Yeah, it's incredible how based Seiko used to be. Now they shit out special editions, limited editions this and that. Sure they still have some kino like GS, Alpinist, Cocktail Time and a bunch of others. But it still doesn't wipe away how single-handedly BASED Seiko used to be.

Well Credor is a great choice, even under 5k you can score something absolutely incredible looking, if you are down to look for a certain reference you should have an easier time if you are from Japan. Maybe you can even score a Spring Drive Credor if you are lucky/dedicated enough to look for a cheap one. Keep in mind sizes, best case scenario go and try the watches you are interested in.

Grand Seiko also is an option similar to a Credor you can get something that looks incredibly KINO. Top tier dial options, there are simpler dials. For movement options, GS is no slouch either. 9F are quartz, 9S is mechanical and that includes autos and manual wind movements as well. Finally, we get 9R which is Spring Drive. Again, living in Japan makes this shit like 120% easier because no shipping costs. Also, JP only special editions.

Rolex falls well outside your price range. Maybe an Oyster Quartz? But they don't hold value like modern Rolex watches. You can get them for like sub $3000, but I honestly doubt the value. Unless there is an anon that is into vintage Oyster Quartz Rolexes and can help more.

Casio Oceanus can be a great choice, killer dials, based Casio at it's finest.

If you'd like any more suggestions, I'm open to help.
