dive watch with very bright line ideally blue.

This may seem a ridiculous reason to buy a new watch, but I really fancy a new watch and would like one with blue lume, I bought a Seiko skx007 a while ago which I like and makes a nice daily, I generally like dive style watches, must be auto, stainless case ideally. Max budget circa £200 unless its a bit special in which case I would go up to circa 500.That would be max though.

Any ideas?

Yes just a bit, a sub is on my wish list (yes I know it's not a sub), I've got a Breitling and Omega so far, I've got probably 3 or so more watches of "expensive" type I want to get over the next few years, but I'm just after a daily wearer, I could almost sell up all my watches and buy a Sub ironically I would probably only need to put circa a grand or so to, and could cheerfully wear it daily, but since when was watch collecting rational!

What I really want is something similar to my SKX007 but with blue lume, I've been really impressed with it for what it is (and the price) and the lume is pretty good, my other half would think I was insane to be buying a watch because of the colour it lights up at night!

These have a blue glow too http://www.traserwatches.co.uk/

Pre-owned Deep Blue, but you'll definitely need to play in the £500 sandpit after VAT is added – watchuseek is the most likely place to find them up for grabs.

I'm watching this thread with interest. Odd though, as my SKX007 Lume is absolutely useless after 10 mins. So much so in even partial darkness it's very hard to see. It is however, a good few years old and serves as a great workhorse, roughing it under day to day use and also when I go diving during the hols.
I wouldn't ditch it but perhaps would be open to considering something with a decent Lume as a part time replacement, until I manage to get the funds up for the Anniversary Sub, which is hopefully this summer.

Well I'm still no closer to be honest, nothings really floated my boat so far, even looked outside PH and there are other people who seemingly want to buy a watch on Lume alone! But even there nothing really jumped out, the Citizen Orca is very very bright blue lume but it's also not my style.

I love Steinharts, especially the pseudo aged ones, but it's just too much of a replica for me, don't get me wrong I've got a "homage Sub" that I made myself here out of a selection of bits of junk, but that owes me about £15 not £500, ironically it's also the most accurate auto watch I own too.

So I'm torn whether or not to continue my search or go down a different road, which might be a Tissot T Touch, Seiko SKX009 (I want a pepsi Bezel and love the 007, of course the attraction that it's the same watch with different bezel is also a downside because it's the same watch), or something totally different either a vintage Seiko such as a Pogue or Bellmatic or something a bit nerdy.

about 1/2 of these have blue lume and are in budget
