How about this one? it doesn't look like the BCPD but has the function and I know you don't like dive watches but this seems to be an original design as opposed to a homage.

That's a big no on a dive bezel.

I get what you mean, it would be nice to have that... But they are still good looking pieces despite that I think.

Ochstin dress watch on a Vario strap. Ironically the strap cost about the same as the watch itself [emoji38]

That's a good looking watch.
(Of course it would look better without a date...)

You can't really complain too much for the price though. They are practically giving it away.
