- In this video I'll be doing a full review of an awesome diver from Heimdallr, the Sharkey 62MAS homages an icon in the Seiko line-up released in 1965.
Is this the best diver watch under 150 $ ?
Thanks and enjoy!

Had this with a Tuna, and contacted Heimdallr. Some of their watches they reclassified the water resistance. Mine is the other way around, 200m on the dial, 300m on the back. I have just ordered the 62 MAS bronze. I have been a collector for some years and these watches are absolutely fantastic
I agree.. I have a 4th one on the way! The SKX , I believe that's the one that Seiko should've made! Thanks for the comment!
How long are the Heimdallrs lasting?
@@brandoGTR48 I have three, and they wear very well. They are well constructed and use Seiko movements, so there is no reason why they shouldn't last

Just to clarify. Someone already mentioned that the Heimdallr watch company did in fact correct the dial & caseback discrepancy. But in doing so they also improved a couple other things - 1. They added better printing on the dial - 2.The signed crown and the caseback have better looking laser'ed Shark's - 3. It's now presented in a useful padded mini Plano style case❗ - Useful for 'Smashing/SQUISHING' a curve into your stiff watch bands. - Got my three from Ebay; this watch is dynamite & so much better than I expected !

Great video and channel content George. I subscribed buddy
I like Heimdallr Sharkey watches.
These are why i likes.............
I just got SEIKO SKX 007J1 last month, (pay $300; Feb 2020 from jomashop) and i really love that design(don't like submariner type).
and i was thinking to get another skx009, but i don't want pay another $300. cuz i have sky 007.
i searched and found few SKX like watches company(most of Chinese company)....
1. skx same (98% more) design(also name is SKX007)
2. upgraded movement ( Seiko SII NH36A Automatic Movement). mean, you can put this movement to your skx.
3. it come with Ceramic black Bezel(no pepsi). also can use my seiko skx.
4. it with Sapphire crystal glass . also can use my seiko skx (i won't. but if i really need to...)
5. come with 5 link Jubi bracelet (5 link Jubi bracelet model is extra cost, if you buy seiko skx). have brand name on bracelet. don't want use seiko skx.(but same 22mm rug size)
6. only $160 (first order discount $15)
so, i just order it(skx007 green), and i am so exiting. (they will delivery mid April.)
for those reason. I DID GOOD CHOICE. and your video is good.
Despite its long lug-to-lug, it actually fits your relatively small wrists pretty well. Awesome value diver. Great review.
Cheers
The quality you are getting for such a low price is spectacular. Seiko's spb051 without a signed crown and disgusting arrow hands looks cheaper. People have to stop drooling over logos and brands.
Well, if heimdallr is that good they should make their own designs instead of copying every model of bad seiko and be known just for their copie... ehmmm "homages".
@@vitellonealvapore877 whatever floats your boat, I'm not a snob and a brand loyalist. I care for the price/quality ratio. Call me cheap, I don't care. Cheers m8

Great video!
Mine has no visible blue AR at all. The bezel lines up perfectly and has a sweet action. Lume is great. The caseback reads exactly; "water resistant 300m, all stainless steel sapphire crystal, automatic movement"
Doesn't say nh35. Looks quite different without the blue tinge. I got the bracelet as well which is suprisingly nice. The brushing is clean and has a solid milled clasp.
The large strap is because theoretically supposed to be used for diving and is thus big to go around your wetsuit just like the original.

I love my heimdalr 6105 homage. I turned it into a Willard with aftermarket parts.
I have one to:
czcams.com/video/5Ml0FzV3nzc/video.html
Mine is newer one has 300m front and back and watch band fits perfect on my 8inch wrist awesome homage to the 62 mas I also bought a black tropic band with out the waffles and it looks awesome but the waffle strap is period correct. This beats the San Martin and any other homage offered. Hiemdaller ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hey man.. thanks a million for the comment, I have the snowflake dial on the way... Can't wait! Thanks
I'm temped, thanks for a nice review 👍

I bought a green dial version of this watch yesterday. I was answered by the seller that the 200m incorrectly written on the back of the case you said was corrected to 300m.
Heyyyy.. thanks for the comment! So they do actually listen!!!

Have a turtle model and they are amazingly assembled. Are they really 200m(or300) WR?

