I'm based in Scotland, having moved here from Bristol in 2018. I have managed to rotate (one watch at a time) through Speedmasters, Aqua Terra, G Shocks, several casios, IWC Mark XVI, Hamiltons and others. This watch hobby is an illness, but one I'm hoping not to recover from. Currently wearing a Casio and taking stock. I'm in watch rehab. The best bit of advice is to get a watch for YOU. Don't listen to youtubers, just try watches on and discover what YOU like. Doesn't matter about the cost, or what's considered "best watch under £1000" by others. I'm narrowing my preference down to 36-38mm legible watches (pilot or field style), which are high quality, discreet and covered in scratches from a life well lived.

I prefer solid case back in most cases (pun intended). If it's a stunning movement, then I accept an open case back.
I like the feel of steel
