Final note about the lume. My seiko 7002-7000 diver the lume is faded and weak but it has such a vintage patina look, I like it.

Big fan of small divers. In fact, I’d say we need more 34/35/36/37mm divers. A lot more. Thanks for the review! 🙏

Yes, smaller diver is closer to vintage size. I have collected many watches and most are 32 to 36 mm hits the sweet spot for me. As I have a smaller wrist. Thank you for this content. I ordered this watch mainly because of size. Have a Steeldive mas 62, 42 mm just a little large, but wears nice with strap.

I have an 8"0 wrist and I sometimes wear 36mm watches. They are dress watches though. I think this at 38mm is not bad at all! This cream is beautiful! Goes to show you how much watch you can get for a very affordable price! I hear you on the logo. Pick one!!! Nice Squale btw! Hope you have a great weekend Chris!

I got one in the Nov sale £36 all in for the cream with rubber, chuffed to bits, most divers back in the 70s were that size or even smaller unless you count the sat's but that's more the 80s Tuna's ect.

It’s nice to see a diver under 42mm, a bit of a value gem, thanks for watching

I always avoided this watch because of the bad lume but after watching you're review I think its worth buying one to mod with better hands. It looks like a nice set if aftermarket 62 Mas hands might work. The smaller watch size really appeals to me. I've got big wrists but sometimes I want a smaller more vintage size watch.

I like the idea of better hands but having gorilla sized wrists makes modding a challenge…. Thanks for watching

I’ve got the grey version I’m really impressed with it had it about 3 months got it a on a NATO strap bezel moves occasionally whilst working but I will be buying the sunburst blue version when I next see it for decent price

I stuck mine in on the tan leather strap and whilst that inhibits the Diver aspect, it looks sensational. Thanks for watching

Being as I own a BB58 I'm obviously with you in the 'smaller' dive watch camp. It would be great if all of the 'Ali x ' watch producers gave the option of a Sterile Dial , a few do but not many. This has always been a gripe with me as it is so easy to wreck a dial by going over the top , and lets be honest in saying that a fair few of the brand names are ridiculous to say the least. A logo on the clasp is enough for me unless its subtley done on the dial. Ah ! so it is Cream and not White as it says on the listing , pity as I'm a sucker for a White dial and this would have been an ideal 'beer money' workshop piece. Nice fair review, cheers.
@gorillasinthewrist6 ай бұрын
It’s definitely not white…. The only brands I could find with a smaller dive were Invicta, Tissot Hamilton and Omega, there must be more surely? Thanks for watching

@@gorillasinthewrist There is a homage !. I've been looking at this for an eternity ha ha. Seestern 62MAS. 37mm case 38mm Bezel which is as close to the OG that you are going to get. I'm still tempted, maybe the next sale but we will see. Edit, Longines Legend Diver comes in a 36mm variation, a tad over Ali prices mind ha ha.

I own this Cadisen in the same dial colour. So well finished and made. The only poor thing it the lume. But is finished very nicely and for the money 11 out of 10. Just imagine if they fixed the lume and AR.

Love cream dials, but sadly, most brands - right across the price spectrum - seem to confine them to everything bar divers. Liking this.

I would have preferred it with a bracelet. The 38mm size would work perfectly with my extra-thin wrists. They should have gone with the company name and not the logo.
@gorillasinthewrist6 ай бұрын
Normally I would too, the rubber strap is decent, but it’s not 38mm, the bezel is 37mm and the case 36mm, so I suspect would be perfect on smaller wrists. Thanks for watching
