This Steeldive boasts 300m of water resistance, something I neglected to share in the video.
This took forever to be cleared through customs and finally delivered. This was totally the fault of FedEx. I failed to mention in the video that due to the hassle with Turkish customs, steeldives.com informed me that they will no longer deliver to customers in Turkey, that I am the last.
The documentation attached to the box was not accepted by the senior clearance administrator at FedEx, in Istanbul, since the stated price was less than what I paid. However Steeldive's customer service is still great for trying to accommodate its customers, they emailed me after my purchase to clarify what value I wanted claimed on the documentation. I told them to keep it honest, since I knew that the package would be inspected and that the website would also be consulted to verify pricing - I wanted no replay of the events last year, with the same clearance administrator that denied my Tactical Frog FX Diver from even going to customs for clearance. I think, in the end, Steeldive is probably using the unit cost on their documentation, for import declaration, but it's just that Istanbul FedEx has an over-zealous clearance administrator that is wired to deny clearance rather than STFU and pass the cargo through to customs to let the adults in the room clear the packages. It's like a security guard that wishes to be a police officer, so they pretend to have more authority than they actually do.
Long story short, they cleared the package, but they let it sit for weeks before they moved it to customs for inspection and tax tabulation. FedEx in Istanbul airport is a nightmare that I do not wish on anyone. They act like they are customs officers when they are merely employees of FedEx, whose number one priority ought to be the satisfaction of their customers. But no...

You have the V3 Clasp. Then the V2 which is not as nice.

Why do I see this watch listed for different prices on AliExpress ?

That is down to the fact that different prices on AE are actually being offered for sale from different stores. Each one of those acquired their inventory for different wholesale prices and have their own margins. It can also be that the stores are selling different versions of the watch. I bought this directly from the Steeldive website.

Hello from the Sunshine Island of Malta...Great review. I have a Steeldive "tuna" which I had for three years and still going strong. Looking into this as interested in getting a GMT with a white dial. What made you choose this over say the Pagani Design V4 or the Sugess? This seems to be more of a diver watch GMT?

The PD had two iterations: the 42mm that I loved, but with an unreliable Pearl movement. They also had the NH34, but in 40mm at a price to high for me to import into Turkey. The Sugess also had an unreliable movement, if I remember correctly. The Cadison was too cheap for me to trust. In the end, since I already had a Steeldive, which I love, the choice was made clear. However, the lume on this is disappointing compared to my SD 1974. But it's great otherwise. I would also have preferred black-framed indices similar to what is out there. Who knows, I may acquire exactly what I want later on. It wouldn't be the first time that I bought another brand's model for the features missing from the one I already own.

@@bidipbo...yes one also has to keep in mind the customs fees and import costs as that adds on to the price. Yes the Pagani Design NH34 looks interesting and so does the Addiesdive GMT but it's not automatic and doesn't come in a white dial.

Yes, I should think that is obvious, but you forgot to add the GMT complication. Also obvious to collectors of these ranges of watches is the quality for price proposition. The materials and finishing are amazing at the price point. It is not merely that it is an homage, but that it has been produced with the same machines and tolerances as the myriad of brands producing timepieces at much higher price points.
