New subscriber/fab review on this. Lots of invictas (I know) & this will best them all (together)😂. Current sale w/discounts, etc etc +Choice dlvry in red w/date 4 $120 before tax? Wow!! Turned 65 in Nov n this will be a fab celebratory pc. Merry🎄🎄🤙
I don’t really like the texture, but the watch itself is Phenomenal. I have two Watchdives, and I’ve said for a while when it comes to bang for buck Homages, there’s no one better. And now that they are venturing out into original designs…look out everyone. Bob would have been proud!
Yeah, the dial texture could've been done a bit better, but the case finishing and build quality are really quite impressive. I'm liking the direction Watchdives is going. Thanks as always for watching!
the price of WD0005 is very close to SM watches, so the slightly lower quality actually doesnt make WD a better bang for buck. The 2 brands are now pound for pound equal, IMO. It's up to individual whether they want spend $200 on a $200 watch or $300 on a $300 watch.
I don't think WatchDives is better than the Erebus ascent. WD has done my head in with it's split pin nonsense and that flimsy Temu type pin tool. The Dial on one hand looks appealing but on closer look it looks like it has blistered in the sun and is trying to pay Homage to a cheaper Addiesdive recent releas/es.Not quite there for me as I can stump up a bit more cash and Get a San Martin .
I agree. I believe I called it affordable quality. For the price, the build quality and finishing really are nice. But not luxury level. Thanks for watching!
Not being argumentative; but I've never heard of straum...so id suggest 99.4% of the population wouldn't pick up on the obvious homage.. And to me personally, couldn't care less if a watch is a homage or not...just want it to look good etc. Ofc some people value a unique design more and that's fair enough too
I purchased an Captain Willard Adiswatch about a year ago with a white textured dial and I loved it, much more than my Seiko actual Cpap.Willard!

Defn a much better logo.
Actually pretty cool.

Thank you for your thoughtful, thorough review of this attractive, modestly priced Watchdives watch. Peace and Prosperity to you, Sir.
The dial texture makes the glass appear broken from a distance.... not a good look.
I wish you would weigh the watches so that he would have some idea of how it would feel in hand and on wrist.
lol Bob Ross too funny!

Push pins bend in no time at all on any watch from AliExpress which leads to wonky bracelets.
As soon as SM changes that ugly logo, I’ll be all over it
No, they are not affordable luxury. Just affordable.

Looks like a blatant copy of straum
