@Manray yes, it's a Maranez Vintage Samui. I bought the red dial model as it has red depth markings like blacklungs had (not orange). Its an older steel case (titanium on the site for sale now). The handset are the Maranez set. Sent to @manodeoro who relumes them to match the lume colour he uses on his blacklung dial.

Getting To Know The Place
Finally everything is together. I just have to show the finished Sub 300T , it turned out so incredibly well.
Manodeoro did a fantastic job, thank you very much

I'm not really sure which version Maranez but its a steel version (not available on their official site anymore - titanium now) bought back in 2022.
My 600T is a Seestern

Btw guys, there is currently a 20% discount on the Maranez site for the Dragon Boat Festival
Just bought a Vintage Samui Black
Full price hurts a bit for the watch you are getting but 20% off helps. NOROLL on checkout saves you another $50 too (ie no watch roll)

I have no doubt your efforts will far surpass the good Drs below although he has made a creditable 1st effort
Oh, and may I please bags the first orange one that comes out of your workshop

Thought I'd throw in an update here. Almost finished a new Cussler watcxh. It will be a raffle prize at the next Cussler convention. I called it a DOCSA as I really wanted to make it a legit watch from me rather than a rep and named it the Cliver which is an injoke amongst Cussler fans as some Raise the Titanic covers mis-spelt his name as Cliver Cussler. Trying to make the dial orange but retain a kind of washed out old look was a complete pain in the A to try to get right. Just waiting on the caseback to be engraved DOCSA CLIVER and it will be off to the convention admins.
Its based on a Seestern. I polished the bezel, removed the branding from the caseback, crown and clasp and polished the caseback and crown as well.
The dial is a Seiko branded dial from AliExpres. The guys who made it don't seem to be selling them at the minute. They started with one that has Cliove Cussler in red on it. You can see it in the pic above of the 4 watches. I just removed Seiko and used dry apply lettering to add DOXA. Trying to make that dial orange obliterated the red Clive Cussler lettering. then they made a sterile version which is what I used for the cliver. Even with the lightest orange paint, the dial still turned out more red than I wanted. I used a gloss finish the make sure the letters stayed adhered to the dial.
