Addiesdive are killing it with their latest releases, and so are you Eric! Great review 👍🏻

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello Aviv. Thanks for watching and the kind words, my friend. It’s much appreciated.

[@bendunn2732]

If I was them I'd replay the harpoon guns with pens for their office/dress watches

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

@@bendunn2732 that’s a really interesting idea. Slight modification but changes the intent of the logo. Nice. 👍

[@ssnerd583]

I have this watch with the white dial and it ROCKS!!! This watch is BEAUTIFUL!! Just stunning and on the jublee bracelet its comfortable....and I would HIGHLY recommend this one!

[@TheBimmer74]

Love that dial and the doggy! Keep up the great reviews Eric!

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello theBimmer74. Thanks, I appreciate that. 👍

[@watchalot919]

I bought one with the intention of reviewing and selling it. It' was so damn good I ended keeping it.

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello watchalot919. Understandable. I am impressed with AddiesDive. They make a good watch. 😁.

[@lislearnitalianwithsongs]

Great review, as usual! Plus one about the logo thing… It really subtracts to the overall elegant look of this watch. A very nice watch otherwise! Love the dog too!!! Thanks for the video!

[@mickeymichaels1298]

Great review and channel. I just subscribed. I liked this watch so much, having discovered it through other reviews, that I bought one with the light blue dial. It looks like a quality piece, is great looking, and the bracelet is comfortable. I do prefer a thinner watch and the screw down crown can get a bit tedious when I don't wear it for a few days. That said, you can't beat it for the price, but I think it's worth more than it costs. It became my daily driver.

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Thanks for the kind words mickeymichaels1298. I really appreciate that. I think AddiesDive makes a great watch. Hope you enjoy yours. 👍👍

Mine didn't get more than a week wrist time. It's just too thick at 14,3 mm, especially the domed crystal is thick. In my opinion Pagani Design PD-1734 with VH31 mechaquartz, 11,8 mm thick, is a much better choice. Bracelets aren't that good in either watch, but I think none are in 50-150€ range. Same burr on clasp on mine and on Watchdives WD1680 which has the same clasp. I went one step further and picked up a diamond nail file and just filed all the edges on that part of the clasp and the other side. Micro adjustment was also hard on mine, I think you are right that the spring bar is 1mm too long. My end result was better than yours though, just one tiny scratch. But with NH35A, a Submariner (for example Sugess) or Seastern S434 are probably the best choice. Still 12,5 mm, but that's as good as you are going to get with an auto.

I like what Addiesdive are doing with these dials paired with dress style hands and indices. However, this watch is far too thick to look elegant and the Addiesdive logo looks out of place on the dial as you said. Good review 👍

[@ccooper8785]

The holes on the clasp are a common problem with addiesdive. I have 2 VH31 movement Addiesdives and both have these elongated holes. The clasps are functional and secure though and I absolutely love the watches. I am not so fond of my AD2112 with its NH37 movement however; it is the most inconsistently inaccurate watch I have ever had and I would not recommend it to anyone.

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello ccooper8785. Sorry to hear that, both about the Micro adjustment holes and your experience with the AD2112. Overall I really like AddiesDive but I haven’t had the same issues. Thanks for watching.

[@bendunn2732]

This watch, to me, has to be one of the most beautiful pieces out there, almost grand seiko level. The only down slide to me is the unnecessary logo with its text too, i think just the logo would have been better

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

My thoughts too. They need a simpler logo for their dress watches. Something more refined. Thanks for watching.

[@aquila_d_oro]

it's a gorgeous watch

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello aquiladoro. Definitely a good looking watch. Thanks for watching.

[@WristWatching]

These things are way too good for their price point. Great review as always, Eric! Good comment on having a secondary logo for their dress watches. The logo is the only thing holding me back from getting this watch.

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hey Harvind. If that’s the case, you could always put a piece of black tape over the logo. Then you wouldn’t have to look at it. Just an idea 😂.

[@WristWatching]

@@EricsEverydayWatches Sometimes the easiest solutions are the most brilliant ones 🤣

[@NutStr8]

They clearly were trying to copy the Grand Seiko SBGY007 "Omiwatari". Look at the hands and indices as well. Doesn't look bad for the price though.

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello NutStr8. You’re right. It does look like that model. I haven’t seen that model before.

[@borisstepanyan9611]

Nice watch

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello borisstepany9611. Thanks for watching. I agree. Overall, I thought it was a nice watch.

[@messinto]

real oceanic effect

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Oceanic effect- that’s a good description. Wish I would have thought of that. Sounds better than “choppy waters” 👍

[@paulkennedy6386]

Thanks Eric another great review, its a nice watch. I am not a fan of the logo.

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hi Paul. The logo is a hard one to love on a non-diver watch.

[@Jack.The.Ripperx]

Great Review!!! Does this have lume?

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello Jack.The.Ripperx. Thank you. I appreciate that. No, this watch does not have lume. They went the traditional dress watch approach on this one.

[@FreddyFuFu]

at this price, it was a no brainer.

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hi FreddyFuFu. Did you pick it up during the 11.11 sale? What was the final price you got it for?

[@racegascustoms]

Where is the watch stand from your opening shots from?

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello racegascustoms. It’s a plastic stand that came with an old Casio. I put it on a small lazy Susan to make it spin. Thanks for watching.

[@watchalot919]

It's not a dress watch, it's a sports watch with a dressy vibe

[@EricsEverydayWatches]

Hello watchalot919. That’s interesting. I haven’t heard that before. Are there any specific characteristics which makes you say that?

[@watchalot919]

Dress watches are generally

[@casteltheghettomonk4392]

That logo looks like straight from one piece 😂
