Thansk Josh! What a cracker of a watch by Scurfa. Niceley done, but definitely not a hardcore tool watch like their older models. Can't blame them for wanting a piece of the everyday pie though eh? Cheers, Jody

[@scurfawatches]

Very enjoyable video, many thanks! It took two years for me to get this watch the way I wanted it and everything is made specific. I can only apologise about shipping costs, we find DHL the most cost effective and reliable but at the minute we are subsidising shipping due to the fuel surcharges applied.

[@ajcallaway123]

👏 good on you. Love my diver one and looking forward to my next Scurfa, can't wait to see what's up next

[@SingleTrackMined]

Just received my OG Diver-1 this week. I must've gotten one of the last ones. Thank you for a great watch. It is exactly what I was looking for.

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Thanks for watching Mr Scurfa! Nice watch.

[@anthonysmithyman372]

At last a Paul Scurfa watch, he lives just up the road from me in Sunderland, a true 'in house' company! Great watches!

[@andylow01]

I’ve got a D1 titanium and I bloody love it! Easily my favourite diver!

[@pauldelarzac615]

Bought the TS about a year ago. Love it. Perfect size. Good movement and has become my daily driver. Rate them super high!! Great communication with Paul Scurfield as well. I thought about sending you mine,Jodi, but the shipping cost from canada is ridiculous 😮

[@ajcallaway123]

I love my Scurfa Diver 1. Solid piece, great daily. Love the case on this treasure seeker, would love to see that with a different dial/hand sets. Keep up the good work Scurfa (and Jody!)

[@seanpie5481]

Nice review. I saw a blue Diver One no date on eBay Germany a couple of years ago and fell in love. I missed that one and Scurfa were sold out. I had to wait for a new batch and it was worth the wait! The bezel, the dial, the hands, the drilled lugs and oh boy the lume. Pin and collar not so much but you only set that once. And legit 500m and helium escape valve. I’m happy and one day I might even go diving……. Cheers.

[@AwkwardHorology]

I’m surprised! I’ve never come across this brand before - thanks for putting it on my radar Jody!

[@kevjaffray]

I have the yellow dial, on a yellow fkm strap. It's a real eye-catcher. After having it for a while I just had to get the D1-500 quartz with light blue dial. Awesome watches and set to stay with me in my collection. Great that you've given a worthy company an added boost 😁

[@nusbacher]

I'd love to see an episode on factories!

[@devonjay1337]

Just wanted to say thank you. I bought the San Martin 1950s rolex style diver from your video about 2 years and have worn it 24/7 for over a year. Stunning piece, absolutely beautiful, catches the light so well and still looks new!

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Great to hear! It is a cracking watch. Cheers!

[@wadehodges8006]

That profile reminds me of the light catcher case from Christopher Ward!

[@rolandkouble4941]

I have a black dial treasure sealer and it is my pick as a daily wearer. Great watch and great quality. The rubber strap is one of the most comfortable I’ve tried

[@roamready9732]

Scurfa has long been on my...sonar as well! I just need to pull the trigger! Great review, as always!

[@rayharrison6400]

One of the nicest watches I've seen you review. The honeycomb dial is awesome. It's not too cluttered either and very clear. The bezel maybe could be slightly wider with a 1mm smaller dial for my diver ocd liking. Case is great and varied in design and texture finishes. The minute hand maybe could be beefier but it's not a disaster by any stretch. Knurling on the bezel is acceptable, seeing as its a hybrid diver / everyday. Turned down lugs are sublime, so can just see the comfort. Bracelet is good and well finished. Clasp looks quality too. Overall a 8/10 for me, really like it.

[@shadowsocks7472]

I'm not sure why the shipping was so high. I had mine sent to Alaska and it was 15 or 20 dollars.

[@mikev3245]

Nice review Jody, I was wondering about this watch. By coincidence I have my MS18 in rotation today as I watched this and I would have liked a few things carried over to this watch. A bezel with fantastic grip as well as an insert with minute markers all the way around, a nicer domed crystal and some wider more prominent hands as you mentioned. I'm glad the BGW9 killer lume application is still present.

[@Cracker130]

I’ve had a D1 200m for years I absolutely love it , the customer service from Paul is excellent as is the watch, these really are excellent value for money, I’m thinking of picking up one of the new Top Side Crew models that are out later this month.

[@DisplayKeesBack]

Thanks Josh!

[@Razor_Burn]

I'm a sucker for an orange dial and this one doesn't disappoint so great selection Josh! Great review Jody 👍

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

[@calnative4904]

[@captbumbler5356]

Hi Jody, A great looking watch, Thabk you for this review I will be keeping an eye on Scurfa watch now

[@richcollins3490]

I think the wait for this watch is well worth it. l have been looking for a watch with all these features and will be ordering a similar one when it becomes available.

[@usernamwdrama]

Thanks for the review Jody. I've had a D1 titanium proto dial for about 4 months, a bloody good watch for sure, well made and keeps excellent time. The postage costs are definitely high but less than 400 Aussie bucks delivered is great I reckon.

[@Norsemann]

Nice. Love drilled lugs as I have over 100 straps and bracelets. Bezel and dial looks really nice. Hands size are fine too me

[@terencecragg2781]

That looks fantastic. I want one! 🤗

[@jeffreygoss8109]

I have the D1-titanium blue quartz. Love it. And I loved Scurfas custom service…which is the wife I believe.

[@jamespearce2993]

I love this piece. Why do I think "Certina" when I look at it? Maybe it's the bracelet, I don't know! Great watch

[@mr.eswatchreviews]

I agree I would estimate that came out of more than likely the same factory that the Kronos in the San Martin's come out of

[@RandomRobReviews]

Great watch, I really enjoy my yellow dial. Spot on review. Hope to see a version 2 in the future.

