Get the Quartz 15202 with 39mm. Great first rep, available VERY cheap m2m. If this one still floats your boat after a few weeks, think about a 15400. But mind you, it wears a lot bigger than the 2mm would suggest. But if you do so, think of a used v4. Great watch, and good deals can be had nowadays that the v5 (with just minor improvements) is out.

Just got a nice one for EUR 290 shipped. Like new.

And if this one also floats your boat, get a gen dial. They're day and night compared to the rep ones.

Later on let's talk offshore. Then the real crazy begins.

+1 on the quartz, sold my modded 15400 soon as I got the quartz. It's great since the AP isn't a daily wear for me so I don't need to worry about adjusting the time. Super thin too, dial looks great in sunlight. Bracelet is lacking but for under $150 can't expect too much.
