Does anyone have recommendations for cheapish mechanical watches that don't cost a fortune to service? (UK based) Secondhand or new. | ||

Seiko 5 and Seiko 5 GMTs are great, but Orient is also a worthy contender. | ||

If you get any cheapish mechanical watch with a widely available movement (EG an NH35 or NH36), it makes more sense not to service it, and just replace it when (if) it wears out. That's what I do with my Seikos. | ||
