There's so much high-quality stuff out there for a fraction of the price of the vintage mechanical stuff. I mainly look for watches with the Seiko Meca-quartz movement (the sweep second hand is smooth like a mechanical). Set it and forget it! Here's a few of them ...



Yeah, there's something to be said for a quality quartz watch that keeps essentially perfect time for many years. I'd like another Airman, one of the models where the entire face is SL. I think Invicta bought Glycine. It looks like they have watered them down a bit. If I ever buy another it'll have to be something older. I'm unlikely to spend the money to buy an older one.
