路I have a friend who is 6'4", 72 years old and used to be a navy diver. Does he meet your requirements? ( Not Swiss, but he can do accents.) He is also a real cheapskate.
Looking for a large vintage diver.

路
The Beuchat and similar-cased watches are among my favorite large-ish divers. The case looks like a slab but wears extremely well.

路Good old Titus Calypsomatics: while the gilt ETA-powered models command a decent premium, the later Felsa powered models still have a respectable size of 38mm and can be had relatively cheaply if sourced. The 8895 is the day/date model and the 8940 is the date model.

路So @Dash1 which divers did you get in these two years?
Diver - yes
Vintage - yes
Large - yes
Swiss - yes
Inexpensive - no (although good value for a vintage Omega at 拢1500)
Of course I wasn't short of vintage divers anyway:
Thank you to all contributors!

路What do you define as inexpensive ? Under $1000, $500, $200...
There are a bunch of inexpensive, cool watches out there unfortunately the cases are plated.
One watch that has always stuck for me is the Whitnauer skindiver. You don鈥檛 see a lot of them but they鈥檙e actually really cool .

A couple things:
1) Check the date on original post - this is a 2 year old thread. The OP even replied to somebody who asked him what he already bought just a few posts above yours, and thanked all of the contributors to this thread.
2) It's spelled Wittnauer.
However, the necrothreadiac was JerH64 so you're off the hook. 馃槈
