This is me. I’d probably just end up with a dozen blue dial chronographs. Of the 9 watches I own, 4 are circulated regularly, 3 are almost purely sentimental and only get worn occasionally - 1 needs a service and 1 I shouldn’t have bought.

There are definitely a couple more that I want, but they’re not super pricey so I’ll just wait and get them when there’s a reason to celebrate.

As it is, I have a blue dial dress watch, blue dial chronograph, and a blue dial sports beater so I don’t really need anything else.

Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80. Or any Hamilton with an H10 movement. Should be able to find either for around 500 USD.

Dan Henry uses a Seiko VK meca-quartz right? Seems like it should be just fine.

Citizen has plenty of Eco-Drive chronos at that price range too.

[Fossil] Just found one of my first watches from around 2010ish. in c/watches@style.land

Isn’t this one of those “hybrid” auto/quartz models? Small seconds driven by the automatic, minutes and hours are driven by an independent quartz movement. All you should need is a new battery. Just take it to any watch/jewelry shop, good as new.
