[Question] Looking for a domed toolish watch with a vintage feel (alien.top)

Hi,

I'm in the market for a new watch!
I'm currently wearing a Seiko SRPG35K1 which has some cool distortion from certain angles.. only it's too small. I'm a little brawny and it makes it look like a toy watch. I've been looking at the spb143 which I totally love the look of only it only has a little more presence than the SRPG35K1 and I find it too small.

So I'm looking for toolish watch, not too shiny with a domed crystal with some cool distortion and a bit of a vintage feel. Around 42mm that has some good wrist presence. I came across this citizen with a very cool domed crystal which I totally love (see picture) but I haven't seen much in this style.

Can anyone recommend something?

Sounds like you need a Vostok. Vintage designs, cool distortion from acrylic crystal, and tough as hell.

Finishing is not top notch, but the value proposition of an in house movement and iconic designs for less than $100 is too good.

Scuba dude with the 120 case looks most similar to the pic.
