Great comparison. I've been looking at both. The heimdallr looks slightly better build quality and has more bezel colour options but the steel dive has better lume.

Yes, you are totally correct. Thanks for watching man 👍

@@NMwatch Thanks so much for confirming this guys. It's so hard to work out on Ali whether it was domed or not. I gave away my Steel dive cas I really wanted a domed crystal and easier to read indices.

Very good comparison review. Like you said, when you just look quickly they seem the same. But as you pointed out, there are quite a few subtle little differences.

[@NMwatch]

Yes, the difference can only be seen when I have both of them together. Otherwise, I wouldn't have noticed. Thanks for watching bro

[@nuhuh9893]

Sharkey wins, more tasteful logo and I prefer the bezel without lume, as I don't like how the Steeldive has two different lume colours. I also like how the dial on the Heimdallr looks like a darker shade of black, the Steeldive looks more greyish.

[@NMwatch]

Yup. That's what I love about the Heimdallr. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎

[@LurkingCrassZero]

I have the Steeldive in blue and also the black version, but prefer the look of the Heimdallr. If Heimdallr had domed sapphire instead I'd definitely buy that also, but as it is there's not enough improvement over the Steeldive to justify buying one.

[@NMwatch]

Well, each has it's own differences. Thanks for watching 😎

Excellent comparison My Friend, thank you so much. I was struggling to see which one should I get. Now I’m definitely going for the Sharky Heimdallr. Take care!

That was an excellent comparison video. At the start you'd think they are very similar with negligible differences. By the end, I was like 'Oh my god'. They're totally different. What an eye you have! I have a Steeldive SD1965 and a Heimdallr Monster. These are both companies which are knocking it out of the park as far as Chinese homage watch quality is concerned. I'd call it a coin toss here. If you really like, or feel you must have, a lumed bezel: it's the Steeldive. If you want the blacker dial and more refined finishing: it's the Heimdallr. On the other hand, you could, maybe, call the Steeldive dial and case brushing 'more vintage'. What a great comparison video. Thank you!

[@NMwatch]

Thanks for the support bro 👍

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

I’ve been impressed with Steeldive from what I’ve seen. I’ve held a few and the price is right for what you get.

Hey man, how are you doing? Yup, for the money you can't beat Steeldive. Looking forward to reviewing these in 2022. Happy New Year bro!

[@auburnsenn2040]

IThanks for the video and I have bought both fyi. The Heimdallr looks in proportion much similar to my original SEIKO 6105-8119. I feel the LOWER BODY CURVISH EFFECT & THE CROWN BEING MUCH BIGGER (LONGER) makes the difference. Steeldive scores on the LOOM though....

[@NMwatch]

Yeah, the lume on Steeldive is awesome.

I was wondering... what about SteelDive and AddiesDive 6105 homages? Are they also so different? BTW after watching this video i am regretting so much of not purchasing the Heimdallr... damn it! Good video! Thumbs up everyone pls!

[@NMwatch]

I don't think so. Based on the photos, videos and comments on AliExpress so far, I think both AddiesDive and Steeldive came from the same factory. My AddiesDive pilot watch box even came with the AddiesDive sticker put on top of the Steeldive sticker 😂. Maybe they are positioning AddiesDive in a bit lower price point, in order to increase the price of Steeldive. If I own a watch company, that's what I might do😂. Thanks for watching 👍

[@robertdesrosiers2382]

The one thing that I like about the Steeldive more is that they offer a sterile version. Hate the logos on both.

Very good review,only omission the price,were I am living the steeldive is 28% cheaper.I am not sure if that is the case in other countries.I purchased the steeldive mainly for the loom and price difference.I also have the San Martin 6105 bronze which I love.Thanks for the review.

[@paulcampise3050]

I always seem to be late on the comments, last comment 8 months back. Whichever watch one chooses, one should be happy without regrets. None of the homage watches are the Seiko 6105 Captain Willard. After looking at the eBay listing, none of the cases are any where near exact so, comparing homage cases is merely an exercise in determining one's desired preference. For me, I selected the Steeldive because I like a ceramic bezel, the better crown function and lume. Oh, I forgot to mention with Steeldive one can select a metal bracelet. If you don't like the clasp, then, upgrade as I did and get a better clasp for $7. Comparing dial color is like comparing black and grey, purchasers preference.

[@NMwatch]

Yup. Each to his own brother. Thanks for watching 👍

[@instrumentalcollection111]

I think the Heimdallr's case looks slightly closer to the real Willard.

I have both watches and the exact opposite experience with their crowns. The SD is fiddly and the Heim is amost automatic. And the SD bezel is horrible too, both stiff and mushy with weak clicks, like it had glue instead of grease. The Heimdallr is a way better watch in every respect.

[@NMwatch]

Well, I have to agree with you on the overall quality. With the SD, you are pretty much depending on luck. But it is a steal. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎

[@oktc68]

Very interesting. I started off with a Steeldive but it was a little "basic" for my requirements. Makes a great inexpensive beater. I looked at all the other brands that have versions of this model and went with Heimdallr's custom-made version with the ETA 2824-2 movement, it too has the inky black dial with applied indexes and logo, case finishing is on par with my San Martin or Seikos. Really good bezel action and fitted with an aluminium insert which definitely adds something. No AR coating on its domed sapphire crystal either, definitely more of a "period" look. Slightly different handset. Very nice watch of surprisingly good quality considering the modest price of £250. I also have the sunburst champagne dial titanium 6105 8110 from Heimdallr again a really good quality watch. Depending on what you want they each have something to offer.

[@NMwatch]

I might get one of those for review. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching 😎

I'm sorry. I think you meant the Steeldive right?

[@martinsmolarik3143]

bezel backplay and sounding is one of the most funny and a little bit stupid way of how to compare watches...btw steeldive looks much better in my opinion..the shark logo is a bit ugly and the darkgrey dial looks better (more vintage) then the black one

Each to his own brother. Thanks for watching 😎

I like the watches you presented but a homage is not a homage if it’s not a the reissue seiko sbdc109 .

Each to his own bro. Thanks for watching

[@rosstisbury1626]

[@NMwatch]

Ha ha ha. Each to his own brother. Thanks for watching 😎

My Steeldive capt Willard works perfectly until you take it off then it stops. This happens no matter how long it has been worn.

[@NMwatch]

Shouldn't it have at least 40 hours of power reserve?

[@islandterror5198]

Hemi wins 🧐⛄

[@NMwatch]

Yes it does 👍

O meu é o addiesdive

[@simonodell2103]

These generic type watches are made in same factory most of the time...just branded differently

[@NMwatch]

Yeah. Maybe it is. Thanks for watching 👍

[@maxhamilton8204]

No it is not.

On the corner = WRONG

[@JohanDee]

Why not stop with that stupid "captain Willard" who never existed, but instead refer to the real explorer Captain Uemura from Japan who was who made this model famous in Japan!

[@NMwatch]

Well, I'll keep that in mind for the next video I make with these type of watches. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎

[@couchmonkeywtf]

I'm not going to watch a video where the person doesn't even know the model of the watch they're comparing. Maybe next time.

[@NMwatch]

Thanks for the comments bro. I'll definitely take note.
