Newbie collector seeks advice...

I'm a newbie and at 67 I'm trying to build a collection of watches $200-800 to leave to the grandkids. Practical mechanical watches they can use. 

I would be grateful for any pointers, suggestions. Also anything I can learn from your experience would be more helpful. Thank you for your time.

Check out Seiko 5. Almost any style of watch for about £250. Want a flieger? SRPH. Field watch? SRPG. Dive style? SRPD. Everyday wear piece? SRPE. Completely in-house and common-as-muck movements so future repairs are easy, and if the movement is a write-off you can just buy a whole new one for about £40. Also, buy a springbar tool. A new strap Completely changes the feel of a watch and is easier on the wallet
