Sub $500 i'd say find a good Seiko or Citizen. Hard to beat those in that range IMO.

Check Jomashop for good prices. Hamilton, higher end Seiko’s, Tissot would be your best bet in the $400-$600 range. You can get some nice microbrands like Christopher Ward/Farer if you double that budget to around 1k.

That is the look I like and what I am shooting for. Looks fairly thin....

Steinhart.

For about $500 you can get a very nice homage Rolex design that has a Swiss movement.

I’ve been very happy with mine.

I wore my Ocean 1 out. it was a great sub replica and had no problem beating it up. It kept great time. I'm now wearing an Orient until I can save for my Rolex.

I think you should order a Laco. 42 or 39mm depending on your wrist size:

Cases and dials are very cool in that price range. Here’s one example:

I've found a nice, slightly used, Luminox Atacama about 8 years ago on eBay for $450. Tritium hands and waterproof 2-400meters. No issues with it and classy looking with a different band.

I keep a Rolex on my wrist in case I'm ever in a foreign country and I get kidnapped I'll have some bargaining position.

Seiko prospex sea turtle special edition. It’s filthy right now but it’s one of my favorite beat around watches because it was only $800 for the kit with stainless band if you want to dress it up and the rubber strap. They had blue, green, and a cola color when I got mine.

Orient has in house movements. Their Mako line in it's many variations is hard to beat.

Check out Sheffield Allsport. Really nice looking automatic divers for under $200, IIRC.

I have this same one its a really great watch. Citizen is not expensive but I really have not had a complaint about any of the watches I have had from them.
