I love the Christopher Ward C60 Trident. I've had my eyes on one for a while. I've just seen there is a COSC limited edition - and it's pay day.... haha
+1 on the Mkii Kingston. Got one myself, stunning!
Marcello C N3 or Trident, superb!
Miss mine.
I was very happy with my Steiny Ocean One green bezel.
I wish I had hung on to it.

I bought one of these Panis sterile dial subs and love it.

I like that ceramic Davosa , seems like v good quality, would not mind a s/hand one..-Of the others posted I like the blue Seiko the best - but thats 'cos its blue and has a day /date...
Surely nothing wrong with a Parnis Submariner?
Doesn't cost the world, either (140,- euro)
Something from the People's Liberation Army for £80?

Another vote for Marcello C.
Okay. Maybe that's more than one vote. Not as much of an homage as other suggestions, but in terms of value it is really tough to beat.
From a price and resale POV, there is only one - Tudor 76100 or 79090
Err, that's not a homage, but the real thing IMHO...
Nothing comes close to it on quality/value.
Picked this up off the SC- really nice quality peice
I have had a couple of Steinhart Ocean One watches but while they were well made, good looking watches the lug to lug width was too long for my wrist. The watch is 42mm with the same flat lugs as the 40mm Sub.
At 40mm I have a couple of Seapros that use the Miyota movement that are very good value.

Just ordered a new Marcello Trident blue from german dealer .looking forward to its arrival!
I'm not sure why you're being so aggressive, maybe its your time of the month - or something - however the point that i was making is simple.
Good value can manifested itself in many ways, one way is a cheap watch that costs £20, last for about a year of two, and then goes in the bin. The other way to look at good value is that you invest an amount of money in something that will appreciate in value and give you an asset on which value can be re-imbursed.
A Tudor 79090 or 76100 can be had for £1200(ish) if you look around, so you invest £1200 now, and sell it in two years for £1500 (approx). Why is that not good value.
Has anyone mentioned these yet?
It's not at true diver but many of us don't get our watches wet anyway... has the looks, it's smaller than a Steinhart and it's an Orient, so good movement assured.
Well, actually the Tudor is a good exercise in this always difficult to settle question of what an homage is... I also think it's a model on it's own and not an homage but it's something that gained character over time. I think one can accept that it was initially meant as a "poor men's" Sub and Rolex had that goal in mind. If it had round markers and mercedes hands, it would be very, very close to a Sub.
Thanks for all the great comments. I think steinhart's are going to be a tad to big for me so edging towards an O&W anyone got any more info on them. I have found a nice one I'm very interested in.
