Thinking of adding to my collection

[Y7TSY]

Looking for a bit of advice on some new purchases,

Been thinking of expanding my collection recently as I am wanting a new watch to wear while working offshore and a secon d watch thats a bit out of the ordinary and rare and exotic, I currently have two seikos I wear when I am offshore but starting to want a change from the usual seikos. And none of my two are monsters by the way(something I havnt got round to buying yet but its on the list of things to get ha) In my collection I currently have:
Seiko quartz and an automatic, they are nothing special just simple everyday pieces.
Breitling super ocean heritage
Panerai lum base
Vintage 60's omega seamaster that i am starting to restore.

So I am looking for something that is very heavy duty that can deal with heavy knocks and exposure to salt air, and getting dipped in the bilges of a ship every so often.
And a watch that is a bit out of the ordinary, something second hand and pretty rare. Looked at breitling bentley watches and a few rare older omegas but these are pretty similair to whats already in my collection so anyone got any suggestions for something second hand under the £1500 mark?

I have been looking at a few possibilities like the obvious Seiko monster, and Oris divers watch but not really looked into the quality of Oris or ever spoken to anyone that has owned one. So would be a good help to get any suggestions from anyone on here on what to look into. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Here is a picture of my breitling SOH, will upload a few of the rest of my collection, but dont have any on my laptop now.

Also I am going to look at another breitling soon, its a Bentley GT 2008 model. Does anyone know a rough price for these models? as I have never seen one similair to this for sale. At first I thought it was not authentic as I have never seen a geniune model with the veiwing space in the face where you can see the movement. I have only seen this in replica models. But then I looked into the sale and it comes with all papers etc so aslong as the papers are geniune and they match the serial number on the watch I think iw ill go for it if I can get it at a good price. Here is a picture of it:

Anyone recognise this model? cheers Kyle

Don't think I've seen a GT for less than two & a half bags, can't see your pic from here, is it like this?

Personally if I knew there was likely to be exposure to salt water etc, I'd spend about 1/2 or 1/3 of your budget-

Steinhart 100 ATM- they are chunky, rare, and glow like nothing else: http://www.steinhartwatches.de/de/TRITON-100-ATM-b...

Nav-B Chrono 2: http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/Nav-B-Chrono-II-...

If that's not enough cash and you're set on another Breitling, spend more and get an Emergency.

Thanks dom I did think it was a fake, but with all the paperwork etc I was going to go check it out. So thanks for saving me a wasted journey.

And ds3r it's not going to be in salt water as such, well hopefully not. I work on a standby and support vessels for the rigs up near Aberdeen. So the salt air can Cling on to things on the deck, so basically just don't want anything to fragile for obvious reasons. And I am now struggling to see past a monster, I suppose it is the logical choice. And as you said it would be best spending less, and it would leave more of a budget for my second purchase! I'm going to take a look through your links now cheers.

A quick left field suggestion before I head to a meeting, but this is pretty rugged and you're unlikely to see another in the wild ... UTS Diver 1000 V2?
