To celebrate my new job and role I may treat myself to a watch. As well as wearing a nice suit with nice shoes and nice aftershave. I want to top it off with a fyne accessory to let people know that I am at the top of the food chain.
Can you recommend me something stylish but under £1000?

I myself tend toward rugged watches, like this one, which I love: http://www.casio.com/products/Watches/G-Shock/G9300GB-1
I find the field ones to look rugged and utile, which is what I like about mechanical watches in the first place. You?

And you're asking an alcoholic layabout porn addicted incel to guide you in your choice?

Ok then how about this one? It's slightly above your budget, but worth it: https://www.seikowatches.com/us-en/products/presage/spb091j1

Then check out Seiko's website and see what you like. Remember that they are Japanese, so they value function and efficiency over superfluous complications like the Swiss.

You could always spend the money for a Grand Seiko, but it is above your budget.

What brand would you recommend that had plenty of superfluous complications but where I can get one for under £1k?

Haha I know of no such brand. I mean, if you are willing to lay down some serious pounds, get a Pateke Philippe or a Rolex. I suggested Seiko because they are a great value. You might want to ask Squeegee.

So you're saying that if I want a nice watch to match a nice suit I have to spend a fortune?

Well, sort of. You could get a Timex I guess, as an option. But if you want quality, you will pay for it. Again, ask Squeegee as I am not as expert as he.

I picked my everyday watch up from the Vatican. I figured if I was gonna drop 300 euros on a watch I want the proceeds to go to a good cause, so I decided on the Catholic Church. My purchase will have helped feed and clothe many African children.Father Merrin !u5oFWxmY7U double-posted this 2 years ago, 7 minutes later, 21 hours after the original post[^] [v] #1,243,241

No because no one can offer a simple suggestion. I'm sure I can find a fyne watch for under 1k myself.

Look at the Seiko website. Many of their divers are handsome and not too expensive. I recommend Seiko. That is my simple suggestion. You have to find one that suits your personal taste.
