Hi .

I'm looking to buy a divers watch , would like something a little bit on the dressy side from one of the smaller brands.

i've narrowed it down to theses two

any opinions would be welcome on value for money. best overall watch. or anything really

Thanks

I'm a big Steinhart fan, but wouldn't call that watch a dressy watch. They're great value for money; and typically well built.

agreed...

Ocean Two White is a dressy alternative diver watch from Steinhart but can be used casual aswell

Once the others start chipping in with ideas here, you'll be spoiled for choice

For me, the Steinhart is just another Sub copy. Ocean 7 all the way.

Ocean 7 looks alot like the Stowa Antea and would prefer the Stowa

The Ocean 7 watch in the link above is not a diver, but a dress watch

I would agree with Ocean 2 suggestion above, for what you are looking for. Other brand that I mentioned here before and only recently discovered is Obris Morgan, no personal experience but look good. You can buy their Branco here , I am not sure where you can buy the Explorer which has a He escape valve in case you are doing any saturation diving

Just doing a bit of diligence and came across this on long island watch

Thanks for all the replies.
Lots of helpful ideas

The Steinhart is too 'Poor Mans Submariner' for me personally.
