Im looking for another watch that is similar to the rolex daydate but cheaper:

I have found one like this the tag heuer link:

But it still cost a fair bit, anyone else has found anything that is similar? Im mainly interested in the full display of day of the week.

Another one from Orient although very cheap ($100) im not sure about its movement or reliability

Seiko has some watches which have a Day and Date.
I would pass on the orient.
Day and Date is just an added complication, and added thing to
mess up and Id rather have it from a company I know I can easily
get to do service on my watch.
Seiko, Tag (as much as I dislike them) and other mainstream companies
will be your best bet....
I can always remember what day of the week it is, so if trying to keep costs
down Id much rather get just a Date and something a bit nicer. Going with
just a date will open quite a few more options.

I think you really need to give us an idea as to what budget you are looking at

If you are willing to go vintage, lots of manufacturers have made great looking Day/Dates over the years.

Less than 1000, i just like to have the full day of the week view. I know i have more choices with just date. Which seiko has a full view of day? I just want one with the full day view since i got a few of others with just date/3 letter day view.

Some Raymond Weil watches are like the Day-Date. I don't know what they are though... Sorry!

There is one Tissot model, I think it`s part of their T-classic line, I saw it in person and it looks awesome! But, I couldn`t find it`s pic on internet!

funny, cause tag just got caught with their pants down trying to pass off a seiko movement as their own in-house creation.

Hamilton's Khaki line has a number of full day/date watches.

Including diver's.

The Khaki King II and Kahki King Scuba come to mind.
