The Seiko 5 will be better in quality and movement durability than a 350 dollar rep. I own both sample(s) of each.
Oh please. Many reps use 2824 and 9015 movements. They are more than reliable and super easy to service.

You haven't been around Seiko's much I can see. Their quality is miles ahead of reps. tripdog is right, basic 7S26 can last well more than 10 yrs without service. Seiko has the best bang for your buck watch at their price point, hands down.
Reps are all about what it looks like....once you get past the obvious, reps really are second rate to any gen watchmaker.
I have 4 Seikos, actually. I love them! But try to compare the finishing of a VSF seamaster SMP with a entry level Seiko.
Unless it’s 1k+ models we’re talking about. But a Seiko 5? Nah man. Look at it closer.
Btw I do agree the 7s26 is a workhorse and can last for more than 10 years without needing a service.

I want some of what you’re smoking.
Lol . Seikos are miles ahead .
Ive got a 500$ Prospex Ninja Black Turtle and it looks and feels light years ahead of any 500 even 600 $ rep
Mirroring what many have already said; Seikos are arguably unbeatable in terms of bang for buck in whatever price range they are in.
My $3500 Grand Seiko was hand assembled in a clean room, under a microscope, to ensure perfection. I’ve seen Rollie’s at an AD under a loupe with a spec or 2 of dust or fiber on the dial.
That being said, we’re all on RWI for a reason; you won’t find much argument against reps here!

Couldn’t agree more.
Check my 16622: the lume at 1 o’ clock is dirty. And that’s a over 6k watch.

An IWC Portuguese 7 days ZF latest version can be compared with a Seiko Presage gen?
I'm talking about finishes, quality of materials, etc. no of movements
