So I fancied a diver and started checking out Seiko on ebay. They have made some well cool watches of various types.
Is there any other manufacturer that has done similar at affordable prices say <£100? I CBA sifting through all of the watches up for sale.
Possibly Citizen or Accurist. Affordable is relative, the better quality Seiko divers tend to be in the £250-600 range, like the SPORK, Baby Tuna, Tuna or Monsters.
There's this one: http://www.skywatchdealers.com/low_prices/srp227j1-srp227j-srp227-seiko-5-automatic-sports-watch.htm
Here's a pretty comprehensive list of all the Seiko divers, giving movement specs, etc. this should give you much better idea as to what's what, and also give you some idea of what's comparable. There's lots out there, it's certainly confusing.

Ta, I'm not really into movements etc, it's just the look and having sufficient accuracy and reliability.
Here's one I like. I'll look at Accurist and Certina - I have one of the latter that was my pop's!

I've developed a problem on collecting old rado watches. You can get a few under £100. They are reliable and a little but different. Not everyone's cup of tea but I've picked up some cool old ones

I have one or maybe even 2 that are just gathering dust. Nothing special but if you're interested I can send a couple of pics.
