If its an opinion you want, I can help you out. (Not knowing what your individual tastes are). The following are two of my favorites: I own both and are definately worth the $$

IWI Marine Diver about $300


Tissot Seastar1000 Silver about $375ish

The Tissot Seastar automatic is a great choice. I love mine and have the same dial color that HockeyWhino has. If you can get past the Altanus name, they make a couple of really stunning dials.

Yes, the Tissot Seastar 1000 is great........I also have one (brilliant blue dial).  Beware, however, that the Seastar 1000 and the Seastar 600 look very much alike (the "600" is smaller), but the is a huge difference.  The "1000" is an ETA automatic while the "600" is a Quartz movement.
