I guess you will like the #3.
Cushion case, but not like Seiko or Doxa, 44mm diameter about 15mm thick, 500m, domed sapphire, Miyota movement, no MOP dial( has to less fans) easy to ready 4 numbers dial and big hands as always . For the early pre order again the choices of the case finish like the SD.

I think that so far you made your success with your own design and you should keep it that way. IMHO, a diver's watch should be big and thick (42 to 47mm and 14 to 20mm tall) and easy to read. I like oversize plongeur hands. I would not do any homage or replica, they are all over the place already. Definitely an auto movement, gmt would be great and i know that Sellita have good movements that are cheaper than ETA. I think that Seiko auto movements are also available. If not, the Myota movement is fine with me, not perfect but cheap, well known, reliable and very accurate when adjusted. I would not go with any chineese movement even if they really improved in quality (specially Seagull movements), they still have bad reputation and would probably turn off many potential buyers starting with me. No skeletton back unless you use a nice decorated movement (Myota is not so nice to look at) and i realy don't like MOP dials. I think that the cushion case, like used on older Seiko or Doxa would be very nice, rated to min 300m to 1000m with the same finish choices of the SD. So i'm in for a retro or original design. As for the dial colors, i like your actual choices but would be open to see somthing different. The most important to me is that you keep the rugged and instrument look that you have now. That's your signature.
