I bought their very first dive watch. I love it and I still have it. I don't dive but I wear it when I go sailing.

[@tofu3802]

Thanks Pete, Nice interesting Scurfa's video. Always look forward to your reviews.

[@ink281]

Exactly the comparison review I was looking for, well done. Thanks

[@sneak880]

Great video review... Full of good images and informative commentary. I reckon these Scurfa watches are cool. Thanks 👍

[@UGA.D]

Great video! I've been looking at the titanium version. That Lume Bot always kills me. HAHA

[@leath25]

Merry Christmas pete and to the rest of the subscriber club members out there like me.nice watches think I'm a divers watch fan by heart.theres one watch out there I wish I had but can't afford it,the accutron space view, electrostatic powered I think.amazing looking watch.carl from cov uk.

[@ChillinwitWatches]

Merry Christmas!!! That accutron is super cool!

[@andrewd7586]

Hey Pete good to see ya back mate!🤪 I’ve been looking on the Scurfa site, but each ti e I do, they’re out of stock for the one I want!🤬 Anyway, I’ll just bide my time!🤣 And yeah I could tell the difference between those sneakers!😵‍💫🤭🇦🇺

[@WATCHingJames]

Very clean looking design. Great to see a no date watch.

[@bernardocourrege6283]

Great watch for a great value! I've had my eyes on them for some time.

[@itsallrobbish]

Great review, gotta have one!!

[@marshallcollins8634]

I have a D-1 300 with a ceramic bezel I have worn the crap and most of the lume out of the bezel and the only problem I have had the gasket on the back and the lume on the bezel . Both of these issues are probably my fault, I know the lume is my fault as I NEVER take a watch off unless I have to get my hand in a real tight spot and it prevents me from doing so. I have even broke a few spring bars getting my hand out of a place that was tighter after putting the nut or bolt on . I have had my arm in many of fuel tanks that’s the only (DIVING) I have done in the past 27 years. Luckily I noticed the case back gasket when I replaced the battery. I must have been in a hurry last battery swap and didn’t put any vasaleene on the gasket and it stuck and twisted it when removed. Anyway great watch that will take a whole lot of abuse. This is a real Tool watch.

[@Z-u-m-a]

Solid review - thanks 👍

[@DaveInTexas1180]

Good review Pete, been looking at these. May be a dumb question to some but does the seconds hand hit the marks? Also what case is that Namoki dial in?

[@danspanos]

You always come up with these brands I've never heard of. I really appreciate your channel for that reason! For me, that 50 grams makes a huge difference! Unfortunately I've lost a lot of muscle mass from 2 years of dialysis, and a kidney transplant. I really can't handle wearing anything all day that weighs over 130 grams. I'd definitely have to go for the titanium in this case. Great review, Pete!

[@ChillinwitWatches]

Thanks! That's a good point you make, for some that 50g is everything!

Never heard of em, good looking watch

[@111111111Tiger]

Nice watch... thx for the vid

[@Roger_Ramjet]

I love my Diver one!!

[@marekpapro4897]

Obydwa piękne, chciałbym jeden taki mieć. Super porównanie zrobiłeś. pozdrawiam z Polski

[@surfitli]

Nice review. I have a few of Scurfas, including the green D-500 Diver 1. The No-date models have the Ronda 713, it’s the same but with no-date. While not a big deal, it’s always nice when no date watches have a true no-date movement. I think you would like the Scurfa Treasure Seeker Automatic. They really did an excellent job with that one.

[@ChillinwitWatches]

Oh good point on the movement, I dropped the ball on that one! I'd love to check out one of those treasure seekers one of these days!

[@floydmorrison2025]

You make a really good point about the relative "lightness" of titanium divers vs. titanium field watches. Over the last two weeks I received a Zelos Swordfish 40 Ti and a Helm Vanuatu Ti (my Helm # finally got called after 6 months!), and while they're definitely lighter (duh) and very comfortable, they are not *substantially* lighter than a steel diver. Whereas my SWC Bunker Ti field watch feels like air on my wrist, and I forget that I'm wearing it. I'll see if that changes when I put the SWC Ti bracelet on it (delivery is sometime this month..). Great review! I need a Scurfa!

[@ChillinwitWatches]

Ohh can't wait to see the bunker bracelets!!!

[@captinsano443]

Totally different sneakers!

[@MyAlan999]

0:10 - 0:13 never has such wise words been spoken :)

[@boston961]

great review as always , do you think the titanium could work on a 6.75 inch wrist . I really like the look but worry it will wear to large .

[@ChillinwitWatches]

If say it wears large for a 40, it's chunky. If you can pull off a 41mm diver I think you'll be perfectly fine.

[@boston961]

@@ChillinwitWatches cool , thank you !

[@zim312]

Which one did you end up keeping?

[@jimwatchyyc]

I couldn’t figure out what Watch you weighed right after the two Scurfas.

[@ChillinwitWatches]

It's a Maty, French Monnin case diver from the 80's.

[@eliakuiper4266]

if the watches (sneakers) all look the same then its much easier to add more to the collection without anyone noticing ;-)

[@ChillinwitWatches]

Great point!!!

[@johnklonaris9136]

Stainless for me

[@ChillinwitWatches]

I can appreciate that!

[@NathanChisholm041]

Nice Tele with the humbuckers mate! It must sound pretty cool. Scurfer offers excellent value watches...

[@MrBacchus18]

I know my wife tries to say all my 40-44 mm divers "all look the same" what crack is she smokin? lol

[@ChillinwitWatches]

Right? Totally different!

[@jeejkee6471]

If you want to part with this watch please let me know 🎉

[@jodysilvia2]

You must spend hours on end finding all these watches.

They come to me like I'm the Pied Piper of watches!

[@-Dash-]

Look `nice`... but very conservative and the branding makes them look like department store watches to me.

[@MrJamesDuffy]

Not only are those Jordan 1 Bred Toe lows a different colorway, they are fresh-out-da-box clean and uncreased!
