The Italian is an odd specification. Any particular reason?

Loads of stunning dress watches from other nationalities including Japan - Seiko make lovely affordable dress watches.

What’s your budget because affordable is a very fluid concept

I have my grandads old watch from the 70s but it’s. Ano name brand with a gold case. It’s not really part of my collection

The oldest watch in my collection is actually an armani fashion watch. As much as I would never normally bother with a fashion watch, my wife bought me this when I graduated from basic training and we had zero money so it means more to me sentmently. That would 2009.

I have a very similar watch - seiko Presage zen Garden-and I really like it. It’s more of a formal watch rather than an every day wear.

Quality is good, it’s reliable and I personally really like the open heart. I paid £730 new and that’s probably top end of what I would be willing to pay. I do sometimes find myself looking at the cocktail range and thinking I should have got one of them instead.

Will it get robbed? I mean it’s not a massively desirable watch. When I wear miner I tend to keep it covered outside like any of my watches.
