I like the look of the Dan Henry's 1970 diver watch. It comes in 40 and 44.

Don't know anything specific but I've heard of watchuseek.com which might offer some assistance.
I've been wearing these for 20 years now, and will probably have one the rest of my life.
Casio Men's G-Shock MTGM900DA-8CR Tough Solar Atomic Stainless Steel Sport Watch

Jomashop has some real good prices on them.
The all stainless Casio G-Shock is in the mix. I appreciate everyone's input.
I have a Mido Ocean Star auto. I'm generally not an auto fan but this was a gift from the prettier half, and it is a really good looking watch - mine is black and stainless. I like blue/stainless better but this one has grown on me. I will say that for a Caliber 80, it only really holds about a 36 hour reserve (unless I wind it before I let it sit, then it goes much farther). It keeps excellent time, losing or gaining no more than a minute per month. It's a 43 and stainless and can be had for about 700 out the door. I've seen Jared run them for about 700 but not right now.
Here it is about 30% cheaper than Jared and other retailers. https://www.watchmaxx.com/mido-watch-m026-430-11-051-00

That's a pretty good deal. I think that Seiko is getting close to being deleted from my list.
I am an INVICTA fan, also around a 43mm for me.
However, I am not a one watch kinda guy.... I have several for various reasons. If I'm wrenching it usually something cheap like a G-SHOCK of some flavor, day to day its an ebay INVICTA (authentic, but models from years passed at half the price), Then I have a few "dealer" INVICTAS as well that don't really see much daylight. Nothing extravagant here... But I do love a nice SS watch!
I've tried to get into the Citizen, and just could never find one I liked.

I bought one of those as my work watch a couple of years ago. It’s been covered in dirt, mud, sweat and blood and still going. I’ll be buying another if this one kicks it.
I don't have that one, but i have an egard mechanical. I like it and the company.
He certainly isn't diving to 200 meters even of he does.
I mean it's ridiculous. I wonder how much a 10-year battery costs? And the trouble to reinstall it. I have messed that job up before. There's a tiny rubber gasket etc. The store at the mall charges $40 to replace batteries. It literally is better to just buy another watch, I think.
I have a coworker who does this - he buys cheaper digital watches and when the battery dies, he tosses the watch and buys another one.
$13.16 shipped from Amazon.
The battery is just a CR2032.
In the past when I replaced a g-shock battery I put grease on the gasket to stop it slipping when reinstalling the case back.

Buy once, cry once.
Hard to beat a Sinn German Watch.
I love my 556i but you might go larger & hardened steel with an 856/857.
I own 4 Citizens - 2 divers & 2 high end automatics. I reach for the Sinn more often then all my other watches combined.
