The short answer

The closest alternative to the Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Starby SUB is the Audaz ADZ-3040 ($550) — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Aigi Watches BARENTS SEA AUTOMATIC round dive watch 43mm, applied markers + date + dive bezel at $180 (vs $458 for the Daibāzu: Starby SUB) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Cookie Monster SUB is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Seiko NH35) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Seiko 62MAS ($1,200) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
