Based on your review, and just received it yesterday. I must say, as a cheap watch enthusiast (who also owns a Rolex DJ, BTW), I was immediately impressed with this watch. The '3-D' dial looks like it belongs on, at least a $5,000 watch. Simply stunning in all light conditions. The watch is super light, almost disappearing on my wrist. Apart from some very sharp edges on the clasp (hair-puller), I can do nothing but praise this thing. That being said, I'd love to see them make watches like this (with the Seiko Quartz movement) more 'upscale'. Give us a sapphire crystal. Spend a little more time smoothing out the bottom edges of the clasp and bracelet. And go ahead, charge us more money for these things. We'll PAY it!
I happy to hear your satisfication with the watch 😊 And THANK YOU for coming back and giving us a review with your thoughts about it with good and bad, I am sure it is not only appreciated by me, but also by other viewers! Wear it in good health, and hope to hear more from you! 😄👌
They actually listens to their customers. This model is really very good improvement of sand dune watch. Love the new logo, new colour & lume. Luv yr videos❤
I just got this watch, and i have to say what an amazing watch you get for the price, the fit is perfect on the wrist and the dial is stunnig, dome glass and a full link bracelet, for 60 bucks. What an absolute steal
@@BastijnDeGroot-n9y Hey fam! Im so happy that you came back to share your on hands experience with us, and it keeps me motivated to find more good catches for you guys! Thank you for sharing 😄
@@GunGuy258 I think the logo is too complicated for my personal preference, but I know that many likes it on their divers. I have no issues with their old logo on my AD2047, the monster style watch fits it good, wouldnt want the script logo on that specific model 😅
Great review! Gorgeous dimensional dial, love the hands (and the lume). I completely agree with you about the crystal. A watch this gorgeous deserves not only a sapphire crystal, but also an upgraded bracelet and clasp. At $54.00, it's certainly inexpensive enough for them to offer the option of an upgrade on the crystal AND the bracelet to one with screw pins. I'd also love to see the option of a clasp with on-the-fly adjustment such as San Martin offers. Put all that together, and they could easily ask $150.00 for this one. Come on, Addiesdive, give the public what they want!
Thank you for the feedback! Agreed, Id happily pay more for a higher end version of this! Just imagine all those things you mentioned. The case finishing is already great and that dial too, so with a higher quality bracelet+clasp & sapph it could potentially be competing with much more expensive options
@@jackochainsaw there is only one correct opinion here and you are in the right! I really enjoy this sunburst, does not look cheap like some watches can do at this pricepoint 😊👌
There a so many cool and fitting options to use a free italic font. I wouldn't use the most boring and inappropriate pre-installed cursive font of all fonts. That's so lazy.
@@knutjunker2019 There is no possible way to make a logo that would please everyone alike, but I believe I have achieved my goal of improving on the old logo because it seems to be liked by the vast majority over what we had previously 😊
the new logo really goes well with this dial. getting rid of the deepseahunter text at the 6 marker is also a great move from addiesdive. in my opinion the hour markers are a big improvement compared to the 2030. do you know if there is any antiglare coting on the 2066? i know the 2030 turns into the a flashlight under direct sunlight.
Your review sold me on this watch. I own the sand dune model and the new dress GMT model of this same watch as well, so that helped. The light green dial was the clincher though. I ordered this exact one immediately after. Hoping to have it within a week. Great video! 👍🏼

I agree about the sapphire. The mecaquartz is good, however, I'd prefer a solar movement from Epson or Citizen. It would possibly cost more ( only a bit?) but it would last longer and there'd be no need to open the case back for even longer to check the seals.
@@jaysterling26 it would be cool to see some solar quartz from Addiesdive, I'm sure many would like it. Personally I enjoy the sweeping seconds of the VH31 😊
Rio, this looks better on wrist than expected. AD did a great job with the sunburst dial/hands for the Conquest loo, using their existing case/bracelet/crystal. IDK why they released it as a "20mm lug, thinner 11mm case" but failed to deliver. Maybe in future. AD told me sapphire crystal has been vdry expensive to make in this size, which is precenting its release for now, as an option.
