Dear forumers..

I nit some recommendations here.. my budget is around 1-2k.. I have looked at the 1st page.. and found that CW C8 Pilot MK1 is very appealing to me.. before this i was thinking to get tissot t-touch.. it was 2k +..

do we do the shopping here ?

anymore recommendations here ? anything within the budget range..

U cannot shop in LYN.
what design u looking at? CW is mechanical iirc andT-touch is quartz.
more info on your needs would be helpful.
Sorry what i meant was do we do the shopping through the website ?

I have made up my mind to eliminate tissot..

I would prefer something rather rare in the sense that not easily be bought from retail shops.. in this case CW will be a good choice ?

I prefer leather straps and mechanical.. chrono with super-luminova if possible.. but the c8 pilot is not chrono..

had a look at steinhart.. the watches there are good as well..

do they ship to all countries ?

thanks for the input !

only way to buy is thru the site. below brands all ship worldwide

CW is value for money.
C8 pilot is not chrono, its on leather, mechanical with super luminova (most watch are) and in a soft iron core case (anti magnetic)

Steinhart/Archimede are also good choice.

this is EUR$643

archimede is ~EUR$751 but their case is better built

Guinand is a great choice, display back and nicely decorated like Stowa (no need to wait! plus U can customize your watch without extra cost!) ~EUR$655

Yes with superluminova. I think the option is only with or without logo dial, the transparent case back is standard for Miyota version.
But no harm asking them  laugh.gif
