[Question] Watches with Rolex Yachtmaster-style bezels? (alien.top)

The 2023 Rolex Yachtmaster Ref. 226627 is my new grail watch. I love the way the "raised" bezel looks vs. the usual Submariner bezel. But right now, I'm looking for watches with that similar raised bezel to bide my time on the waitlist. (No Seiko mod recommendations please)

Thanks!

EDIT:

So far I've found,

Glycine Combat Aquarius GL0039. This one apparently came out way before 226627. I'd get this one if I can find one.
Oris Divers 65. Not a fan of this one.

My first recommendation if you truly plan to get the Rolex is not to buy an homage in the mean time, you'll never wear it once you get the real deal so you're just flushing money.
If you do, I wouldn't recommend an expensive choice like the Oris. It's an amazing watch on its own, but I have a yachtmaster 40 and I could never see myself wearing the Aquis over it, even though it's gorgeous on its own. I would recommend the Seiko mods that are specifically built to look like a yachtmaster, it's only a few hundred bucks so really you can't lose much when you sell once you get the call.
Something like this you can buy already built for you, or for about his the price you can buy from Ali Express.
