seiko shogun vs oris aquis

I am looking at buying a diver for about 1000 new or used. I like these two models but I can not decide. Also which lume lasts longer I am looking into a lume that can last 6 to 12 hours, another watch I was also thinking about was the stienhart ocean 1 titanium 500. any Ideas

ICONO

Dollars / Sterling / Rials / Pesos ?

There are some superb Seiko Marinemaster 300 Professionals, surfacing recently around the £1k mark - The lume is blinding

Looked at one in my local watchmakers - It is an impressive beast, possibly even more macho, than a Sea Dweller

Honestly if you like the Shogun, I would get the new Turtle re-release, its basically the same dial and similar movement (hacking/ winding), and way more interesting watch at 1/2 the price. Then pic up a skx 009 for something a bit different that does not hack or wind if that is your thing.

Primarily problems with the shiny metal hands getting a white film building up on them, and then pitting. Also the dials fading quite badly in some cases. I'm not sure how well the more recent watches are standing up - I don't service them much anymore since they cut off their parts supply, and I don't tend to follow the brand as closely as I once did when I was active on FOOF...
