Thank you sir. How about Japanese brand? Seiko SBDX001 looks really good for a dive watch.

Yes indeed!! If you are not after the swiss watch, SBDX001 offers much better value for the price compared to the other brand new Swiss watches in the similar price bracket (in-house Vs ETA, not that there's anything wrong with EtA).....

I obviously don't own the Marinemaster, but have seen one recently, it's so nice....But, i dont foresee myself buying one, unfortunately.....

Buy what u like but in my opinion check around SEIKO PROSPEX for their diving watch series or pilot and land series.

I personally like this piece very much it will fit your budget well with extra spare cash left..it comes with SS version as well..but i like the 1 with leather on it cause it looks more classy with leather..i almost pulled trigger on this piece during my last visit to KL a month ago but my wife keeps on dragging me out of the shop...hahahahaha

Titoni Seascoper, well within your budget.  A little under-marketed brand internationally.  Of course, there is a similar model from Tissot as well.
