Suggestions for small(er) cushion cased diver

Post by Cowboy » Wed Oct 16, 2019 8:54 am

Looking for suggestions for a cushion cased (preferably 3 oclock crown) diver; something along the lines of the original Eterna Super Kontiki diver or the follow up IDF. It needs to be 46mm or less lug to lug (not thinking an SKX type, but thanks ahead if that's the recommendation). I appreciate the input and suggestions.

Truthfully. I just handle a Aevig Huldra watch recently and it was super sweet for the price.

What about the one they call “Baby Turtle”? Ben had one and I am sure it’s smaller than the SRP models.

I forgot about that one. It is smaller for sure and they are actually a little better finished imo.

That’s a very nice watch. The Nodus Avalon also looks great, but I’m not sure if it as small as you are looking for.

If I recall the Nodus seemed to wear bigger than the SRP. It is a sweet watch though and finished really good.

The one Ben owned had genuine MM300 hands and it looked fantastic. I regret not buying when he flipped it.

Bulova did a remake of the snorkel with a cushion case not to big.

Good suggestion Mike. They were recently on sale to something like $450 also.

Pantor Sea Lion is also the size of an SKX.

Here you go there are two. I like the orange dial one due to the case size like the original about 40mm and cooler hands but cost more the one with black dial got a bigger case bigger than the original but at a better price. About the best price on the net for ether watch.
