Really cool one, can't get enough of bronze watches and I'm a real Tudor fan. Gotta say, I love seeing actual homages and not 99% copies of real watches. Great review too, as always!
😂😂 its nice man, i wud have liked to see the brown dial tbh. Appreciate it John, but I don't celebrate Christmas, more for you to enjoy! 😂✌️ get some quality time in with family n friends and stay safe bud!
It be very interesting to see if in the future they are brave enough to create their own designs. It seems like they know how to finish and make a good watch. It seems like San Martin is losing that fear and creating their own designs and I hope this Brand too.
Basically the bronze dive watch I've been waiting for for a very long time, if we keep price in mind. I think the green or, even better, the brown one is potentially ven more of a killer. Though this looks a lot better than their pictures. Thanks again for your excellent reviews man, happy holidays to you and your family. Maybe you'll release a bronze of your own one day.
I'm A sucker for a Bronze watch, I really am impressed with this one. If it's as well put together as my Cerica homage, I think I'll pick one up early next year. Happy Christmas btw.
I like the watch, but I’m just not quite into bronze watches (yet). It’s funny how 9 and DAO came out of no where and became San Martin’s top competitor. Thanks for the great review!
Hroudland did their bronze Tudor Ali Express homage version first, with a very nice brown textured fume dial. It’s a very good quality watch and seems quite similar in quality and specs. The Hroudland uses an anchor logo that mostly obscures the name- which is a good thing, as Hroudland isn’t the best branding either, but a step better to Western ears than IXDAO. IXDAO needs to go with their logo only and they’ll sell more watches. This was the case with Christopher Ward, when they went logo only on the dial, so improved branding is important beyond Ali Express, of course.
Thanks for the review. I was thinking of getting this, but held off because pictures showed different coloring between the case and the end links. From this video, it looks like they’re even, so I might get it after all.
It's a nice looking watch, but 21mm lugs are a pain, I don't think 20 would have looked too narrow. I wonder what width the clasp is, that could make finding strap options very difficult.
There's a lot more blue in that dial than in their advertising photos.. The strap is a lighter color as well. I'd like to see the green dial in a hands on photo. Thanks for the review 👍
That’s a really gorgeous watch. The font at six is the font they should use on the Thorn divers. I hope you enjoy a lovely three day weekend with buffet lunches and movies. That’s my plan ☪️
My one has a wobbly pt5000 movement on arrival, off comes the back and find its on tight but has play up and down. No biggy but its there. Also found a piece of bronze swarf inside the case so just as well l opened it up. Also fear the leather strap will wear on the bronze inserts so well waxed both ends. it is a pretty watch though and looks good on the wrist.
@@brawlfreakl0wyea, I won't bore you with why they use 9 though... Some real obscure Mongol/Yuan dynastic divine spear story haha. That little 3 pointed thing in the centre of their design is the spear head though
I’ve had one for a couple of months. It looks a mess! The strap is stained badly by the buckle. The bronze look is tarnished and just looks grubby. It loses a few minutes every day and has to be reset daily. I wouldn’t buy one again. Update: it also leaves green ‘metal’ stains on the skin of my wrist. I rate the IX&DAO brand, but this watch is awful!
Cheap chinese crap. Nothing original, nothing new. Why talking about this crap? It screams “I am poor” not because of the price, but because of the lack of originality. Some say that your watch speak about your taste… just sayin’
Check my state of the collection vids, then speak 😏 if you think that, nothing but class. But you can't write off these watches like you have, enthusiast to enthusiast, buy a high quality one then tell me. From a build quality perspective, It would compete very well with entry level swiss all day !
Why are you so mad? I would care less about a dude checking out my watch or my "style"... lol! 99% of the population wouldn't care unless you are a little snob. I have Chinese, Swiss, Italian, Singaporean and American watches that are of similar built quality and the Chinese ones offer much better quality per price and % of watch compared to everything else. Is Tudor the poor wannabe rich person watch for being Rolex homages or what?

It's a very nice watch . The dial goes perfectly with the bronze case. Excellent review Zee .
Thanks Zee... I thought I was on my own liking this one. I love it but my wife and daughter hate it haha. Merry Christmas my friend.

@@TheWatcherReviewsmy apologies.. Enjoy time with your family. 2024 is gonna be a big year for you with your watch release. It will go very well :)
@johnswatchjoint no need to apologise, John! 👍🏽 yeah I hope so, samples are being made so let's see what comes out! Thank you, appreciate the support
Well I've just bought one for £155 from you know where … and at that price i just could not resist. Great video.

Nice dimensions. Dial is nice too but misalignment is a no no. Should be sold at a discount because of flaw.
Great review of a very nice watch, first time at your channel 👏👏. Can't help but think I'd refer the watch not to discolour.
Hey, welcome! Well it is bronze so it will but if you leave it, it ages naturally but it can all be reset by soaking in some vinegar or lemon juice

IXDAO for MMXXIV....
Happy holidays bro, have a great time!
I've been keeping my eye on this for a while now. Got a bronze mm300 from heimdallr and I need more bronze!
Handsome piece. I want the brown dial.
Thanks for the review. I was thinking of getting this, but held off because pictures showed different coloring between the case and the end links. From this video, it looks like they’re even, so I might get it after all.
That's due to the bronze oxidisation. The end links are fresh, but they match up the more exposed to air
Thanks for spotting for us as always but I'm going to continue to hold fire Be well Happy Holidays and Stay Frosty 👍
are the fitted end links the same on the SH diver? it will also fit any 21mm strap?
For me the end links for the bracelet allows leather straps to look filled without that annoying gap between the watch and the strap.
It's a nice looking watch, but 21mm lugs are a pain, I don't think 20 would have looked too narrow. I wonder what width the clasp is, that could make finding strap options very difficult.

I think it will be rich like this blue, really is a high quality dial..
That’s a really gorgeous watch. The font at six is the font they should use on the Thorn divers. I hope you enjoy a lovely three day weekend with buffet lunches and movies. That’s my plan ☪️
You too man! Thank you ✌️
Thanks for the video. That is a looker. Cheers!!

Its good that you're hands on, yeh unfortunately these are types of issues u kinda get sometimes
Am I the only one who would like a bronze bracelet on this watch ?
Heimdallr has been making this exact watch for at least 3 years already.
cool looking watch
Plot twist.... They confirmed to me today it's pronounced Jiu Dao and linked me to it's history!
Oh ffs lmao 😂😂
Jiu means 9!

@@TheWatcherReviews😂
I really can't make my mind up about bronze watches. It is a lovely looking watch, though.
Thats a nice watch, nice touches, but bronze has never tempted me. Thanks for vid bro 👍 👍
Any time! Yeah you've never been a fan, steel all the way!
Blue clashes wiht the bronze.
I think it will nice with a black strap
I see on the sales page they do a dial that's half arabic and half kanji characters, never seen this before.
Yeh i mentioned it in the video
Sean Highway
Nice watch, but that bronze tuna was gross.
Please remove the sticker on the back. Thanks
Too late, the video is over !!😂😂😂
