You're suffering from research-itis. Everyone has an opinion and they're entitled to it. If you choose to believe them, then do so. If you trust the work that's been put into the guide, then believe that. Then own the responsibility of choosing a TD and then make sure everything is in order (not perfect all the time). Most of the returns are because of unrealistic expectations. The sooner you accept that these are reps and not gens and will be only 99.99999999%, the happier you become with your watch purchase. But in the end, you make the decision to purchase what watch.
Most submersibles come with a date option, and there are models identified as super reps if you really read the gazillion page guide.
