Depends what he means by "heirloom quality"...if he wants something really old, like civil war era you can get a lot of watch for $500, something like a really nice coin silver case key wind. If he wants something a little more contemporary I would suggest an American RR grade watch...you can get a really nice Hamilton 992B for that much money and maybe less....depending on the case you can also get a Bunn 60 hour for that price.
I would suggest looking on eBay...there are a lot of good, and honest pocket watch sellers, you know the drill there...soos check if they list a NAWCC membership number listed
