Hi all
I don’t have a decent quartz and am looking at a “grab and go” - what do folk suggest
Budget is up to about £400-£500 but I’m much happier at a lower figure
Like dive style watches
Happy to look at decent homages from Ali Express
Needs to be bigger than 40mm
Main watches at mo are King Seiko etc size
Any links or pics appreciated

Squale or Scurfa.

£150 ish for the Ecodrive Citizen BN151
CWC not this particular model but the Mark 1 (new) and SBS (used) are in budget. Lovely case and dial, good build quality and great heritage.

I have a quartz Longines Hydroconquest on bracelet and although it's the 39mm model, it's a great grab and go.I thought the 41mm would be too big for me but it may work for you .I'll see if I can post a picture later.
Go vintage - get a nice Girard Perregaux 352!
Has to be in a bracelet guys too sorry
Keep them coming

- Yobokies Stainless shroud
- Domed crystal (Tempus watch mods)
- Watch Gecko Bracelet
The watch Seiko should have made (IMHO) - More info in this thread...Seiko Solar Tuna Mod

Can’t go wrong with a 7548

There’s a nice SMCM025 perpetual calendar Pepsi HAQ on WUS for $650
Trying and failing to add link and photos from WUS from my iPad……
Very very niceQuote:

I'm very impressed with it so far and it's well under your budget.
Most of my watches are divers and I'm enjoying something a bit different.

I've had it a few years, and having just had a look I didn't realise they are a bit above your price range unless you can find a discounted one.
Agreed. Look no further. And these come on a bracelet for around 50-80(?) quid more.

Certina DS Action quartz diver. 43mm and available in green, black or a rather nice blue dial. List is £525 but should be easy to get a good discount.
Old 1980`s Seiko diver maybe, once long ago they used to make very high quality quartz movements before they cheaped out to China or whatever happend to them.
I had a 1982 model but forget the model number, it was under 200 and had been restored and serviced actually
Hamilton do some nice field quartz watches.
G-Shock have some full metal squares in your budget.
I like the Citizen eco-drives too.
Pre owned Marinemaster Tuna would be my choice but might be closer to 600.
I was going to suggest a Marathon TSAR or GSAR quartz, which ever one is the right one! The bracelet is super solid, but looking at prices might have to be second hand as they seem to have got up substantially since I bought mine several years ago!

Edit: The GSAR is the 40mm, the JSAR is 46mm, the GSAR is the auto I think…
That would be my choiceQuote:

I’ll support both the 7548 and 300m Tuna suggestions, although the 7548 is half the Tunas price

I’ve picked up a citizen from here so I’ll see if I can bond with it

Probably one of the best quartz watches I've handled at the price point. Good choice.Quote:
