The short answer

The closest alternative to the Grand Seiko SLGB023 is the Grand Seiko SLGA015 ($12,600) — same family (Evolution 9) and Pro diver. If price is the constraint, the Seiko Prospex Sea at $1,100 (vs $12,400 for the SLGB023) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical.
