Congrats! I would flip through the days and make sure they are all centered while under warranty.

Upon drawing my first CWC from the QM stores in the 80s, nobody taught me how to apply the strap but I figured it out in under second.....🤔

If this watch is yours, why do you try it with gloves and don't remove the plastic? It does not make any sense.

Thank you for this tutorial. Im loving the Nato strap on my watch. This threading method ensures that even if one spring bar fails, the watch will remain securely attached to the wearer's wrist.

Jesus 🙄

Great, great, great watch. Without a doubt the best VFM out there. Tank-like construction and unbeatable movement. Just wish it was a tad bit smaller. At 41/42mm it would be perfect.

Just an update: I watched this video years ago and got to know Sinn. I own a Sinn 556i and a Sinn 104 pilot for a few years now and they will be forever part of my collection. The 556 makes an excellent tool/field watch; I swap between the H-link and multiple other military type or nato straps. With the 104, I have the H-link version, but prefer to wear it with a good leather band...with its bidirectional steel bezel, arabic dial and syringe hands....it feels incredibly historic! (forget about the cheap 'ol ceramic bezels!) Truly like a German flieger pilot watch. Both of these watches you could get used with the H-link for approximately $1200. Comes with top-grade COSC equivalent movements. I highly recommend it.

Mine arrived to today in the same packaging. I like it! I paid $244 for mine. If one is looking for a cheaper dive watch they should look at the Casio Duro which is nice but I like the Citizen better.

Congratulations

The strap isn’t comfortable at first, but it wears in nicely after awhile. I didn’t like it at first, but it grew on me

Absolutely gorgeous watch!

i recently bought the same watch, lume is there in on the bezel.

Great watch ,who cares if it looks like a Royal

Great watch ,who cares if it looks like a Royal

Bought this watch 2 years ago ,still love it, keeps great time and still looks great ,really happy

A thousand USD? Wtf? I'm paying double that if I want one and I'm closer to where it's made how is this fair

Best tutorial on the KZbins...

I just inherited my father's Rolex 16013 purchased in 1986.

You are absolutely right you just fall in love with the SKX. I always find it funny when people say its spec isn’t upto par with today’s offerings. Well obviously this is an older classic diver now it’s like say a classic Ferrari just doesn’t stand up spec wise with a modern sports car. You don’t buy an SKX for the specs solely it’s for all the other characteristics that make it special. I’ve had my 007 and 009 for years on the super comfy stock jingle jangle jubilee. So glad I resisted the temptation to mod it like everyone was doing back in the day. I paid $180 for my 007 and $190 009 all from Long Island Watch. I now have a Breitling Colt 41, Rolex Explorer, Tudor BB58, Hamilton KK, Tissot Visodate and a few quartz Chronograph from Seiko and I can say there something very special about the wear , look , and feel of the SKX. It will never leave my collection.

I love mine.

Well done, this is too complicated for many. I tuck the tail end under instead of over at the end. It tidies it up nicely. This is how I wear my Hamilton Navy model, the NATO strap is a perfect complement to the watch.

New to your channel. I just inherited my first Rolex 16013 watch that's over 37 years old now from my father after he passed... No clue what it's worth. My father did wear this watch everywhere proudly. My stepmother made sure he saved the original receipt from 1986 where he purchased it.

A little late to the party but the bracelets for the U family are standard 316L, not the same U-boat steel as the case. Awesome watch nevertheless.

Idk what case size I want. I like 43-44mm watches, but have heard these watches wear bigger then their size. What size wrist do you have? The 41mm looks great. Thanks, great video.

Thank you for your service! That crown is messing with me - I hope you don’t keep it out like that all the time.

Hi Tobi, can you provide link where can I purchase this watch online

Is that sapphire?

Thank you for posting this great review. 38mm is too small for your wrist? How large is your wrist because mine is 6-3/4” (17mm) and I feel it’s a bit too large as my perfect size is my 36mm Rolex Explorer 114270. It looks PERFECT on your wrist. I have the same strap. It will break in and soften after a few days.

I hate the way the excess strap has to be looped back over. It looks ugly.

Nice seiko

Love your review on the watch

Can you do a butterfly deployment clasp next ?

Thank you! This was incredibly helpful 🙏

This is actually a re-issue of a 1980’s 1521. It was a rare model called the Squale 500. It's definitely not limited in any way.

I'm jealous!😂

Awesome collection. That first squale. There is no between the 79 and 80s. Haha, it’s one or the other! ❤ awesome watch though, small watches have never been an issue for me, oversized watches however, I just can’t wear. These midsize watch are great gifts for my wife who is also into watches. You can get these at amazing prices. Sometimes I live vicariously through her! That second squale….be still my beating heart!!!

You bought it only a month ago and you already have ugly scratches on the bezel 😟

How big is your wrist?

This timepiece had a run from 1989-2008 so there have been 2 newer iterations since that were not the DeepSea. It’s a phenomenal Rolex as I’m fortunate to have the last year 2008 of the 16600 and 2016 116600.

Nice video! I see this three years later, but here I sit with exact the same watch on the wrist. Yeah, I love it too, it's my quartz Speedmaster. Will get the white version (no chrono) tomorrow and look very much forward to it. Thanks for sharing your nice thoughts!

Reminds me of the Blancpain Barrakuda

Theyre not under 1600 as of today. More like 1950.00 before tax.. but worth it

Have you had any durability issues? Specifically has your bezel developed any play?

I just received this watch and love it, the size is not a problem on my 7.4 inch wrist it wears really compact and feels great on both the leather and Nato, i do prefer the Nato! I've got a collection of swiss and Japanese watches, and you dont really tell that its beating (sweeping) slower. This is one of my favourites at the minute and has 80 hours power reserve! Any way great review mate i bought this watch because of the reviews yours being one. 😊

What's your wrist size?

Thanks for providing the video. Unfortunately I am installing it the same way as you and that third buckle on the lower/second strap really detracts from the watch. I am considering cutting it off.

I had my eye on this reference for a couple of years and finally got on. I was not disappointed, for me the dial is the main attraction plus I also love the bezel!

A tool watch for a watch tool.

VERY GOOD
