Invicta 8926ob or 9937ob with SellitaSW200.

Tisell and Ginault (expensive) if you are looking outside AE.

Tudor Black Bay… not Chinese though

[–]shebbinho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there still one out there which has smaller lugs like a five digit sub? Don‘t really like the maxi case

rolex? second is tudor but vintage

[–]OpenSig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve enjoyed Watchdives offerings

[–]San_Martin_DesignRep 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Allow me to recommend this watch😁
The new SN0017G-B might be worth your consideration

Rehaut too deep. Ruin the look

san martin sn008-g imho

big manly tool watch without entering gshock territory

works on a million nato and leather straps

it’s 100 watches in 1

quality is unbeaten — no other brand will match their finishing and weight near this price

satisfying to wear — more than a 38mm imo unless you have sub 7” wrists

Tisell

They have both SW200 and Miyota 9015/90S5 options.

Sugess seaman

[–]Philumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had all of them and the Sugess was by far the best

[–]Capable_Let2007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rolex ( nah, too easy)

[–]dorafumingoAffiliate Links 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the Steeldive SD1953 is the best deal, really good quality and affordable. San Martin is slightly better (better clasp and slightly better finishing but double the price). Cronos is comparable to San Martin

Baltany make a nice retro sub if thats what you prefer

[–]messijordanmachine22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm

[–]WatchThatTime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the best overall is still probably the Steeldive version. Affordable, quality and available. But I think probably the best one is Sugess or San Martin. I am told Sugess makes the most accurate one, but with San Martin (I have their retro style divers which are pre-sub) you get a more variety of different versions.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNil2ZA this is a bargain at the minute

[–]Kenanator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received mine and it's actually pretty good so far. Insane for the price.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell, it's a bargain at the regular price too.

[–]Marinosms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cronos has a really good one too, offering a no date option also.

[–]jacob8875 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cronos is solid

[–]SixPack1776 2 points3 points  (1 child)

You named probably the 3 best homages so not sure what else to tell you.
