In order to get specific answers, u should narrow down your requiremens. Nowadays all watches in stainless steel / rubber strap can be replaced with, and u mentioned divers or... Also if u can decide on price range more narrowly, RM11/12/13/14/15k that be better la, Rainbow.

He can actually get nice Divers for less than 10k. Breathing Super Ocean or older models, Logines Legend Diver (there is one with date in Setia Alam Mall), he can even get an IWC Mark
XVI with ss bracelet, that's below 15k, BR 02 1000m divers below 15k, Fortis, Glycine, Sinn, Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra co axial, Tag, or buy a used Sub by saving a bit more.

Rainbow,

Questions like this will only make your choices more difficult.
Shop around, try the watches on. See which one you like.
There is no right or wrong choice... ultimately, you'll be the one wearing, so wear what you're happy with.
Most members here have their own direction on watch collecting.
What I like does not necessarily be what you like.
As for my opinion, based on your budget, I would say you have plenty of choices.
No hurry... shop around...
You might see yourself throwing the budget limit out the window when you meet the piece that you know you wanna take home no matter what.  ;D

If u wanted to flip the watch here and there, this is the one to go for

-Rolex Submariner (no date)
-Pam 000,111,112,005
-Rolex Explorer I or II

If u wanna buy the watch and not intend to flip (beings  keeper instead) :

-Anything that came into your mind

There is no starter watch, its all about the watch and you. If u like it why not go for it.  :Cheers:
