Agreed - the quality and QC has come along significantly and they are now effectively like Seiko 5 Sports used to be... just better lume. I love my Steeldives too!
Surprisingly great lume on this. Keep the reviews coming. I've quit buying watches but still keeping abreast with the designs and tech specs of watches. Cheers Harvind.
Exactly, I wasn't expecting the lume to be anywhere near that good. I hope you get back to the watch collecting journey soon. I'll do my best to keep the reviews coming in the meantime, thanks for watching!
@@relosapulso Got my life wish of an early retirement prior to turning 50. Been buying-selling (and sometimes re-buying the same watch) over the 3 decades.

@@mohdyaniz me too, i think i need to stop buying just for now, been buying and selling to but the bad thing is, got rolled out from my recent job cause of covid, been tempting to buy that SD Fliger.

@@mohdyaniz oh and by the way thanks for the "life lesson" :) currently have 1 watch right now my seiko sea urchin i hope it will last me over 30 years
I've got the older version with the more traditional arrow type hands. Absolutely love it. I wear mine on a seatbelt NATO. Just subscribed and liking what I'm seeing. Cheers mate 👍
@@davemck1887 I have a 36mm pilot watch form timefactors built to the actual MOD spec by IWC,it has the original baton hands as well,I find the aesthetic to be far more tool watch and better looking 👍👍
@@deanwaller8283 I was looking at their Smiths Commando with a maroon coloured dial. The availability seems much better compared to their more popular models that sell out in minutes usually. In my opinion a great buy.
I really enjoy watching your videos - very nice production my friend. You deserve way more Subscribers! Did you take a look on the 40mm Escapement Time Quartz Flieger? I was thinking about picking that up. I would love to see a comparison between those 3 watches.
Thanks so much for the kind words mate, I really appreciate it. I haven't seen the 40mm quartz version in real life, but it looks as good as this model in images and videos I've seen. I think that size would have been perfect. If you're thinking about getting it - I say go for it!
A nice affordable fleiger type and a nice review. Escapement Time review also very good. And yes sir, a head to head video will be great as I'm finding it difficult to decide on which one to add to my collection.
Thank you for watching! I'm sorry, I couldn't compre the 2 as the footage I recorded did not turn out well. I'd say go for the Escapement Time if you have wrist size of 7 inches or bigger. it's a better watch than the Steeldive, but it wears large. If you have a smaller wrist, the Steeldive would be a better choice.
Received mine in black yesterday.....I believe they probably watched many of the reviews and took the criticism in a great way. My version met my expectations and more. The polishing is not perfect but way more refine compare with my SD1970. No sharp edges I can feel or see anywhere including lug tips, bracelet and the whole case. The bracelet is quite different than those I saw on RUclips reviews. It has a solid endlink, solid oyster bracelets, signed, logoed casp. The blush polishing on the bracelet is very smooth and comfort on wrist. Overall, it is my cheapest but most favourite watch at the moment, great value and I can’t take it off......probably going to buy few more in different color for daily use.
Sounds like they've improved it leaps and bounds since I had mine! Really great to know that they're constantly improving their models and maintaining the affordability at the same time. Very happy to know that you're enjoying yours - you really can't go wrong with Steeldives.
I have this same watch and iI am very pleased, although there is something I don't like, the crown doesn't touch the case when screwed, this happens with two of my Steeldive watches, nice review
Thanks for watching! I've not had that issue with the 2 Steeldives I've handled. I guess at this price range, its pretty much luck of the draw when it comes to QC
I just bought mine. It came without the qc issues you ran into. Maybe they figured it out, or I got lucky. If the green seems annoying to you, put it on a dark green leather strap and it will blend in nicely.
I got one of these last year and whilst winding it normally the winding stem snapped. Clearly this was a manufacturing issue. Steeldive refused to honour their warranty and accused me of abusing the watch. As someone with many watches and a good understanding of how to use them this was very disappointing. They're beautiful watches and great value but be aware that the warranties are worthless.
So strange that it snapped. The winding mechanism has a clutch that prevents overwinding and sticking and is screw down. I dont understand how it can snap without being dropped with the crown in out position.
Hey! Thanks for this most excellent review. Informative but never dull. And so well lit and edited. Bravo. I've subbed (actually subbed the other day, but came back for another look at this one today). I think I'll pull the trigger on this one, all things considered. I see below that you told another commenter what to search for when looking for the same strap as yours on the cheapestnatostraps site, but, I still couldn't see one which looked the same lovely colour as yours. At 6:17 it looks to have a reddish hue. If it's not too much trouble could you tell me the exact name of your model as 'vintage brown leather sienna' didn't come up with your type. It looks perfect with this watch! You've got very good taste, sir! Keep up the vids and I'm sure that your channel will take of eventually, especially with such good production values and concise info.
Hey buddy, thank you so much for the really kind words. It's comments like these that keep me motivated to keep pushing out content - which is much overdue. I truly appreciate the support! Regarding the strap, I've had a look at the CNS site and I think they've renamed it to "Kvarnsjö Rusty with black stitching"
@@WristWatching No worries, my friend. I think it's pretty much widely accepted these days that for your channel to really grow you need to post as regularly as possible. The more you post the quicker you grow, as long as the content is good, which yours definitely is. There are loads of watch channels out there, so you just need to keep plugging away until you become a familiar and trusted face out there. Of course, it's hard to keep posting regular content as you need to have more and more watches to review. The trick, I guess, is to get hold of as many free watches as possible eg borrow them from friends or subscribers. And, of course, as the channel grows you'll get freebies from watch manufacturers, and can even invite them to send review copies when you have a decent amount of subs! Thanks for the strap info. I'll have a look.... Happy new year!!
