Advice for finding the right watch

So I have looked around a lot and have decided to try and find a nice vintage 6422. I was wondering if anyone could give advice on how common they really are and tips to going about finding one. Thanks :)

The 6422 has a cal 1210 movement. The 1210 was introduced in/around 1954 and is a fine machine. Because of its age, the 6422s are getting more uncommon but far from rare. You can find one, but it will be a hunt to find a good one. I'd say a top-notch 6422 would trade for $1400 or so. A middle of the road example might fetch $1200. Of course you can find one cheaper still without a bracelet.
