DIDUN nautilus homage - Bargain of the year!

[@Ian-ij4of]

I bought the same watch this morning. Can't wait for the watch, it looks amazing 😊

[@EscapeWheel]

Enjoy it!

[@Ian-ij4of]

@EscapeWheel ..Ha, they sent me a Poedagar watch which is a poor copy of the Didun watch, Ali Express kinda ripped me off as I paid Didun money 💰 ...gutted😢

[@jcs5436]

I got a tandorio automatic (NH35) 100m waterproof,sapphire glass,stainless steel case and strap, good lume for 68 €.

[@thecheapwatchchap9554]

Great review. Was pleased to see it does look like steel as stated. At the price Im amazed. Thinking of getting one of these and maybe going over the top with rose gold! Loud proud....and cheap!

[@EscapeWheel]

Yup, and they have added a green dial too, so I'm tempted to pick one up as well

[@waris3732]

This is a great budget watch! You should consider the Pladen version. It's dial seems better to me hence I went for it and cheaper too

[@EscapeWheel]

Yes, that was another one I was eyeing. They are probably the same watch with a different name. If you are happy with yours maybe I'll snag one in the future.

[@waris3732]

@@EscapeWheel yes I am. The dial just looks much better I think

[@TheSpritz0]

I've got the PLADEN in two-tone, everyone thinks it's a PATEK!!!

[@bossbattles2356]

i have the pladen too but the brushing is just horrible compared to the didun.

[@RicardoDelgadoHerbert]

I have it but in the automatic version (seagull) it is very beautiful, could you talk about the automatic version?

[@EscapeWheel]

I've heard good things but I try not to comment on watches I haven't handled.

[@MisterBenne]

First I was little shocked. Diameter with Bezel already 40mm, so seemed the true dial is small. Not so well for me. But then seen on your wrist, and your arm seems not thin either, and looked suddenly not bad. I will think about to get one maybe

[@EscapeWheel]

Yeah, it actually wears really nice.

[@mikesmith5389]

Shame about the purple dial but at that price can't complain especially with the polished chamfer edges on the watch and the bracelet which are a nice touch.

[@EscapeWheel]

In person it's blue, but the cameras pick it up as purple-ish. No purple in real life.

[@SteveFWatches]

I picked up a white dial and love it. Not the most comfortable bracelet and maybe it's because I have small wrists (6.7) but it looks really good

[@EscapeWheel]

I wondered how it would conform to smaller wrists...there is VERY little flex the the first 4 links. it does look a treat though

[@emilpopov4736]

My wrist is 6.4inch and I'm confused

[@space.cowboyyyyy]

can you make a review?

[@marcelovasconcellos6067]

Great review thanks! Do you still have it? If you do, I imagine the Myota movement is fine, but has the rest held up well? Also, if you, dial, hands, finishing is good for the price, or good irrespective of price? Same quality of those items more or less the same as say on the Addiesdive Sub homage quartz diver? Thanks in advance.

[@EscapeWheel]

I let this go a while back... But going to pick up a green one I think. Dial has some marks on it, siren in the video... But otherwise it was great for the price, same either the indices and hands. Addie's I think is still a nicer dial but this has the better bracelet.

[@marcelovasconcellos6067]

@@EscapeWheel thanks a lot!

[@holgermuller3597]

Nice vid, as always, thanks for that! I have been looking for a nice Nautilus Hommage for quite some time now. I am very excited by this DIDUN. But , as always, what about the length of the bracelet? Did you remove any link? So, will it fit to my 8.5 inch wrist? Go on 👍

[@EscapeWheel]

it'll be close. I removed a couple links at least. you may be able to request more links on purchase.

[@mizanurrahman-yt5et]

When you buy a cheap Watch, always go for the quartz version.

[@watchhobbywithdannythemedic]

I had this, but I cant do watches with metal bracelets and no tooless adjust.

[@GunGuy258]

Lol. It's $35.00 not gonna get tooless adjustment for that price.

[@Dondaddyh]

Hi Steve, I’ve seen your phyilida homage vid , this one , have seen the Bliger? Which do you think is the best please

[@EscapeWheel]

I haven't yet seen the bliger, unfortunately. May need to get one in

[@rohanbandechha9081]

Can u change the length of the bracelet for small wrist people

[@EscapeWheel]

Unfortunately I don't have this one any more (had to clear space) so I can't check the smallest setting. Be aware of the stiffness of the bracelet though. My guess is anything under 6.5" wrist, it'll become a problem

[@f1palaz]

Hi All. Didun or Spetch&Sohne which Nautilus has better quality? I need to decide🤔

[@EscapeWheel]

Haven't had hands on the S&S but I'd still probably go that route.

[@eugenevedensky6071]

Curious what tool did you size this with?

