Per title. I don't want automatic or mechanical, just something nice I can wear occasionally. I've bought a couple of very cheap 1980s Swatches off ebay but they suffer water ingress. Ideally I'll get a leather strapped watch or pay the right price for a mint classic Swatch. I had a very nice Titan that I bought in India but it got stolen, and I can't find a good replacement on ebay or online.

I'd pay more than £100 for a nice quartz watch, but it seems that expensive watches are generally mechanical or automatic. I've got an auto and it gains about 5 seconds a day. I'm not interested in paying strong money again for something that isn't accurate.

Thanks. Maybe £100 is a bit low. I'd go up to £500 for the right watch. It seems like quartz top out around there.

The Sinn would be perfect if it had a quartz mechanism:

My wife has a gold plated Raymond Weil, and although it looks great, the gold plating is wearing off after a couple of years use. I think Seiko is the answer, or the Swatch. I've had a few of both and they are cracking watches.
