I don't like expensive things, I break everything and treat stuff badly so I hunt out cheap, interesting watches. I am currently wearing a Vostok Komandirskie. It's manual wind, made in Russia using designs/machines from around the cold war. It might be a bit niche for what you are after, but it is cheap (£35 delivered). I wanted a bronze case watch but I'm too tight to buy anything valuable so I bought a brass cased Vostok and polished off the gaudy gold plating they come with. They take a good patina and are fairly bulletproof - parts cost nothing should they go wrong. One of the varieties of Vostok amphibia would function as an affordable automatic.

Something something Russian on a NATO.
Some of the Seiko divers are rather nice. I'm planning on making a Seiko fiftyfive fathoms (a seiko based Blancpain fifty fathoms homage).

Have you ever seen the Poljot Aviator with Alarm? I know it's quite silly to have a mechanical wrist watch with an alarm, but still, cool stuff and not expensive, in comparison with what Swiss ask for the date complication on their watches.
Here's a short video: https://youtu.be/dLkInx37as4?t=32s
Other interesting brands are/were Pobeda and Raketa, the hand painted paper dials, 24h movement etc. are just amusing. There are still a lot of cool PRIM (czech) watches from the 70's, such as SPORT gen I and II, for next to nothing in alright condition. Germans also make/made very nice and affordable timepieces. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
