There are a few quartz worth owning- my daily beater is a Timex Q Reissue and I dig the Huckberry cola colorway as well. Plenty of visual depth and I prefer a smaller daily because they don't dig into my wrists when driving or doing superficial wrenching.
Cheap way into a good watch is a Chinese case, dial and hands, a genuine ETA 2824 or 2836 or Miyota 8215 or Seagull ST1812 depending on what you like, and a bracelet or band of your choosing. You could also go with a 6497 or a Seagull ST-36 manual movement.
You don't need much by way of tools to put a watch together and there are plenty of DIY writeups and videos online.
I had a Seventies Vostok Amphibia in a semi-rare colorway and I dug that stupid thing. It was like an AK47- roughly made by drunken Russians, but it worked well for its intended purpose.
