I rather like Doxa,which is in US/Europe primarily a brand very closely associated with diving. The sub model available here however is different from the US , and is a made for Asia model. They are available at quite a few shops nowadays.

wow, there are still brands which i have overlooked. thanks guys. just want to ask your opinion. which among these two would you prefer? the rolex 16610 submariner date or 16600 seadweller. liked both but cannot afford to pull the trigger on both. can only buy one or the other but i liked it both equally. which would you choose in my position?

16600 seadweller for me. not as common as 16610 and not a fan of cyclops.

You can get the submariner and ask RSC to remove the cyclops from it lar. It may sound wired but somehow it end up looking like SD from afar.  :thumbsup:

If you want to be different and hate the Cyclop, Then go with the SD

But do take note that the SD wears very differently. The case back is thicker than the 16610 and he dial is actually slightly smaller. So it's wears noticibly smaller and higher.

Having said that I prefer the look of 14060 and SD but if it's on the wrist, the 14060 and 16610 wears better IMHO

hahaha..its not a typo. its just that i had an epiphany. no point to keep on buying *pardon my punt* lower end watches.might as well buy a rolex since i never had one.spend more but hopefully this would stop the constant craving for a watch. although if it does not help, this would be really bad for me.  :Laughing_on_floor:
