 Or perhaps a Swiss/German rugged diver for less? Especially forgiving the abuse of a restaurant kitchen. I present the Jacques Etoile Plongeur:

Granted, it doesn't have the machined bezel, brushed steel "German" look of their newer model. But at one third the cost it's a good deal. Here's the $1700+ that replaced it on their line:

Finally, the Stowa Prodiver you seem to favor is a WIS grail watch. If that's really in your budget to beat on it at work; Get it. I want one too.
