Looking for a dive watch between 600-700 USD. The only 2 that came to mind were the JSAR and the SUMO. Anybody else have any ideas.
(no prefrence between auto or quartz)
Thanks guys

You might keep a look on the sales forums for a used Stowa Seatime. Sometimes they are around that price in very very nice condition.

If you like the retro look how about a Stingray?

Comes in between $500 & $600. Wonderful watch with great build-quality. (the Precista would be more).

How about a brand new Citizen 1000M AutoZilla for $690?

I just received mine this week from Superchrono : AutoZilla at Superchrono.com

After 3 days it is running less than 5 sec fast. It also has a manufactre date of July 2007 so it appears to be fresh stock.

I think it's a great bargain at this price.

.:-!

How about a brand new Ocean 7 LM3 with W/R of 1000meters, helium release valve, and the best anodized blue dial out there? $699/new and Mitch at Ocean 7 is one great guy to work with!

Thanks for the the replies guys. Keep em coming.
O Ya' I would prefer the watch to be at least 45mm case x 15mm thick.

I would also add the Original Marathon SAR automatic.

Without the bracelet it is only $485!! Tax if in CA, if not then only shipping is extra

With the bracelet which I would highly reccomend the whole cost pre-tax and shipping is $655!! For a 300m Swiss made diver with an eta 2824-2!!

Bob at Broadarrow.net has these on sale right now and I would highly recommend it for your budget!

+1 for the O7 LM-3. Great watch for the price and one of the easiest to read dials around.

 

[SlipKid]

An Enzo is would also fit your bill.

 

[jimmyk26]

I would vote for the LM-3 as well, one nice 1000m watch!

Nice pic.

If you could find one, you might be able to get a used Oris TT1 for that range.

 

[wilfreb]

i'll recomend an Oris diver.

 

[kid-a]

An Enzo is would also fit your bill.

This is what I am going to get when I find one for the right price, or when I can't stand to be without one long enough!!!:-d Simply amazing watch, and Enzo's personality and kindness makes me want one even more!

 

[calibro9]

where can you buy Enzo Mechana?
Thanks

 

[T Bone]

If you can get an Enzo in that price range, go for it (or let me know about it!).

Otherwise, I'll second the Marathon SAR on bracelet (surprised there've not been more).

All the Enzo's besides the smooth bezel are all sold out. Enzo's asking price is a little more than what you want to spend. He might be able to work something for you though. Email him at enzo@enzomechana.com and ask...Also... Warren sells them on the dealers forum for $895. Three different dials are available. Maybe you could make a deal with him. If not, you'll have to look on the private sellers forum for one. Thats what I am doing. Good luck!

 

[caesarmascetti]

I vote for the LM3 as well blue dial of course, Swiss made, ETA 2824 movement, helium release valve, 4mm thick saphire crystal= $699. The only real drawback is the lume is not as bright as it could be.

 

[Peter Atwood]

Take a good look at the Ocean 7 offerings. My personal choice would be to spend another $200 and get the LM-6 with yellow or black dial. But the LM-3 is nice too and there are 3 dial colors to choose from.

Debaufre Triton is an awesome watch and measures 45mm. Great build quality.

JSAR is a fantastic quartz watch for sure. If it's big that you want do not hesitate, the thing is a BEAST and the build quality is just awesome.

I'll second the Marathon SAR on bracelet (surprised there've not been more).

Great shots T. Not owning a SAR, I've always though that the "300m/1000ft" was printed in red, but in your shots it looks orange. Which is it? I'm hoping for orange, as that looks the best. Especially since the seconds hand tip is orange.
