All of your reviews are quite excellent.

[@darioswatchclub8]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them. I try to be honest, from Watch Lover & user to fellow Watch Lovers!

[@crym3199]

Btw, normally for mech watch is better to have a positive run like +5 s/d than negative like -5 s/d. Cause for a correction you just have to take a crown out for some time and do not need to rotate it for adjustment of handes.

[@darioswatchclub8]

Makes Sense. Absolutely, Thank you for sharing!

Great review! I just got this watch yesterday. I like the look and of course I can’t afford a Rolex (never will, and that’s ok). Some snobs call this a clomage…I beg to differ. I lucked out and received an updated bracelet and it’s great (no play). I’m considering a rubber strap since that’s what I wear 99% of the time on my watches. The cyclops helps my 61 year old eyes 😅 I also own a Heimdallr Captain Willard homage. Another well made homage.

[@darioswatchclub8]

The CYCLOPS REALLY GREW ON ME! I loved the Watch. It was a bit heavy for my wrist, and the bracelet was a bit to sharp for my Taste. Would I order it again...I might go for the Rubber Strap, although the Milled Clasp and the Bracelet are amazing.

[@FiremanFrach]

@@darioswatchclub8 That’s great to hear! Although, I’m not crazy about the Steeldive rubber strap with the large holes. Maybe customize it.

I have the starbucks version and tomorrow the all black version with quartz will arrive

[@darioswatchclub8]

Man the Starbucks is Great! Te Blue One too.

[@Primo7915]

@@darioswatchclub8 yes, all black version is a little boring (

[@Primo7915]

​@@darioswatchclub8 I really like Starbucks, I bought a separate green bezel insert and adapted it for Casio Duro in addition to the Sapphire Mod

I have STEELDIVE 19'53 & 2 x INVICTA watches. Although all 3 have the Seiko NH35A. The STEELDIVE 1953 is extremely accurate compared to the two INVICTA's. The extra cost besides insanely better lume, I believe some time is given to adjusting the mechanism for accuracy. A higher spec watch IMHO. The STEELDIVE 1953 is the Rolex of watch value. BTW - I love my INVICTA's.

[@darioswatchclub8]

I love my Invictas too... but yes this Watch was beating them in Accuracy. I could write a bunch of words here... but we understand each other! Keep it up brotha!

[@jinsonrajan22]

Hows the steeldive holding? Btw what is you wrist size?

[@darioswatchclub8]

I have a Seven Inch Wrist. Or was it 6 and a half...pretty Tine. The Steeldive is amaing. The Braclet was just a bit to sharp for my taste and the Watch too heavy at 170grams.

[@WUDN-WatchUDontNeed]

Hello fellow slim-wrister! Nice to see such a substantial piece on your wrist. Makes me prone to the idea of getting a similar one myself. Thanks for this video!

[@darioswatchclub8]

If you do. Try my Affiliate^^ hahahah

[@crym3199]

Basically I am thinking about the same update from quartz Addiesdive to mechanical Steeldive or Addiesdive. But I am not completely sure in the profit I get: the quartz watch requires no maintenance within some years.

[@darioswatchclub8]

I have to say the Steeldive feels a bit different. If you are Completely Happy with your Addies, don't bother. If you need a little more weight, Chunkyness, and premium feel, (no sharp edges) try the STeel. If you do, try through my Affiliate, right now its 60 Bucks...but the Price Fluctuates. But I would say the Addies could and would keep me happy. Only If you need a bit more premium, than upgrade. But the Addies can be enough.

[@crym3199]

@@darioswatchclub8 good price is by your link, btw. Are you maybe going to buy Pagani 1719 for a review?

[@williamthomas6106]

The watch is awesome, but the Cyclops is positively awful. It is way to strong and distorts the date window terribly. If they simply went to a lower magnification, it would be near perfect. I resorted to using a propane torch and box cutter to scrape the cyclops off the watch and it looks much more balanced without the cyclops. I don't mind a cyclops, but it has to be a good one, and the Steeldive 1953 doesn't have a good one.

[@darioswatchclub8]

I would love to see a Photo of your Steeldive without the Cyclops. I would say It grew on me...but It didn't strike quite the right Balance between all the elements of the Watch.

[@darrenfry4695]

I got mine three years ago and its still one of my favourites to wear the only difference from mine to the one shown is ive got the horrible clasps ,where the new ones of milled clasps, cheers for the review,.s.dive rock.

[@darioswatchclub8]

Cool to hear that. I think a Watch like this could last a lifetime. And why not. Hope your Clasp is holding up well. You could update it. Thanks for the Comment!

[@darrenfry4695]

@@darioswatchclub8 yes it's been upgraded lol cheers

[@TheBimmer74]

I have this. It's a great homage. Now I am ordering a real Rolex .

[@darioswatchclub8]

Both your watches will be Black. Tell me how the Rolex feels in comparison to the Steely.

[@paulvon2378]

looks like a 1980s Submariner. Nice

It is cool!
