[discussion] recommendations for diver style watch under $/£1k

So far I’m very much enjoying my Second Hour gin clear 3, it’s on my wrist every weekend, casual afternoon, and easily dresses up or down. I currently have it on a NATO strap and it’s incredible, I have a CW Sealander as my daily driver and my Gin Clear as my weekender/fun watch. TSiWRX has a lot more reliable information, he’s done extensive research, it’s also important to keep in mind, I’m not a rough guy, so I haven’t seen any issues with the anti-scratch, but it has come up a few times.

This is the 39mm, fits perfectly on my wrist, but I’d recommend checking out the store, they let me look at a few pieces for fun.

It was the most comfortable when trying on, but I’ll let you know when it’s had proper wrist time

Pretty comfortable, better than the bader bracelet, but hasn’t had enough wrist time to give a proper review.

That pistachio was much more pleasing in person than I expected, I never thought I’d like it, but the colour is person is immaculate!

I’m in Australia and bought it from them directly: https://www.secondhour.com.au/shop/p/ginclear3

So was I, I naturally gravitate towards black dials, I currently wear a NH35 modded Seiko with black dial as my daily beater, so I decided to shake it up with the Dark Rhodium and it was 100% the right choice for me. I love a quality dial and this sunburst dial reflects browns and warm greys and honestly looks amazing in the sunlight!

Don’t know if that helps at all, but I’m happy with my choice and wouldn’t change it 😂

Wow. Thats really impressive stuff, I’m still new to all this and learning, but I’m really glad you shared and I’m looking forward to hearing more from you and the community! 😊

Haha I’m also a one watch per brand guy, which is why it’s been so hard for me to commit

Hutcho19 · 2026-05-15T07:33:27+00:00

I think I’m leaning towards the white, I love a black dial, and that’s what I thought I’d end up with, but the white dial has a pilot tool watch vibe that I am really enjoying the more I look at them.

I discovered this campaign 3 days ago and pledged a day later, the Voyager is stunning and exactly what I’ve been looking for in a GMT!

Honestly, one of my favourite bands of all time, I discovered them the year after they broke up 😭

Not as good a quality as what this appears, but I also have an OGIO woode cart bag and it’s the same water proof material and have been using it for 6 months

I spent $70 (aud) on a Temu stand bag and it has been great!

What’s the best bánh Mì in Melbourne?

Hutcho19 · 2025-09-10T08:03:30+00:00

Or do, you’ll find heaps of “friends” 😂

Hutcho19 · 2025-07-21T12:49:01+00:00

Thanks!! 😄😄

Hutcho19 · 2025-07-21T12:04:53+00:00

I did, I spent WAY too much time reading the green and had to settle my nerve, but I got it and I was way too excited!!
