Help me find a good watch with leather wristband on a budget?

I'm looking for a watch, but probably have about £40 to spend. Ideally I'd love something beautiful, a bit quirky , but good quality, with a leather wristband. I'm not a massive fan of Swatch really. I've looked on ebay, but not really sure what makes to look for.

Have you tried Pilgrim?

Find a watch with a dial you like, ignore the wristband! It's easy to buy a leather strap for a standard watch.

I'll look at Pilgrim thanks.

Charity shops. They have loads. Can get a new strap for about £15.

Thanks, i think the men's would be too big for my wrist, it's quite thin. Good to get some suggestions though.

I Never see any in charity shops here! Just piles of cheap beads.

Honestly I’ve bought my last three watched over 10 years in charity shops. They’re usually locked away in the cabinets.

I'll have to ask in my local charity shop. I just want something a bit quirky but good quality.
