It is extremely not real and worth nothing except for sentimental value because it belonged to your grandfather.

If you don’t care about having a well known brand name, Escape Wheel Watch reviews the watches made by all these little companies in China. Mostly homages, but also some original stuff. Great bang for your buck.
It’s better at being a watch then a “proper mechanical”, but then so is a much cheaper g shock or an F-91w for that matter. It’s all just jewelry at that point, the value is in what is aesthetically pleasing to you or whatever image you are trying to project.
If you don’t care about the name on the dial, there are some small companies making some pretty watches with the high tick Seiko VH31 movement. Very affordable too. Check out the Addiesdive AD2023 for example.
Price to me, I’ve picked up a number of Swatches and vintage Seiko quartz watches at a thrift store for $3-4. Original MSRP it’s probably a Casio F91W.
Bracelets with fitted end links are watch specific in a lot of ways, there are too many variables to make generic bracelets practical. You just can’t buy a bracelet that wasn’t made for the specific watch and expect it to fit.
If there is an option to buy a watch with a bracelet, you should do that. If there isn’t, you should assume you can’t get a bracelet with fitted endlinks for that watch unless it’s one of the really popular models that gets third party model specific support.
