            I'll be the contrarian- Mako XL.  Get it with the blue dial, which is one of the best blue dials I've ever seen at any price.

                I've been messing about on the watch decision front for months now, I originally wanted a Mako, then a Monster, then a Seiko SK007, then a 7002 and have finally purchased….....a Mako XL. Spent a fair portion of the morning trawling through watch forums for opinions, reviews etc.... and went with the Mako XL with a black face and bezel and a shark mesh bracelet.

                I know for most of you guys that getting a cheap diving watch probably isn't a big decision, but I know absolutely sod all about watches. For the last 18 months I've been wearing an old Rado Voyager that I got free with a pair of glasses (strange I know), but that is in dire need of a service and minor repair so I finally took the plunge on a diving watch.

                      I quite like that tbh, but as you pointed out there is a hefty premium on it for the custom parts.

                        It is a hefty premium and you always have to wonder who the cobbler was and if they knew what they were doing.

                                            Also, nice Poljot Chris, wasn't aware of that model, guess it's the Russian Speedy though?
