@JB @radar Cheers for the info! I’ll try to find a nomos stockist to showroom it... really like the black/dark grey faced ones but keep going back to the white with pink (?) numerals with orange second hand...
the Bremont display was next to the Tudor so I tried a vintage look diver that was smaller than most others, it was nice but £1000 more than the Tudor and very obviously ‘vintage look’...
I’ll check out Oris - cheers again all!

Yeah, Oris Sixty Five is really nice and can be had cheap on the grey market. Nomos is stocked in Selfridges. Have definitely seen them in Watches of Switzerland too. Selfridges have a variety of their models, WoS only have the more premium models. Selfridges ones are in the basement opposite the wine shop with the 'cheaper' watches, rather than the watch room.

They're a German micro-brand that got heaps of praise from, Reddit, the watchsnob and hoodinkee. Essentially for offering in-house movements with original design at ultra-competitive prices. (As opposed to just repackaging mass market movements with some faux heritage marketing). They now also make some much more expensive models.
You'll definitely need to try the Club on before you buy as it has quite long lugs, so doesn't necessarily wear like you might expect it to. Because of that, if it works for you I'm sure you could get a good deal 2nd hand from someone who didn't try it on first. Personally I love the way it looks... just not on my wrists unfortunately :(
Bremont got quite a bit of backlash from the internet for over-marketing a while back, and just generally being a bit expensive for what they are. I've just always thought they make quite big watches, but otherwise look nice.
The new range of Oris watches seem to have been pretty popular the last few pages. The 65's are also nice because they've sacrificed a bit of water depth (only 100m) to make them thinner.
