Right,

I'm after some help with finding a new watch, i don't know what i'm looking for just that i want a plain black watch, strap, big face with nice bright numbers, i come across the perfect one but it's £900 over my budget, made by U-Boat. I'm only looking to spend £70-£100 max.

So has anyone come across one of know anywhere that might do them, i've searched a few websites but they mostly only do the chrome style ones or black ones with silver bits, or all black with a square face..

I know it does nt have a face Embarassed but the missus bought me a Nike Oregan watch with black strap

https://www.tennisnuts.com/ishop/images/677/NIKE-WA0038001.jpg

£90

Its nice and simple yet quite stylish if you like a big wide bangle type thingy.

The wife had a Diesel one for the christmas before for again around the £100 mark

That one's nice but the silver just puts me off, if only the silver was black. Razz

£100? that looks really, really cheap, looks like something you get from one of those machines you put a pound in and a little round egg thing pops out then you open it and get a watch Laughing

Try here.
https://www.chronomaster.co.uk/

He sells various brands of top quality hand made mechanical watches, that sell more by word of mouth, than by media advertising. A bit expensive, but they are a once in a lifetime purchase. The glycine range should be just what you want. My fiance bought me a glycine incusore. If you want an even larger watch, try the glycine F104. It is probably the largest wrist mounted watch you can get.

There a bit too pricey for me, can only find £500+ very nice designs tho. I'm not really into gadgets & such, just want a plain black face with plain strap. You'd think there would be loads..
