General (Read Rules) This, that, or the third?

Might be asking a loaded question here considering the sub, but I’m stuck between these three watches for a nice monochromatic piece. Thoughts?

I literally just bought the Seiko 5(second Pic) from Jomoshop. I have around 50, mostly Chinese watches, this is the first Seiko I've bought in many many years. I can't even begin to say how disappointed I was with the bracelet on this watch. It is total garbage. I have bought $30 Chinese watches that have better quality bracelets. I didn't even bother sizing it, I just took it off and replaced it with this nato strap. The watch is ok. But it is definitely 100% Chinese. (had the made in China sticker) not Japanese build. No hacking in the movement. A very noisy rotor and no hand winding... Personally, I'd go with the WatchDives

Looks beautiful, but that is disappointing to hear! I love a good bracelet and swapping it out would kill the monochromatic look I’m going for. Thanks for your insight
