£100 to blow, which to go for.
Discussion
Pretty much as it says in the title. It's the end of the month and I have about £100 to spend on a watch. At the moment I am torn between these two equally but I'm struggling to decide so would appreciate opinions. I know that are the same watch with different styles so completely down to opinion.

More than happy to look at other suggestions but pretty set on going for a large divers watch with an automatic movement.
Oh, I would be putting a NATO on the SNZJ21.

Out of the two I'd go for the latter, but ultimately I wouldn't go for either. Up your budget just a little bit more and you have the SKX007 or the SKX779. The 007 link is the one for a rubber strap and is the cheaper K suffixed model, don't buy the J model as there's no difference between the watches. The 779 I've linked has one of the best bracelets for the £ anywhere so you may as well pay the extra over the rubber, and NATOs would look better on either than the two you've looked at, the 007 especially.
Have a look through the "I want a Monster" thread for the 779 and only a few pics back on the "Wristcheck" thread for LukeBird's pic of a 007.

Thanks for the opinions, and thanks Card Shark for taking the time to suggest a couple of other options. I've looked at them but don't like them quite as much. I'll never take them any deeper than the swimming pool so the extra water resistance doesn't really matter to me.
I think I will go with the black and orange one as it is nothing like any of the watches I currently own. Thanks again for the thoughts, I'll be sure to post a pic up on the wrist check thread soon.

I just received this NEO Monster for my 30th and it's an absolute beauty!

I have also popped a NATO onto it and just couldn't be happier with it.

I did look at that one actually and had a slight waver about it when I made the order. Any chance of putting a picture up with NATO strap?http://www.creationwatches.com/products/seiko-dive...

I spotted this site at the weekend. Might be worth a look.
I don't know them, but I was pleased to see they were local(ish) to me:

The next big thread title "photos of my watch and my desk while eating a sandwich" 
Thanks for posting that up. Creation doesn't show what the strap width is for these watched. Will 22mm be about right? I've found this which I hope wil complete the look.

Mines a 20mm and fits perfectly.
