Since my Rolex Submariner was recently stolen, I am in the market for a new watch; however, I have decided to put a $1000.00 limit on the price of this watch.  I would love some suggestions on nice watch that would fill the void of my Rolex but at a lower price point.  Thanks, Tim.ThumbsUp02.gif

Two of my favorite affordable sub homage's, if that is what you are looking for, are:

1) Steinhart Vintage Red

and

2) MKII LRRP Milsub

I don't mind if it is a homage as long as it is a very good quality watch in it's own regard. I loved my Rolex Two toned submariner but did not like the attention it got!, Nor did I like the fact that it never kept good time for a $9000 watch! LOL.   If I ever buy another, it will be the black SS Submariner or a good Panerai. I have a nice local built homage to the Panerai Fiddy with a Swiss Unitas 6497 that I really enjoy. It has a black sterile dial...happy guy.gif  I have already considered the Debaufre Ocean 1 with green bezel but I have a mint condition Trident with SS bracelet and the rubber strap.  Currently have it on the rubber as it is very heavy on the bracelet.  So, I am not sure I want another Debaufre at this time.  Thanks for all the suggestions!

+1 to Oscar's post. All you need is here on 3T. All the brands that O mentioned are truly good choices. That Baliha'i is a remarkable one.

Tim, at the price point you mentioned, I can also recommend the Dievas Aqua Luna in either steel or PVD and in either gray or blue dial. Like I said on an earlier post, this line is built like a tank. Note I don't work for Gnomon nor represent the Dievas brand but I have 3 Aqua Lunas....they're really built to last.

I think it is a great design, but why didn't they match the colour of the hands and markers?  Sorry, just me.....

if you can go just above 1k, you can find preloved Anonimo Millimetris pretty frequently for right around 1k. I own 2 other Anonimos and love them very much.

I have this limited sub from Epos myself. There was made only 222 pieces for the Asian market. I had it for a year or so and I'm very pleased. It's a 44mm housing a 2824.2 with a different twist inspired from the Millgauss. Still a guy on the Bay who sell it...
It's a great watch for the buks.

Tim, are you looking for a new piece or pre-owned? As you are aware going pre-owned opens up a whole lot of options.
