 I think in the $250 price range, you should not be looking for prestige but rather the type of watch you want and the style.  There are many well made watches in the $250 range but none of them really compare to the prestige brands.  Keep in mind Seiko also makes watches that run into the thousands, easily up to snuff with say, a Rolex.  In my opinion a lot of the prestige brands can get away with charging so much because of their marketing and preceived reputation (in reality their product is nicer, but not say, *ten* times nicer to justify the price). 

It sounds like your preference is for dress watches - in that case, perhaps a Seiko 5 or Orient 3 Star would be appropriate going with those two brands.
