Ok it's a recommend me a watch time :-)

Post by carlt69 »

But it's slightly different, I want a watch for my dad, preferable blue face and definitely a auto.

It has to be around £150, so I've been looking at Orient, and maybe Invicta, but all suggestions appreciated :thumb:

Thanks

I think for the price, and in blue, you would be hard pushed to beat something Japanese - either Richard's suggestion or a blue Mako.

Well I think it's gonna be the Mako. Does anyone know what the difference between the CEM65005DV and the CEM75002D is?

It's baffling me :lol:

I think (but don't quote me!) the 65 is the standard 41mm Mako (I've got the yellow one - love it!) and the 75 is the 44mm Mako XL
