So I Live Big Divers....
Watches that is. I wear a SD43 and wanted some other suggestions from ya'll. Looking to add to my collection and wanted some advice on other quality manufactures who make some bigger divers in the 1k - 2k range. Mainly looking for a quality affordable "beater" when I absolutely cant wear my SD43.

Less than that. Seiko SRP777. If you get that it might be the best diver you own.

Panerai. Any grey will be happy to hear from you if they took one on a trade.

Project 300
https://www.mkiiwatches.com/project-300 I received mine a couple of weeks ago after a modest 3.5 year wait. Some have waited 9 years. The bulk of the production will go on sale soon. Mine:      Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I highly recommend the Oris Aquis. I have the green in 43.5mm but they have multiple colors and sizes, up to 45.5mm. I got mine for 1600 OTD.

Look in the classifieds on this forum. An almost new Seiko Marinemaster is up for sale.
For me, in your 1-2k price range, top of my list would be a Doxa. They are awesome. Another nice one is a Stowa Prodiver. Less than 2k with no VAT. Both of those are on my short list. Quality watches for a decent price. Plenty of niche and small boutique brands out there too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sinn U212. Amazingly durable and beautiful watch. Made of tegimented steel, virtually impossible to mark this thing

For curiosity - what would you not wear the Rolex for, but would still be ok with a mechanical watch ? I get a G-shock style beater for the really rough stuff, but beyond that the Rolex would surely handle anything just fine ?

You need an old Omega PO 2500 used can be had a little over 2k. I got one for cheap, they're excellent beaters.
