Title: Suggestions for diver watch (RM3-7k)
Post by: roystock on July 11, 2013, 10:42:22 PM
Hi everyone,

I am 6 months into watch collection, though painful for wallet, it has been quite fun and addictive  :D
I am looking to add a dive watch into my collection (strictly for desk diving as I have no intention to go for actual dive).

I prefer the watch to be below 42/43mm and the thinner the better.
Any recommendation for dive watch (new or pre-owned) at RM3-7k?

Thanks in advance.

Brother roystock

I am a Diver watch enthusiast have lots of diving watch just seem to not having enough of them.

I have been eyeing on this Ball skindiver which is exactly fit your requirement.

I like the bracelet as its so body hugging and thin. It comes with a rubber strap too.

Check it out before I grab THEM

 ;D
 :Cheers:

The MM300 is the finest dive watch in this price range. But if you are looking for something with a low profile, check out the 42 mm Planet Ocean 2500.

what about Deep Blue dive watches. I currently have my eyes on the, DAYNIGHT - 65 TUBES T100 TRITIUM AUTO COLLECTION.

But not sure if Deep Blue have any distributors in Malaysia.

if you are into micro brands, perhaps you can check out Halios watches. Their new watch is coming out soon both in bronze and ss.

and of ocurse, just like bro jason mentioned, you cant go wrong with any of the Seiko divers esp. MM300!!  :thumbsup:

Check this out. The version with date is still in production, thus easy to find. If you like the no date, need a bit of luck, but still possible. Both within your range.

ball engineer master II world-time.  You have a 300m rating depth, day-date , world-time function . what else you need more , and at that price, i think its a bargain
