I was planning on buying myself a new watch this weekend, but apparently there's only one shop (in London of course) in the entire country that sells the one I want. Well bugger that.
Sure they'd post it to you, saw a gorgeous watch he other day, well outside my price range but on the list along with the Ressence, if my numbers ever come up

I got a similar jacket but Timberland off eBay last year.
It was second hand but had been dry cleaned and was like new. Love it.
I think it was about 100.
I'm not really one for second hand clothes but there are bargains to be had on eBay for barely worn jackets. Just be careful of fakes, checkout seller history and other items.
£100-£120 - get a used North Face parka off eBay? I know NF have their critics but their parkas tend to be pretty decent. That Amazon coat doesn't look particularly warm so personally I'd avoid.
If you like the style, Uniqlo have just knocked these down to under £100, which seems pretty reasonable. This Uniqlo coat is more in keeping with the one you posted but just a shade over your budget - very warm though.
Edit: Great minds, Live.
I bought a used jacket off Ebay last month. Was ununsed and had been after one of the Steve McQueen Barbour Parkas for a while. Looks nice on, very toasty, very Surrey and was £150.
Cheers for reminding me about my TimberParka.
Haven't worn it an ages but I think I am going to need it tomorrow.
I have been living in my sheep fleece lined denim Levis jacket so far. Seems these became trendy but you can spot a cheap yet overpriced Topman version a mile off.

Great minds indeed. Jackets are one of those things people spend lots of money on but don't always wear so there is a good second hand market.
I like the Barbour, very mod.

Had a decent bonus last year. Most of it went on a new kitchen and bathroom, but there was a little left for the watch. Had to order it through Ernest Jones who have been excellent.
I generally wear jeans only outside work, but feel as summer is approaching, I should explore the chino trend. Y'all wear them? What's your style? What do you pair them with etc?
Brands to go for/avoid?
I'm falling apart to songs about hips and hearts...
Don't got many pairs though, just Next and one pair of Levis. Both good, but got the Levis from TKMAxx, otherwise wouldn't have paid the full rrp for them normally. The Levis are straight up regular chino beige and the Next ones are a shade darker, I much prefer those. I don't really mess with blue, dark brown, or any other colours for chinos though.
I usually pair with a shirt (any colour really since them chinos are nice and plain) I have a red and black flannel shirt that goes nice, or if you have to go to work and they won't let you wear anything fun they look good with plain dark grey or black shirts.
I also like to wear mine with either a black or white hoodie, but make sure it isn't an oversized skate top if your chinos are just straight or slim cut. Skinny cut chinos? AHAHAHA DONT MAKE ME FUCKING LAUGH, WOT ARE U? ESSEX?
Shoes you can wear whatever you like if your chinos and top are both in anyway reserved, otherwise if it's work brown or black shoes are fine, plain white or black or brown trainers are fine. If you are an absolute beast you can wear something obnoxious on your feet since your chinos and just plain shirt or plain hoodie aren't getting in the mix.
Oh if you have to get smarter than normal for something just get a nice white shirt from somewhere and a dark blue jacket/blazer and some brown shoes and you will be looking fresh my friend.
