Ideas

Done

  • Dress
    • £130: Green Orient Bambino, lovely posh dress watch, but maybe too much for everyday
    • £160: Seiko SNXS79 (Dark grey/black dial, dressy, solid Oyster Perpetual homage) - didn't do this in the end
  • NonBronze Pilot
    • £120 San Martin Type B in the end
    • Laco Type B perhaps? But may be tricky for sub £200 - couldn't find
  • Mondaine
    • Berny
      • £78: Berny "Railway watch" AM138MS-L £78, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004800723156.html (Automatic, MIYOTA 8215, silver, lume background, filled second hand bulm)
      • £40: Date is windowed - but has non-filled second hand
      • Basically there's no watch that has both the right second hand and a decent date window. I'd buy the £78 if there was no date!
    • Getting 2nd hand elegant/thin 36mm - from Chrono24 for about £140
  • Vintage
    • £200: Seiko Recraft SNKP27 £200, also SNKM27 - got it for £130 from US
  • Pamphibian

Abandoned

  • Bronze Pilot (San Martin, Steeldive, Tandorino) - got a Bronze pamphibian Tc-9, don't really want more than one
  • Invicta stuff - it's a bit cheap - avoid the blue/gold mix
