I've been looking around for something vintage with a TV dial, ideally with integrated bracelet, a bit like some of the Omega Seamasters. Not too fussed by brand or whether quartz or automatic but have a fairly limited budget, ideally below about £200. I'm finding it quite difficult to know what to search for to find one. I've seen a few Solvil et Titus and once spotted a Bulova model (which I cant now find) but would welcome any suggestions for what I might look for

Old Slava TVs can be picked up pretty cheap although a mint version would be pretty close to the top end of your budget:
There's also the newly reissued Slava TV which is a fair bit bigger but is closer to £500. I still bought one anyway - here it is:
Seiko did loads of TV dial watches, like this one for example:

Many thanks everyone for suggestions, I think the Seiko looks like a potentially good shout. The Slavas are very cool and I love the integrated brackelets but I think I am prefering the case shapes which are portrait style - kind of like the nautilus face if that makes sense. Welcome any other options!
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Good choice! Off the top of my head you could look for a Certina Town + Country, Camy Time Square, Zodiac SST, Roamer Searock, Favre-Leuba Sea Raider, Longines Ultra-Chron or a Zenith Respirator. The last 2 (possibly 3 now) you might need to stretch the budget a bit further.
Happy hunting...
Oops. I hadn't spotted the budget.

Thank you all for suggestions, will investigate further. The Ultrachron is a fantastic watch which I had forgotten about, and would be a great addition to my current everyday wearer, a speedsonic . I suspect over budget for now but will hope I am wrong...
Funnily enough I'm wearing this Lanco today.
Well within budget!
I also have this MOD chrono, that cost only a little more than your budget.
