As I’m bored, it’s always more fun spending other people's monies and everyone is being far far too sensible, some eclectic suggestions for your consideration :
IWC 2000m aqua timer IW3536 - titanium or steel versions are in budget. https://www.fratellowatches.com/iwc-aquatimer-3536-gst-watch-review/#gref
Panerai 42mm radomirs wear smaller than you think - there’s a world of choice there both new and second hand
Blancpain Ff bathyscape 38mm (prob nearer 6k than 5.5 but if you’re going to push the boat out for a forever piece....) https://www.jomashop.com/blancpain-watch-5100b-1110-b52a.html?utm_medium=cpa&utm_campaign=8172428&utm_source=CJ&cjevent=40fc7108361411eb82b200350a180512&cjdata=MXxZfDB8WXww
JLC Navy Seals Master Compressor - a most awesomely ridiculously over testestorone’d watch - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/jaeger-lecoultre-navy-seals-automatic-watch-review/
The new swanky seikos - sla017 is my favourite. Although id be really worried if I’d bought one of these in the last year or so as they are due a HUGE value drop now you can get EXACTLY the same watch for £3k less (I may be trying to tease @Regal about that last part) https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-seiko-prospex-diver-sla017-based-on-the-first-seiko-diver-6217-from-1965-and-the-prospex-diver-s
Oris 65 diver
Sinn U50 https://www.sinn.de/en/Modell/U50.htm
Bremont s300 models - https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/bremont-supermarine-type-300-301-introducing or the Argonaut. Both available at low and mid £2k. Eg https://www.chisholmhunter.co.uk/watches/swiss-watches/bremont/all.html
