There is simply no functionaility in wearing a long piece of cloth around your neck.
Worse, it could get caught in the paper shredder and kill you.
Or your angry gf/wife can strangle you with it

I love watches.
Unfortunately the budget you mention doesn't come up to the ones I want to recommend:
1) IWC
2) Brietling
3) Tag Heure
For the budget you mention, perhaps you can go for a good Seiko Kinetic Premier. Look for those with unscratchable sapphire glass. The neat thing about Kinetic is that you don't need batteries, it is powered by the swing of your hand. There is a mini dynamo inside. You can leave your Kinetic watch in the drawer for 3 weeks and take it out, it will auto adjust itself to the right time.

Or get a Russian watch like my suggestion. Good conversation starter. Or a WWII replica watch.
Your dad can probably use it to smash the head of a robber in too

I expect Tissot and Longines would be within your price range, and possibly some Oris models.

2. Longines
3. Tissot
4. Tagheur (If I manage to save more)

Yes their half moon designs are fantastic.
Check price for Longines. They are in the same league as Rolex. Could be expensive.Yes Rolex is very Uncle. But its for your dad. Rolex is good for wearing for sales people. But Rolex is also expensive.

There's a brand called Wenger looks like those Swiss Army Watches.... looks really cool I'm very tempted to get that for myself.... and it probably costs half your budget.

Never ever buy automatic watches, especially chronograph, they cost a bomb to service.

Aiyoh, ah dee eh, if uncle can buy the watch, do you think a few hundred bucks every 5-7 years is going to be a concern?

Not by a long shot - we're talking about an 800-1000% difference.

Good taste!
I like the seiko's design~ criteria, kinetic and spring drive.
The spring drive one is really awesome, cost $3500 per piece, really out of my budget. But it's still in my wish list.

Depends on the range. Some Longines are cheaper. But the better ones are worth as much as a Rolex.
Master Chrono Moonphase Rose Gold Watch - $USD9,425.
Men's Rolex 18kt Gold PRESIDENT Pearl - USD9,480
And then there are way out of reach Rolex watches
MASTERPIECE Rolex Platinum PAVE Diamond PEARLMASTER - $USD34,980

Nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definition of Spring drive:-
The idea behind the Spring Drive movement is simple. Meld the benefits of an automatic watch with the benefits of a quartz watch. The result is an intricate mechanical movement that is as accurate as a quartz. A perfect blend indeed. The precursor to the Spring Drive movement was the Seiko Kinetic movement. This movement used a rotor to charge a battery, and provided a charge reserve indicator that the wearer could activate. While the Kinetic movement was popular, it still suffered from that worst aspect of a quartz movement - the ticking hand.
The Spring Drive solves the "ticking hand dilemma" by allowing for a sweeping seconds hand that is far more desirable.
