As the other guy said, you can't go wrong with Japanese brands when it comes to quality at more affordable prices.

But since you mentioned the DateJust, here's a similar model, with a good automatic japanese movement and anti-reflective sapphire, for just $200. If you like the look, it's a great deal:

gotta cop a speedmaster reduced soon they are cheap af rn

Great list, I will throw one more Japanese brand into the mix that I think are doing really dope things that are a bit less known but are getting a lot of praise. It would be Kuoe Kyoto, Royal Smith model.

They also have a lot of other pretty dope models too, not to sound like an ad for them.
