If that was automatic, I’d be sold.
The other GMT’s from them are just too big at 44mm.
I remember when these were in touch of modern. Damn me for not jumping on one.

Topper has discounted some of the watches in their Pre-Owned Select. Poke around as there could be some good deals to be found.

Link to everything - https://topperjewelers.com/collections/ ... ned-select

Two that jumped out to me:

Tag Heuer Aquaracer, model # WAF2111.BA0806
Sale price is $799
10% off with code 10OFF is $719.10
Regularly priced at $1,099
List price is $1,800
Condition is - This watch features a 38mm case and 300m of water resistance. The watch head is in 90% condition due to trace marks on the bezel and throughout the case. The aftermarket (Seiko) strap is in 95% condition due to minor wear and creasing. This watch comes with its inner and outer box, instruction manual, and the one-year Topper Pre-Owned Select warranty.

No kidding, one of the very few deals that I regret missing over the last few years. I know it will be too big but hope that it wears smaller than I think.

I’ve been looking for a new blue diver for a while now.

I'm no diver but here's the most detailed explanation I've found (and likely more than you bargained for!) ;)

The bezel has a no-decompression time scale. The inscription on the bezel chosen by Eterna, like the dial design, has a historical reference to the Eterna Matic Super-KonTiki from the early 1960s and corresponds to the "Non Decompression Tableau" of the Marine Nationale Française, which in turn corresponds to the "No Decompression Table" of the US Navy, except for the different measurements. Owners of Doxa Sub 300T and 1500T diving watches know the table from the bezels of their watches, but the values there are given in feet and here, at the Eterna, in meters.

The function of the bezel was described in the manual of the Eterna Matic Super-KonTiki Reference 130 IPT from the early '60s as follows:

"And the ring on the 'Super KonTiki' makes it easier for us to control the dive time. Example: A diver goes 20 m below the sea surface. He reads this depth on his separate depth gauge. The diver now sets the green triangle on the moving glass edge exactly on the tip of the minute hand. He can now remain at this depth until the minute hand reaches the number 20 visible on the ring, which corresponds to about 50 minutes. Of course, the diver must constantly monitor his air reserve using the separate pressure gauge. The classification of the rotating ring of the 'Super-KonTiki' is based on the tables published in the book 'La Plongée' by the 'Marine Nationale Française'."

Looking for GMT deals I stumbled across Linjer. Swiss quartz, very attractive and well priced. Ronda movement, A/R sapphire crystal, 41mm x 9.35mm. $165 incl. free international shipping. $185 on bracelet.

UPDATE to add a mini-review by Zipties:
Zipties wrote: Wed Dec 16, 2020 11:44 pm I picked one of these up, nice enough but didn’t impress me. There’s one on ebay now for $45+10, no bids. I could be convinced to flip mine as well.
