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.

Oh, i have this model and its one of my favs watches, looks so great on my ~20cm wrist. And this dial looks more like birch, not glacier

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 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!

Great and honest review Shane like alaways,if we are speaking about special white diver dial combine with the Willard shape case I think that the addiesdive AD2117 model is way better value with terrific look and you can find it on sale between 55-70$ price range

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

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.

To know that such a watch exists - but paying 1.300 Euros for a Seiko...Well, that could be the reason for NASA to search for intelligent life in outer space . Never mind, honest review, Shane, thanks for that 👍👍👍

I have paid as much as 1800 for a Seiko and grand a medical degree, bachelors in pharmacology, masters in neuroscience and multiple post graduate diplomas. I have also published peer reviewed scientific articles and organised teaching programmes on a national scale. Please don't insult intelligent people with your idiotic comments.

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.

Good review and comparison. I would prefer a Marine Master Reduced homage than the Willard, maybe Watchdives will make one in future.

@curtisbrown7991 6 ай бұрын

@RelativeTime 6 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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.

Seiko did put out a mini and slim versions of the turtles. So maybe they will do a smaller Willard some day. Or if not, maybe someone like San Martin.

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.

@RelativeTime 6 ай 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.
