Hello all, I am very new to watches and I want to get my girlfriend a vintage looking watch for our 1 year anniversary since she talked about it to me. She likes brown leather bands and rectangle faces. She wears silver jewelry and the budget is in between 150 to 400 dollars. I looked around and apparently Seiko makes some good quality/price watches? What should I do?
Seiko Lukia or Citizen Exceed lines, try looking for the tonneau case models.
Seiko SWR083P1 is a great option! Purchase a brown leather band for it and you’re good to go. 😊
I put mine on black leather:
Seiko tank, SWR053P1. The original strap isn’t the best. So I’d replace that right away. Keep in mind a decent strap will cost half the price of the watch, without going exotic.
Citizen EW5591-51L.
Seiko or Casio tank; Tissot also makes a nice tank (Heritage). I prefer the Tissot over the others but it’s all up to personal preference.
If you look up “Vintage Omega Seamaster” on eBay you’ll find loads in your price range, vintage Seamasters are dirt cheap. Look for one 34-36mm and I think you’ll be set, AND it says Omega so you get hype points.
