Below is my 2 cents (depreciating actually, more like 1.5 cents now)
If you are looking for an entry level watch, as a watch lover, I would say go for something classic, typical, and to basically give everyone the message that "I have just arrived" , if you get what I mean.
It should be a mechanical (no offence to quartz) , and perhaps Swiss Made. Big rubber strap? I think you managed to narrow it down to a few big names. Oris might be one. I do agree it is an exciting range in Sixy Five. Quite the retro thingy.
You might also take a look at Longines, Tag (well some say Tag is made up of nothing but good Advertising and Marketing) etc. Mido?
