Budget yellow dial divers style watch

[Doink]

As per title, i'm after a watch for work that i'm not bothered about bashing around, i have a Breitling B1 i bought new in 2000 but don't wear it much now, needs a battery and a service but as a service engineer and always putting my arms and hands in tight places i don't want to wreck the Breitling so i'm after a 'works' watch, so have you guys got any links to any retailers?

The trouble is i have thick wrists so the usual shop watches don't fit, my wrists are 24cm around, when i bought the Breitling i had extra links put in. The watch itself looks tiny on my wrists too, even tried a super avenger on the other day and the chap at goldsmiths was gobsmacked on how small even that looked.

I need a chuncky watch hence a divers style maybe pilots watch, yellow dial, black or steel.

Any ideas or pointers?

If you can live with orange dial instead of yellow how about a seiko monster orange

Sekonda do a couple if you're after something cheap (around £50).

This one's actually quite nice, with a bumble bee gold face (it never shows well in photos) and is quite large. I have one but rarely wear it because it's a bit too big for my taste.

The few times I have worn it, it's attracted comments on what a nice watch it is, although people usually lose interest when I say it's a Sekonda

Jeez, Werner's & Tauchmeister - a few years back folk on here were going ga-ga for them!

I have one of these. Supposed to be scratch proof, bomb proof, run over with a truck proof, dropped of a 10 storey building proof.........you get the message. I wear it where I don't have to worry about getting any other watch damaged . Working on the car, fishing, gardening, diy.....again you get the picture. http://www.watches2u.com/watches/ballistic/bwv407-...

I got a few watches from Nick!

I had one similar to that black I posted, but in Stainless.
Auto, 500feet water resistant with rubber strap.

Put a Nato on it and an elderly lady I know (75), complaining her husband had bought her a cardigan for Xmas, but saying she had wanted a watch, looked at mine and said "That is a nice Watch, easy to see"!

Well what could I do other than give it to her straight off my wrist!
She still wears it!

Was rather nice and a little different too. They do a black strap version too if you want to tone it down a tad.

Luminox watches do some yellow face diver style.

Seiko and Orient both make a yellow faced diver.
