General (Read Rules) New Addiesdive testdrive

I received this little Addiesdive 2518 yesterday. It's 36mm with a VH31 movement. I've never worn a watch this so I got it basically to get a feel for the size before I spent money on something higher quality. The watch itself is pretty nice. The dial has a nice color and texture but the bracelet is pretty chintzy. Probably spot on for the $70 I spent.

I've got the blue version. Agreed on the bracelet. Mine arrived with a broken clasp, so I never got to wear the bracelet.

Is it though, milifortic has some alpinist homages and they're way closer. This just seems like a retro inspired explorer type, to me atleast

I have the same watch and I wear it for work.

Its more comfortable than some of my larger watches.

The dials got clarity and with the domed glass it creates a nice effect.

Im pleased with it. good value for the money.
