Well I wrote it in your other thread but please allow me to suggest a Bulova or a Seiko again, I find them to be quite good for their prices and you can have a great selection for 400$ and less.

Tissot is also worth a look. There are Tissot automatics in your price range if you buy gray market.

You could get a vintage Omega or other vintage brand.

I would suggest looking at Seiko as well, unless you are set on getting a mechanical watch.

Ditto on a Hamilton, a wide array of mechanical models and superb value for the price point.

Personally I would go down the vintage Omega route, will look cool and you are getting a prestige quality watch for your money that will only go up in value as well |
