it can be bought from a high street retailer as it's a gift for some one and I need it sooner rather than later.

Any help would be appreciated

What sort of style are you looking for?

I've picked most of mine up quite a bit cheaper than RRP.

Aren't Tags just for people that like telling other people that they've got a Tag?

Also, £800 would get you the cheapest Tag they do. It would be a bit different if you had a Tag Carrera for example.

£800 for a watch that takes a battery is ludicrous, £800 tags are also complete shit, better off with one of blukoo's watches.

Feeling the quality of them, especially when changing the extremely cheap feeling bracelets.

£50 watch with a £750 logo.

Agree with the fact that TAG's are crap.

Just look at the bezel on that one jules posted, looks plastic, feels plastic.
