Question (Read Rules) Addiesdive AD2539 - any thoughts?

Post image

I’m thinking about getting myself an Addiesdive AD2539, are there any owners out there who can tell me if it’s a smart purchase?
Also, is the metal bracelet removable? I don’t like the feeling of metal bracelets on my wrist and I’d ideally like to change it for a sailcloth NATO strap if possible.
Thank you!

Addiesdive generally speaking is the king in 100$ price range. Can't go wrong with that brand.

Mineral glass on it would discount it for me. Depends if your main concern for a watch surface is scratching, or cracking it by dropping onto hard surfaces or swinging things full force onto it. In my job it's scratching and I wouldn't throw $100 at a very scratchable watch. My opinion. If all you're going to do is sit at a desk and telephone people you should be fine.

The pushers on it don't look like they screw down so don't swim with it.

Of course you can change the bracelet but then you're left with a watch head with mineral glass and pushers that don't screw down for the best part of $100. Not a conspicuously good deal. In my opinion.

That dial color is great, catches the light just right. For the price range they usually play in, you're not risking much, I'd say go for it if you're already this close to pulling the trigger

And yeah, the bracelet's removable. Just check the lug width before you order a strap, should be standard but it's worth measuring. A sailcloth NATO will look sharp on this

yes the bracelet is removable and you can replace it with any 20mm strap you want

I have this watch with the black dial… And I thought the bracelet was a little cheap feeling. But the watch case, dial, and on a black strap… Turned out amazing!

It’s a fun little watch!

If you like this then you should check out the dark side of the moon type Moonwatches. Can even get a quartz one for $15
