Or buy a nice Swiss automatic in the 1-2000 range.

Or a $300 Seagull 1963 (the Chinese bought the rights, the design, and the machines.)

Those look really nice (love the moon phase indicator that some of them have too!), but the "red star" motif on the watch face does put me off.

Do you have any good recommendations for me?

Good starting points for first Swiss mechanical are Tissot, Hamilton, Mido, or Certina. They all belong to the same conglomerate (the Swatch Group).

The "gateway drug" these days seems to be Tissot PRX. Their quartz models are about half the price of their mechanical ones.