@@bensynewsshoedown4999 Hey Ben! Love to see your takes on this one 👌 Yes I measured mine and got 19mm lug-width, and 11mm thick. It is exactly the same case as the AD2030 repurposed. I mean the AD2030 was really comfortable to begin with but I prefer accurate descriptions rather 😉
A premium or budget version is a GREAT idea, I'd appreciate that for many watches. I can live with mineral but I everytime I lend a watch to my GF it comes back with scratches😂, so I'd go for the sapphire version for sure! Nice review BTW.
I agree. The dial of the last version was obviously inspired by Grand Seiko, without the watch being a clear homage watch. I prefer this concept to real homages or outright clones.
@@hbgghx5764 I like just having something that looks good, Im not too bothered if it is original or not 😅 as long as it doesnt hurt my wallet... too much! 😂
It’s literally a perfect watch for the price 👌 Thanks for the review ! I think the only thing they can improve is to design a simple logo for the crown and the clasp (like « AD »). I like the brand font with no logo on that dial but I don’t like their old logo on a sport/dress watch like this (the two spearguns with a pair of diving goggles).

I placed the order before watching the review and also double checked with the seller, who confirmed it's 20mm. However, I noticed in the reviews it mentions 19mm, which is a bit confusing.
Beautiful dial! Have yhe mint blue sand dune watch and loved it. Ordered the mint green. Would LOVE them to do a champagne version of this dial! That would be insanely classy.
@@StefKlingOfficial Nice! Wear it in good health when it arrives 😊👌 I was looking at that mint blue but decided to get the sand colored one instead back when they where released. Both looks gorgeous
I would love to see Addiesdive make a version with sapphire crystal and an automatic movement. I don't care what they put on the caseback, but I would rather not have any branding on the crown and clasp.
@@caktaylor indeed it would be nice to have that option. If not a matching "A" or "AD" text logo on crown then I also would prefer a non-branded crown and caseback. But in usage I dont notice it so much anyway, so it doesnt bother me 😊
Beautiful watch. For me if it doesn't have a date window, it's a No go. It's a shame because I'd really like to have one in my collection. Great video.
@@michaelhargis7036 Would have been nice if seiko releases another version of this fantastic VH31 movement but with a date complication aswell 👌 There sure are other great watches with date complications that I will review in the near future 😉
@@thewholecut I never actually thought about buying it, seems like a good watch now that I looked it up! 🤯 I have many new releases planned for now, perhaps I look in to it at a later time 😊
Hello mate, you can find the link to the strap in description of the video 😊 The strap is a bit dry when it is new, but it becomes softer with usage or if you wash it with soap and rinse 🙌
FYI it's not a mecaquartz movement (no mechanical module inside) as it's not a chronograph, it's only a sweeping second quartz movement which is fine (4 bps).
@@waynesellers4078 i thought so too, but I will read up on the movement and see if I can justify it being more mechanically dependant than traditional quartz movements or if it is just a misunderstanding that got spread among the community
Great video and the watch looks good with one exception that I do not care for anymore and that is no more quartz movement which requires every 2 years give or take in time to replace batteries. I only stick to automatic movement from San Martin and Seestern but to each its own for those who do not mind replacing batteries..
Thank you for watching and commenting! Personally now that I have 30+ watches I like to have many quartz watches because I have to set all my automatics constantly when switching(happens 3-4 times a week). In total it takes me far more time than just replacing the battery once every two years. So I think it is very dependent on who the user is
Keep in mind that auto movements do break down (though I have auto watches un-serviced for 20+ years that still work fine). Maye a solar/quartz combo is the most efficient.
