Rolex is the only "submariner"

I have 2 vintage-inspired dive watches in the ~$1k range (I think I paid less than $1k for each new, although retail on the Zodiac is more like $1.6k):

$150 Zodiacs were apparently a thing recently at some discount store

They're owned by fossil group or something equally prole so they'll be sold super cheap at random mall kiosks and outlet stores alongside Michael Kors or whatever other junk they have

This was a several week long MISTAKE or massive backstock push people were hunting down $150 Zodiacs. Pretty CR pickup at that discount. I have 2 Zodiacs I was goyraped for 😢.

Yeah, $150 is a sick price. I probably would have picked up some funky colored seas wolf for white boy summer.

That’s a nice looking watch. I think I want an uncommon watch brand that not a lot of people have heard of

The Baltic Aquascape I recall being a popular microbrand dive watch 5 or 6 years ago, kind of cool design. Lost interest in watches so not sure what some of the more recent ones are

Just bought this one on eBay for $900.

Basically exactly what I was looking for.

It’s a Pepsi Yema Superman with in house action. I like the look of it and it will be my beater. I wouldn’t mind having a vintage skin diver though.
