    Falling in love with the clarity and beauty of the hesalite crystal on my Speedmaster, I'm curious whats the last Seamaster made with an acrylic crystal, or another dive watch in the same market? I was drooling over those Rolex 5513's, but they are way out of my price range.

    Vostok Diver Dude with acrylic crystal. Not vintage but an automatic movement, waterproof diver for under $100 modded. Instant fun from Russia.

    I'm more of a Seiko Tuna girl actually & not really into this Omega's Vintage SMP 200 thinghy but you better do a thorough research

    There are some rare nice quartz models being offered & they have either acrylic or mineral glass with heavy scratches on the crystal surface. Heck ! There's even one with a rare acrylic bezel too...
    How big are those small vintage divers anyway ? Personally, I just dont get it when someOne wears a vintage divers anything less than 39 mm. Maybe it's just me because I'm very tuned in to XXL divers.
    Sorry, I guess I'm not much of a help but the experts will be here soon....
    Take Care Sir[emoji136]
