Suggestion for watch

Hi, I know a lot of you are cool tor’s of very high end watches but wondering if you would be able to give any advise on the following.

My friend is looking for a watch around £150-£200 GBP (but could possibility stretch that a little higher)

Are there any good watches for around this price? Any suggestion. He doesn’t have any specific requirements although I think he would prefer a watch with a metal strap. He would be wearing as an everyday watch / watch to work.

Any ideas? And many thanks in advance.

Pretty much any Seiko is a good choice in that price range, just surf around Amazon.

I second Seiko. Amazon.co.uk's prices on Seiko's are higher than Amazon and the selection, especially in turtles and 007's etc is not a broad. Pop into the Seiko Boutique on Brompton Rd and look at some options, the search online for prices.....

I second asiparks’ suggestion to head to the Seiko Boutique, really cool shop.

If your mate could stretch his budget a little bit to £300-odd, I’d seriously consider SRPB41J1...

Many thanks for your suggestions, was trying to lean him towards a Seiko but I think he is going to go for a fashion watch, Diesel or Armani.
