I need a watch

I've been without a watch for about 4 years because I can't find one I like.
If I could afford it, I'd buy a cartier tank with a tan leather strap. But I can't!
Can anyone point me towards any nice watches??

Have you looked at Michael Kors? Expensive but gorgeous Smile

My birthday this month I'm hoping for a Breil watch love them.

I was just given an Accurist Charmed watch.

Mine is that plain silver one. It has a mother of pearl face and two plain silver ball charms.

I love it, it's plain and simple and looks lovely

If you like a bit of bling though can get sparkly ones and put lots of charms on the them as you can see on the website.

What's your budget? Do you want a fashion watch or a classic style that you can have for years?

I have this watch, it took me ages to find a nice plain one that I could afford:

I don't have one but I fancy a Mondaine watch www.jurawatches.co.uk/collections/mondaine-watches/products/mondaine-simply-elegant-watch-a6723035016sbm-md-057. I , too, would really like a Cartier Tank but if I come into that sort of cash it'll be going on a dirty great f-off diamond.

Thanks everyone.
I really like Michael Kors watches, especially the rose tone ones. Keep looking at the rose one with the blue face but think I should go for something more sensible that wont date.
Budget is up to £200, think I want something plain with black or brown leather strap that will last for years. About a year ago there was a Burberry one in house of fraser that had a dark brown leather strap and small rectangular mother of pearl face. It was lovely!
Oh and dirty great big diamond - yes, I'd like one of those too please!

Vintage ladies Rolex. A Tudor rose perpetual motion. If you keep an eye out on eBay you can get a nice condition one for just over £200. I brought one for my mum recently. I have one that I inherited its a mid 50's but it's very reliable and I think attractive.

DH gave me a rose gold Michael Kors for my birthday just before Christmas. The strap broke the day it was given to me so was returned for a new one, on which the clasp broke in April. I have just had it back from MK and the strap has been replaced, but I don't trust it so have bought a neon Swatch for my day to day wear and will save the MK for evening etc. Not the best value IMO.

If you like Michael Kors you will probably love Marc Jacobs. Have a look in the main website. I'm looking at the stainless steel and two tone Henry watches myself.
