I've got 2 of the 3. They are not a Sub, not even close.

That Monta is a lot of watch for the money. The bracelet is incredible. Would like an actual dressed ETA for that $$

If you’re talking value, I’d also make an argument for a Sinn and a Steinhart. Of course they’re not Rokexes but they are less expensive and way more available.

A good article and I have owned the Seiko and a Black Bay, not the 58 as listed. For what it is,the Submariner is the best in class and sets the benchmark. If you do not want a Rolex you have alternatives. But if Rolex is the answer then the others do not do it.

Street price of the tag Aquaracer is significantly less than MSRP! Around $1600.

I would argue the Pelagos is a good alternative to the Sub as well

Absolutely. It also has a better and superior movement to the sub. It’s a great looking piece.
