Snobs who try to make themselves sound knowledgeable and cultured are laughable and not worth any respect. FO. Rolex is the ripoff here. They charge far, far, far more than they are worth.

Im doing the same as well.

"It works, it's been keeping excellent time, it's solid, it feels great, the bezel is cool, it's got incredible lume" ~Steeldive v2 $69 online "It works, it's been keeping excellent time, it's solid, it feels great, the bezel is cool, it's got incredible lume" ~Rolex $15000

All of the chinese brands are made by the exact same factory , maybe some of the models are exclusively made for one brand like san martin, but they are esentially the same watch

But Tudor isn't a costume jewelry knock-off though? Aren't they ripping off Rolex, too? Funny how a name brand makes it ok??? You have no clue.

Hello, thank you for your presentation, obviously it has nothing to do with a Rolex I admit I don't understand the comparison even from afar, it says steeldive. On the other hand, I would have liked to understand the general quality of this inexpensive little watch with a nice look, starting with the quality of the assembly of the NH35 and the water resistance... probably a few meters to allow water sport or not.. .

The Magnification on the Cyclops is just too much. It ruins the Balance.

Condesention from Georgia, pretty much go figure. Bet you bought a trump bible. Ya in your neck of ye woods people dont steal right? And all that time wasted ... you tell us nothing.

My wife and I got Rolexes for our anniversary. She seemingly has no problem going out while covered in literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of “stuff”, from earrings to handbag, whereas I feel awkward wearing a thousand dollar watch, let alone a ten thousand dollar watch. I’m always hyper conscious of getting it damaged, dirty, or stolen. I love how the watch feels and looks but I have no desire to display wealth or status, so I can’t wrap my head around just hanging something of such value out in the open like that. If I can still enjoy everything I like about the Submariner without the worry, sign me up.

I don't get your point of the rambling. When was the last time you got such good value from anywhere for anything? It's a well crafted case containing a robust NH35 movement for $100 - it'd be at least $500+ if it was Seiko branded. As for "homage", the Swiss do it too, if you're unfamiliar with the hype surrounding the Snoopy MoonSwatch which is a piece of plastic junk that's trading at 4X MSRP.

To be honest I feel safer it saying Steeldive on mine.

Man, the only crime I see here is Rolex charging $15k for one of these when these homages are exposing it costs 100x less to make them 😂

I’m reading through all my old diaries now, I’d be mortified if my children read them. I’m liking the process of reading through one, reminiscing then burning it. Very cleansing

Hello, I have a Rolex 16610, 2005. I also have a Steeldive 1953, it cost £40, free postage and arrived in the UK within a week. It keeps great time. I wear it when I am doing jobs where it might get damaged. Ged.

Thanks Tim! I really do enjoy all the fun! Thanks for the shout out in the “Strehmmm”

Thank you for the promo! Glad you been enjoying the shows 😅

It is what it is.

we need an update

Great Video and Comment ! Is this the Pan Am Shuttle ? Can you get the watch in Titanium (Ti) ? Also for the movie Pan Am gave out Reservations for the Pan Am Shuttle for PR ! ! ! tjl

Not a rip off after all that time. Who cares? Most people don’t care or don’t know.

Surely the Rip Off is that Rolex get away with 10k dollars for their Blancpain 50 fathoms copy.

Good God we know it’s a rip off. What else is it? You say will you get what you get well what do you get? You never say. What kind of crystal? What’s the movement? Are you answer No questions in this video.

Thing is that people who can only dream about wearing a Rolex can own something that performs at say 85% of one for , as you say $100 . That’s never going to affect Rolex sales because most people who can afford them wouldn’t be seen dead wearing a Steeldive , it means that the dreamers can look at their wrist and enjoy their $100 investment and maybe buy something similar when the have save up.

Its better than a Rolex. I can wear it everyday everywhere. My Swiss watches remain in the drawer most of the time. I don't want to get killed for a stupid watch.

What’s the difference between the steeldive 1953 and a Rolex submariner apart from the price and bragging rights?

You win first prize for most inane homage watch review in the 21st century. Congratulations!

Man you killed me at 3:58 ... 😂😂👍

It's in no way a rip off of the 1980's submariner. The 5-digit reference subs were much smaller, had hollow end links, aluminium bezels. It's a homage of the current 126610 41mm submariner but with superior fully lumed bezel (objectively superior functionality - looks are subjective), and a 20mm lug (as apposed to Rolex 21mm), which you'll find of 99% of enthusiasts prefer since 20mm straps are waaay more common. The things said in this video can only be explained by the Dunning-Kruger effect.

