I am looking to purchase my first diver and I ended with with these two, I really don't care if they are homages or look-alikes, just like them, (also any new entry is welcome), I have a wrist size of 6.1', so I don't think I can pull out more than 40mm, I love the simplistic look of the steinhart, the lettering in the dial with no logo, and the Pepsi bezel and jubilee just look amazing, but the aluminum bezel kind of puts me off, since the squale for the same price gives you a ceramic, I've seen videos and reviews that say that the case of the squale is superior, better details, and I haven't been able to see some real close up high quality photos to actually see it, but from those reviews most of them say that squale gives you a little bit more for the same price, any one has both of them to do an unbiased recommendation or has had both and sold one of them?, any help would be greatly appreciated.

As in the title- I'd like to go in the direction of a 'micro'-brand, Swiss made, Submariner style, dive watch. Budget is about $500. I do favor a date function, but could probably go either way as far as a cyclops versus plain, flat or domed, crystal.
At present, I am favoring getting a Steinhart- Ocean 1 Black, versus Ocean 1 Vintage Red.
Have also looked at Squale- ie, 20 ATMOS Classic - 1545 - SEL Bracelet, or 20 ATMOS MAXI - 1545 - SEL Bracelet.
Previously, for several years, have also been considering Ollech & Wajs M-4 submariner style:
Ollech & Wajs UDT style with DATE 200 m diver
FWIW, I have a skinny wrist ~ 7-3/8', but that's less of a consideration for me than quality/workmanship. Any others in this price range I should consider? So, help a brother out- what says the hive?
UPDATE: Squale 1545 MAXI arrived- VERY pleased. Not bad for a 'beater'! Thanks for your help.
