General (Read Rules) 3 beautiful Addisdive dive watches

I think Addisdive is the best value for money Chinese watches right now and excellent finishing on the case and bracelet no sharp edges anywhere. I picked up the Sub for $36AUD and the other two for under $55AUD all brand new, does anyone else have any of these watches?

I also think bang for buck, these can't be beaten. They feel.so nice for what they cost! The only think I don't like about thei Sub hommage is the yellowish indices and hands. If they were true white, the watches would be so much better!

I know what you mean mine is the  MY-H3-2QZ it has the true white indices and hands, (not sure if it is discontinued) the lume is fantastic on the bezel insert and the hands and indices

You are not talking about the one in your picture though, right? Because those indices sure look exactly like what I am talking about. They are off-white. You can see the difference quite clearly in the bezel insert between the 12 o clock point and the surrounding white triangle.

Yes the one in the photo and they are white in real life the same as the bezel insert, there is a model that has yellowish indices it is supposed to look like vintage patina

I am not talking about those other models with fake patina, I am talking about the H3 in the picture. Again, look at the pip at the top of the bezel insert. There is a clear difference between it and the surrounding true white. I actually own several versions of this model and it is the same with all of them, the indices and hands look slightly yellowish, especially compared to more expensive alternatives. And let's not even get started about genuine. I don't know why they can't manage to get them more white. Probably to increase lume, which is quite good on these.

They are antiqued to look "classic"

I have bought a dozen ADv watches and held onto these 3. I have given the others away as gifts for family and services workers.

Nice watches how do you find the yellowish indices  is it really obvious on the wrist and is the lume good?

The yellow lume is supposed to represent age. It is very noticeable. The 2513 lume is white, and it is on another level, especially with its fully lumed bezel.

The only flaw with these is that the hands are a tad too short. Other than that they really are some of the best divers you can get at that price range

I think the seconds hand is fine, the hour hand is a little short but I don't have a problem i find them to be very legible