@@RIOLOGY True. However, I had a Citizen Stiletto solar cell that lasted a very long time (15+ yrs, if I'm not mistaken). Easier and cheaper to swap out a battery than an auto movement.
@@adamt1564 yeah I not worried with either auto or quartz, I have only been able to afford watches in the past 5 years or so, before that was one watch and I was happy like that, good ol days 🥲
I'd get this for the overall clean(er) look, fonts and dial colour, better and sharper indicies and hands and of course the movement i like a lot.I won't bother at all for the crystal, maybe the bracelet too. But i won't get because of the 19mm lug. Love to change straps on my watches, almost all my collection is changing straps every now and then. Have many many! So, no... Thanks for the review, be well mate.
@@stavros_katsopr thank you for your comment mate! Glad to see you here again 😊 The 19mm bracelet can definitely be a drawback if you already have a set of other sized straps
Thanks for the review! Definitely a sharp-looking watch and great value. If it sells well, I'm guessing they'll soon offer an automatic version with a sapphire crystal, like they did with the sand dune watch. By the way, the automatic version of the dune watch already comes with the new script logo, sapphire, jubilee bracelet, and upgraded indices, but not lume.
@@jaydub9509 Thank you too, for both watching and commenting! I really enjoy the size and proportions of the VH31 version, I wish they made the automatic upgrades for this watch aswell. The automatic you mentioned also sounds tempting now though 😊
@@RIOLOGY I own the automatic version, and I think it was definitely worth the extra $40-50. My only complaint is that the lug ends and underside of the bracelet links are a bit sharp, although fortunately that does not seem to affect the wearing experience.
Wow, that one looks really awesome! I have the dune dial one and think it is great, but this one looks even better. It's impressive what you get for the price. I had a Tag Heuer that did not have a milled clasp (sold it)... ridiculous, when you consider that you can get 20 of these for the price...
@@hbgghx5764 the dune dials looks great also, but I like the new ones much more too, mainly thanks to the updated logo & nicer hands! Yeah I agree, swiss watches in general are ridiculously prices for what they are, thanks to what we can get from Aliexpress nowadays
Hey bro. I see you got another banger, that mint green dial is absolutely gorgeous!! I really don't need this style of watch but this specific one might just be the exception! That bracelet would be the first thing to come off, though! 😅
@@RIOLOGY Glad to hear that! And always glad to engage you and support as well! Oh yes, and I think the affordable price of the watch allows for one to invest in a high quality leather strap to match that classy dial! ⌚😎
@@manuelmikewa thank you bro, I really appreciate it! I wonder how it would look on a good quality leather strap? Perhaps I upload a youtube short when I figure that out 😉
@@Bscott-390 yes my friend that is correct. This is a new type of quartz movement. It moves and looks like an automatic but it is a combination of mechanical and quartz movement 😊
Hi bro ! This video made me purchase one 😂 can’t get enough of that mint green dial.. can you confirm if it’s 19mm or 20mm ? I am planning to change it to a jubilee .. is there any particular kind should I be looking for ?
Hi bro! My previous reply didnt get registred 😭 I confirm that the actual lug width is 19mm (according to my caliper) 😊 When it comes to jubilee bracelets I prefer one with female end-links but I have a very hard time finding one in 19mm for you. I will let you know if I find one with female endlinks
@@Luckenw I think it depends much your general style of clothing too, perhaps if many messages them asking for a bigger size they could consider making another option, because Im sure this model will sell well enough!
@@Luckenw Worst case you can gift it to someone special, this piece is so universal in style! I will give mine to my younger brother since he laid his eyes on it, I cant say no, big bro problems 😂 But yeah, I can borrow it back from time to time. I think they nailed this one!
Worth the wait? What, did the AD string you along on a 3 year waiting list? Did you have to buy a couple of readily available pieces just to be considered?
