    So I have it on my wrist now and it seems there are a few differences with the watches of yours and mine, guessing they are roughly 2020 and 2021 models. Most of these variations can be found on other videos of RUclips, of course.
    The locking clasp has the etched shark logo now instead of the brand name.
    The back plate information has changed. No mentioning of the NH35 movement anymore. Also the model code (mine reads as HAS-H5) is now in the middle of the back plate between the brand name and the great shark logo.
    The green lume longevity is only good.
    The lume pip is noticeable smaller but raised anyway..
    BUT it is with blue lume. This is the first blue lume pip I have seen on Heimdallr captain Willard watches.
    Great watch indeed!
    (Hopefully this comment goes through. The first try vanished for some reason. Thank you!)

    I’ve bought a version of this Same watch by a different company called Steeldive. Same movement and I believe the case is manufactured by the same people. Only difference is the steeldive has a ceramic bezel insert with an inset luminescent dial. Great review can’t wait to get mine! Also thank you for your service sir. Always cool to see veterans on RUclips.

    I got the same one a couple months ago. I love it. It is so comfortable. The lume pip popped out on the first day but I crazy glued it in place and it's been fine. I'm done buying stuff from China for a while, but this is a great watch.

    Great review of this watch, I did buy the 'steeldive' one, which is the same but with a fully lumed bezel without a pip. I actually have a couple of their watches from steeldive and are great for the money with great specs.
    I did receive my heimdallr suby that I ordered after watching your video, it is great, thanks a lot for the great work and your reviews.
    Can I ask you what camera do you use?
    And please don't remove, ot maybe add some of your personal mechanics projects, you are a really good welder and should share this experience too.

    After a year with this it is one of my least expensive watches in a collection of 18 and it gets the most wrist time which includes a seiko skx007j, a seiko samurai and other more costly watches. This watch is super quality and super comfortable.

    Nice review. I have one of these that came with the fitted bracelet but I've already put it on to that same black rubber strap you've got on yours. These are great watches and mine is gorgeous. However my bezel is so stiff that I originally thought it had been welded in place. After lubing it and then forcefully twisting it 100 full rotations, it still so stiff that I can't rotate it while wearing it. So, that part's a bummer but the watch is very comfortable, keeps great time, looks wonderful and I'm sure will improve with another couple hundred revolutions. My forearms will be gigantic...

    How is the AR on your 6105? Another review of one of the other 6105 homages showed it as having a sort of overdone AR that makes it look like the dial is blue. Heimdallr's photos of this model make it look bluish as well. What's yours like?
