In that price range, Sub or Daytona for sure! Daytona on strap will keep some coin in your pocket.

With 20K, u can get a used 116618 LB. A gorgeous watch all the same even without the new sunburst dial.

On your budget, I would look for a nice pre ceramic blue sub. Would be a nice pair for the BLNR.

Stick with the sports models. YG Submariner 116618 blue, the best YG model IMO
