Horologists
I quite fancy getting myself a new watch and have my eye on something from the Casio Edifice range. Anyone got one or can recommend something similar? I prefer leather straps, analogue dials and a chronograph

Re: Horologists
I find that pretty well all watches do one thing and one thing only - tell the time.
That's why I've never paid more than 30 quid for one.

Yep, same here. Got an Accurist which I have had for ages. Never have to change it until the battery runs out.
Don't always believe what you think, because sometimes its' a load of shite

Not sure how often he comes this far south, but gave me some good advice on an old Tag. Will PM him. But his watch taste, unlike ladies,

Re: Horologists
Casio Edifice is a nice watch at that price range also look at Seiko such as the SNA411 or SSC009P2Arty Morty wrote:I quite fancy getting myself a new watch and have my eye on something from the Casio Edifice range.

Citizen Skyhawk and Navihawk ranges are fun although more expensive
I always buy a watch with a bracelet, as long as it has a standard fitting onto the watch you can take it off and play around with different leather straps and still have the bracelet if you fancied a change

Re: Horologists
The best watches I've ever owned were made by Timex. Mrs S doesn't like me wearing them, or asking for a new one for Christmas, due to the bitterness felt towards the company after they closed their Dundee factory.

The old Scottish made Timex mechanicals will run for ever and don't need much in the way of servicing.

You should wear them with pride for what once was and not what happened