It's funny just how many Rolex Submariner owners are buying Steeldives because they don't want to wear their expensive timepieces for fear of damage, theft and personal harm, and then end up thinking - WTF do I want this Rolex if it's just sitting in a box and I never wear it, then they end up selling the Rolex. It's hilarious and I support it fully.

i love san martin

I stopped watching your video because you laugh it off as a copy. Isn't that exactly what a homage is? We get that it isn't a rolex. Your spending too much time pointing that out. Just review it as it is.

Your misunderstanding The Terms Homage And Fake And you forgot to mention the Saphire crystal and ceramic bezel and great movement! your way off! If you dont apppreciate it,sell ot to me for 60 percent off!

I’ve just ordered one. I can’t afford a Rolex and if I had the money, I would rather give something to my daughters or do some house improvements for £13K ‼️

Out of all my watches in my collection I have two everyday go to more then others. Its that one you have the SD1953 and my Pagani 1762 V2. I get more compliments on those two then even much more expensive watches in my collection. The quailty on both is insane for what I paid around $70-80 each.

Ягідки , ви наші сонечки , чоловік на цимбалах дав фантастичний саунд 👍

I think many of the homages are not stocked domestically. Probably a tactic Rolex finds hard to counter. Powerful entities like Rolex, right or wrong, have the $$ to battle in court. They have every intention to cause financial pain. Maybe one of these days all the homage type makers will join forces to combat the Crown. 😮

I have so many Rolex sub homages that my watch box looks like it belongs to a crazy person. Believe it or not they sell fake Rolex’s still called super clowns costing up to $1,000 but you need to lose all respect for yourself to buy one.

I think its important to remember that the the wheat market is not what it used to be. But still

Quit hating. It's a quality watch.

You are an assXole. Just because the model number is an SD1953 does not mean that SteelDive is calling it a Rolex 1953 homage.

No patent on the Rolex sub design now. Allows many to get the look of a classic without the worry of being robbed for it. Alot for not alot.

Thanks for sharing. It’s too bad Levy Jewelers couldn’t keep their Rolex authorized dealership.

Hello my friend! beautiful watch. I just purchased the normal one (non-chronograph) :). Can you please explain me the 2001 Space Odyssey relation with this watch? Why it was a "signal" for you to purchase it?

Why come on here wearing a cheap but nice Casio watch in order to slate a watch that many people own and appreciate? When I first got into collecting watches, I was unaware that this submariner design was "exclusive to Rolex", (which apparently, it is not...) I like my watches, and this design in particular. It's just plain snobbery to refer to good quality watches as costume jewellery or rip offs/copies. We all like nice things. Let's enjoy what we can afford...Enjoy your Casios and your Rolex. Nice watches

I'm in my 50s now, and I looked at some of these old love letters from old high school flames. I cringed when I read most of them; was about to throw them in the camp fire, but I stopped myself because, even though they were cringeworthy, it showed the growth I've made since my tumultuous teens and twenties, and even thirties! I have so much trouble getting rid of these old letters/old painful journals. I think I feel like I might want to read them again to...again, see the nice transformation I made in my life... I feel like maybe the older I get that my memory won't work as good, and I'd like another reminder of how I've done well. What to do? My goodness! Then I tell myself, "I'd hate for my nieces to read this after my death. So if I keep this stuff, when do I throw it out? ...when I have terminal diagnosis? Such strange pull of back and forth with these sentimental letters and journals? Suggestions are so welcome 🙂 I need it!

Does your Steeldive Submariner Homage still work in 2023??? If they do work, then they are worth the USD100 dollars.

I have a couple of Steeldive watches, both divers, both auto’s. ( a Tudor hulk homage and a Blankpain Fifty Fathoms homage ) They are fantastic quality, beautifully built, heavy watches for the money - great value

I went on opening weekend, Friday at 3pm in a sold out theater here in Florida... loved it. I'm 65, and estimate that I might have been in the lower 25% age wise for the audience. Older people will go out to the movies if you give them some adult subject matter. One thing that I did right... knowing that it was 3 hours, not counting the previews, I deliberately got to a slightly dehydrated state and did multiple bathroom trips before sitting down in my perfect seat. There are no "slow" minutes to leave the theater for the restroom. Even the benign conversations can set up the next scene, so you don't want to miss anything. I'm happy to say I made it the whole 3-plus hours.
