Currently looking to review high quality perlon straps with nice hardware - Please shoot me an email if you are interested in sending me a few!
*Note: I do not service or mod watches for other people. Making youtube videos is all that I do, for now. I may start selling things in the future. The watches that I review are either my own or ones that my friends own . I am inundated with nato straps. I do not need any more.

READ!!! I ONLY review watches that I or my close friends buy. I also don't want to join your network. I don't check youtube messages. Too many spams 24/7.
This is old. In 2024 you snag 18 to 22mm black or silver strap ‘extenders’ on AExp for a few bucks a set . Snag some 22mm straps. Do it they work great and look great. Got my 1200 on black nato sweet 🍻 cheers
Youre measuring the lug width wrong, slightly. Measure from the pointy tips of the lugs, not the wider part where it is attached to the case. The lug width on this is 20mm when measured correctly.
I will tell you a secret,just turn your watch upside and dip( not much alcohol,just enough to submerge bezel)in alcohol or acetone for 1 hour and you can strip your ceramic without taking of the bezel. P.S don’t ever use any other tool except 1mill screwdriver which is ideal for bezel insert removal!!
Great job!😮... You should get the 9937ob version of the prodiver.. upgraded movement.. sellita sw200.. bracelet and clasp..lume..pip.. crystal and a thinner depth case... fantastic watch for $220
I do not understand doing mods to an Invicta pro driver to make it appear to be a Seiko. I have 3 pro divers, and I am not ashamed. Buying an Invicta indicates that I am intelligent enough to recognize such high value for dollars spent. All the Invicta haters can't give really good reason for the hate. Even many expensive homage watches, are basic copies of the Rolex Submariner. Invicta puts their branding very prominently all over the watch, as they are not trying to fool anyone. I, for one, respect that. The branding does not bother me at all. Invicta is an attractive, very functional, watch that can actually safely enter the swimming pool. It has a reliable Seiko movement, a locking crown, and hacking. It is also much more accurate than the vast majority of mechanical watches even close to this price range.
After years of indecision and seeing how the prices of Seikos are going up like weather ballons, yesterday I finally got myself a classic Seiko "5", more precisely the SNK381, the one with all the lumed numerals, probably the most complete and most elegant of the OG "5s". I postponed this purchase many times, because everytime I wanted to buy a "5" I would end up getting and Orient Tristar. Now I have in my collection a silver dial Orient (the old version, with the 2 o'clock pusher for changing the day), a bright blue dial and this gorgeous RA-AB0034Y19B. Today I wore both this Orient and the Seiko and my thoughts are that the Orient is the marginally superior watch. The build quality is slightly better, the 39mm size sits slightly nicer on wrist and even the bracelet is less jangly, even though the bracelets are identical in biuld characteristics (folded links, adjustment via metal wedges, hollow end-links, stamped clasp) and the colour pallette of the Tristars dials is much micer, more vibrant and bolder. I think Orient remains the better bang-for-buck option.