That SD1940 feels and looks more like a Field Watch than a Flieger. P.S They have quite a few competitors when it comes to Fliegers, even outside of the ET. For etc, the San Martin Fliegers or the Heimdallr ones or the LUGYOU/Cronos offerings
Thanks for watching! The line between fliegers and field watches is frequently blurred. Personally, I only consider something a field watch when they have the 12-hour and 24-hour timing on the dial. Agreed on San Martin and Cronos being competition, but they're above the $100 mark. If some has less than $100 to spend, the ET and SD are the 2 main options.
That would be interesting for sure. Unfortunately, I don't have the budget to add the San Martin to the lineup. Maybe one day - when the channel is bigger 😉 For now, I'm recording the Steeldive vs Escapement Time comparison as we speak. Thanks for watching!
Is the comparison review still happening? Liked both of the reviews and that both of these comes in unbranded versions. Would be great to help decide which to pick in case I pull the trigger 😉
Thanks for watching! Personally, I think it's because the proportions and styling do not represent a true flieger Type B. You can check out my review of the Escapement Time Type B flieger, that's an amazing representation of it!
Welcome to the channel! Unfortunately I don't have a diamond tester tool, but Steeldive is a trusted brand. I'm sure it's sapphire if they say it is. There are other reviews that verify this too.
Thanks, Steeldive and Addies are the same? Cause what I understand is that you d change the logo of addies for having steeldive and if that is possibile means that addies is the same or part of steeldive . Ciao from Italy.
I believe they're both exactly the same watch from the same supplier, just different branding on the dial and caseback. Addies seems to have lower prices than Steeldive and really great reviews on AliExpress too. Perhaps worth checking them out. :)
@@WristWatching I received the Addies-Version two weeks ago. It´s the same watch, but Addies uses the older style of hands (shaped like those on your B-Type from Escapement Time), which I prefer. Lume is also great and to me it seems to have a little bit smoother brushing and no dings :-) Great watch!
It's a nice looking watch but the QC issues and lack of attention to detail seem to ruin it. They should maybe raise the price a bit and find a new factory.
True, but buyers may prefer the San Martin flieger instead if they wanted better QC at a slightly higher price. I feel SD is playing safe by avoiding that space.
Just got mine, definitely good for what I wanted. A work/beater watch with a nice styling (for my taste) for a cheap price. My steinhart military 42 (£450) is a much better watch in all respects but I wouldn't use that for a work/beater. The main issues I have with the steeldive is the movement feels rough on winding (I don't know if this is normal for a NH35 movement) and screwing the crown down can be tricky, but again for it's intended purpose I'm happy.
@@lankymk I get what you mean, I had that feeling with this SD too. It could have easily been my daily beater (if I didn't already gave a few haha). I have a Steinhart too - absolutely love it! The slight grittiness is normal with the NH35. It's not as gritty as Seagull or Miyota movements, but it's grittier than ETA movements in my experience.
I have the blue sunburst dial. It came on a steel bracelet which had a huge dent on the end link. Other than that I love this watch a and the finish is good for the price. My hands were better finished than the one shown. In all its a beautiful watch. I put it on a rubber strap which made it look a million dollars.
Hi .......I thought you might also like the STROND DC3 vintage timepiece now that you have been bitten by the Flieger bug. We made the dial tag from an original 1940's DC3 airplane wing...... If you go over to my channel you can see it !
Nice IWC Mk XV rip off. Mine runs +3 per day. Also came with marks on the case. I guess Steeldive offset costs by buying slightly damaged stock. Who cares at these prices!
For 80 bucks there is no down side to this watch. The movement alone is worth at least 40 dollars. Now, if you are anal you can find bad things to say about this watch. I for one, do not like the Steeldive logo. I would prefer a sterile logo. I don't like the engraving either. Better to have no engraving than to have the garbage they have put on the caseback. Other than that, the watch is all good.
It's amazing how much tastes differ. I much prefer a logo over a sterile dial, and I like the fact they included the engraving - as random as it is. It is a cracking watch for the price though, that's for sure!
@@WristWatching It isn't that I don't like a logo. I don't consider Steeldive a real logo. They are just a parts aggregator. They buy the cases and movements from random manufacturers and then case it up and sell it. They make nothing. They are a seller. Not a watch manufacturer. Therefore, a sterile dial is more honest. If the logo was Seiko then yes, I would like to see that logo. A logo needs to mean something. Steeldive is a nothing company.

Thank you! I got this from Cheapest Nato Straps, under their vintage leather series.
Does this AR coating actually has less reflection compared to regular sapphire crystal or mineral crystal?
To be honest, the blue AR coating actually made it less legible when light hits it directly. Very weird.

Why is the logo on the back different than the one on the dial?

After having both, I'd say the Escapement Time is an overall better watch if you can handle the larger size. Both are great options though
I have the blue sunburst dial. It came on a steel bracelet which had a huge dent on the end link. Other than that I love this watch a and the finish is good for the price. My hands were better finished than the one shown. In all its a beautiful watch. I put it on a rubber strap which made it look a million dollars.
With that rubber strap and the 200m water resistance rating, this could be all the watch you'd ever need.
I think the San Martin version of this pilot watch does have better finish than this Steeldive at a higher price point though.
Based on what I've seen online, I think so too. Haven't seen one in the flesh though.
