A Sinn U1 or U50 would be a great choice - depending on the size you want. Laco is another great German manufacturer that has some great tool watch designs.

Some more in Hiram's line of thinking. U-50  Another U-50  A great Laco Diver  Another great German brand and even less well known, Archimede.  |

Oh... it wasn't free believe me... but I did give him a nice discount.

I hope that OP enjoys it. ETA: In my case, if I were to buy a Sinn dive watch, I would go with a U50 instead of a U1. They are tempting to me, but I very much enjoy my Sinn 556i, so I will probably just stick with that. |

The second Sinn has arrived. Used Sinn 303 Krystall in very good condition. The downside? I snagged the wrong used one and it doesnt have enough links in the bracelet. Im heading to visit the Sinn factory in September and may grab a Sinn 104 (white dial black bezel) if in stock or that ice blue Sinn 556.

You should have bought this when I told you to! And I might sell you this one as I’m not a huge fan of DLC.

| The Murph is a sub-model of the Hamilton Khaki Field. They just released a beautiful blue dial version of it in 38mm. Im holding out hoping they make a 42mm version of it. |
