    Got one. Love it. A decently made, fun watch with a classic look. Personally, I have no interest in dropping thousands on mass produced 'luxury' watches with sky high margins and all the associated hype. Addiesdive is doing great work IMHO, with the sole exception of the logo and lettering which are plain out of place for some of its watches.

    Ive noticed a lot of Chinese brands like this one have upped their game and i noticed their quality control has improved while Seiko upps their prices, can't make their seconds hit the mark often can't get the bezel aligned and cant be bothered changing to sapphire.

    Received one from Ali's Spring sale. Beautiful watch ; I chose to wear it on a Milanese mesh bracelet, which adds to the vintage aesthetics. More subdued than the bracelet, more practical than a leather strap to go swimming, and less anachronistic than a rubber band.

    Just bought this 10 minutes ago. Can’t wait to see it in person. Looks amazing.
    Great review as always. Thank you! 🙏

    I received mine three days ago. I think Addiesdive nailed this one. It's a very well integrated design, and the build quality is flawless. I'm not a fan of bracelets so I ordered mine on the strap. It's a fine strap, albeit a bit "floppy". The lack of rigidity, combined with the rough texture of the suede makes it very hard to slide the end under the keepers. I changed it out for a dark brown, vintage style rally strap which looks amazing!

      Has the bracelet Sharp Edges?

    Soooo close... A black date wheel with "vintage" color numbers would have been perfection. I am probably still getting it when back on sale.

    I bought one as summer watch, i must say it looks pretty nice and works well. Also tried in the pool and no prob at all

    Very good looking watch indeed but I am happily sticking to my "No More Inaccurate Auto Watches!!!" vow.
    Maybe they will do a quartz version one day.

    I've been avoiding divers as it seems a bit over loved to me but for $103AUD i couldn't resist. Is a strap monster i think and having decent lume was a major factor. I purchased via your link.

    A very nice Watch. I used your link and my purchase arrived today. £52 for a 200m vintage look dive watch on a bracelet is amazing. Your review is spot on how i have found this watch so far. The bezel alignment is perfect as is it's action on my example. I cannot fault this watch for the price even the bracelet fits my wrist well with 2 links removed. The seiko NH35 movement should hopefully be reliable.

    I got this on sale. It's the cheapest watch I have yet I can't stop wearing it. It looks great on a 2 piece nylon strap. Love it.

    Great review. One feature that I don’t think you covered was are the hands polished silver or gilt finish? They look silver in some shots but gilt in others… think it’s the aged lume tricking my eyes

    I'm just waiting for this one to go on sale again before buying. Surely it's an homage to the Oris 65 though, not just a mix of Rolex/Seiko/Omega?

    They're about $30 NZ now which tells you they've been jacking up the price I think for perception management.

    Do you think this is just a standard 28.5 mm dial?

    If this was with a brushed bracelet with a female end links, it would’ve been in my shopping basket by now

  • @stefpix
    @stefpix Před 10 měsíci +1

    Make the bracelet all brushed, bezel insert and indices all white or light grey, make the crystal flat, remove the logo and it would look great.
    Domed crystals and polished links on inexpensive watches try to give a premium look, but they tend to look cheap. It backfires.

      The customer is always right in matters of taste - that's why I disagree with you. The points that you critizise are the things I love about this model. Let's agree to disagree. :)

      Yes, it is an updated version in the video. Available at the link in the description on AliExpress.
