I was going to suggest the Tudor Hydronaut too.
Nice one here but at the top end of your budget

Junghans max bill?
Or Omega De Ville
Alsals is a nice watch shop but not 100% on their selection

I've ordered my Poljot Sturmanskie Civil. Paid more than I'd have liked to, but there don't seem to be any 2nd hand and I couldn't find any other mechanical watches that I liked anywhere near as much. I'm all excited now!

Only thing I don't really like about hydronauts is the bezel markings between 12 and 3. Otherwise they are quite elegant, the bigger sizes too.
Yes, one thing I like about my (men's size) one is that it still fits under a shirt cuff, unlike most other dive watches, and looks reasonably understated.

@coppiThat (I can't seem to figure out how to quote on the new forum), that Omega listed on ebay has a movement that dates to early 1940's. Not sure how that case dates, although I initially thought 1960s! Shame about the missing baton at 12 o'clock. I think I would pass.

The date... Damn...

Possibly somebody here will be able to help a little... My dad's mechanical watch has been up in the loft of my family home since roughly the mid 90's. Recently I rediscovered it and thought it would be nice to wear it. After looking at the watch it didn't appear to work, even after winding it up, nothing. A week ago I dropped it off at a watch specialist and today I collected it; now it works like a charm. The guy seemed enthusiastic to see the watch and thought the amount I paid to get it repaired was well worth it, maybe unsurprising eh. My mum recalls how she bought it originally for their 5th wedding anniversary, but can anyone date the watch or suggest a rough value? Just like on Antiques Roadshow it's more about the sentimental value, but curious nonetheless. Thanks.

rodabod, omega on the bay- still looks attractive. the case styling could easily be ahead of its time. he does state 1940's in the description.
i would be concerned if the missing baton wasnt inside as that would say that its been opened up and who knows what done to it. that said he doesnt appear to be new on the block and has sold some nice watches if you click completed (the midi sized tudor has been a boomerang though). -
£75-100 - there's one on eBay that ends tomorrow
