Seriously though, it's called "mechanical" watches. And watches that runs on battery uses Quartz movement.
Your questions about the Tissot, Tag Heuer and Longines. In my opinion Tissot is the lower tier out of all three. Tag however has wide range of models ranging from Tissot price bracket to Longines. There are few Tag models (Aquaracer 500m and Carrera) that I would like to try in the future.
As Redlines mentioned earlier, there is a pretty noticeable difference in the finish of $1k+ Tag models compared to the Tissots.
As for Longines I only like the Hydroconquest model as the other ones are all too elegant for my taste.
Finally the mm sizes are usually measurement of the watch case excluding the crown. Depending on your wrist size but I find anything over 46mm is ridicules and the sweet spot for me is 42-44mm.

Many brands make both mechanical and quartz watches. Quartz are actually much more accurate and reliable than even the most expensive mechanical on the planet, but there is nothing interesting about the movement. If you just want a watch to tell time, then there is no shame in going quartz.

where do you guys go to service your watches? I have a seiko 7002 that I want to get serviced, it runs but the power reserve is only a few hours after I take off the watch. It even dies when its on the winder. Also I want to get the dial relumed. anyone local does this?

Your question is ridiculous, it's like going on a car forum and posting a one line question: How much do cars cost?
Breitlings range from about $3k to $400k. Tissot starts at about $300 and goes up from there. Virtually every manufacturer offers mechanical and automatic.
You need to narrow stuff down a ton more.

"And, the top spot goes to the Grande Complication model. It is not the typical wrist-watch as it is a pocket watch with an eye-popping price of $280,700, thus the name: Grande."
So $280,700 USD plus exchange rate and taxes, you are looking at about $345k CDN. My bad, I should have said $350k haha.
Thanks for coming out.
Mark

Haha for what it's worth, I totally just guessed at $400k and karma just threw me a bone. It just doesn't really matter what kind of watch it is, at those prices you are basically just paying for the value in the diamonds, etc. so the sky is really the limit...
