Himself has offered to buy me a new watch. I want something slim and modern. I fancy the Skagen watches but they are a bit pricey. The Olivia Burton ones are fun but not quite the colours I like.

So can any of you recommend a watch you are pleased with?

That's a good recommendation Ana

I swear by my oyster. Not the most elegant, but very practical. If I fall off the boat while cruising, it's guaranteed down to 300metresgrin

The downside being that, if someone leapt overboard to rescue you, they might just rescue the watch and leave you to your fate sad.....

It's worth more than I am, so probablysmile

Tegan I think maybe who ever rescued dear Galen would have to choose between her pearls or her oyster hmm

Maybe that's where she gets her pearls from?

My shiny new watch Galen only goes down to 50 metres, but as I can hardly swim I hope I stay land bound. hmm

My DH gave me an elegant white gold little thing that I cannot read. So pretty but needs manual winding so spends a lot of time at the jewellers having a new spring. DH then got me a lovely ladies watch a Mont Blanc which has the beautifully clear numbers and a clear un fussy face. I love it. I take a Timex abroad again a big clear face. So sad my eyesight letting me down.

I've just ordered a skagen dress gold mesh bracelet on your lots say so that they're good.
I've wanted a dress gold coloured watch for ages.
It's only spash proof though. I'll only wear it for evening does on board.

(Have to make sure I don't go too near the rails!tbgrin

This is the one it's lovely and clear. Not that I'm always on time.
