Really would like to get my old man one, budget isn't really more than £100 so I guess I'm asking the impossible. However any recommendations would be appreciated.....

Look for Seagull or Parnis (which have Seagull movements) on ebay.

This more than your budget but a hell of a lot of quality for the money...

I'm going to pick up a couple of Seagull M199S in Shanghai week after next, if the prices aren't stupid compared to on-line. One for me, one for my lad.

Sekonda do one (model 3503) in a pretty traditional style, they're around on the net at about the £60 mark. Miyota movement, 2 year guarantee, and decent casing quality for the price.

The tachymeter inner bezel on a non-chrono is a bit, err, tacky, but it's genuine moonphase, not too modern, and well within budget wink
