Vintage Tudor oyster?

You could buy my Lincoln for £150 ono. It was serviced a few months ago and keeps time within 5-10 seconds daily if I remember correctly. Had a new Sternkreuz armoured crystal put on at the time as well. I wore it non-stop for months. It’s a gold plated EPSA Compressor case, so as water-resistant as you can hope for. Roughly 34mm

FWIW I love my 36mm Everest, which has the same case as the Expedition - it's unobtrusive and doesn't sit at all high on the wrist.

Have you considered a Timefactors PRS29?

Any recommendations for 34mm/36mm watches under £500? Looking for something to wear everyday, ideally something with a uncomplicated face, preferably hand wound or mechanical, a simple date window would be a plus.
As a reference, currently looking at new Smiths Everest Expedition (worried it might sit too high) and wishing my Dieter Rams Braun hadn’t stop working. I wear a small black Max Bill for shirt and tie days, a I can’t really justify £££ for an Omega Admiralty. I have been considering a vintage Seiko LM 5740 but worried it might turn into a very expensive project.
Please excuse the long rant, just wanted to get ideas, just in case I am missing on some awesome small practical watches that I don’t know about 🤔
