What would you guys suggest as the best dive watch, max 41mm, under $500? There's a few Swiss brand which are quite cheap but haven't read much in the way of positive reviews.

Thoughts on Oris Big Crown Pointer Date? Personally I think it's gorgeous.

Seamaster vs. Black Bay?
I like both, but both have details that bother me.
I don't care for the exposed crown on the BB and the "little brother" shadow of the sub.
The seamaster is a beautiful watch but the design is almost dainty. I do not like the bracelet.
If you had to choose, what would you choose? Open to suggestions in that price range too

Saw this at a RedBar event. To all you rap fans out there the Rolex Daytona is the watch Pusha T named his album after.

Long story short I was able to snag a mint pre owned one for $1200CAD, only issue is it's on a blue rubber strap. Having never spent more than $200 on a watch before it's easier in my mind to justify a purchase of $1200 and then $400 for the bracelet rather than $2000 upfront from a grey market seller, plus I have a spare strap now.

Black Bay has never done much for me. The Pelagos, on the other hand, is gorgeous and totally unique.
Are you set on spending that much for a luxury brand? Right now if I was looking at divers, the Oris Source of Life would be on the top of my list. I've worn Omega, Breitling, Tag, ect…. never gotten more attention and compliments with anything than my Oris Maldives gets.

Been looking for a training/smarter watch for a long time.
For a short while I had the Garmin Fenix 5S, but I wasn't convinced. It wasn't a comfortable daily beater and all around it was quite a lot of money spent on something which wasn't quite what I expected.
That is until I got intrigued to check out the market when I saw the Polar Vantage M, a new sensor design for OHR readings (heart rate) - too bad they basically released a beta watch which is still missing features.
I kept on looking and I saw that Garmin had actually released a new watch, the Garmin Instinct.
This is a watch that is by some called the G-Shock of training watches.
Not only is it waterproof as all the other Garmin watches (Fenix, Bravo, Vivo…), but it's also developed to be conformant with MIL-STD-810.
The design is very much improved over other competing watches. It's light (around 52grams), the material of the original band is much better than the original bands of Fenix 3HR and Fenix 5S.
Additionally the design here with the OHR sensor is made so that the sensor doesn't protrude and thus it wears very comfortably. The readings are also much more accurate and they read nice even while rowing and doing squats.
The screen is black/white and it's easy to read off, it also has back-lightning just like G-Shock watches with similar screens.

I'm part of the RedBar locally where I live and my clasp on my dad's Omega Seamaster Pro broke. It's a keepsake so I had to get it fixed. I got the bracelet and tried to replace it myself but I couldn't do it right. I took it to a local jeweler that is Omega Certified and they fixed it for me.
They even gave me a Omega Executive Pen!
Tried on my future watch…
I'm not a Rolex guy but a fan of the Daytona.

Very nice pickup. I think the size looks good on you. The watches with the small bezels always wear deceptively large.

Looking into getting a used speedmaster professional in a few months. I remember a couple of years ago there was a discussion on whether to go with Sapphire or Hesalite.. Which one should I go for?

For that size and price, the Seiko SKX007 is hard to beat. There's a reason it is always recommended at this point. Orient is a good alternative, but a hair big as mentioned above.
Also the SKX007 has a ton of options if you want to mod it.

Hesalite seems to be the way to go, I can find way more watches available used with heslite glass (3570.50) rather than the sapphire and for a better price.
Gonna be around $4000 + $400 (10%) in taxes.
I went into the Omega store here in Melbourne on Saturday to actually go look at a speedmaster IRL. Was kinda anxious since I've never been in a store like that but the sales guy was super cool and ended up talking for a bt about watches in general..
I was actually surprised at the price on a speedmaster professional brand new.. its only $6600. I'm used to everything in Australia being super overpriced I guess. lol
Gotta say tho the speedmaster was much smaller than and delicate than I expected it to be. From the online pics it looks much more rugged. I do save a very tiny wrist though.. just 6.5 inches in circumference.

Finally bought a nice watch. Was between this, the SMPc, Sub 14060M, and Tudor BB58. Can't stop looking at it, so I think I chose right.
This PoS site doesn't let me post pics anymore. Anyway, got a Planet Ocean 2500.
