My 30th birthday is coming up and I am fairly certain I want a watch.

As I usually find when I am looking for an expensive-ish item, I start looking further afield.

I started off looking at Invicta watches, which I had never heard of, but stumbled across them, and they were well priced and nice looking. Christopher Ward watches I also stumbled across at this time...
I then moved on to thinking maybe I should get a watch which will always be... worth something I guess...


I looked at Tissot and saw some nice ones and then... I moved onto Oris... and I love one of the F1 Williams watches! Problem is my original thought was to spend £250, Tissot pushed it up slightly and now I have seen this one... it is nearly £1k...

I really want to try and keep it under £500.

I wondered if anyone had any ideas on where to get Oris watches cheaper... Ebay has some, but I suspect I will be taking a risk if it was to develop a fault AND will probably get stung for tax on imports....

There are several variations, but this is the one I have been hunting for more cheaply Oris F1

Can anyone help? Thank you!!!
