Hello to every body.

I am a new comer to this forum. I hope I am welcomed.

I want to buy an old watch which is not so expensive. What brand do you think I should buy?

Please help me.

Agreed...need a few points of reference...

are you looking for, say, the best Rolex you can get under $3K? What is your price range?

Sports watch (e.g. stainless steel bracelet) or dressy watch (e.g. on a leather band)?

Does "old" mean used, e.g. 10 years old, or vintage, e.g. 1940s, 1950s, etc.

Any special features you want, e.g. a date, chronograph function, etc? Do you care if it runs on a battery, is self-winding mechanical (e.g. automatic watch), or a mechanical watch (you need to wind it)?

Is it for daily use, or special occasions?

I have several vintage Seiko (from 1965-1980), all automatic, all big dia (40-42mm), and all still working perfectly.
