+1 for vintage Tissot

Ditto.

You should be able to get a Lemania powered Tissot within your budget.

Thanks. So I would prefer vintage, but would consider something new that had "vintage" qualities. My dream watch is a chronograph with Arabic numerals and a leather band. My budget is about 900-1200 USD.

You don't have to spend that much... nice deal on a hamilton chrono that meets your "dream watch" standards. plus its only $648:

I'm a fan of B&R because it's just so different. When I went into an AD, the military ceramic sung to me and I bought it on the spot...haven't regretted it at all.

Buy what you like!

I have to second the CWs for bang for the buck on a lower-end automatic. The C9 Harrison is reasonable for an auto chrono with display back, especially if you like blue dials and 2-registers. The strap is a bit garish, but it can be swapped out easily.

You could probably find a nice second-hand one cheaper on the Bay
