Want to build a big five (dress, dive, field, gmt, chrono) for $1500 all in. Have a seiko cocktail time and spinnaker bradner for first two. Sitting at $500 in for now. So, $1000 left for the other three. Ideas?

Notes: I KNOW I can spend more but don't want to out of principle.

I like auto movements.

42mm is about my max (pictured brander)

Not opposed to vintage/grey market but really enjoy buying AD

EDIT: my wife asked me what I want for Father's Day and I told her either timex MK1 or citizen promaster navihawk (silver dial). Big benefit to being new to this space is I can always toss out a <$500 option for a gift.
