 Hello Kyle and welcome to 3T. The Seamaster is a great watch and I can understand your need for a beater. As you mentioned the big Japanes brands, here are a few examples of inexpensive but imho robust watches:

Seiko Monster. Available in orange and black and other more exotic colors ($$). A staple of any WIS' collection.



Citizen NY0040-09W. Available in less garish color combos.



And the Orient Sub commonly referred to as the "Mako".



Just a few quick options... Check the IW link at the left of the forum and you'll be directed to Island Watch which is run by our good friend Marc Frankel. I believe he can get these with the exception of the Citizen... but I wouldn't put it past him!! Looking forward to seeing where you go... there are a lot of options...
