I'd wager the Seiko NH35, any modern ETA movement or Miyota 8 and 9 series. Did you get quotes from a watchmaker?

No, haven’t started the process.
Service by Hamilton for a standard automatic is £175 here in UK ($200 or so at exchange) not actually that much compared to many other brands.
What do you think a full service should cost ?
Selita movement in my Sinn 104 is keeping time wonderfully and won’t cost an arm and a leg to service in the future and looks good to boot !
Be glad it wasn’t an Omega or Rolex or such. Talk about OUCH! 😉
