What brand when wear go out people will say "waaa! Expensive watch" and is automatic and 1k budget..

The waaa is referring to normal people.. Not people who are wearing Rolex, omega, Patek etc..

Tissot. Seiko Premier. Citizen Eco-Drive. Orient Bambino. Arbutus NY. If lucky enough, throw in basic Raymond Weill for good measures.

Dress Watch Prefer those elegance looking. I'm looking in Frederique Constant now, they got some very nice looking automatic watch with in house movement, around SGD 1.5k after discount

ecodrive is not automatic. i think..

well... if we see automatic as mechanical, no battery... then yeah... eco-drive doesn't classify as automatic

but since its doesn't really need to "wind", doesn't need to replace battery, generate the energy through light / hand movements so... to me.. its automatic

Anyone knows where is the service centre for tudor, and breitling, and whether how much do they charge for a typical authenticity verification. Would like to check if the normal verification also includes a check in the movement, and will they advise the watch piece requires minimal servicing, or an overhaul.

Thanks

Time has come for me to make a decision on my daily beater diver with rubber. Been looking around for more than a month. Wife is gonna kill me if I still wait and wait. Your opinion?

1) Hydrocarbon Ceramic XV [middle] (Low to mid $3K)/ Airborne

(High $3K)

2) Tudor Pelagos (High $4K to low $5K?)

I like tudor. The overall look is cleaner and simpler.

Thanks for the advice.. looking to get my first automatic watch.. Budget is only 1k.. Anything good to recommend..? looking for classic looking watch like the tissot luxury automatic and tissot visodate etc..

the default choice for classic/heritage looking watches comfortably under $1k is the tissot heritage visodate.

or you can consider the hamilton intramatic 38mm. slightly more than $1k.
