The short answer
The closest alternative to the Resco BlackFrog Gen2 Dial Custom (C16, DLC) is the Marathon GSAR (Government Search & Rescue) Diver's Automatic ($2,100) — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0425 at $400 (vs $2,155 for the BlackFrog Gen2 Dial Custom (C16, DLC)) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Resco Custom C9: DLC Gen2, Stealth UDT dial is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW200-1) and Pro diver. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co Axial Master Chronometer 42mm ($6,300) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
