    I want to spend no more than £500 on a GOOD watch. I don't want Armani, or Boss or any of that ****e "Designer" crap where you are simply paying for the name, I want a classic "submariner" type sports watch, metal wrist strap and bezel, you know the sort of thing.

    Now, should I buy a second hand (pardon the unintentional pun) Tag Heuer or Bulgari or similar (I don't want a Rolex either) or can anyone recommend one they have bought within that price range?

    Second hand, you won't get a decent one from those brands for that money...

    I'm looking and they have all gone up a **** load in the last year!

    Try this dude on eBay Dev. I've bought a few Zodiac watches off him.

    **** knows what he's got at the minute though.

    Are Tag, or at least Bulgari not considered "Designer"?

    No. They specialise in watches.

    I need one on medical grounds, to tell me when to make my essential bowel movements - unless of course, I read posts such as this ^^^ which is plenty enough to give me the sh1ts.

    I find that Countdown ( Rachel Riley ) is a good watch.

    Well being as i believe you are ex army, i presume you could tell us mere mortals what was a good watch, night time, day time, morning sunrise or evening sunset?

    We did'nt call it a "watch", that's the navy, we called it a "stag".
