These watches go from less than ten dollars to over 150 on eBay
depending on age, condition, and running status. I've gotten several
that were "broken" because they do not hand wind (again, depending on
model) and have to be shaken to get them going.
They are very robust watches, most of them will keep to a minute a
month or so without regular maintenance and unless seriously abused
can be easily repaired.
I have several from the 60's and 70's that run quite nicely without
having been cleaned and oiled yet.
Seiko still makes reasonably priced mechanical watches, by the way.
Not as accurate as a quartz movement, but you won't be passing on a
quartz movement to your grandkids.
