I would keep an open mind. Keep checking watch sales in jewellery stores, and keep checking eBay listings. There will be loads of options meeting your requirements without spending too much. If you don't necessarily want swiss made, you will see even more for well under your price target.

So Miyotas are out of the question. No to divers or rotating bezels or fixed bezels with numbers in the bezel.

How about the Mulhe Glashutte 29er 36mm
Case size: 36.6
Stainless steel case and bracelet
Sapphire Crystal.
Swiss Movement (modified SW-200).
No rotating bezels.
Sports watch.

There are actually a lot of options, you just have other requirements that I think you should indicate in your initial post otherwise people will keep on suggesting divers or microbrands with Miyota movements.
I got it now, you are right.

Another thought. If you haven't found anything that meets your criteria, have a serious think about your criteria. Screw down crowns are a real PITA on many watches, for example. They are a recent phenomenon. Watches from the 50s and later with push pull crowns and no large WR are still widely available.

Hand winding watches seem to have a far smoother wind than many automatic watches, to the point that I wonder whether hand winding automatic watches causes damage. Then you get some movements that don't handwind, so you have to shake them to get them running. So how does that work. Shaking a watch doesn't sound good, and running watches at a low power level sounds to me like they wouldn't be so accurate.

Believe me, Ive done my work: ive been doing it for a week now, and just finished right now at 2:47am. My conclusion is unexpected maybe: Seiko.
Well, good luck with a watch from a manufacturer whose quality management is based on the random principle.


PS: It's a pity that you don't answer my question about the screw-down crown…

To find a sport/everyday watch having:
-Automatic Movt.
-Stainless Steel case and bracelet.
-Between 34 and 38 mm.
-Sapphire Crystal.
-Screw down crown.
-No microbrands using Miyotas.
-Not easily beaten by Seiko.
-Not emulating Rolex or AP.
-Under 2K.

Thanks to a lot of work, and your help, Ive got my answer: Seiko Prospect Land. It is hard to say but it is nearly imposible to beat unless you pay such an amount that will make you look ridiculous. You go all the way up to Rolex or make your peace down there with a Prospex or Presage.
Too easy mate!

Except the screwdown crown I think. And an ETA movement. 36 millimeters, wow. That's tiny. how cute!

Thankyou!

Which particular model of Seiko? Am actually not surprised that Seiko would be part of your list. They produce a lot of watches from all price points and different case sizes and types. And they do make good dial designs.

Lug-to-lug is 45.5 mm, so it wears like a dream.
I believe you. Not for me, though, but that's not the point, haha! I think the OP will like the Sinn a lot. Any of those Germans posted are a great watch to be honest.
