Diver suggestions - £1000 budget

Horses for courses - I bought mine when I saw a new one was coming with lots of smaller numbers

I did the opposite, sold my old for new :)

Halios Tropik SS is worth considering.

I already know which pilot watch I want,; Stowa, no logo, no date. Hopefully with the COSC movement but I suspect those are going to be pretty hard to come by.

I've been thinking about the Stowa Flieger too. One one hand, I love the idea of the Damasko hardened cases and the fact that they have better water resistance. On the other hand I am thinking that if I wanted a Flieger type watch, the Stowa is so nice (and cheaper) that I would probably choose that over the Damasko. Still, the Damaskos are amazing for everyday watches.

Good luck with your search for a diver. I myself have the Marcello C Nettuno 3 that I suggested earlier in the thread and am very happy with it. I have compared it with a friend's Steinhart diver and the Marcello is nicer. Better size, feels more refined, no cyclops...

This could fit the bill...

Love the Sinn! I'd go for that...

SEIKO Prospex 200M Titanium Diver Automatic SBDC007 [Shogun] wears smaller then the stated 44mm on Seiya's website .

Just seen one on S.C

This is what I would have suggested. A lot of watch at that price.

I'm just wondering, would anyone's suggestions change if the budget was increased to £1500 or £2000 (since still not enough for a Rolex)?

With that much you should be able to get a Planet Ocean 2500.

My favourite dive watch is the Marathon GSAR. It's ISO 5425 certified and has tritium lume.

Halios Tropik SS is worth considering.

That is a great suggestion but could the definitive answer to this question be this?

This Doxa Sub1200t is on the Sale's Corner for £925 - IMHO an iconic diver that is within your budget http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...T-Professional
