    Affordable Diver Watches with the crown located at 4 o'clock

    Can anybody mention some affordable & good looking watches with the winding crown located at the 4 o'clock hour marker, other than Sinn U1/U2/UX?

    Thanks,
    Michael

    Seiko SKX007, take a look at Eddie's Seiko pages, also the Zeno Army Diver (ref 485), also available from Eddie!

    Or, for an unconventional alternative, try the Cititen 200m ProDiver (the base model) with the crown at 8 o'clock ... surprisingly comfortable. :)

    Looking at the newly arrived PRS-18 in the "Precista 93 (PRS-18) arrived - Pics added" thread: http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewtopic...ighlight=prs18 , I was longing for something more along the lines of this modification I've just made of it.

    My (picture) modification of the Precista PRS-18:


    Clean design, very readable.
