dont 'real' automatic watches go like $5K? those apparently are very accurate and use no quartz inside. i think for most folks the seiko kinetic will do better than the orient for sub $1K watches.
Real autos can go for as little as $150. A brand new Seiko 7S26 movement is only like $50. That's what I'm using right now. Regulated I can keep them +/- 10-15 seconds per day which is not bad.

Higher-end watches using Swiss ETA movements usually start around $800 and go on up. An entry-level ETA movement is around $200-250 by itself.

Rolex uses its own in-house movements which are very expensive and accurate. They are known for the continuous sweep of the second hand which I really like.

Lots of the other makers just use Swiss ETA these, however some have their own in-house stuff, like Omega's Co-Axial Escapement.

These are the two that I am considering... maybe as a Christmas present to myself:

OMEGA Watches: Speedmaster Moonwatch Co-Axial Chronograph - Steel on steel - 311.30.44.50.01.002

OFFICIAL ROLEX WEBSITE - Timeless Luxury Watches

Both would be around $7k so I am a little hesitant to spend that much. All I wear right now are $200-300 Seiko automatics.
