Zelos titanium Swordfish would be my choice. Mine has a meteorite red PVD dial.

Me too! I just wish they opened up the strap options to any of the catalog that fits. Didn’t really want to have to buy an extra strap only to have the one it comes on gather dust.

Anyone have experience with their bader bracelet? If it’s any good maybe I’ll get one on bracelet then just add the strap I like.

Hard decision and a lot of variety in this category and price range.

A friend of mine had the white dial MSAR. Neat watch. REALLY TALL. Unless you were wearing it over a dive suit or under a flight suit cuff, it's a bit of a PITA. (or no shirt). https://www.marathonwatch.com/collec...-bracelet-36mm

True enough but it IS a diver.

A fashion diver as the Sub has become can afford to be svelte.

When I want to grip the bezel while diving, I need it to stand proud.

Next time I'm in a mall I'm going to take a look at the Tissot Sea Star in person. It's looks great in the online professionally taken photo shoots, but want to get my hands on one to see how it looks and feels. Great price point as well.

Spent several days of travel and playing in the surf with my Mido Ocean Star.

What a great watch.

Pre-2018 Omega Seamaster Diver 300 is compact enough to fit under any sleeve, low key, and won't break the bank.
