A chronometer should have certified accuracy.
If buying second hand look for reviews / feedback about the seller to establish if they're 'trusted'.
Nice Omega but I'd expect box and papers and I don't know how big your wrist is but the De Ville is quite a small watch at 37mm.
As far as makes are concerned you really get what you pay for, look on youtube at some of the watch channels - for affordable watches in particular check out 'Just one more watch' for a bit of inspiration. Avoid fashion brands like Armani, Michael Korrs etc.
A lot of people frown at Invictas but for £70 odd quid you can get a decent diver's watch with a Seiko movement.
If 37mm is "quite a small watch", then what does that make my Rolex at 34.5mm?
