Best e500 watch with a twist?

saccades

I have been given a e500 one4all voucher as part of my 5 years service.

Fancy another watch, but it has to be from somewhere that takes the vouchers. Fields, Weir etc

I mainly have (Seiko) divers so a cocktail time is attracting my eye currently.

Anything else I'm missing and should have a look at?

Tissot PRX if you wanted something other than Seiko

Weirs also take One4All as far as I know. They’ve a nice selection of Bulova - I like this

That's really nice. Exactly the kind of thing I'd not think about.

That and the cocktail time in a fight at the mo.

Wow, quite surprised there isn't a hefty margin on this. I've these for more than 600 online from European dealers.

Yeah €300 and a bit seems to be the going price online for these. I paid €320 from watch shop.co.uk but that was end of 2020 so would have avoided taxes .

If possible I would add €200 to the voucher and buy a tissot prx

And no mention of it being a Lunat

And no mention of it being a Lunar Pilot but referred to as a Chrono

Had a look at the Tissot prx and it does nothing for me.

Some of the Frederique constant watches are also catching my eye, I presume part of the Swatch group?

Going to go up to Dublin in 2 weeks (wedding this week) and have a look in the flesh.

You can get the 500e voucher transferred to your bank account. they charge an eight euro fee. But its worth it in my opinion.

Least then your not restricted to where you can spend it., or the spending limits applied on it. €50 online and some shop restrict it to €150

from the terms and conditions.

10.1 You may at any time request us to repay to you any remaining balance on the Card by calling us on 01 870 8111 and quoting the Card number. You must not use your Card after you ask us to repay the balance to you. In order to allow any outstanding Card Transactions to clear, GVS will refund the balance to you by bank transfer to your nominated bank account

Frederique Constant are owned by Citizen now.

I'd spend your one4all on groceries for the month with Tesco/Dunnes so you'll have €500 to spend wherever you want and will have some chance of getting a discount. You'll get nothing paying by One4all. It's what I did last December to put it towards my Stowa!

I'd check Hour Passion in Kildare Village. A Hamilton Field Khaki would be under budget. They do Certina too a DS diver might not be too far over budget there.

At €500 the Cocktail Time would be tempting me too but more than likely I'd go with another Seiko Diver as I know I'd wear it a lot more! Any case types you don't have?

I can't trade the voucher in as it's my second this year. Well I can, but would take the tax hit.

Buying the groceries is the sensible option, but I'll have to be very organised. Could be tricky.

Only divers I'm missing is a sumo and a samurai really. I just think I've enough divers at the mo.

I prefer citizen to Swatch group.

You don't need to spend it all in one go.

Seiko Alpinist?

I don't have one myself but more than a few on the forum have one and would disagree. The aventurine dial doesn't photograph the best but in the flesh looks great.

$500+220 fees might be worth a look.

99.9% sure I can't use a voucher for that.

HaHa yes 100%. Just trying to show you something different for around the €500 mark. Did you get anything yet?

saccades

No, at a wedding last night and the missus liked a red cocktail time so I might get her that as a little something as part of our 20th later in the year.
