This is Part 2 of my series, Best Mechanical Watches Under a Certain Price Point. You can check my list of watches under €500 in Part 1 here. When it comes to mechanical watches, there is a very wide price range to consider, from as low as 200€ to five or six-digit prices. Some men are only interested in vintage watches, while others completely avoid them. I believe that to buy a quality vintage watch, you need to educate yourself about the brands and models you're interested in, and this requires a lot of research. In other words, you'll need to spend a considerable amount of time learning what you're dealing with. I think most people don’t have enough knowledge and experience to truly deal with vintage or used watches, which is why, in this series, I will focus on brand-new watches only—those that are readily available, with no limited editions or waitlists, just watches that anyone can buy.
