Help with watch ID

[jdkno]

Saw it on a guys wrist in the wild couldn't get a pic so all I have is a description. Was hoping maybe someone could she'd some light.

Looked like a submariner homage however from every angle I saw it appeared to have pretty damn good AR. Black shiny bezel with the numbering like a sub. Black Dial with the older rolex style markers meaning no metal ring around them. Right below the 12 marker instead of the rolex symbol it had what appeared to be a red "8" or possibly an "S" with writing though the middle that made it look like an s as the writing closed off the open ends. Oyster style bracelet but a butterfly clasp vs a standard clasp. I tried searching for the red 8 or S symbol but am coming up dry.

Jeez sorry mate Think its gonna be hard why didnt you ask The man what watch it was ?

[jdkno]

Lol I thought about asking but didn't.

Steinhart Mil-sub homage, maybe?

[508-Fanatic]

Probably a Steinhart...

[lhooq]

Third vote for a Steinhart Ocean One.

Steinhart was my first guess too but no that is not it. The red S or 8 that was on the dial was pretty big. If you look at a rolex sub it went from the top of the cornet all the way down probably halfway between where the hand stack is and where it says oyster perpetual.

Ok ok, joking

This is used in Naples to avoid be robbed: it's pure transparent plastic

Sandoz Submariner?

[Resistor]

OWC?

[jdkno]

Resistor. You rock!!!!! That's it. The red circle looked like an S or 8 to me lol.

[Resistor]

Sweet! I think those are not very expensive, but I'm not sure about current availability. You may need to use WatchRecon to see when one comes up for sale.

I think they are in the $500-$600 range from what I have been able to find.

The pictures I have been finding really have me itching to find one. Some of them even have lume ceramic bezels like a fifty fathom.
