Welcome frank! Don't neglect the vintage stuff. Some fun learning to do on that side as well!

Fun learning, but if it's your first mechanical, probably will be your last. Vintage are great for occasional wear, but will not do well daily.
Go modern (2000-new) for easiest ownership. And don't forget to budget a complete overhaul for any piece you buy used or grey market just to be sure.

If properly serviced and looked after, a vintage watch can be worn daily with no problems. I do it almost every day as do many others here...
Yep, it's the looking after part that's the problem. Someone new to watches won't know if their crown is difficult to turn or if their lume is at the point where it's going to start cracking, etc.
To be clear I have a vintage speedy, it just makes me nervous to wear because as soon as the tritium goes it's going to lose a lot of value.
