You are obviously doing some research and have a budget in mind. I would respectfully suggest that (for a gentleman) anything below about 40mm is too small. Also, as pocket watches tend to get rubbed against fabric more often as they are generally kept in a pocket (well, d'uh
) the lower end plated offerings will show wear marks fairly soon, so perhaps a steel model might be best. Nothing wrong with quartz as a daily wearer, though most here would prefer mechanical. As has been said, buying vintage can be a minefield, so new might be best. Not sure if this one is wildly outside your budget
