£1000 for a watch - What would you get?

Firstly, I know there are quite a few watch threads going so apologise for another one! 
My 30th is coming up and I really want a nice watch from my parents. They said they'll chip in £1000 towards the cost and I can 'top up' with my own cash.
I tried on a large (middle size) Omega Seamaster at a jewellers today. I absolutely loved it! Was in the window for £1280. I asked for a discount and they said they can do it for £1160 which is a 12.5% discount. Is this discount quite good?
Just thought I'd post on here to get some other ideas.
I don't like very chunky watches at all, so anything apart from those types! Prices with suggestions would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks
Nick

He's not seeking validation, he came on looking for thoughts and suggestions.
Instead, he gets a bunch of c nts accusing him of being attention seeking and vain, one of whom has a username which is attention seeking and vain

He wasn't seeking validation, he was asking opinions on various brands and prices. There are quite a few knowledgable watch people on here so makes sense to see whether he's getting a good deal or not.
When I bought my first watch Yoza's info was invaluable, when I bought my first scooby 10 years ago I got great advice also, lot less numpties on the forum then

I would say 10% is a good discount.
For a birthday present i would get a "classic" watch, something that will look good for many years. My choice is this

A Tag Heuer Carrera with bracelet. Its what i wear most days. A classical design that will never go out of fashion. Nice size, not too big or small.