Well yeah, it came with this new Conquest dial instead and new model number AD2066. But it was 1 year ago I designed their logo hoping it to be put on the AD2030. I consider this a win after the 1 year wait
I would buy it, but then i had to see the Logo every day. As a typographer and graphic artist i can‘t look at it. Why not use the typo from the other logo (which is ugly as well, but the font is allright)?
@@knutjunker2019 I actually prefer this new font much more, I think it comes down to personal preference, I was the once who suggested them this logo, among other alternatives, 1 year ago, so blame me 😭
Personally, I am confused why a company would build a watch with this use case (dressy sporty) and cut corners to sell it for $55. Why not put the additional investment into the model (sapphire crystal, upgraded bracelet and clasp)? It like they are racing to the bottom in terms of price. Here is a real question- who in the hell asked them to make this watch for $50? The same people that would buy this watch at $50 would buy this watch (with upgrades) at $130. SMH
I think that you are correct when it comes to us watch entusiasts, many would like to pay more with the upgrades mentioned 😊 But I think that most people who shops at Aliexpress are looking to get the best deal possible for a gorgeous looking watch. I hope they make an upgraded option! 👌
@@RIOLOGYI think you have a good point but a deeper look reveals that there is the potential for higher margins with the use of higher specs. Same reason Rolex (through production restrictions) pushes new buyers toward white gold or platinum models - much higher profit margin. Especially in this case we’re Addiesdive is likely only making 200-300 of these watches. In this case, when volume is not a major factor, then getting the most profit margin makes more sense. Wonderful convo and I love your channel!!!
@@KP-wp5sz you have a point there, but I think they need to start trying to establish their brand more outside of AX also, I think they have the potential to make good profits if they rebrand and start marketing towards the western market! I can imagine the dent they would do to Seiko and similiar brands if they did this correctly. Enjoy talking to you to bro, thanks for engaging with the channel! 💯🔥
@@ZaxxVirx take it to the lab bro, and while you already booked it, make sure to bring your Tissot with you aswell, because its case and bracelet is also imported from China
@@ZaxxVirx I know one thing, as long as it is 316L Stainless Steel you have nothing to worry about regardless of where the watch comes from. Most of Europe imports processed 316L SS from China for many industries. And despite that, Addiesdive has almost exported 100'000 watches world wide in 316L Stainless steel. We would have heard something by now if someone was affected by toxins. If you buy random metal alloys that are chrome plated, that is when you should worry, like for example with $7 watches from China or Fossil watches sold in the West. And if you are really worried then research about DuPont and how the majority of the world population is now affected by their toxins and PFAS.
@@travosk8668 Got to love the "Jubilee" style strap, but I sold one of my watches recently and described the bracelet as a Jubilee in the eBay listing. Three days in and someone with way too much spare time reported me for breaching the copyright relating to the use of thexword Jubilee. Apparently, we're supposed to refer to this style of bracelet as "J style" these days. Yet another eord that should be OK because the word is in common usage, but no. I used the word and got a telling off from a well known, Swiss watch manufacturer. It's just as bad in the case of automotive brand BMW, who own the rights to use the name "Mini." I think that this was settled because of the huge demand that there is, even today, for BMC / BLMC MINIS, an example of which would go very nicely with this Addiesdive watch on the owner's wrist... and don't get me started on "Tiffany Blue!" Swiss watchmakers are hardly a threat to that historic name? Anyway, this Addiesdive appeals to my taste in inexpensive Chinese timepieces, even if I can't spell the word "turquoise.
@jayeblagburn2056 That is so true! As a content creator I have to be careful or how I mention stuff, for example I have to be careful to call a non original bracelet jubilee for example Thanks for the heads up! 💯❤️
@@caesardifranco3648 congratulations mate, wear it in good health once it arrives! The AD2038 is cool and retro, I have a similiar design but by Zezame and I really enjoy the style. Date is nice but this smooth seconds quartz movement doesnt have a version with a date, unfortunately :/

I also think this will definitely be a hit from them!
Beautiful watch. For me if it doesn't have a date window, it's a No go. It's a shame because I'd really like to have one in my collection. Great video.

