I'm currently looking for a new watch. I'd like an elegant watch with a touch of luxury, not too eye caching and not too small (at least 40mm). My budget is around 200 pounds (250 EUR, 300 USD). After looking for ages, I've come across a perfect candidate, but it has a flaw; it's a designers watch (Armani AR0671). Here's the picture of it:
It's perfect as far as the looks go, but I don't want to pay 3/4 of the price just for the brand on it, as it's probably made in China anyway.
Here's my attempt at summing it all up:
Size: 40mm - 45mm
Styling:: classical look, but not too empty (i.e. not just hour ticks and 2 hands). I'd really like roman numerals on it.
Colour: classical (brown, bronze with metal, can also have a hint of gold somewhere, but not too much)
Strap: leather
Case: preferably a little contoured glass so it doesn't look like I'm wearing a box on my hand
Budget: up to 200 pounds
Movement: might as well be quartz, but I wouldn't mind mechanical if there's something decent in this price range
Brand: any decent brand except designer watches with exaggerating prices
What I'm looking for then is something very similar to the above, but with decent enough quality that I won't have to bother you again for the next couple of years.
