·Hello all,
I absolutely LOVE my SMPc and wear it just about every single day for every type of activity. However, I have to demagnetize it at least once per week, sometimes more often. I don’t know exactly what is causing it, but it only happens on days/weeks when I am working.
I lately started wearing a quartz field style watch to work, and switch to my SMPc every evening. I have since not had any issues with either of them. This tells me that whatever is magnetizing my Seamaster is just strong enough to do it, but not strong enough to affect a quartz watch.
I REALLY miss wearing my Seamaster at work, and miss having a dive style watch in general. I looked into finding a preowned Seamaster quartz, but with a baby on the way and being in the middle of hail damage repairs on my house, I can’t swing that cost right now.
Are there any quartz diver options out there that give the same vibe as the Seamaster, with similar dimensions, but at an affordable cost?
I’m looking for 41mm diameter, 20mm lug width, not razor thin, and under $500usd.
I tried on different options from Tissot, Citizen, and Seiko, but the ones with the correct diameter were way too thin, and the ones with a good thickness were way too wide. In both groups, most had 22mm lugs.
Anyone have any decent options?
