Before I even watch this I did get the yellow dial Steeldive with the rubber strap. Absolutely love it. Fantastic lume, great timekeeping. I've used it numerous times as backup to my dive computer so it's definitely water resistant. I have the original Tuna but loved that colour so much I had to have it... Now to your video., 😁
The comparison between this two pieces is misplaced as the PAGANI DESIGN homages the SEIKO AUTOMATIC BABY TUNA 200M SRP SERIES while the STEELDIVE homages the SEIKO TUNA QUARTZ 300M. Notable Differences are the crown on the PD is at the 3.8 and the Shroud shape/design and screw placement are identical to the Baby Tuna 200m. The bezel is different however. Also, the BABY TUNA has a 20mm lug opening and not a 22mm. This PD renders heavily on the BABY TUNA. The SD is an identical copy of the SEIKO TUNA 300M with the 4'O clock crown and identical bezel. The SEIKO 300M however, uses a 7c46 Quartz and not the 4R AUTOMATIC. SEIKO BABY TUNA 200M is a wise acquisition than any TUNA Homages as they are very affordable at $250-$390 in the U.S. Lastly, there is a lot of ingenuity and structural engineering that goes in building the SEIKO TUNA 300M QUARTZ thats why SEIKO does not use the HEV(Helium Escape Valve) on their Saturation dive watches. My suggestion is work hard, save your money and buy the real deal. Nothing like owning and wearing a genuine article. These Chines Homages are great for gifts to lets say a Teenage Son, Elderly Dad or even a friend but a True Enthusiast should never buy them. SEIKO Watches are relatively affordable and its inexcusable not to own a genuine timepiece. ORIENT is a great and much much cheaper alternative to SEIKO.
I must have been lucky with my Steeldive , a black one on an engineers steel bracelet. Yes, it’s not perfect, but I am very happy with it, as much as I love colour, not so happy with this yellow version.
Love the comparison. I have many Pagani's and a few Steeldive/ Addiesdive watches. My Tuna is a blue dial Addiesdive and I am very happy with it. I picked up a five link stainless steel bracelet for it.
The main problem for me when I first got this pd, was the hand. I don't like the black rubber style of hands. If they replace it with the silver version I will be more than happy to get another one
Both great looking watches, just let down by their terrible time keeping accuracy (typical nh35), if they did a decent quartz version (like the original Seiko tuna) I'd buy it immediately.
Honestly I don't believe the name of those watches fit them considering I would not think about a tuna when I look at those watches but the turtle on the back makes sense since they look like turtles with those case shapes. I like the steel dive just looks better made
i dont see what homage model the SD is, because i dont see this huge protector shroud higher than the bezel, on any seiko tuna models: not on the SPR, neither on the SLA or SNE series. all have a lower protector shroud. (which is also too short on the pagani lol)