can you share review of your perlon strap, want to find a good and affordable one
Hello mate, you can find the link to the strap in description of the video 😊
The strap is a bit dry when it is new, but it becomes softer with usage or if you wash it with soap and rinse 🙌
Addiesdive really blown me away with this watch!
@@WatchSniper 100%!
FYI it's not a mecaquartz movement (no mechanical module inside) as it's not a chronograph, it's only a sweeping second quartz movement which is fine (4 bps).
@@morgan.enfield thank you for the correction, I will have to read up on it more in detail now 😊
mecaquartz doesn't have to be a chronograph, it just has to have mechanical parts and be quartz.
@@waynesellers4078 i thought so too, but I will read up on the movement and see if I can justify it being more mechanically dependant than traditional quartz movements or if it is just a misunderstanding that got spread among the community
@@RIOLOGY the vh31 is not a mecha quartz but does get referred to as one, calibre corner is a good source of information on movements.
@@waynesellers4078 thank you for the source mate!
I appreciate it, I will do some reading in to it 😄
How is it "the same" if the lug width is 19mm and the previous "sand dune" model is 20mm?
@@ArtoftheDial both are 19mm according to my caliper 😊 dimension in the listings are wrong
@@RIOLOGY Thanks, such a shame the picked the "wrong" dimension to use.
my sister will like this for christmas
@@zillsburyy1 its a great looking watch for sure! 😊
Great video and the watch looks good with one exception that I do not care for anymore and that is no more quartz movement which requires every 2 years give or take in time to replace batteries. I only stick to automatic movement from San Martin and Seestern but to each its own for those who do not mind replacing batteries..
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Personally now that I have 30+ watches I like to have many quartz watches because I have to set all my automatics constantly when switching(happens 3-4 times a week). In total it takes me far more time than just replacing the battery once every two years.
So I think it is very dependent on who the user is
Keep in mind that auto movements do break down (though I have auto watches un-serviced for 20+ years that still work fine). Maye a solar/quartz combo is the most efficient.
@@adamt1564 even solar quartz needs a battery change after many years as the battery degrades over time, nothing is forever 😭
@@RIOLOGY True. However, I had a Citizen Stiletto solar cell that lasted a very long time (15+ yrs, if I'm not mistaken). Easier and cheaper to swap out a battery than an auto movement.
@@adamt1564 yeah I not worried with either auto or quartz, I have only been able to afford watches in the past 5 years or so, before that was one watch and I was happy like that, good ol days 🥲
I'd get this for the overall clean(er) look, fonts and dial colour, better and sharper indicies and hands and of course the movement i like a lot.I won't bother at all for the crystal, maybe the bracelet too. But i won't get because of the 19mm lug.
Love to change straps on my watches, almost all my collection is changing straps every now and then. Have many many! So, no...
Thanks for the review, be well mate.
@@stavros_katsopr thank you for your comment mate! Glad to see you here again 😊
The 19mm bracelet can definitely be a drawback if you already have a set of other sized straps
Thanks for the review! Definitely a sharp-looking watch and great value. If it sells well, I'm guessing they'll soon offer an automatic version with a sapphire crystal, like they did with the sand dune watch. By the way, the automatic version of the dune watch already comes with the new script logo, sapphire, jubilee bracelet, and upgraded indices, but not lume.
@@jaydub9509 Thank you too, for both watching and commenting!
I really enjoy the size and proportions of the VH31 version, I wish they made the automatic upgrades for this watch aswell. The automatic you mentioned also sounds tempting now though 😊
@@RIOLOGY I own the automatic version, and I think it was definitely worth the extra $40-50. My only complaint is that the lug ends and underside of the bracelet links are a bit sharp, although fortunately that does not seem to affect the wearing experience.
