Another great great carry watch that will not break the bank is the latter day Elgin's. Here is my Elgin 616 US made circa 1950. I bought this watch for 50 bucks and never yet had it serviced since it keeps perfect time. These watches are everywhere, this one is 17 Jeweled and they are beautiful carry watches that won't break the bank

616 Elgin

In the late 50's they started to import their movements from Switzerland those do not have the DP on the face. Yet they are a fine carry watch and you can get them for under 50 bucks ... great watch for carrying around and keeping good time
