Show me what you got
Hi fellow watch lovers.
I am looking for my next watch. My max budget is 500 bucks. I would prefer it is automatic. I have been wanting a vintage (or vintage style) watch. I have been loving everything with cathedral hands, old field watches, old leather bands, that sort of stuff. Wrist is about 7 inches and I like a slightly smaller watch.
I am curious what some of your recommendations would be for a guy like me! Show me what you got!

Thank you for the suggestion! I will give them a look!
Dan Henry makes a lot of good vintage-inspired skin divers and chronos.

Thank you, I will be sure to check them out!!
Go to eBay and type in "West End Automatic Watch" into the search.
I have a couple of manual wind ones.

Challange accepted!
In this case you should check the german brands. Most of them not known outside of germany. I also don't know if there are all available in your country. But worth to try.
All of them are under 500. But these are only examples. Check their other models as well. All of them uses Miyota Movements, but are (mostly) made in Germany, so the quality is quite high.
Can't get wrong with Laco.

I would recommend the "premium" line. These are produced on germany.

I don't like their leather straps, but if you like their watches you can change them of course.

i like what I see here! I’ve been wanting a German watch in my collection at some point to, but most of the well known ones are out of my price range. Thanks so much for these suggestions!
