10:50 For the quality of the watch the processes of making a historically faithful watch, along with the different steel alloy. As well, many Western brands would charge this much or more, so I think it’s pretty fair for them to ask for the same level of pricing that others do. It’s a bit ridiculous to expect them to price their watches lower simply because they are a Chinese brand. 11:26 And they are. You’re missing the entire point of this watch for a checklist.
Thanks for the review. My favorite strap is the first one you show, the tan one. I have this watch in my list and I might go for it on the next AE sale. I hope that Ixdao makes improvements before. They’re already working on a no date magnifier version but it seems that they have other bigger issues to fix.
Thanks for the great and honest review. Yours is very much like John’s review from John’s Watch Joint. At first it seems like a brilliant watch (it’s still super awesome), but there are some issues that need addressing. The QC at this price is absolutely unacceptable. It does look damn good on brown leather though. Thanks!
I did get my watches, as they were given to emile corp in Toronto, so I got them. I bought the bkack dial, then saw your video and bought the white dial as well. Both are really well done!!! Thank you for your review!!!!
Mine arrived with a totally misaligned bezel *AND* cyclops. There was zero QC done obviously. Will never buy an IX&Dao watch again and I'll likely never buy from Watchdives again. Completely soured the Chinese watch-buying experience given the money I spent here. Returning it with prejudice.
I am so sorry to hear that.. I bought 2 Ixdao already and really do appreciate their quality work. Hope you Don't give up. I am sure You will find something you love for the money that you spend. It was great buy for me.
They gotta take this exact case, thin it out to fit a Miyota 9039 and make it a black bay 54 killer. A nice midsize dive watch with a jubilee bracelet and 904l steel
Nh34 for that price is OK what is a gmt movement that can go in a watch and still be worth 300$? The miyota 9075 is more expensive and any Swiss movement will cost 200$ extra

make it 42mm and you'd have a winner!!
Too expensive but great review

Thanks bud! I really really like the watch. It’s a keeper for me. But, the issues need to be addressed and it’s my “job” to mention them.
I liked your video so.much I bought this watch to, but Canada Post went on strike, and I may never get it.
Oh man tell me about it. I have a Watchdives WD1980 stuck in Mississauga since last Friday.

That’s awesome man. I also received a recent pickup. Unfortunately, the WD1980 is still stuck. Oh well good thing I have other watches 😄
This watch could be great but too many but ….i would take the San Martin SN005 instead.
The SN005 is also a great option, but it’s a bit bigger. The 38mm size is what really drew me towards this watch.
Good review 👍🏻
They should remove the ridiculous texts and make some changes to make it more of a homage instead of a copy

They have the same factory as heimdallr. So yeah 0 QC.

I can't see any value in this overpriced homage watch with a basic NH34 movement. A few flaws and that silly text is a real no go. Good review buddy.
Thanks 🙏🏻
