Despite having too many dive watches, I feel like I need another one. One that may or may not exist. I'm looking for something like my CWC "1983" quartz except not another CWC and not quartz. So automatic or maybe a vintage tuning fork. Things I want:
- Polished case. Possibly titanium like the Seiko Snowflake, but not sure if anyone other than GS does these. Definitely not matte Ti.
- Lightweight, reasonably slim and comfortable on the wrist.
- Around 39-42mm: not too big, not too small.
- Very clean & readable design.
- High standard of fit & finish.
- External bezel (rules out the LLD).
- No cyclops!
The closest thing I've found so far is this Glycine Combat Sub with Airman dial, but I don't think the level of quality is what I'm looking for. I want something a step up from the CWC, closer to MM300 levels of finish.
I would consider saving up a bit longer for a lightly used one of these, were it not for the fact that it's apparently quite chunky. Also it has odd-sized lugs, which is annoying (although not an absolute deal-breaker).
