Is This Addies ‘Dive’ Watch As Good As It Gets For The Money??

[@WatchtheTime]

It would appear that I got my wires a little crossed in relation to the watch this watch is homaging. I’m only human and appreciate all your comments | information. Have a great week 👍👍

[@stuartdavies7351]

Simon the back-catalogue of omega’s from the late 60’s & 70’s is vast and arguably the greatest period of watchmaking (design-wise) for many, me included. Both Steeldive and Addisdive recognise this so many of their homage pieces where dates are used instead of random numbers are all copies.

[@WatchtheTime]

I didn’t realise - many thanks for the information mate 👍👍

[@Discoworx]

The case shape on these is amazing. For that alone it has become one of my favourites.

[@WatchtheTime]

It is a stunning shape case, so I can completely understand where you are coming from mate 👍👍

[@TyreAlmasri]

As always the most thoughtful , well researched & eloquent watch channel around , keep MAMACOO coming !

[@ellardgrudzinski]

that was incredible. what a beautiful watch and what great work you did on it!MAMACOO

[@KathernClary]

MAMACOO is one of my favorite watch manufacturers they do offer beautifull dials, good workmanship & moovements.That smooth sweeping second hand is truly mesmerizing！

[@TaranehDottin]

I like the watch I got from AMZWATCH. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.

[@VitanuovaQuintero]

I have to say that AMZWATCH 's watches are amazing!

[@Box_13]

"The eyes see what the mind knows." I am sure that is why so many folks are commenting about what this is an homage of. Part of the fun of this hobby. For me, the first time I saw this design was from a microbrand called Octon. Thanks for the review.

[@WatchtheTime]

Very true mate and I think every watch should be enjoyed on it own merit 👍👍

[@misteranderson2112]

The crystal distortion is nice on this one. Gives it a cool vintage vibe. I paid $73US outside of a regular sale.

[@WatchtheTime]

It sure does mate and $73 is a crazy good score for this watch - fair play 👍👍

[@Dave062YT]

The only homage that's been done to death is the subby clone. This is another story and like it.

[@WatchtheTime]

I agree. I don’t think there is a more homaged watch than the Subby… 👍👍

[@LukeBhite]

Its a vintage Omega Seamaster 300m reference is probably 165.024 or similiar

[@WatchtheTime]

Thanks for the info mate 👍👍

[@SteelAddicted]

U r spot on with that ref number . I’m not sure if there was a 1960’s model made without the full length crown guards but the dial is a dead ringer down to the seconds hand.

[@WatchWitt]

These look crisp! Nice piece of sapphire…

[@WatchtheTime]

Am glad you like it mate. I hope you’re well 👍👍

[@adk7962]

This watch is brilliant and possibly the best bang for buck AliExpress Watch out there. It’s vintage design from the 60’s so I think even the most ardent haters of Homages aren’t probably too fussed. Thanks for the great review!

[@WatchtheTime]

I think you’re bang on and given the fact that I didn’t even know what the original watch was, says a lot but that’s probably my age. Many thanks for watching mate 👍👍

[@adk7962]

@@WatchtheTime Whoa whoa now. I’m not that old. I believe this came out in 1967. I won’t be born for another 10 years! 😅. The only reason I know is another reviewer of the Watchdives version mentioned the watch it is homaging. Both are absolute bangers.

[@WatchtheTime]

@adk7962 sorry man, I didn’t mean to insinuate you was, apologies 😢 unfortunately I watch very few other watch reviews, just don’t get the time but thanks for the info 👍👍

[@DaksheshCorado]

MAMACOO 's watch really surprises me！

[@RicardoValdes-r6w]

Excellent channel excellent host with outstanding work - reviews every single time. Your friend and fan.!! Rick in Florida USA Thank you my blessed friend for the care and positive spirit you provide with first class quality..!!

[@WatchtheTime]

Many thanks Rick, I really appreciate your kind words and support 👍👍

[@RicardoValdes-r6w]

@ Excellence classification and qualifications can only be observed in the remarkable minds that are aligned with the right frame of how a man thinks and the way a man proceeds. An active mind is that produces and bares fruit for others to learn and apply that of value. In my opinion the mind of Christ that is activated is the perfect mindset but only very few people have it through growth and maturity. I see such rare quality in you my friend, you are moving forward and reaching new heights to a degree, level in which hopefully many can look up to and apply for themselves.. proud of the way your channel and presentations with your humble spirit that is your compass to maintaining the priority which is from a baseline of not style but indeed of a noble approach. . .

