What time is it? Watches and horology

I like the Doxa. The £1000 tool watch market is pretty wide, loads to choose from. You could go "proper" micro brands to suit your tastes - usual suspects are Aevig (I like the Huldra for a tool diver), Magritte, Baltic and Alkin and they'll all come in well under budget.

You could prob get an Oris at the top end of the budget as they're being discounted at the mo - this one is similar to the Doxa with maybe a more relaxed vintage vibe and its on for £1,050 in a range of colours: https://www.watches-of-switzerland.co.uk/Oris-Divers-Sixty+Five-Mens-Watch/p/17600895/?utm_content=shopping___adty__pla___prch__local___stco__488___prid__17600895&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqO3c0N3u5gIVTbDtCh33KQ1qEAQYBiABEgLIj_D_BwE

Shameless plug, but if you're after a proper indestructible toolwatch with loads of watch geek tech like anti magnetic / 500m depth / air dehumidifying then I've got a Sinn EZM3 that I still haven't got round to listing anywhere (it's a new years resolution to sort it out). It's on a strap and just over 1 year old (so just under 2 years warranty left) and has been babied - RRP is about £1500 but you can have it for £800 ono. Give me a shout if you're interested. https://www.sinn.de/en/Modell/EZM_3.htm
