Hi bro. Thanks for reply. Well monster version looks evil to me.. Haha. Is it possible to have Sumo with this budget? Or should I save more? I really like the submariner but too poor for Rolex.

I think Sumo just had a small price increase. Good luck on the hunt!

Be prepared to double ur budget for sumo. Sumo is not available locally. Are you prepare to buy from an overseas dealer?

Actually you can buy Sumo diver in KL for close to USD 800-900 but not entire range is available as the dealer brings in unofficially.

Look also Citizen NY2300. Orient Mako II also looks like a sub. Well below your budget

imo, the nicest looking sub lookalike under rm1000 that you can buy in shops right now goes to the Orient Ray.
but with its sportier bezel, it actually leans more towards the new omega seamaster pro.

i never understood why the skx007 is considered as a sub lookalike, sure from the front there is a slight semblance, but from the side it looks pretty tool-ish.

The Samurais from the previous decade. If I recall, there are two Seiko models which are referred to (perhaps loosely) as "Samurai". The SBDA00X (Prospex Titanium, maybe JDM only) and the SNM011 (stainless steel). The Titanium model is fitted with the 21J Cal.7S25. The Stainless steel model comes with the 23J Cal.7S35.