[@WatchtheTime]

@RicardoValdes-r6w ah thanks mate, I really appreciate that - top man 👍👍

[@ccampbell1117]

I think it’s a homage of a discontinued Omega , which was homaged by another brand which is discontinued , I believe , so it’s ok . I’ve ordered one so let’s hope it’s a good homage 😁 . Helson is the other one that a viewer has referenced below , so that’s a homage so it’s ok . I think the case has been repurposed from the AD2101 which I have so will confirm that when it arrives . Thanks for the review.

[@WatchtheTime]

Thanks for the info mate and I also think you’re right on the repurposed case. Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@marcuschamp1460]

...... very glad I pre-ordered the new Helson Sharkmaster 300 ( now with Miyota 9039 movement ) , should be delivered in November ....... yes it is more expensive than an Addiesdive but if you are gonna get a homage to the Seamaster 300 the Helson is the bees knees ..........

[@WatchtheTime]

I’ve never heard of Helson, I’ll be sure to look them up, thanks and enjoy your new watch (when it arrives) 👍👍

[@birdshenanigans8506]

Hope you feel much better Bud. ❤ ADDIESDIVE... i own 2, and never have i once regretted buying them. 👍🇬🇧❤

[@WatchtheTime]

Nice one mate and I’m pleased you’re enjoying yours - long may it continue 👍👍

[@watchsixto]

That is a lot of watch for the price mate and I'm surprised they can sell for that cheap

[@WatchtheTime]

I think so mate and it’s crazy how they can do it for such an affordable price, especially in this day and age 👍👍

[@chriskelly509]

It's on my list

[@WatchtheTime]

Nice one mate 👍👍

[@guidine7]

This should have on the fly adjustment

[@WatchtheTime]

Perhaps, but perhaps a little unreasonable given the price. Thanks for the suggestion though 👍👍

[@konww002]

Would you compare this to the Watchdives’ version?

[@WatchtheTime]

Possibly but first/last Watchdives was really, really disappointing. Let’s see 👍👍

[@astrobusa]

Another nice piece marred by the awful branding and logo. WatchDives recently updated to a much simpler and nicer logo and they've dropped the "word" branding altogether. Lets hope the other Chinese makers follow this example. (I'm also looking at you Tactical Frog.... and others.) Nice review. Thanks !

[@WatchtheTime]

Let’s see if they look to change this in the future mate. As you say, many other brands have made the correct changes, let’s see 👍👍

[@gabelov]

Hi Simon ! So you grow the hair and shave the beard now ? New watch, new style 😉

[@WatchtheTime]

Indeed 🤣 It was more, I couldn’t be bothered to get my hair cut so shaved the beard, laziness really mate 👍👍

[@gabelov]

@@WatchtheTime 😉👍

[@bifflee3603]

So what is the micro brand it's paying homage to?? I don't think you can really moan about ghost date positions when the watch is so cheap - if it was over £200 then fair enough imo

[@WatchtheTime]

I couldn’t say mate, as it’s something I never really mention. I take your point on price though 👍👍

[@morgan.enfield]

It does not pay homage to a micro brand but to the wonderful Omega Seamaster 300 Ref 165.024 who was in production between 1964 and 1970

[@toddjohnson5506]

A waffle strap is the way to go with this watch. I found the watch on eBay for under $95.

[@WatchtheTime]

Sounds like a great combo mate - enjoy 👍👍

[@TXLogic]

The logo is horrible but the name is enough to be a dealbreaker. No way I’ll wear a watch with that grotesque name. Changing their name to “AD” or the like would be a massive improvement. As for your question: what does it even meant to say that a watch is an homage of an homage? Don’t we rather have TWO homages to the original?

[@WatchtheTime]

Am sorry you feel that. Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@michaelmyers4176]

Bro this isn’t an homage to a micro brand. It is an homage to an Omega Seamaster 300 from the late 60s. I understand you are young and are just getting into watches. Just saying do a small bit of research before posting a review.

[@WatchtheTime]

Indeed. Thanks for the info mate 👍👍

[@tonydilucente2342]

There is no reason to buy this watch. Nothing new, nothing special, and that awful logo...

[@WatchtheTime]

No problem mate - many thanks for watching 👍👍
