Hey everyone, I'm new to watches, trying to get into it on a student budget, preferably to €300. I've got a small wrist at about 6 inches, so 38mm diameter or 45mm lug to lug is a max. I'm a big fan of dress watches and leather straps, and a date window is a must for me.
So far the models I've found that I like are:
- My favorite but going a bit above my budget - Seiko Presage SRPE43;
- Orient Bambino 38mm (in both silver and gold);
- Seiko 5 SNKL23 or SNKL45 (white 41 too) or SNK361 which are my current picks because of the price, but I'd want to change the bracelet to a leather strap and I'm not sure how that would look.
Now that you know my style, I'd love for some other suggestions or feedback on my picks. The more I look, the more models I find and the decision becomes harder hah.
TLDR: Looking for a watch max 38mm, €300, date window, preferably leather strap, love a bit unusual dials like seiko presage series.
Thanks!
Seiko Presage is often sell at discount. I suggest to take a look at online seller and watch stores in your region. Unless there is a major price hike, around $300 is a regular price.