[@EscapeWheel]

Just the little hammer thing and a small pin tool from my "watchmaker" kit.

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

It's called a vernier caliper

[@johnharris4600]

Hello, My One just come in the Mail and you are absolutely right this is a Bargain [ i paid $58.00 AUD ], I Too was Blown away how with the quality and Finish considering the price i mean i would have been happy at $150 AUD . Yes Lovely Watch ,Looks Great on my 7.5 inch wrist Glad i Saw This one on your Review

[@EscapeWheel]

Happy I could help! Enjoy it!

[@johnharris4600]

@@EscapeWheel I'm just on your website now looking for a pilot watch, Phylida make some very nice ones have you reviewed one or what would you think of them , or do you have any suggestions John

[@EscapeWheel]

@@johnharris4600 I haven't reviewed a Phylida pilots....I'd look hard at Addie's/steeldive pilots. Want to go a little nicer? San Martin has some for around $150-160. Even nicer? Cronos has a really nice one.

[@johnharris4600]

@@EscapeWheel thank you for your reply much appreciated 👍💯

[@EscapeWheel]

@@johnharris4600 any time man....and I just came up with another....escapement time. They should definitely be on your radar. Not sure how I forgot about them 🤦

[@ignacyfolusz8844]

You win! Ordered one...

[@EscapeWheel]

Haha, hope you are blown away like I was.

[@ignacyfolusz8844]

Maybe review an explorer II homage? Nobody really reviewed them and I think pagani has 1.

[@EscapeWheel]

I'm looking for the right one still. 42mm seems big for that watch. Pagani and Bliger (I prefer bligers ) are both on my radar, though.

[@ignacyfolusz8844]

@@EscapeWheel According to Rolex it is 42mm, atleast the modern ones are. Thanks !

[@affinity7193]

I have a 5.5 inch wrist will it cause some problems trying to fit this? (I know my wrist is very small you don’t have to tell me)

[@trevorstepoo8838]

Where can I get this watch for that price 30 plus dollars?

[@EscapeWheel]

Link in the description. Use the $8 off coupon and the current sales. Should get you close

[@gevorgsimonyan7717]

it says that its not available anymore any idea if I can still get it?

[@EscapeWheel]

Still available from other sellers. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AlTrjz

[@i.michailov]

Is it still working?

[@EscapeWheel]

Yes

[@FilipNikodijevic]

There is a watch named Wotesen, looks the same as didun but somehow is 9mm thin. Can you try to order and review it

[@EscapeWheel]

yes, I have seen that one. I've heard good things..they are probably the same watch just branded differently. I wouldn't trust the listing's 9mm. I typically don't buy duplicate watches often, but this one is so cheap I may do it. I have reached out to the seller to see if they would provide a review unit. I'll let you know what they say.

[@FilipNikodijevic]

@@EscapeWheel Cool. Just saw a review of wotesen on youtube and its 9.4mm thick measured by calipers. Shame its not available anymore in silver color, only rose gold.

[@ivdee]

I can’t seem to find this on ali express U.K. I’ve found the didun website but it’s £150 on there ? Hope you can help

[@Meow-ee9zo]

Same problem here, seems fishy

[@trevorstepoo8838]

These sellers on eBay should be banned for trying to rip people off

[@ignacyfolusz8844]

Has anyone seen one like this, but without the seconds hand? Would be great in quartz.

[@EscapeWheel]

I haven't, but it would be a pretty simple mod to do.

[@trevorstepoo8838]

They're charging from 200 to $700 on eBay for the same watch. Same brand name DIDUN I'm wondering are these eBay sellers jacking up the prices on these watches the cheapest one on eBay is around $100, not the $33 you talking about

[@EscapeWheel]

Yes, 100% price jacking. Didun make nice watches, but I wouldn't pay over $75 for any of them....lol. $700?.... give me a break 😂

[@emilpopov4736]

Wow 😲

[@EscapeWheel]

$33 😜

[@tmassey1465]

Thieves they took my money but never sent out product. Waited 2 months before I took action for a full refund from Paypal as there was never a response from Didun.

[@EscapeWheel]

Wow, sorry to hear that. I had no issues with them

[@odedkomy2300]

Bought this on AliExpress after watching this review. By far the worst watch I have ever bought anywhere. Full of dirt, dust and broken indices. The bracelet is not stainless steel and so is the case. Those scammers pay KZbinrs to give you a false review or send them watches that are l totally different than reality. Be warn. This is a scam.

[@EscapeWheel]

I purchased this watch without them knowing I was a reviewer and gave my honest review. Maybe they pulled the ol switcheroo, maybe you just got a lemon.

[@onefive8859]

From which seller did you purchase this from on AliExpress?

[@GEMSofGOD_com]

It's absolute garbage
