my hubby has worn the same wristwatch for the last 10 yrs, and we have gone thru some bad times together. Now that things are finally looking up, I thought I would buy him a nice watch for his big 4-0. I have a budget of £400 with a certain amount of flexibility. He is a very simple bloke, who doesn't wear brands, but is now reasonably middle-senior management with a bank in the City. Please help me choose something, which is in keeping with his age and personality...not too blingy or too obvious, if you know what I mean, at the same time something that is understated elegance and people will appreciate that it is an expensive piece (if 400 can be called expensive!). Sorry for rambling on - wanted to give you enough background that you had something to go on. Any suggestions much appreciated. Oh and leather straps only (allergies)..and something universal that he can wear to work with suits of varying colours. Please please help, the big day is barely 2 weeks off!