@@jaydub9509 50 extra is not too bad! I will look in to it more, perhaps make a comparison between the quartz n auto
Got mine in mint 😊
@@issachunt3418 Congratulations bro! Wear it in good health! 🙏❤️
It says quartz on Aliexpress but I see it ticks as an automatic in the video?
@@Jgvalls it is a new Quartz movement, it is indeed a Quartz and looks like an automatic 😊
Wow, that one looks really awesome! I have the dune dial one and think it is great, but this one looks even better. It's impressive what you get for the price. I had a Tag Heuer that did not have a milled clasp (sold it)... ridiculous, when you consider that you can get 20 of these for the price...
@@hbgghx5764 the dune dials looks great also, but I like the new ones much more too, mainly thanks to the updated logo & nicer hands!
Yeah I agree, swiss watches in general are ridiculously prices for what they are, thanks to what we can get from Aliexpress nowadays
Hey bro. I see you got another banger, that mint green dial is absolutely gorgeous!! I really don't need this style of watch but this specific one might just be the exception! That bracelet would be the first thing to come off, though! 😅
@@manuelmikewa hey again bro! I love to see your comments! 😊
The bracelet isnt the best but the watch itself is exceptional for the price 👌
@@RIOLOGY Glad to hear that! And always glad to engage you and support as well!
Oh yes, and I think the affordable price of the watch allows for one to invest in a high quality leather strap to match that classy dial! ⌚😎
@@manuelmikewa thank you bro, I really appreciate it!
I wonder how it would look on a good quality leather strap? Perhaps I upload a youtube short when I figure that out 😉
@@RIOLOGYGreat idea, I'll be waiting to see! 👍🏾
@@RIOLOGY deep burgundy leather with mint green stitching
It looks like an automatic in the video, but the description on Aliexpress says it is a quarts?
@@Bscott-390 yes my friend that is correct. This is a new type of quartz movement. It moves and looks like an automatic but it is a combination of mechanical and quartz movement 😊
Does it have sharp edges on the bracelet?
@@dannycph no sharp edges on the bracelet, but some on the clasp however it is not in areas that come in contact with your wrist while wearing it

Shame about 19mm esp when you will need a better strap, I agree with the lack of sapphire
@@marcustaylor9210 20 mm would have been better indeed!
For £40 it's an absolute peach though corners must have been cut somewhere so I imagine the bracelet is dank.

Hi bro ! This video made me purchase one 😂 can’t get enough of that mint green dial.. can you confirm if it’s 19mm or 20mm ? I am planning to change it to a jubilee .. is there any particular kind should I be looking for ?
Hi bro!
My previous reply didnt get registred 😭
I confirm that the actual lug width is 19mm (according to my caliper) 😊
When it comes to jubilee bracelets I prefer one with female end-links but I have a very hard time finding one in 19mm for you.

@@probablynothing5465 not on my piece unfortunately ☹️
I really hope I can pull this off with and 8" wrist, because this thing looks incredible, if only it was 38/39mm
@@Luckenw I think it depends much your general style of clothing too, perhaps if many messages them asking for a bigger size they could consider making another option, because Im sure this model will sell well enough!

Worth the wait? What, did the AD string you along on a 3 year waiting list? Did you have to buy a couple of readily available pieces just to be considered?
@@peetiegonzalez1845 1 year wait for the updated logo that I made to finally hit the AD2030
Well yeah, it came with this new Conquest dial instead and new model number AD2066.
But it was 1 year ago I designed their logo hoping it to be put on the AD2030.
I consider this a win after the 1 year wait
Would like exactly the same watch in 39-41
@@haroldcastle i think this one will sell good, so having options for more people is good 👌
I would buy it, but then i had to see the Logo every day. As a typographer and graphic artist i can‘t look at it.
Why not use the typo from the other logo (which is ugly as well, but the font is allright)?
@@knutjunker2019 I actually prefer this new font much more, I think it comes down to personal preference,
I was the once who suggested them this logo, among other alternatives, 1 year ago, so blame me 😭
@@RIOLOGY, of course it‘s personal taste :-)
Miles better before. It's hard to beat the white dune dial. Beautiful snowfield.
