$300 Rep vs $300 Gen from a lesser known brand, which to get?

The difficult question is keeping me from getting anything at all. I'm looking at two watches right now. Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 42mm 5th Gen with black dial/orange letters SS bracelet Asian Clone 2824 and Tag Aquaracer 500m black dial Asian Clone 2824

Now after reading about the problems of the Omega clasp breaking and trouble finding replacement parts, I'm considering the Tag, but I don't like the fact that the Tag has no AR and that it looks too "sporty" for my tastes.

So option 3, I was considering just getting an auto watch from any other brand (Timex, Seiko, Citizen, etc) but here are some of the things which I would really like on it.

1.) Sapphire glass with AR (because it makes the dial "pop" and look expensive)

2.) Deployant/Scissor style clasp (I hate the flimsy metal clasps found on Fossils and Rolexes)

3.) A HIGH BEAT movement. This is a must, I want the beat rate offered in a ETA 2824 because it's butter smooth, I hate the 21J "stop and go" sweep

4.) A display caseback would be nice but I don't mind if its not there.

5.) Lume would be nice but I might be asking for too much.

Would anyone have recommendations? I have a small wrist (6 inches) so please recommend accordingly.

Also note to mods: I accidentally posted this topic in the wrong forum before sorry about that :(
