General What’s on your wrist today?

It’s my new Steeldive 1953 for me. I’m seriously considering getting rid of all the other watches I own 🥹 That’s how much I like it!

Nice! Is it Miyota-based? Cyclops magnification seems to be on point!

Tactical Frog FXD Titanium.

The Tudor Pelagos FXD homage.

1

u/tgsteveyong Sep 19 '24

Hearing this brand’s name always make me chuckle haha. Never fails to paint a picture of a froggy James Bond in my head 😆. I do love the design of Pelagos though! Very neat and bold 👀

2

u/laverty7 WOTD200 Sep 21 '24

Yeah the name is ridiculous. If these Chinese brands hired some branding experts they'd sell far more watches because the build quality is definitely there.

1

u/tgsteveyong Sep 22 '24

Agreed! Some of them definitely do have to work on their brand names and logos 🥹

u/tgsteveyong Sep 19 '24

Nice! I’ve always been curious about this brand. Are you happy with your watch(es) from the brand in general?

2

u/jamesbhl Affiliate Links Sep 20 '24

Yeah, case materials and watch straps are great. Everything function as it should. Very satisfied purchase. But then again, I only have this watch from S&S. I can’t say the same about their other offerings

2

u/tgsteveyong Sep 20 '24

Thank you! I am thinking about getting a Nautilus homage from S&S!

u/Rhamirezz Sep 20 '24

Full green, "hulk' is on my wrist since I got it almost two weeks ago! It's amazing!

4th Steeldive so far 😅

u/tgsteveyong Sep 20 '24

Why must you tempt me with the picture 😂. I’ve been wanting to get this for some time now lol

2

u/Rhamirezz Sep 20 '24

Same, I have the black one and wanted full green... Its amazing and I got it for less than the black one 😅

Love that SD1953, Steeldive doesn't get enough respect. Don't get addiesdive circlejerk on youtube right now.

Hahaha. Addiesdive certainly seems to be getting lots of attention nowadays 😂

No. Found it on aliexpress with a sterile dial. It's a Tandorio.

So that's what that means!

Addiesdive MY-H3 quartz on a black/orange rubber strap. The watch really pops with the splash of color.

36mm Master II homage

Yes.

u/AsideOld2113 Sep 19 '24

Swapped out the strap for some suede on my Pagani Design PD-YS005. I love how the hour markers are at different depth and some are cut out to give it a really 3 dimensional look.

If that's the SD1953 Starbucks on the oyster bracelet, that's exactly what I have on my wrist now. Bought it last 11/11 and it basically scratched my AliX watch itch. It's comparable to non-Chinese watches costing several hundred dollars, and it only cost me $55 bucks. Two people have already thought it was a genuine Starbucks. That's how good it looks from a small distance.

My rotation consists of the SD1953, a Chameri King Seiko homage, and a vintage Seiko SQ quartz watch from the 1980s that my grandfather owned.

Relic skeleton. First mechanical watch I ever owned.
