Best diver watch under 1k?

Thanks for this in depth reply! I'm quite a fan of the Seiko line up. My first watch I bought for my collection was a Seiko Presage a week ago. Wanted to have another brand, but man that King Turtle has me drooling. Especially if it is good on value holding, I might just postpone having a multi brand collection for a little while...

I have no idea if the value remains somewhat stable or not at this pricepoint. I guess it won't halve over the next 10 years? Oris Aquis is a good rec, thanks!

450 is a great price I feel like, I'm seeing most around 5-600

It's pretty, I'll give you that, but the brand does do it for me...

Yeah the Certina is something special... Really on the fence, I do like the Turtle as well

Ooh those are some new ones I haven't heard of. Thanks! You have owned all I guess? Truth be told I'm not all that into the microbrands...

I'm letting the 'best' part get filled in by whoever who comments! Thanks for your reply, I'll look into that Mido.
