Help! Good value for money watch @ 50-60K.

[khaleelda1]

Hi guys!
i just got presented a Rado Diaster and i dont like it (to put is politely)

called up the store and he is ready to exchange. Now the problem is what watch do i get in this range??
i have no clue about brands and models. What i like to have is a functional watch, not just for show, something like pressure meter depth meter, charging by light/vibrations etc etc i really like those kind of things although not all those functions are pratical in day to day life.....but still .

The watch costs 50K + i have a buffer of another 10K.
Another alternate is i get 2-3 watches, something like sports, another one formal, casual etc...
so far i could set my heart only on Casio edifice series...but thats just 10-15K.
another one is Citizen Men's Blue Angels, but i doubt if it is available, also not as many features as i would like for a 30K+ watch.

Please help!

If I have to spend 50k+ I'll go for Casio EQW-A1200 RBW (it is less than 40k IIRC) or Seiko Premier Kinetic

If he will refund, take that money back.

@Roxtin
Although I steer clear of limited editions this red bull looks just awesome!!!
I really didn't understand your sieko suggestion

Can someone explain what features/functions should I be looking for. Compass, stopwatch, scratch resistance, accurate time and ace workmanship is claimed by almost everyone! !

 

[Roxtin]

Only thing I look for is looks and appeal. Having a funky watch is more of a conversation starter, 96% you will never use any function apart from checking time. So look for accuracy, build and A.S.S. This can be obtained in as less as 4k to as high as no limit

6.8k here.

But the OP may have to pay full MRP if he have to buy it from the local shop. I say get the refund if possible.

I know its 7-ish on Flipkart. But in case of buying from dealer, you pay full MRP, so I gave that full price link.

timex is really out of question in this range i feel...
after a lot of eye reddening, finger tip numbing research online i could zero in on 2 chronographs....really not able to chose one among them
Casio edifice EQW-A1200DB-1A

and the Citizen Skyhawk Blue Angels JY0050-55L (availibility doubtful)

both should be around 30K, which gives me space for a formal watch.
Following are the details of the two