@@PocketUau the sand dune dials are gorgeous in their own regards aswell, I just hope they could update them with the new logo
Personally, I am confused why a company would build a watch with this use case (dressy sporty) and cut corners to sell it for $55. Why not put the additional investment into the model (sapphire crystal, upgraded bracelet and clasp)? It like they are racing to the bottom in terms of price. Here is a real question- who in the hell asked them to make this watch for $50? The same people that would buy this watch at $50 would buy this watch (with upgrades) at $130. SMH
I think that you are correct when it comes to us watch entusiasts, many would like to pay more with the upgrades mentioned 😊
But I think that most people who shops at Aliexpress are looking to get the best deal possible for a gorgeous looking watch.
I hope they make an upgraded option! 👌
@@RIOLOGYI think you have a good point but a deeper look reveals that there is the potential for higher margins with the use of higher specs. Same reason Rolex (through production restrictions) pushes new buyers toward white gold or platinum models - much higher profit margin. Especially in this case we’re Addiesdive is likely only making 200-300 of these watches. In this case, when volume is not a major factor, then getting the most profit margin makes more sense. Wonderful convo and I love your channel!!!
@@KP-wp5sz you have a point there, but I think they need to start trying to establish their brand more outside of AX also, I think they have the potential to make good profits if they rebrand and start marketing towards the western market!
I can imagine the dent they would do to Seiko and similiar brands if they did this correctly.
Enjoy talking to you to bro, thanks for engaging with the channel! 💯🔥
@@RIOLOGY I agree. And re-sell The for a highier price.
How can I be sure that it does not contain toxic chemicals or metals like so many products from the far East?
@@ZaxxVirx take it to the lab bro, and while you already booked it, make sure to bring your Tissot with you aswell, because its case and bracelet is also imported from China
@@RIOLOGYI believe Tissot as a brand has too much to lose if they did not obey the European laws regarding hazardous substances.
@@ZaxxVirx I know one thing, as long as it is 316L Stainless Steel you have nothing to worry about regardless of where the watch comes from. Most of Europe imports processed 316L SS from China for many industries. And despite that, Addiesdive has almost exported 100'000 watches world wide in 316L Stainless steel. We would have heard something by now if someone was affected by toxins.
If you buy random metal alloys that are chrome plated, that is when you should worry, like for example with $7 watches from China or Fossil watches sold in the West.
And if you are really worried then research about DuPont and how the majority of the world population is now affected by their toxins and PFAS.
You are right !! this watch deserves sapphire Cristal
@@haroldcastle Thank you for sharing your opinion 😊👌
defo not the bracelet for this style. A jubilee would be awesome
@@travosk8668 I wish they offered an option to choose
@@travosk8668 Got to love the "Jubilee" style strap, but I sold one of my watches recently and described the bracelet as a Jubilee in the eBay listing. Three days in and someone with way too much spare time reported me for breaching the copyright relating to the use of thexword Jubilee. Apparently, we're supposed to refer to this style of bracelet as "J style" these days. Yet another eord that should be OK because the word is in common usage, but no. I used the word and got a telling off from a well known, Swiss watch manufacturer.
It's just as bad in the case of automotive brand BMW, who own the rights to use the name "Mini." I think that this was settled because of the huge demand that there is, even today, for BMC / BLMC MINIS, an example of which would go very nicely with this Addiesdive watch on the owner's wrist... and don't get me started on "Tiffany Blue!" Swiss watchmakers are hardly a threat to that historic name?
Anyway, this Addiesdive appeals to my taste in inexpensive Chinese timepieces, even if I can't spell the word "turquoise.
@jayeblagburn2056
That is so true! As a content creator I have to be careful or how I mention stuff, for example I have to be careful to call a non original bracelet jubilee for example