[@private464]

I have the yellow one as well and like it very much. I think it's the best of the bunch and fits perfectly with the honeycomb dial.

[@TheWeardale1]

that blue one @ 0:44 is stunning... never heard of these before either..!

[@howardtyree4297]

If Just got my Scurfa Topsider. This is one find watch. I love the domed crystal. That’s why I purchased it. I also just purchased the orange Treasure Seeker diver from Paul, however I originally wanted the Omega Seamaster Orange because of its dome but these Scurfa’s will take care of that itch for a while as I just purchased an Omega Speedmaster. Keep up the good work Jody. You’re the best, and only, 😉 Aussie I know.

[@jonathandoughy3430]

I have a D1 in titanium. It’s fantastic!

[@TheInsicor]

Scurfa! My yellow D1 is one of my most worn watches and I just picked up a titanium version. Great watches for the price.

[@HamishCarpenter]

Can you share your wrist size - I am at 6.5” and want to get one. Thanks

[@TheInsicor]

@@HamishCarpenter A little under 6.5", so you should be fine.

[@larrydalton2205]

Jody, thanks for the introduction to this watch brand! The Orange and yellow are cool but I love the white dial version which is out of stock but almost perfectly fits my search for s different white dial diver. I would love it more at 40mm but 41 is fine. Thanks again mate!

[@HamishCarpenter]

I have a 6.5” Wrist - any issues with the 41.5 size or does it wear smaller? Thank you

[@artieshell9205]

I’m liking this !

[@djapojunior]

Scurfa are awesome! 🔥

[@gori277]

Scurfa has been on my radar for a while and now they do mechanical watches I’ve had one on the shopping basket for a while. I really, really love the case design on this one but the only thing holding me back is that hexagonal pattern on the dial and, mostly, the branding - font and printing - they need a logo or another font. Yellow all the way!

[@thomasdrew5328]

Lovely watch, managed to pickup one of their limited editions this year. With the black plastic box you were on the right tracks - they are the same as the boxes used to machine parts to the oil rigs (where Paul works).

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Ah! Thought it might have been a roughneck reference that went straight over my smooth neck.

[@markplayford5836]

Nearly bought a Diver One but talked myself out of it (way too many divers!). This is really nice though and seen as I live in the UK, shipping would not be a problem for once. 😄

[@ianmarshall3633]

Great video as usual my friend. A beautiful piece, but that butterfly clasp YUK! I recently purchased a JDM Seiko divers and had to pay £44.50 international shipping.

[@JustOneMoreWatch]

Ooftie! It's getting pricey eh?

[@ianmarshall3633]

Apologies, I thought I saw a butterfly clasp. No. The milled clasp is great but could do with more micro adjustment. Yes, these international charges are getting worse. But if you want the watch you have to pay ☹️.

[@timhorack5468]

Love it, I still don't have an orange watch in my collection

[@tee_m]

Sent some stuff (15kg) from UK by DPD to Australia a couple of days ago and it was £29. Can recommend.

[@JRoss-zxzx]

Can we start seeing dive watches in situ? Many divers look great at the desk, but how are they at the beach? In the water? Snorkeling/diving? On a HALO jump into downtown Sydney?

[@sphyoni]

Great review, nice watch, I agree orange is a great colour for a dive watch, I have an orange Seiko 5 SRPD59K1. Jody have you looked at the UK watch brand NITE? I have been looking at them for a while because they look really nice and have trinium, like the Alpha in green. Would you do a review of one?

[@TheTobias81]

The bezel insert looks like the one from the Helm Komodo.

Looking at Crown specs, Diver One has 7mm screw down crown with 4 gaskets and the D1 logo. Treasure seeker only has 7mm regulator style crown with deep etched TS logo. TS face does not say "DIVER".

[@gorillasinthewrist]

Not a brand I had previously come across, but a decent effort, good movement for the price, the hands are a little plain Jane

[@thaumaturgeishere331]

Jodie, any chance of naming your favourite three watch manufacturing/assembly companies in the Far East - as refenced in your review?

I could maybe do a video on it?

[@stephenbramwell456]

definitely worthy of a video, Jodie.

[@SingleTrackMined]

@@JustOneMoreWatch That would be great!

[@hmr171]

This is a brand that always seems to come very close to what I like, but just falls short due to a single design element. On the Diver 1, it's the clown proportions of the hand set and on the Treasure Seeker, it's the bulge in the case at 9 position. I really like the dial on this watch though.

[@jamesblank2024]

Diver One are designed for ... diving. Those large lumed hands make for an easy read under water. Sometimes watches are designed for function rather than style.

[@MisterE495]

They only have the blue dal and bezel available now.

[@felixangellopezalonso3993]

Nice dial but is other diver in market, noticing special. The most interesting colours are out of stock just as usual.

[@SingleTrackMined]

Coincidentally I got a Diver-1 this week. After Liz fixed the British economy the dollar was so strong it was a great deal on a watch I've been looking at for a couple of years. An honest tool watch at an honest price. Huzzah! Cheers from sunny Florida!

Hahaha, while other reviewers complain about every superfluous piece of plastic ending up as microplastic waste in the oceans, you celebrate peeling them off! 😆Nice watch, the minute and second hand are a touch short. I do like the case shape, the honeycomp pattern on the dial and the bezel design.

[@brianmsahin]

Scurfa!! Sounds like a skin disease caused by the lack of Vitamin C. Lol. Just kidding, it just popped into my mind. 😂 Lovely watch though, but nothing particularly special outside of the dial and I'm sure I've seen an Ali brand with a similar dial. On the shipping, it's definitely a rip off. It should be nowhere near that price.
