I bought a Heimdallr Willard ($65.00)before I knew what a homage watch was. I was impressed with the quality for the price. I might have to look into this brand.

No no yours is way better, if you want one even more economical the Addiesdive or Steeldive are very good, but the Heimdallr is 2 steeos above imo.

I have this exact watch but I got it with an Amazon gift card on the Amazon site. So simple and fast shipping. I have taken my watch to countless waterparks and splashpads etc. with my toddlers and this watch has been perfect. Watchdives is better than Pagani maybe a hair better than SteelDive..imho

Other than a few $300-$500 Seiko Tunas all I have bought for the past three years have been Seiko and Rolex homages with a few influenced by other brands. I like the three turtle patterns and the NH35 Tuna models but am now adding a few 39mm models. All great value for the price although San Martin and Steeldives are drifting higher. Addiesdive has some terrific releases this year. Good review of this 6105. Ordered one tonight.

I've got the green WD version of this and i've got to say it's become one of my most worn watches. Really love the comfort and look of it and it runs pretty much at 0 secs per day. Honestly it keeps better time than my Swiss watches. Looks like this white model is joining the collection. Really very nice looking watch. How can you go wrong when the OG Seiko is $2100aud and i can buy this for $136aud??? Great review as always Shane.

I have the black dial version of this watch on a FKM Tropic. Cheapest watch I own and probably one of my favorites. I personally will use Watchdives going forward versus AliExpress. I know I sound like a paid advertisement, but they really surprised me. Thanks for the great review! Baby got Case!

Well, there is a big difference in the quality between an entry-level diver and their more premium ones. Unfortunately, the one thing they skimped on was lume. (if you watch the review, you'll see what I mean). Not as good as a basic turtle or monster.

It be interesting to see. For some reason, the Marine Master Reduced case doesn't get near the respect or recognition as Seiko's other cases, but I think it's the best one they make.

I've bought three watches from Watchdives, but they were all more expensive. San Martin watches. Watchdives shipping was great. As for this watch, i decided after buying a Steeldive Willard a couple of years ago that i really don't like the case shape even though it does wear decently for its size.

WatchDives' customer service is excellent. Shipping is almost Star Trek transporter quick, okay, maybe a slight exaggeration. Both watches I purchased were from their pre-owned section. The watches were pretty much like new, super clean and have been running phenomenally. Nice, working the Sir Mix-A-Lot line in.

This watch looks off to me. Over the last couple of years I've bought several of these and very few have been keepers. It's really easy to say these look as good as a higher tier Seiko in a video. Once in hand though you might feel differently. San Martin May be the only exception I've found.
@RelativeTimeАй бұрын
San Martin is excellent. With this one (like I said in the video), it feels a more flat then my Seiko. The indices aren't as tall, and the hands seem flatter.
