Rec me a watch before I buy the blue Orient Maestro and replace the bracelet with a leather strap. My first watch and beater seiko 5 that I got for ~$60 just died -- something loose in the automatic function and second hand rarely ticks. Not sure what the options are, but I was looking at bambino, then realized maestro is the better watch. I like the simplicity in design, the color, the open back, and would need to replace with a good leather strap. I'm curious what the other budget alternatives are like this. more details follow:


> Your budget
around $200 USD or less
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Not too dressy but more than a beater. goal: impress a date with a nice looking accessory, but don't need to signal status or anything.
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
automatic
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
aesthetic > all else
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
n/a. I prefer leather but would be ok without the stock strap
> Wrist size or desired watch size
n/a. I like the large bauhaus style that are popular but feel like it'd look poorly on me.
