Charles,
Fast comments: - I'd suggest you think about a theme you might like to collect. Military watches, Seikos, fliegers, etc. - Determine whether you want to focus on mechanical movements or whether you don't care about that. - Try on some watches and make sure you know what size you prefer. I usually wear watches between 38 and 42mm. - Seikos would be a perfectly respectable starting point. As others have mentioned, Seiko 5 might have just about the best cost to quality ratio of any watch anywhere. - Three watches would be a nice starter collection. A dress watch, sleek with black leather band, maybe a diver with steel or rubber, and a sport watch with brown leather or steel or NATO. - Resist knockoffs. You won't respect yourself. - Resist flash. Flash is only fun for about ten minutes. Quality lasts. - Resist impulse buys. - Quality will pay you back because you'll be able to sell the watch when you want something new. - There are quite a few mid-range watches that are affordable, when you're ready to step up from the least expensive. I think Steinhart are really nice. - You might explore the watchuseek website for more ideas and information.
Have fun

pbridge1300Would agree on the 3 piece collection... For a $500 total or under with 6 to 7 inch wrist size...
Diver, Seiko SKX013 Dress, Orient Bambino maybe too big if wrist is under 6.5 inches. Thus a used Timex Marlin (Mad Man style) Every Day Field (Military) style, Casio BM8180 has Evo Drive (Solar) Quartz
Buy what you will wear...
