"I'm not paid to say, rather I pay so that I can say" The real truth!

Quietly enjoy collecting dive watches sight unseen and unsaid unspoken.
Think deeply and respect others. You can never know how much it will mean to so many that need...
I don't edit my videos as 99.9999 percent rule. Why? I cannot stand sitting there editing. I would rather just make my mistakes part of my authenticity. What you see is the raw uncut, one shot, from beginning to end. No scripts. The real.
It's also my phone audio that is terrible. I just ordered a new phone. This one I have is a flagship but it has seen better days. My new phone will arrive early next week. My apologies about the audio and the background music. Once I receive my new phone, when I record shorts with it, the audio and everything will be tons better! 💯
This one is actually quite nice and it was totally unexpected. I was sent this with that Octopus Kraken that I reviewed. I told them I wanted to review it on a red NATO and watchdives sent it to me. It's extra soft and made quite well. I call this a Zulu. A 5 ring Zulu strap. I like the 5 ring Zulu better than the NATO with squared off keepers.
Thank you very much. I truly appreciate your kind words man. I am uncertain at the moment whether I’m going to continue with RU-vid. It’s a tough crowd and then when your channel is small, the RU-vid algorithm basically doesn’t even recognize your content and thus it is rarely if at all pushed out to be able to even be seen. Plus I receive hate from a select few and I know not why. I’m not at the subscriber threshold to be able to monetize and I had this one sub whom I finally removed who kept being rude and disrespectful because I often uploaded Seiko content and he began expecting me to have new watches every time I uploaded and I asked him did he want to send me money to buy a new dive watch every two weeks lol. It is expensive when your channel isn’t yet bringing in revenue to help fund new watches to review. At the end of the long difficult road, I would have been okay with all of that except for the rude, disrespectful comments, and the small select specific folks that hate for no reason. I respond to everyone. I respect everyone. Haven said that, I sincerely and truly appreciate your cool kind comment. I just made a lot of my videos set to private but not all of them and so I’m still here for the moment, albeit undecided. I just went through and thinned out the overlapping and the low view count videos. I think that I will continue to review new divers when I do make new purchases and as of tonight after reading a very disrespectful rude comment, it made me mad indeed, but it also enabled me to tell myself not to worry or feel the weight like I had been of pumping out new video content by way of constantly buying new watches. I just am not made of money like that. I’m semi retired and I’m at the age that took me nearly all 23 years I’ve been buying and collecting high end dive watches to finally, think before I buy. To buy in moderation and to be very selective. I’ll be 49 in October and it took many years and a ton of monetary loss due to my insane manner in the sheer amount of high end brand new watches that I was constantly buying. The monetary amount in just the losses I had and have over the years alone, I could easily fully retire had I thought before I bought like I do now these days. I will be receiving several trust payouts by the end of this month and I have been looking at buying a Nodus Avalon II, so keep a watch and stay tuned for that review coming soon and possibly an Oris Aquis that I have had my eye on which is the Oris X Bracenet. It’s a really cool looking diver. The dial color is a greenish teal blue color with a stainless bezel color. It’s a very good looking yet unique timepiece. More reviews to come but now after the ordeal that finally got to me, the reviews will spaced out to be a little further apart. Thanks again brother and I will see you in the comments in the next one! Take care man.
That's interesting. I knew a guy a few years back who collected nothing but very nice vintages watches. Beautiful timepieces indeed. I imagine your collection is truly unique. I personally collect strictly dive watches. I have always been captivated by the iconic dive watch look with a rotating bezel. I also really like the 4 O'clock Crown position. Thank you for your comment. Keep in touch.
Thank you very much. I really like this piece. It's discontinued and I was able to find it brand new. I think I'm going to order a sapphire bezel insert for it and have my watchmaker install it and he is also going to try and track down a domed sapphire crystal for it. It has a flat sapphire crystal and I much prefer a domed. I also upgraded the bracelet from to a strap code screw link and milled clasp bracelet from the stock pressed clasp and pin links.
Yes sir! The bracelet in my opinion tapers to much down to 16mm and it has sharp edges. Overall fit and finish is outstanding! Thanks for your comment. Keep in touch brother!
You know on mine I've noticed that my bezel has some areas during rotation where it gets noticeably harder to rotate and then goes back smoothly rotating. Still love this piece though.
I bought a couple of Pagani designs. A few years back now. I then bought a SanMartin. While Pagani is good for what you pay, once you have a SanMartin in your hand, it feels really premium. I gave all my Pagani watches away, I didn’t even try to sell them. I now have a watch box full of SanMartin watches and I like them all. They make a lot of different designs so the one brand idea works well. The newer more original designs are fantastic.
