··Sunburst dial fanI’m not sure what your taste is but these are two I’ve bought on eBay from UK sellers in the last couple of months.
The Tissot was £80 plus postage …
…. the Perona was £85 (including postage).
If you fancy pushing the boat out, you’ll find a nice vintage Eterna, or Hamilton or Longines within your price range

·My daily watch is in for a service and I’m told I won’t see it for over 6 months! The $20 Casio won’t cut it so I need a stand in. For $500 what would you buy, considering it will be in the draw once my daily is back. Thanks
some more info would be appreciated. What is your daily watch? A Speedmaster? A Seamaster? A Rolex GMT Master? Do you want a similar style watch, or something new?
there are thousands of watches out there for under $500, and with that as the only qualifier, you’ll probably see most of them recommended here!

·Thanks, sorry was meaning sub $500 and didn’t mean it as a throw away. Wanted something cheap, but could enjoy wearing as a daily

··Ash @ ΩFI would watch this thread and see what Geneves, Cosmics, and even some DeVilles and Seamasters go for.

·Thanks for the reply. I have a Seamaster 300 which I have worn everyday for 7 years and now it’s having a long awaited service. I also own a Seamaster 1948 (new version) but it’s too special (to me) to wear as a daily. So looking for something reliable but still premium and probable not vintage

It’s not vintage, it’s a 70th anniversary edition of the Seamaster https://www.omegawatches.com/en-au/watches/seamaster/heritage-models/seamaster-1948/product

·You specifically mentioned that you probably don't want vintage, so I'd second the suggestion for a manual wind Hamilton. Something from Glycine is another possibility.

·Sorry, it just dawned on me, why would your watch service take 6 months? I mean, are they building a new watch from scratch, seems excessively long for a watch service, even 2, even 20 watches.

·If you like divers, maybe a Seiko Prospex or Baltic aquascape.
