To screw the crown in, turn it COUNTER clockwise slowly until you feel a slight click. That will be the threads lining up. Then you can screw the crown in clockwise without worrying about damaging the threads. A tiny bit of lube on threads every once in a while is good, too. Works on all threads, not just watch crowns.
Steeldive are fantastic value for money. I have two. The Willard and that one but in black. They really are Seiko in a different case. All the best👍🏾🇬🇧😉
I just ordered one, with the black dial. Got the one with the oyster bracelet. I was torn between this one and addiesdive,but people say the steeldive bracelet is better. 🤷♂️
I'm not knowledgeable on the Addiesdive automatic version. They are definitely not as popular or available than the Steeldive. My only question is whether the Addiesdive cyclops is lower magnification. I find the Steeldive cyclops to be over magnified. I own several of the Addiesdive quartz models and those cyclops are more normal but are also mineral instead of sapphire. I also own a Tiffany Blue SD1953 that I ordered with the oyster so I can swap jubilee and oyster between the two. I have reviewed that watch also on my channel. Thanks for watching.
I had a feeling AliExpress had a warehouse location in the United States. There are some stores and sellers with the same product that can't deliver to Canada. Possibly due to the exporting/customs duty taxes. That's a great watch at that price! Good detailed video brother 🍻👊🏽
I was planning on purchasing one but it appears to be some confusion in the information provided. Based on the pictures, it seems the bezels are made of metal(no lume). However, there are users stating they have received the watch with a ceramic grey bezel.
Yes there are different versions. There is a newer version with aluminum bezel insert that looks like Yacht Master (non-lumed). I purchased mine at Steeldive Store on aliexpress.
Incredible value for the money if you like sub style watches. Mine is running about -2 s/d on the wrist so I will need to regulate it on the Timegrapher. See my other video.
I picked up the Hulk quartz version, £25. Incredible value. Fit and finish is great. Lume is great and betters some of my watches costing alot more. Last until the morning with ease. - 2s/d, excellent.
@@a0r0a7 I also picked up Addiesdive sub quartz Starbucks (most likely same factory as Steeldive). Has same BGW9 lume. I don't mind a Miyota Japan quartz. Set it and forget it. The second hand aligns perfectly with indices. I have a review on my channel.
Could you please check MINIMUM size that jubilee strap can be adjusted? I have 6 inch wrist and im wondering is it possible to buy jubilee variant instead of oyster, much appreciated
Yes. 6 inch should not be a problem. I have about a 6.5 inch wrist and I can still remove three links and have 3 holes of micro adjust available. 1 link = 1/4 inch.
@@mtbbiker6401 Excuse me, could you please tell me which variant have more spare "links" for my 6" wrist, as you said on your 6.5" you still have 3 links and more micro adjustment (jubilee), how about the oyster one? Thanks alot
@@simple4321 I removed 5 links on the oyster and have it on the last hole of micro adjustment (largest position). I can reduce it another 0.45 inch by using the first hole. I can also remove one more link. Each link is 0.40 inch. Hope this helps.
rata rata orang membeli dan mereview SD1953 grey dengan lume terang di bazel ceramik,tetapi jarang orang memikirkan sisi negatifnya bila sering tergores melukai lume dibazel dan itu akan jelek sekali 😂.saya setahun yang lalu memilih 1953 grey dengan tanpa lume dibazel dan itu sangat bagus sampai sekarang padahal sering bergesekan dengan barang yang keras dan tidak takut merusak lume di bazelnya...ini hanya opini dan pengalaman saya karna saya juga mempunyai kapten wilard yang juga mempunyai lume dibazel dan karena sering bergesekan sehingga merusak lume di bazel
that's a good point but one of the main features of this watch is the bezel lume which sets it apart from other sub homage watches. It's good to have options.
@@mtbbiker6401anda sangat benar pak ada kekurangan dan ada kelebihan..memang kelebihan lume bazel ini sangat keren ...semoga channelnya semakin rame dan jangan bosen untuk terus mereview jam jam homage murah meriah dengan kwalitas yang super ok terima kasih sudah merespon komenku pak🙏👍
I was wondering why there were two different prices listed on AliExpress adverts. $8 US difference must be due to the clasp upgrade you mentioned. Just bought one. Many thanks 🙏 for the review
The SteelDive'53 is the Rolex of watch value. Classic looks - Seiko NH35A reliability & accuracy. Lume is insanely good. Outstanding value for money. I have the black face but grey with cream bezel numbers looks v. nice.
Totally agree. It's definitely the best automatic sub homage for the money especially when on sale for $50 USD. Addiesdives makes the best quartz version (same lume) for $25.
That's odd. I ordered another SD1953 with oyster bracelet and it has the same clasp as the one in this video. It has 6 holes for micro adjustment. SteelDive has an updated V3 clasp that has an applied 3D logo on the clasp. It doesn't have any micro adjust holes but it has an adjustment hidden under the clasp similar to glidelock. Maybe you received that one.
Yes. It seems like a nice quality bracelet. I have it adjusted down to my 6.5 inch wrist and it can still go smaller. My only complaint is the protruding male end links which technically adds some lug to lug width but that's a minor gripe.
true. The NH35 movement can be purchased for about $25 USD on aliexpress. I picked up a NH36 on sale for $20 to build my own watch. This Steeldive SD1953 watch is an incredible value especially if you catch it on sale for $60. I wish they would offer a non-date or non-cyclops version also.
Don’t think I saw the grey one, looks nice Got the black one on a jubilee and Black and green on a oyster, on its way They are are very nice esp for the cost £53 inc del etc
You will enjoy them. I also purchased the light blue (Tiffany Blue) dial with black bezel on oyster. These were on sale for $48USD. Difficult not to purchase every colorway. I'm glad the sale is over so I can take a break from purchasing watches.

Thanks for the showcase, indeed there’s no grey dial and very little jubilee bracelet with this model, cool stuff

I didn't think the V3 clasp was worth the extra money. Maybe if it didn't have that large applied logo I would have upgraded.
I got one on the way!

The gray color looks pretty good👌
Is the material of cyclop sapphire too?
yes. I checked it with my tester.
Thanks for the review. One question, is the jubilee bracelet good, and is it adjustable for a 6.75 inch wrist or is ti too big?
Yes. It seems like a nice quality bracelet. I have it adjusted down to my 6.5 inch wrist and it can still go smaller. My only complaint is the protruding male end links which technically adds some lug to lug width but that's a minor gripe.
Also, not a fan of the engraved logo on the clasp.
£48 on Aliexpress at the mo.
A seiko movement alone is cost of watch aaa value

That's a beautiful watch
yes, especially for the low price.
That case is very thick and more of a deep sea Rolex. How heavy is that thing.
14mm thick including crystal. 155g sized for 6.5 inch wrist. 165g with all included links.
Steeldive also makes a Deep Sea 45mm version. SD1964. It's 17mm thick!
@@mtbbiker6401 I see that and thanks very much for the feedback. I getting one of them; grey looks best. Hva gd summer.
Whats the Deal with Steeldive / Addisdive? Is it the Same. Sub-Company? The Watch Looks Solid!
From what I've read, they were the same company at one time.
@@mtbbiker6401 love it.
grey ?
