I'm searching for A Sub Hulk homage but am in a pickle.
There's Phoibos, Heimdallr and Tisell. If there are any other is this price range (250-400) please let me know.
The deciding factor here is quality control and water resistance. I've heard horror stories from all of them. I want to avoid having to return it due to any problems and want piece of mind when going for quick dives near reefs.
Tisell is currently out of stock, and Phoibos should be restocked in January (hope they update the bezel)

Thanks in advance!

Orienk make a Mako with a green bezel, but the dial is black. I will also throw something else into the pot. There is make called Cavadini, only available from Germany, but they are very well made, and are delivered quickly, especially if you live in the UK. I have previously owned a few, and they what it says on the can. The one in the link has an auto movement, albeit they do a quartz movement as well. Having swum many times with them on, I can assure you they are watertight. Just a thought

I believe that Gnomon still has the Squale Mint.
I own the Squale Mint watch. I love it!

I also own the black version of the Mercur watch pictured below. For a third of the price of the Squale, you'll feel you have purchased equal value. Both of these watches are on my inner rotation list.

Want Swiss, Squale is awesome. Want a fine Chinese watch at 30% of Squale, then Mercur is a way to go.
