Hi I need some help, I dont know what I'm looking for but here goes, I want a watch not rolex as I only have a £2000 budget, I would like stainless steel, white face must have a date window with magnification, I would prefer used but must be complete set, I know I dont want much but hopeing you guys can throw something in the mix I may be missing.
fingers crossed

Could get a brand new steinhart. 2nd hand Omega Seamaster? althought that wouldn't have a white face.

Get a preowned seamaster or tudor black bay.

Personally, I would get an Oris 65 or a used Tudor black bay or a Steinhart (as previously suggested) with that budget. But it will be difficult to find one with your criteria. White dial/date certainly not available in Oris 65 or Blackbay.

Couple of options ;

Sinn
http://www.chronomaster.co.uk/sinn/w...acelet/104-wb/

Get Rolex classic in silver and Save up a few extra quid (you might be able to negotiate them down a bit?) ...

http://www.chronomaster.co.uk/new/wa...-dial/rol-699/

Up & coming reasonably priced UK brand with nice looking watches & some white dials & date (but no date mag) ;

https://farer.com

You can get a used Tag Heuer Grand Carrera for£1500 with cream/white dial. do Ebay search.

I like the Sinn referenced above.

Would also check out speedmaster date as well as grand seiko

I would definitely go for Sinn if these are your requirements.

If a SS steel strap is not essential, then I would look at Nomos too.

Also, have a look at Alpina
I think you'll struggle to find anything with a date 'magnifier' though ..

Used Panerai? May fall just over budget.

Thank you I am looking at all the suggestions, any thoughts on tudor heritage chrono, and I know they have a sliver face but seen Tudor Grantour Chronograph in my price range ??
