Just saw this thread and thought I'd chip in (late). I've owned Tag, Omega and Oris autos costing between £600 and £1500. All lovely looking watches, and the Omega was pretty robust, but none of them could keep time for sh1t. Which to me is rather the point. And then you have the servicing...

Hi all. Just back from getting the bracelet sized. The watch, finally, looks brilliant. Thanks for all your help!

Hi all I'd like to buy a radio controlled, solar powered G Shock. The thing is, I want something as smart, slim and premium as possible for an office environment. I see there's a new Aviator Premium 4000D, and have seen the MTG-1500B model too. I'm getting a bit drowned in all the model...
