They are like Rolex, only better.
I need a non-Rolex sports watch.

·Decisions, decisions 😀
But still, not so long ago a Nautilus for "only" £45k would have been considered a steal, or was this a preowned one? Even then... I'm glad to see a modicum of sanity return to watch prices at the "liked-by-instagrammers high-end segment of horology".
The 37mm and 40mm are still way more.
The 35mm appears to be considered a unisex or women's watch, depending upon who writes the description. I do like a smaller watch, though. I am still not going to spend £45k on something, though!

Globemaster with blue dial- perhaps not quite as ultra high end as the brands you’re citing, but has a platinum option if you want fancy.
Quite sporty and beautiful IMHO.

·That Globemaster is nice. Not entirely sure about the fine fluted bezel, though.

·I didn't realize that this purchase had a specific budget limitation. IIRC, you listed the Nautilus and RO in your original list. So what are you looking to spend for your gym and beach watch?
There is not a budget per se. I was more referring to the fact that Nautilus in question has a RSP of £25k but is still for sale at £45k.
That said, I were going to pay north of £15k for something, it would need to be more than a gym and beach watch. It would need to be a daily. I would also probably sell something else to contribute to the cost.
I tried this on yesterday. 35.4mm and looks great size-wise I think. I am not sure about the wavy lines on the dial however.

··MWR Tech Support DeptThis is a pretty interesting sports watch that also has a pretty dressy/ high end feel.
But it’s harder to obtain than a Rolex from what I can tell.

·Hallo friends of diver's watches,
I own a pack of nice vintage tool watches (Rolex, Blancpain, Omega, IWC, Enicar, ...), but I would never take them into salt water, after I had a bad experience with my Enicar Sherpa 600.
For many years I did wear a fake Submariner, no problem if it was sunk or stolen in South East Asia tours. Lastly it got water inside and I wouldn't give it to my trusted watchmaker.
So I looked and decided for Squale, the famed Swiss-Italian maker (https://www.squale.ch/en/squale-sub-39), who did supply cases to Blancpain for Bathyscaphe, FF1000 and Bund 3H and supplied some famous underwater expeditions and Italian Special Forces.
Look how the traditional design fits my wrist ( it's the Sub39 GMT version):
It was really affordable and I am sure, it will survive and in any hazard case service is available.

And look at my fake Milsub in the Gulf of Siam:
And as we are in an Omega forum, I show my pilot line tool watches, inactive, as I dont wear them under water. I fear, even an Omega service would not garantee the water tightness, thoug also the Speedy Mk3 should take 50m.

Franz, I owned a Squale diver for a bit, but moved it on for other watches. Mine was the “Root Beer” maroon/brown dial and black bicolored bezel. It was really, really nice, and the full kit, strap, bracelet, leather travel pouch etc seemed upmarket for the price.
Sorry, got the colors wrong. Black dial with burgundy bezel.

·Not a (neo)vintage watch, but I really like the Nomos Club Sport.