Hey brother, yeah I agree with you. I have one Pagani diver and I was sent it out to review. Gave my other one sent to me away. The one I have now, I kept around because it has Captain America colors and has a Seiko NH35 and the specs are impressive for the money. San Martin is on an entirely other level though as you stated!
Thank you brother! More videos? I can do and will! Watch for a livestream tomorrow night 7pm central time. 8pm eastern time. Please join in! Thank you for subscribing man. I appreciate you for that!
Thanks brother! You would be shocked at the number of dislikes I receive and on this video short. I dont get it. In fact I am 98 percent certain Seiko USA is one of my main haters because I swapped the bracelet and black rubber strap up and publicly stated that this was the way these two SLA divers should have shipped and sold as from Seiko and the reason I know this is because when I had a Instagram account before I decided to delete it the other night, every single time I posted these two SLA divers up, Instagram's woke joke ass would remove my posts over copyright matters and its Seiko USA who is making the complaints. On Twitter I posted the same photos and tagged Seiko and said try it here. Told Seiko to grow up. Shame brother a true shame.
I appreciate your cool kind words. I think I'm going to do an entire dedicated video review and discussion on this exact piece alone. Possibly tonight. Stay tuned. I appreciate your comment!
Cool deal! So the RU-vid notifications do alert you. That's cool to know. I don't ever receive mine. They get lost amongst tons of other different types of various notifications on my phone. I am going to try and shoot for another or the next livestream that will be dive watches and open topics. Maybe tomorrow around 7pm Central standard time. I'll create a post about it on my community page and hopefully I'll have figured out the proper and best format. I need to download a separate extension program I think to be able to get the type quality I want. I will research it tomorrow. If you happen to know what type of additional software program I should download and use let me know. There is some way I should be able to use a totally separate platform that then will connect to my tablet or laptop that I can use my tablet for my video feed and my laptop for the chat and comment feed. I think. Not my area of expertise. I know mobile OS well but windows I know enough to use and work with one and that's my limit
@chollister08 are you? Which models are you thinking about? Man I highly recommend the SLA075. If you can get it around the same price I did, it will be worth every dollar. Then order the bracelet from Seiko New Jersey. I can get you in with William at DePaula jewelers. Best overall discount off retail I have ever received in all my 23 years of buying high end divers. You’d be shocked and thrilled! He carries the full lineup of Seiko. Last I spoke to him he was waiting on his inventory of the SNR lineup which I want either the SNR029 or the SNR025. Two of which are my grail divers! In fact if I could sell my two SLA divers right now, I would immediately turn around and call William and get the SNR029 which retails for $6k. At his discount actually makes that piece affordable.
@@TheDiveWatcher the SNR is exactly one of the models but the 041 it’s really rare I think they made 200 might have to source from Japan , I tried the 029 and the green one last week at Exquisite Timepieces in Naples and they’re really nice but it does feel weird a watch that big that’s so light , also thought about the SLA 055 but I want a bracelet
@@chollister08 I absolutely love the SLA055! That one is my favorite out of the 4 SLA models with this 42.6 case design. I just think that Seiko should have included the bracelet even if it's stainless steel because it still matches the ever brilliant steel and at a retail of $4,600 the bracelet absolutely should have come on it. Just like it should have come with my SLA075. Seiko took the cheap way out. If you get the SLA055 man you are going to absolutely fall for the new 42.6mm case design and the hand finishing is spectacular. Seriously better than the Omega Seamaster. It's utterly phenomenal. I know William had that model last time I spoke with him and put it this way, my two SLA I got over 30 percent. Well over that. The absolute by far best price you will find anywhere. I used to buy from Exquisite. My contact there I think is related to the owner so he travels and I lost my go to point of contact but even he never gave me 35 off. Something to keep in mind. Especially if you are going for a 5k retail piece. 35 is nice! If I need to make a phone call for you let me know. I don't make anything but if I am able to save you some money I'm glad to. Let me know which model you end up getting. Congrats on your soon to be next fine timepiece!
It was working? Thats good to hear because the first one was on my tablet. Thought it wasnt working so ended it and went live from my laptop. I will make a post with a scheduled time for the next one!
@@chollister08 Well I had it live on my tablet then ended it because it would not allow landscape orientation and then did it on my phone and the same no landscape and in portrait mode I was unable to see the entire screen for the comments. Ugh!
