You can find nice stuff under $1k. The only thing with older watches is they tend to be smaller. The one in my picture above is about 34mm, as is this one on Crono24 for $632

I edited my response, have a look. If you’re into “vintage” at all, there are some very cool Seiko and Grand Seiko quartz watches out there.

I anticipate second hand being the issue here. Without spending thousands I can’t see being positive how the second hand will line up with the markers.

For instance, I’m wearing this right now

But have no idea if the seconds hand lines up enough to suit somebody else.

Man, I absolutely love this watch. I’ve been looking at them for months. It’s one of those watches that you find yourself going back to look at again and again. One day I’ll pull the trigger, any advice?

commented on Omega '53 ·

Yes.

commented on Missing in action! ·

That’s a sad story. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for it, good luck.

commented on Breitling and Omega ·

Those are two good looking watches. Does the Breitling look smaller in real life? It looks smaller in the pic and I’m digging that.
