You can also pick-up WWII US Bulova's and Elgins for a couple of hundred dollars. Then you have post-WWII UK Smiths watches which can be expensive. The 1970 chronograph re-edition I have was circa 800GBP, but the originals are twice the price!

Re: Ivy League watch for today...?
We wore what we were comfortable with. I have the small Seiko watch the Singapore Commandos wore in the early 1990s and my son gave me his old G-Shock which appears to be the military watch of choice now.
Were gold wrist watches seen as okay to wear for special occasions inb the 1920s - early 1960s?

^Yes, if you could afford gold watches. There were around, a lot of rose gold ones.

Re: Ivy League watch for today...?
My grandpa had two, my mother found them last week in my gradma's house - one was completely rotten, but would work again after a full on service (needs a restored clock face, too), the other one worked flawlessly - this is the one. The clock maker meant they all need a service after laying around for about 40 years... So it is serviced now. And it gets a dark green leather wristband. Nice.

I agree the Doxa watch is pure boom period, has me longing for an Omega from the early 60s.
