take your time!
when I started i rushed it a little. this leads to trading watches you thought you liked for the ones you later realize you REALLY want. Its a really fun hobby and there are a lot of watches with interesting histories. i will give some humble suggestions based on the watches that have found their way into my heart.
vintage rolex datejust - simple, classic, affordable
321 omega speedmaster - the watch worn on the first moon mission
A. lange and sohne 1815 (older model manual wind) simple classic, beautiful but kind of pricey
jaeger leCoultre - reversos
vintage omega seamasters- very simple very affordalbe
all of these are personal favorites , but to each his/her own, and the rule of thumb here is "get the watch that speaks to you".
whatever you decide on, wear it in the best of health

Think about it this way. If you want quality, the watch should be made entirely by one company, not have the parts manufactured in one part of the world, then assembled somewhere else, and this same company should be a watch company, ONLY! I am sure Rolex...
