Very popular and affordable quality divers list could start with japanese brands classic models like Orient Mako & Ray, Seiko Divers & Monster & Marine Master... In my humble opinion.

SOOO much on the list of one of the next three watches I get. Hopin' for the white though.

I didn't know they were coming out with a white? I know of the blue and the black, but I wish this were on my list of the next three. Alas I am a but a poor college student in China, ha. Its the simplicity of this one that gets me. Its actually what drew me to the Sea Diver. I had actually bought a different diver right before I saw the Sea Diver and the next day I ordered it as well. I waited until the other one came in and flipped it immediately. I really like the simplistic almost bauhaus look of it on a diver. When I was in America it got the most compliments along with my pilot watch.

What is the pilot watch you have? Care to share info about it as well as some photos?

Divers for me and I couldn't buy non divers watches fearing that I might not wear them, lol.

It was just a Parnis Pilot, and I would, but before I moved to China I gave it to a friend who wasn't into watches at all and loved that one. So no more pilot.. It was one of my cheapest watches, but one of my favorites.

Ok I'll post a picture anyway, found an old one on my computer with one of my favorite books.



Once again I really like the simplistic, clean dial. I mean I definitely like other watches that don't have clean dials, but I do tend to naturally gravitate towards these.

I mostly have Chronographs, but like almost all styles (didnt like much the old fashioned styles), and just started to learn in the diving watches world

Please share some of the chronographs you have.

Images taken from web

Seagull Airforce 1963 chrono

IWC Pilot 3706

Well, I have some rep (including a New Audemars ROO Chrono), but I presume we wont talk about reps, so I will stay legit and post only the authentic ones.
All of them are quartz:

Festina


Armani (I like that this one doesnt have a seconds subdial, like a "vintage style" chrono.


This is a Tag Heuer F1


This one is a nice Nauticfish Concept Chrono


And the Tissot "flagship", PRC 200

I see that the diver watch won this poll. I would like to see an IWC Big Pilot style, but in 42-43mm case size and L2L of no more than 50mm.

Another one that goes for divers. I find them aturdy, reliable and no nonsense.

 

[akatim]

Automatic divers that aren't direct homages.