Are San Martin, SteelDive and Heimdllr the same!! They seem to be exactly the same Watches
Just been researching and Heimdallr issue with either Seagull or ETA movement whereas SteelDive are solely Seiko NH35 movements. SAN Martin offer NH35 but greater customisation on point of sale
Hey there , thanks for the comment! As far as I know, San Martin have their own factory, where they make the cases and everything , Heimdallr just assemble stuff and they order cases and movements from someone else. Steel dive.. not so familiar with.. they have a lot of QC issues from what I noticed. Thanks again for your time!
I went to order this watch and the site said import charges possible and not included. So how do we know how much they may charge extra for the import of this watch to usa?
Hey.. You just have to Google the taxes depending on the price of the item for your state or for the country! I paid around 39 euros for the it ! Thanks again and hope it helps!
It is a homage of a 1960s Seiko but that watch and this watch is very similar to my 1969 Omega Seamaster 120. I want it just for that.
Nice review. I have a similar watch with similar AR coating and it drives me nuts. I want to see black, not blue. The affordable recent Seiko turtle reissue has a great looking face because it is pure black at any angle. The blue AR coating makes the watch look cheap and doesn’t look black.
It's strange, I have this same watch and the AR is barely noticeable at all. When I saw this vid that was the 1st thing I noticed. Mine also says 300 on back and front. There is no visible blue at all. The back reads sapphire stainless 300m and automatic. Doesn't say nh35. Can email u pics if u want

some macro shots of the dial and case will be much appreciated.
Hey man.. thanks a million for the comment! I film everything with my phone, OP 7T , it has a macro lens but it's not the best, that shouldn't be an excuse , nevertheless you're right I should be using more macro shots in my vidz! Thanks again!
Do you really think the bezel was deliberately mis aligned to match the Seikos original build control?
Honestly.. I don't know ... but I doubt the chinese manufacturers that make homage watches would put that detail in the final product . I could be wrong. Thanks for the comment!
@@WatcheswithGeorgeYes usually their Q.C is spot on. I had a Sharkey Tuna Can. It was spot on. My pleasure B.T W, great review. Subscribed.
Thank you very much .. !
Enjoyed the review if I was in the market for another dive watch I’d buy this but I have several divers already lol
Is it black or blue dial? It has a wonderful reflection!!!
Nice job!
Hey man.. thanks for the comment.. it's black with a lot of blue AR coating! Thanks again

San Martin, Steeldive, Heimdallr...Same company, different logos. I have a "6105 Willard" Steeldive, quality is amazing and not only for the price. I am thinking to get the 62MAS "Homage". I was looking at Seiko as an alternative for my high end vintage divers that I cannot wear anymore without stressing, but not anymore.

i just ordered a sea Sheppard from heimdallr, how long did it take to ship out to you?
Hey there.. I ordered a watch on the 1st of April from them and it arrived on the 28th of April! Also.. you might need to pay import taxes and such! I paid 40 euros at 159 euros cost ! Thanks again
@@WatcheswithGeorge thx for the info!
No problem! Thanks again for your time!
I saw the price was getting up (become $169 afer discount $70), but that price for Double Domed German Mineral Glass. If we choose Double Dome Sapphire glass the price is $199.
Anyway I like your review video, Thank You :)

The taxes for this watch is nearly to 80$ to my country, so why of i deside to buy this style of watch to not buy nethuns? 500m + helium escapement valve automatic...
Hey man. .. thanks for taking the time. I never had one of those watches but by the looks of it .. it's a sick looking watch.. and it depends how much it costs.. I see here that some of the watches are over 400 dollars with nh35 movements. For that money I would expect an ETA or a high beat miyota ... . You get good quality homage watches with Heimdallr in general relatively cheap. Thanks again
What's the size of your wrist?
6.3 inch or 16.02 cm! ,😃
The blue AR is very noticeable in the video - is the blue AR as bad in real life?
Hey... Thanks for the comment. Yes it's pretty noticeable.
I have one to:
czcams.com/video/5Ml0FzV3nzc/video.html
Is this blue?..cant tell.
The Anti Reflection coating gives that blue/purple tone to the glass. The dial itself is black
Would ya take 85 for it??
Hey man.. thanks for your time... I sold the watch already, unfortunately had to make room for more. And the answer is NO , wouldn't. Be well and thanks
@@WatcheswithGeorge 90 and I'll throw in an old working timex i have??
Why you say it is under $150? Its real price with shapphire crystal is $199
Hey man .. at the time of buying it was 150 dollars . Thanks for watching and apologies for the confusion !
General consensus is 100 meter WR is good for swimming and snorkeling, 200 meter is good for SCUBA diving. Recreational diving is limited to 40 meters. I SCUBA dived with an Omega Seamaster 120 for 30 years before it leaked. I would be very disappointed if this leaked diving. BTW Rolex and Omega are not ISO certified either.
I have one to:

