Thanks for all the pointers here. I had a look on Timefactors and they have a lot of nice stuff, however most of it seems to be sold out or discontinued. The Smiths PRS-29 is a nice looking watch but it's too similar in style to his CWC G10. The Precista PRS-82 is a really nice looking piece as well but I'm not sure if, snobbishly, I need to get him something from an "established" manufacturer. I know these look great, are made in GB and are limited run for the most part. I know that they use similar if not the same quality of ETA or japanese movements that things like the Hamilton uses but I'm not sure if it has the name. I know that sounds both snobby and pretty stupid when I don't have the budget to get an Omega or a Breitling etc but with it being a milestone gift, I want it to be something that he can be proud of. It's also hard not being able to see these in the flesh before I bite the bullet.
