it is a quiz today, and one that you have to answer for yourself. I honestly reckon that most of the parts are shared across ALL of these 6105 homages. Does that mean the cheapest is the best? Quite possibly. I'd be going for black next time though, easier to mod. Cheers, Jody.

I have just received black one, and let me tell you, it's great. It really exceeded my expectations, anti-reflection coating is not blue, clasp is upgraded and it's better than the one you bought afterwards, with 6 positions for adjustment and very good finish. Endlinks are fitted properly, ceramic bezel insert is perfect, and no complaints about bezel action. It seems that manufacturer is listening suggestions from reviewers and customers. Movement is working fine. I really recommend this watch. Thanks Jody for your interesting and honest videos 👍

To be fair, they’re not making a watch, but they are copying one someone else made. They didn’t make the movement, as Seiko have done, and they haven’t had to make the watch from scratch as Seiko have done. Giving the ‘copiers’ the same credit as the originators is like saying a cover band’s version of a song is as good as the original performers’ version. Blazing a trail is a lot easier if someone has already drawn a map for you.

Got myself one for Christmas. If anyone is wondering, on the blue one the colours do match. Some people hate that version cause it's the most flashy but I'm not actually Cpt. Willard patrolling through Vietnam so who cares. The only downside is that end-link construction. I can live with the clasp, but changing the bracelet is a nightmare, I outright managed to BEND the SOLID end-link! If you opt for the bracelet better never take it off.

@jb678901 3 года назад

Same, no QC issues on mine either. I went for the green version (US$112) and paired it with a MAIKES stitched/dark-brown leather strap with deployment clasp ($18). I just alternated after 2 weeks from the SD 1970 to the Aragon Divemaster 42 (Black dial/black ceramic bezel/NH36A; $149) also paired with a MAIKES leather strap (black with white stitching; $18). These are my current daily drivers...I retired my other two favorites for special occasions, since the sapphire/ceramic/S.S. materials on the aforementioned watches make for more rugged use. After spending $1000 on a Rolex 16613 maintenance (after 19 years of routine use), I am more careful given its alu bezel. Same for a Glashutte Senator, with gold case. Softer metals...more easily scratched. The above daily drivers, with SII NH 35/36 resp., are very accurate and offer incredible value IMO. Not every watch needs to be investment grade to be considered a damn good watch!

@jb678901 3 года назад

Not really. Economies of scale. This is not the kind of production where such labor is deployed. As well, many of these factories are contract manufacturers for western micro brands...who may inspect the TPM for its labor practices. Sure, the wages are extremely low compared to western wages, but typically competitive for the local market. The biggest cost driver being the SII NH35A mechanism itself...made in Malaysia.

@tonymccafferty7696 3 года назад

I've just taken delivery of a San Martin Abalone in bronze with a green dial. It's fantastic.

It's a great budget watch but I think the san martin is a real quality watch by itself, domed crystal, ceramic bezel, hacking and handwinding etc. The fit and Finish on mine is amazing, I returned the steel dive for the San martin and the difference was very obvious and a definate improvement. Also about the best bezel feel/action of any watch I own to include multiple seiko, 2 tag Heuer and a few Deep Blues's and even the citizen promaster diver which I found to be almost flawless. Just my two cents.

Seagull Watches have some interesting dive watches at the moment and wondering if you have any plans to review any of them? Cheers.

@3rdstone1 3 года назад

That sounds interesting, never knew Sea-Gull did divers.

@timmcdonald5335 3 года назад

@@3rdstone1 There is two. One is the Ocean Star (most well known one) and the other is a model 6057 I think (which I own). It is has a black pvd case and bezel like the Omega Planet Ocean Deep Black. Excellent quality and most legible diver I own and I can't believe no-one has reviewed it. 12mm thick. When on sale $250.

Well, darn ya, Jody, you've flung a craving on me again! I keep telling myself I don't need another diver, but now...I'm looking on Ali at the black, no-logo version, and I'm thinking, I'm thinking! Thanks as always for a great video!

I did pay any attention to this until the recent AliExpress sale and scored the Steeldive for $85US but the milled clasp is currently sold out so I'll have to wait a bit to make that upgrade. I'm hoping that it's as good as the one you reviewed- if so, it will be a steal! Thanks for the great and entertaining ideas on how I can spend more money! This really does look great at this price!

I've had my Steeldive Willard for a couple months and like it. It has misaligned indices at 10 and 5 but I still like it.

@ThemysteriousMrP 3 года назад

Love mine with one caveat. It’s my second one, First one badly failed a pressure test so had to have it replaced. Second one was fine. However might be a good idea to test your purchase if you plan on swimming with this one. Might be a good idea also to include a simple pressure test result on these cheaper divers? Just a thought! Nice review!

@jasonanderson8305 2 года назад

Ah, that sucks and been there. I originally had the steel dive and sent back to get the san martin. I dive, snorkel and surf and usually with a g shock just due to banging it on board, boat or the rocks. Been using the sanartin just as a torture test and so far so good. Have had it completely submerged for over an hour and most of that atndepths of 60 to 80 feet, deep enough to use nitrox. I can't find a better homage that is equal in quality as it is in looks.

Bought one of these in April. Love it. I think it’s one of the nicest watches in my collection and that includes BB58, Aquaracer, Oris pointer date, divers65, Sinn 104 etc. Couldn’t believe the quality for the money. Makes me question why I spend £1500. Apart from “in house” movements it’s essentially the same spec sheet. 316l SS, ceramic bezel insert, sapphire glass, signed crown, great lume and everything lines up.

@alastairheptonstall7982 3 года назад

I didn’t much enjoy my Pagani either. High on technical specs but overall a disappointing feeling watch with sharp edges on the bracelet and a very flat/cheap looking dial. But I’ve decided to give this Steeldive a go after hearing nothing but good things about them. If it doesn’t work out then it will be my last Ali watch. 🤞

@alastairheptonstall7982 3 года назад

Thought I’d just circle back and mention that I did purchase this Steeldive, and it is a completely different level of watch to Pagani. Maybe not quite the same level of case polish as my Seikos, but close. I can certainly highly recommend this one if you do want to risk another Ali watch.

I bought a black sterile dial version from "Addiesdive". The watch and packaging look identical to the Steeldive and I love it. I replaced the pressed clasp and do think the end links could have been better done but the watch was less than $90 during the 11/11 sale. I think it is a great watch and bracelet for the money.