George: The dial says 300m water resistance. The case back says 200m.
Hey hey.. thanks for the comment! And? That's what I said.. can you be a bit more specific please.? It helps ,thanks again
@@WatcheswithGeorge Sorry, I wrote the above, realized you'd mentioned it, and edited it to say that Heimdallr's website still makes that mistake in their photos. I guess I didn't click "reply" after writing that.
@@TheUkester69 No problem my man.. if I make a mistake and I don't see it .. I'm happy when people point it out so I can fix it next time .. and I do make mistakes.. thanks again and be safe!

Brave Ukraine! Victory!
God bless you
SAN Martin is a different company
I'll get one at some stage and do a comparison!
A lot of people say that they are all made in the same factories and the changes are like logo's etc. are just changed as per the request of the brands that use them.
presterjohn71 the quality varies too much for that to be true
So, which is better: Heimdlr or San Martin?
Edward Matt SAN Martin for sure
the waffle strap is so long in order for ppl to be able to wear them over neoprene suits
Hey man.. thanks for the comment, the strap is actually very long .. I don't know if it will fit a neoprene suit because I've never tried it on one... but it is very long though

People mean, u throw the movement out and put a new one in for $10 rather than service it. Dont chuck the whole watch u egg
Hey, can you really get a nh35 for 10 Bugs ? Best I found was about 25 bugs
lol re spanish san martin
I bought Pagan Design GMT screw down crown broken contacted Pagani Design, not interested raised a claim with PayPal Pagani Design couldn’t be bothered responding to PayPal, PayPal found in my favour and returned my money. Wouldn’t buy from this company no customer service save your money and buy elsewhere.
Hey.. thanks for your time. Fair enough .. I think that would be enough to put anyone off!
Most of these so called "homages" are literally clones, they just keep the company name. Heimdallr is a chinese company which makes all sorts of Seiko clones, it doesn't "pay tribute", it doesn't recall some traits of the original 62mas, it just straight copies the 62mas. I'd like a 62mas too, but i'd rather not own one or have another watch instead of this bs, doesn't matter the specs, the price blablabla.. it's bullshit, you can't call yourself an enthusiast if you wear fakes, clones, homage-copies, fashion watches from instagram ads..
Hey man.. thanks for the comment. On one side I agree with you but you also have to think about the fact that not everyone can afford a high end watch and also so called microbrands right now are "borrowing"a lot of design aspects from the bigger brands ! Thanks for the comment
@@WatcheswithGeorge I believe anyone really into watches wouldn't think "can't afford, buy clone or fake", unless you see watches only as a cool accessory and you're not particularly interested in the abstract aspects of watchmaking in that case any watch will do, otherwise buy something for your budget but buy something interesting. This doesn't necessarily mean you don't know anything about watches, it just shows how deep your interest/passion really is. Borrowing isn't bad per se, it depends, everyone borrows everywhere, even big brands from other big brands but carbon paper copying is different, i mean come on, they only changed the logo.
I'm familiar with some microbrands, some make interesting stuff and some don't, Heimdallr doesn't, cause they make money by selling copies of Seiko to people who like Seiko but aren't willing to pay Seiko money, like people who wear fake Rolexes.. You can pretend it's real but you know it's not.
This is just my opinion. Cheers.
@@vitellonealvapore877 hey man.. thanks again for the comment..I'm fully aware of what goes through my hands and I see your point.. also not trying to convince you otherwise because this is a very sensitive topic .. but the market went in that direction.. the "homage " way.. Trust me you can get original designs from China .. but no one will buy anything then because they're not as appealing .. at the moment that market is all about proven designs even if they are homages! Thanks again

@@vitellonealvapore877 your argument is invalid because one is trying to trick people that it's the real deal and the other isn't. Add to the fact they are homaging watches YOU CANT BUY ANY MORE and your argument becomes even more laughable
