Hey guys i have been doing some research and found out that the regmariner is a favorite on the forums, i am close to pulling the trigger but havent decided between it and a vintage sub from in time on a nato. Then this morning i came across a prohunter sub from silix with ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal for less then a regmariner and was curious as to which would be the best choice to make. Here are the links below.

Thank you all in advance

I wouldn't recommend you a vintage if you don't plan to mod it. From my point of view it will be better to stick to the modern ones

The Silix will be crap.

The others, one's a 6538, the other is a ceramic Sub - completely different watches.

Making a decision off price alone is never a good idea.

I was curious if the silix would be crap. I planned on eventually making the 6538 bond esque and found the original nylon strap as in goldfinger that i wanted to throw on it, but ive been torn on that one or just a modern subc. I have been coming to the conclusion for the price range i want to be in the regmariner is probably the best option (for a ceramic sub). The silix looked nice on pictures but i knew that wouldn't be enough to be certain it will be a good watch in real life.
