![Is It Worth $178? Seestern Midsize 62MAS Homage Watch [Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NUWnscnqYhA/mqdefault.jpg)
At 42 mm and 15.6 mm, this is more like the 62 Mucho Mas!
I like it, maybe they should call it that! The fat mass
Hahahaha. Oh man. I'm dying.😂
I have a feeling I'm gonna watch this video several times !!
Great looking watch from Steeldive ( again ) Another good review. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for your recognition of our Steeldive Watch. We are committed to producing high-quality dive watches.
U guys should consider making a 38mm version with grey sunburst dial. A stainless steel bracelet option would make it complete
Send me an email please Tenber

The Watcher will there be a smaller version? This is the watch I was waiting for but wanted 40mm! Guess I can’t have everything.
@@dharmensoneji3360 not too sure, let me speak with SteelDive. This is a lengthy process. The cases need to be designed and manufactured but before this the cost vs benefits ratio needs to be assessed. I.e is it worth it? I've already addressed the thickness , but they can only look at it at the next batch. Until then il get some recommendations ready
Great review, keep up the good work.
Looks like a well built watch as always! They're always a reasonable price too!
Looks like there is a new favourite here😂. Really a great reveal sir, they have seriously done a good job, and a great review as always🔥
And it's a thicc thicc boi🔥😂
Lovely watch, but that thickness tho! Tuna dimensions there
Very thick, the watch has a thicc back no doubt. Deffo tuna/MM dims there
@@TheWatcherReviews too much cushion for me bro
Yo my man you got that thing FAST. Thumbs up
Bought this one and LOVE it! I immediately changed the strap to a waffle-design rubber strap though and don't find the thickness a problem at all. It fits great on my 6.5" wrist due to the short lugs and it's seeing frequent wrist time.
Nice looking watch, good to see drilled lugs.
Was very pleasantly surprised to see this go up on Ali express just a couple of days ago
My contact from steeldive let me know they were making one a few weeks back, imagine me holding that in for so long!
I for one quite like the size proportions. I'd still be inclined to get something closer to the original 62mas proportions, but I think it's a decent 1st version.
I saw this watch last week online but the pictures made it look a bit weird, but seen it on video it looks pretty good to me, I'm definitely going to get one on the future
I knew beforehand a Steeldive 62 is coming and was hoping their version would be an 38mm, sticking more to the original. But they went to make everything bigger, thicker and chunkier than the other 62mas homages.
Was a bit disappointed when I saw that watch popping up in the online store last week, so i did an impulse buy on another colour variant of a seagull 63 pilot chronograph to feed my needs. And another chronograph I need as much as another diver.
I love it!! Yeah for the big wrists 🙌🏾
I like the look of it - purely as a dive watch homage it ticks a lot of boxes - quite like the chunky case and drilled lugs
Enjoyed the video, I’m really impressed with Steeldive , the offer an excellent quality product. My sweet spot is 40 mm so will have to see if the 42mm of this model works for me. I love the look of it though.. I think Steeldive have done a great job .
I usually prefer 40 mm as well but lug to lug is more important in my opinion. I rather have a watch that is 42 mm with a 48 mm lug to lug over a watch that is 40 mm with a 51 lug to lug.
Just to say, the San Martin version is 40 mm.. and gorgeous..
Gorgeous
Yes please the comparison! That video is gonna be a hit I bet. Thanks bro for this review. Would you recommend people to buy one though?
If you like the 62mas, I prefer the 62mas heimdallr personally. Looks way better. I have an old vid on one that I reviewed when I first started my channel. Check it out.
The build of the watch is good and it feels nice too. Its just the thickness for me
They should stick to the San Martin or Heimdallr homages proportions. That's an alarm clock size.
I would probably buy this if I didn’t already have a SD1952, which is my favourite SD. But this one looks fantastic too
Reminds me a lot of the Fifty-Four 62MAS
Now you have me interested in 62mas! 😃
Check out the comparisons with the heimdallr and san martin!
@@TheWatcherReviews which do you prefer?
