Advise on find a similar watch

I have decided to sell my GMT Master and I fancy something that looks like an Omega Aqua terra but without the cost. I want something simple, with a reliable eta automatic movement.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Max budget £500 GBP.

Thanks

Not an ETA movement but how about a Citizen Grand?

If looks and build quality are a factor then I would highly consider the idea of high accuracy quartz models. New Grand Seiko quartz will give you that wonderful polished build quality starting at $1650 new and maintain a minimum accuracy within 5seconds a year; some even more than that. High accuracy quartz are in another league of quartz IMHO and the technology can be as appreciative as a mechanical ETA. Used ones are typically well within your budget.

+1 - although depending on what you may already own you might consider an Ecodrive (or Solar from Seiko) model?

I have a couple of Grand Classics, and there are NO Eco Drives short of the Signature line, that come close to fit and finish.
