    Which Tag and Breitling models do you like ? There are certainly lots of different styles of used Tag models you'll get for your budget. Do you want quartz or automatic?

    What size watch do you like? The Breitlings in your price range tend to top out at about 42m wide (big enough for most people).

    You could get a very nice Omega Seamaster Pro (the Bond watch), but it'd probably be older than the other two brands.

    If you don't mind getting something that's a little more obscure but excellent quality, Stowa do lovely watches like the marine chronograph.

    Breitling SuperOcean. Omega Seamaster Chrono. Omega Seamaster. Omega Planet Ocean (I'd be changing the strap fairly sharpish though). Tag Carrera. Tag Monaco

    I think the Tudor Black Bay is a lovely watch - Tudor are part of the Rolex group.

    If you narrow down the style (not just the brand name) you like, you'll get lots of ideas.

    This does not really instill conference. As you will read everywhere, when buying used watches, buy the buyer. Chrono24 is not any safer than ebay, it's just a site for advertising watches, and anecdotally the owners of the site are of no help in sorting out disputes. Trusted seller status appears not very difficult to achieve.
    I'd do a bit of research into the actual seller, rather than trusting them because they are on chrono24.
