They have some really lovely designs. I only wish they could come down a bit in size. My tastes have changed and all their stuff is just too large now.

It's soon time to order a new watch. I don't know if I want a nice diver, or a nice classy beater. My favorite among all my watches is the Wenger Sea Force, I love it, but it also means I already have a diver.
 
Suggestions? Budget: I'm not rich by any means, but maybe tops $4-500? Somewhere there... I suppose. Cheaper is also just fine, and perhaps a little more expensive could work, if I really, truly, deeply fall in love with it. But 4-500 is a good starting point.
 
If I look at divers, I look at Seiko Black Monsters. But they're almost a little too "in your face" for this time.
 
If not a diver, it's more free, just no distracting crap on the watch face.. Numbering is fine, it has to have good luminant capabilities in the dark because I wake up often at night and glance at my watch. But little more (date is fine, just no chronographs or distracting text/logos). Water resistance is a must; if it's a metal bracelet I will shower and bath with it. Automatic or quartz is of no importance to me.
 
Best of both worlds maybe? A classy looking, low toned, diver that could be mistaken for a dress watch perhaps?
 
Oh, it needs to be somewhat rugged though, and able to handle my clumsiness.

-What about Steinhart's Submariner knockoffs? Excellent quality for the price (Which is somewhere around €350-400), definitely in the classy diver camp, can take a bit of banging about. Perhaps the dial is a little bit cluttered (It is a knockoff to the extent that they had to put oodles of text where Rolex puts their 'Superlative Chronometer' etc. prose) - but a nice watch nonetheless.
 
Movement is an ETA2824 automatic, IIRC.

Considering an Ocean One Green myself - I really, really like the Kermit Submariner, but not to the extent that I'd be willing to pay the current going rate for the real deal.

I just picked this up: the Seiko SARX015. It's a JDM model, part of the Presage line, and uses the 6R15 hacking movement. For <$500, it's not a bad deal. The finishing is good, and the design takes after its pricier Grand Seiko brethren, along with an homage of cues from the Aqua Terra Submariner line from Omega, such as the teak dial.

They are beautiful.
 
I do however wonder how good their lume is. Superluminova C3 doesn't tell me a lot, but it might tell watch enthusiasts more?
