On the Hunt
Searching for a no-date quartz diver with a lug to lug under 47mm, screw down crown, at least 200m wr, and less than $600. If anyone has recommendations feel free to share.

It has a 48mm l2l but take a look at the Redwood Tactical Diver V3. I love mine.
Have a look at scurfa

I like the D1 but the lug to lug is too long for my puny wrist. 47 is my personal hard limit
Dan Henry 1975 diver in 37mm is 40mm lug to lug; 39mm is 42mm lug to lug. Both with the Meca-quartz Seiko Japan cal. VH31. 500ft WR. $290 USD.

If you can live with an automatic Seiko Japan cal. NH35, The Dan Henry 1970 diver in 40mm is 45.7mm lug to lug with a screw down crown and 660ft WR. Also at $290, this to me is the better deal!

Skurfa Diver One!!! Look no further. Professional diver street cred. 500 meters. You can get a Ti case with bracelet for a bit over $300. Or steel for less if you like. Amazing watches.

Is the 0.7mm a deal breaker?

They look cool and would definitely get one but my wrist is a full inch smaller than yours. I’m not opposed to large watches but a lug to lug over 47 is my line in the sand. If scurfa ever makes a smaller version I’ll be all over it.
