Although the Black bay is lovely, the Squales at a third of the price perhaps might be my option.

    I’ve no experience of Tudor but they are generally well reviewed. I have a Squale I picked up for £475 and I’ve been very pleased with it.



    If you don’t want to spend quite as much San Martin (Ali Express) do a really nice retro diver.



    At 42mm probably too large for you but Certina make nice watches with an impressive 80 hour power reserve.

    Certina, that's another name I've been noticing in these watch reviews, one of the many not so well known Swiss brands, I mean if the movements are as trust worthy as the likes of Omega and Rolex, and they certainly look as good, then might as well save yourself a few thousand bucks. Squale have got a massive catalogue too, reissuing a lot of their old stuff from the 50s-70s, which makes the likes of me very happy! I love that era for watches, but the accuracy of these old time pieces puts me off. Though i do lust after an old Rolex or Tudor date watch oyster watch, with the magified date window.