@@stevepodraza6363 at the moment I prefer the heimdallr in terms of the looks and san martin's bracelet. But there maybe a new favourite soon
Wish they would make a 38mm version
Nice to see steeldive getting in on this. I suppose it’s large comparatively...but not too bad. I’m more picky on lug distance anymore....bought too many now that were a little long in the lug. I’m actually good with a thick watch now though, zelos and helm made me like em thicc..😂
I saw you zelos watches, i would like yo get one. Not sold on some of the helm colour dial combos but they are built well
Would that be a good one to mod with a seiko 62mas dial? Thank you
Any bracelets that go with the steeldive 62mas?
Random thought
The 62 MAS would look pretty good in all-orange (Orange dial & Orange Bezel Insert)
Maybe...interesting idea
how is it different from the SD1953, the cyclops?
So the question is the San Martin or this one??
The San Martin is 40mm... It is gorgeous..
I wonder why it is so thick. The movement not even 6mm thick. what are they doing with the other 8mm?
The box shape top hat sapphire and double thick bezel
Because the one who builds these watches will never wear them. It's just yo put sth new to the shop. The next one will be 41 mm and 14 mm thick with the blue dial version. In 2 months during n 11/11 sale this black version you'll get for £90.
Hi buddy!
Which one would you pick as your first automatic watch and your daily watch, the SD1970 or this one? Why?
Daily, I would switch from the rubber to the steel strap, all depending on my outfit. I'm pretty active, and I want my watch to move with me; comfortability is a big thing for me.
Btw I have a 17cm width wrist, so I wouldn't want a watch to look too big on my skinny wrist...
Have a good one!
Damn its a tough question, sd1970 is a good start as a daily and a goos 1st auto and it will fit a smaller wrist
@@TheWatcherReviews Thanks for the quick response pal.
Do you think the SD1970 fits skinnier wrists better than the SD1962?
Have a nice day!
@@manuelavendano3891 yes much better, the 1962 is very thick in comparison
@@TheWatcherReviews Thanks buddy!
Thanks for this review once again ! Since you have already reviewed quite a few Steeldive models, which one do you think is the best value for money in all their lineup ?
Tough one Sylvain. Depends on your favourite style of watch. Alot of the models are good for value but they do have issues. The SD1971/1970 are good and solid and the tuna is nice too
The Watcher thanks for your answer ! I was leaning towards the SD1970 or SD1996, no bad choices I guess... The only thing is, I saw some models with manufacturing flaws (bent crown stem is the first coming to my mind) and I would like to avoid these models. Anyway, I just saw your new video about the SD1975 and I am now even more confused about which one to get... 😂
Is there a possibility to mod with a Seiko dial?
Yes there absolutely is
@@TheWatcherReviews please. Could you link us where to find it?? Thanks and congrats for your very interesting channel 👍👍👍👍
The link to the dials is within the video description
Too big for my wrist, content with my Heimdallr version.
Original 62mas was 37.5mm
This is a chunky monkey 🙁
San Martin does it at 40mm and 13mm thick.
I would like to see someone make a 62mas homage with those same specs as original
Too big for me and I have big wrists. I think 38mm would have been right for this style.
Well after seeing the review good enough i have something bothering me... at a first glance I find the style is very close to the 6105 homage just a more round case shape ... I think if they went for a grey dial with the sunburst effect and a different bezel insert style then it would make it a close homage to the original ... That would make it more distinguished if that's make any sense... concerning the bezel action i think it's just a game of luck with steeldive .
Its very different to the 6105. I think tje thickness of the case makes it seem otherwise 🤔
I agree with the other points, but this is their interpretation, san martin/heimdallr have done a good job getting close to the original but they are all far away from the original specs. Im working on a comparison video between the steeldive and heimdallr 62mas and then compare specs to the original.
I agree with most of your points though bro
@@TheWatcherReviews what i meant by similar is the color of the dial and the bezel insert ... What i wish to find in a 65 mas homage is something different... something new that can grab your attention instantly and not taking time looking for that small difference ... Obviously there's less similarities with the 6105 ... And for that comparison vid i truly can't wait bro !!!
Both the SD1962 & SD1970 are offered with different colored dials & bezels, including the massively luminous Kagawa wave dial. I thought the same as you and considered getting green, but I REALLY like the way the black dial plays with the heavy blue AR coating, evoking a sort of oil on water effect.
I love this style, but I HATE the Steeldive logo. Lose the logo and move the name up a bit and it would be SO much better.
Do you reckon? Perhaps STEELDIVE across the dial?
