Watch to these specs?

Hello all,

I'm looking for a new watch as my current watch has just died.

Given these requirements what would you recommend:

<=35mm diameter (preferably a bit smaller than this I've small wrists)
<=8mm thickness (again slimmer is better)
Stainless case
Date
Automatic or quartz (i.e. maintenance free and good accuracy)
Silver, white or off white face
No numerals on dial just lines (don't know what they're called)
Not really fussed about manufacturer

I like these basic designs:

(not with a black face though - how thick are these)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4922448172
(no date :-( )

Thanks for any advice,

Tom
