Suggestions for watch around €1000
I want to buy my first "expensive watch". The only category excluded is dressy. Vintage looking chrono is preferable category.

Automatic or (Meca)Quartz? At that price point an auto chrono will not be easy. If you can stretch around 500 more the Tissot PRX enters the arena. For anything else under 1000€ you've got the Seagull mvt based chronos, but I wouldn't spend 1000 on these (I own a 1963 btw). If Quartz is ok with you, then there are tons around: Seiko, Yema, Brew, etc.
If you're flexible, check out the Christopher Ward website, ton of value there for the specs, with very good bracelets too. GMT and COSC options on many of their model lines.
Yeah, this is a tough price for a chrono. As stated above, I think your best bet is a <$500 mechaquartz or the PRX at $1500. For less than $500, I like this from Yema…
I prefer quartz to be honest. What's the problem with quartz? I pay 20 euros for battery change and water proof seal..

I'm European and Brew is hard to get here. I love them by the way...
It doesn't need to be chrono 100% for sure...

Well it's done. Hamilton Khaki scuba dive, the new improved version in blue. Bough it for around 900. I will update when received..
