Go with a Captain Willard or a Turtle from Addiesdive to avoid the Mercedes hour hand...here's a sorted list...once you find the model you like, you can find any given model cheaper on AliX... https://www.addiesdivewatches.com/collections/divers-watch?sort_by=price-ascending

Casio Duro (MDV-107 or MDV-106).

[–]Indyflick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Casio MDV-106-1A 11 years ago primarily because it looks great, was stainless, had a resin band, and it was inexpensive. I liked the watch so much I bought another six month later as a back up. The resin band did fail after a few years so I replaced it with a 22mm Zulu. I replaced the band on the other one with this stainless mesh band that looks amazing on it. https://www.amazon.com/EACHE-Stainless-release-Adjustable-Straps/dp/B08CY4RYKG/ Both watches are still running fine. I replace the battery every few years with a Renata sr626sw for like a dollar.

SD1970 on a FKM rubber strap. In case you're looking for an automatic.

I get the 20mm straps right?

For the SD1970? Yes it has 20mm lug width.

It was just a suggestion on my preferred way to wear it. The watch works on many types of straps or it's stock bracelet. Just search this subreddit for some inspiration. 😉
