Not sure if you're after a 'luxury' brand but Citizen also make a good watch for the price.

I am slowly but surely selling off my entire collection. Ever since I got my Deepsea, it's all I wear. The only problem is, I'd like something a less expensive that I can wear and knock around and not feel bad doing it. Here are my stipulations:
What do you guys think? |

Oris has a nice selection of divers in that price range. |

I've got it listed here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16036 In regards to Oris - I had an Oris TT1 but the case shape was just too weird for me. It had tremendous build quality for the price but I just didn't love it. |

beauty! Too rich for my blood, but I'm sure someone will snatch it - it's so good looking. Why not spend the $1500 on a used/vintage Breitling that you have some familiarity with? Maybe a quartz version of one of the autos or just an auto or quartz that someone is dumping on one of the many watch forums. Here is a website that combs and lists many sales forums together. Just search for whatever brand you want: http://www.elitedealseeker.com/index.cg ... ry=watches |

Yeah, I'd like something that is around 3 years old or newer. I'll keep an eye out. |

Not really digging the Speedys anymore. After I sold my 3570, I haven't had a desire for another one. I'm trying to find a used Lum-Tec Combat B1/B2 right now

Why not a used Steelfish, it has all you desire. 44mm, brushed, diver. |

Have you considered the Oris TT3 models. Brushed/polished Ti, 100m resistance, CF dials. Beautiful quality for the money. Ike |

Yeah, I've had an Oris before but wasn't the biggest fan... |

What about some of the lesser know brands like Halios, Nauticfish, Ocean7, etc. |

I don't know if it is too much of a Rolex homage but what about a Longines Hydroconquest, either the regular automatic or chrono? They seem to be a solid watch for the money, comparable to Oris in quality. |
