I currently have a black on black with White dial parnis 50mm u boat flight deck homage that I wear every day.

I'm currently looking at the same watch but with a brushed stainless steel case and White face with black dials for some variety. Just wondering if anyone else has any suggestions of a similar style watch for around the same price (£70-£80) I would spend more for something like a TW Steel but I don't like the crown being on the right hand side as I feel it would be uncomfortable and I don't have the kind of money to spend on a U Boat as much as I'd love to get in a couple grands worth of duet to have one on my wrist.

I can't see the value in TW Steele or U-Boat; stick to Parnis, etc. Could try Tauchmeister (claim to be German but Chinese movements/watches).

I have looked at tauchmeisters but I think they look a bit too over sized but may look different in the hand.

Depends on the size; I've tried a 45mm one and it was big but can't be bigger than yours!

I'v had a 45mm submariner but gave it my dad because it felt to small so think I'll stick with the 50mm Patmos unless anything catches my eye
