Just got it for U$ 46.00! Now it's just endure the waiting. Can not go wrong at such price! EDIT: It arrived and the value for money is just WOW! U$46.00 is almost unbelievable.
I just got this watch on the 17 th. I can't believe it as I ordered it on 11-11. I got the SS bracelet. It is so comfortable. I have almost perfect alignment of the bezel and the second hand dots ( the 120 click bezel helps, but the alignment is very good on mine. No time grapher but it ran tight the last 24 hours. This watch is a hit for me at least. Did not expect to love it like I do.
I have one for over 2 years. I live in Ireland. I bought it from Steeldive UK before Brexit tax issue kicked in. Best buy ever. I adjusted the time twice, over two days, by pushing the brass top stud on the time adjuster a tad anti clockwise as it was running 2 mins in 24 hours slow. Voila I got lucky! It is now 4 seconds slow in 24 hours. Incredible! It got magnetized twice from my mobile phone magnetized cover strap. I bought the cheap blue demagnetizer from Ali Express along with a blue two stud adjustable back case cover remover. I found the demagnetizer worked perfectly when one holds the watch slightly above it and removes it upwards slowly turning the power off at a height of about 5 inches above it!
@@ismailkaanaricithey are everywhere I just bought one for about $9 and some change. You only have to put in demagnetizer and look for a blue one they are all the same. There are different videos on these devices on UA-cam that you probably are aware of.
I have this same watch; I agree with you 100% this is easily the best value-for-money watch on the market right now. For the pricepoint, what it delivers is phenomenal.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 very good video I like it when you open the watch app show the movement I’ve been over four days looking for a video where they open the watch app and nobody does it only you did it trying to see what the movement is inside. Good job.
I just bought another one of these, this time in blue. The case changed slightly around the crown guards. The bracelet is much better. The only thing that went the wrong way is the lume application on the hands. My first SD1970 is after several years much brighter and more even. It's as bright as the indicies on the new one. But as bang for the buck, these are the best. And yes, you can dive without any problem with these watches.
I have the watch on a bracelet and it is a beauty . Looks a lot more expensive than it is. Like you the crown is rather difficult to operate, but its not something that is used everyday.
I put mine on an Uncle Seiko GL831 rubber strap and haven't looked back lol this watch just looks the business, ready for adventure wherever you find it.
Great review, agreed it's amazing value for money. I just bought my third one in blue. I noticed some subtle changes and upgrades from the older ones I bought about a year ago. The main one is the improved clasp👍
I have bought 3. 2 PT5000 and a Nh35. The Pt's are a little temperamental regarding the keyless works function, but I've investigated and this is due to the Chinese being a clone of the ETA2824, which has the same issues. It does not hack or always start and in the first one I got, the stem and crown came off the movement when I tried to hack it. So I got a second one and had similar issues, so I decided to better settle with a NH35 which is bomb-proof albeit slower BPH and maybe less "refined". My advice, is to get the Seiko powered one.
I did not know this, thank you so much for this information. Previously I had been considering that movement. I've already got a drawer full of nh35 and they work fine.😂 Lesson learned here, just leave well enough alone.
@@bigriceburner I swapped the PT for a "better" quality one it has the HK PT5000 stamped and it has worked like a charm. With the ones that come from the factory is a hit and miss,but the original ones are beautiful, almost cosc workhorses.
Thanks for opening the back and letting us see the movement to see what it looks like I was wondering if it’s a real NH35 or a cheap copy, but looks ok, thanks I just bought one but haven’t got it yet,
Great review and camara shots. I followed your recommendation and waited for this 11/11 sale, and could grab this watch for $47 usd, and expect to pay zero taxes when it arrives; hopefully it will get here in 2 to 3 weeks. Great work, best regards!
@@ihmpall even though I searched the internet for extra codes for discounts, what I did was collect all the coupons I could inside the App and collected coins for around 2 weeks prior to the sale. All the discounts didn't apply the same way for other models or brands of watches, but for the SD 1953 and the SD 1970 they did, and I opted for the 1970 model
Mine should be here today. I considered hemdahller, Rdunae, Tandorio, and most everything that looks like a Willard. The Rdunae is closer to what the original was and it appears to be the most finely finished one under macro, which I put all my new watches through. But I'll only look at it that closely once if there are flaws and imperfections I'll gamble on it. Recently I got their hulk green/black sub homage and I see no issues anywhere at all. That's why I want to give this model a try. We are at least in version two of his piece.. I know the quality will be there as they have had time to perfect the total package. I'm binge watching apocalypse now just to get ready for it's arrival.😊
hi there. my sd1970 goes +2s a day when it is on table or on my wrist and im sitting in office. when I move my arms violently when I walk in park it can accelerate rapidly and after 40 minutes it gains +10s. it that normal ? or it is broken ?
Я не желаю платить много сотен долларов за Сейко, в которых штампованный браслет, алюминиевый безель и минеральное стекло, а кучу денег берут фактически за название бренда.
I already ordered one.. but it is strange that on every channel that reviews this watch tons of positive reviews are all from accounts using name1234 style names. Weird.
A while back YT went through and assigned new channel names for everybody. I dont know if the number is because I (or we) didnt respond or if the numbers represent channel types.
not steeldive, but stealdive... everything regarding this so called , watch, is ''stolen'' . total waste of money . get a vintage 7002 instead, a real seiko

Reading about Steeldive crpwn and stem issues have kinda put me off buying them. bought the Addies version instead.
Since the strap is 20mm; I'd prefer it not have a taper at all.
Do i wind these or selfwind?
Ottimo orologio. L'ho comprato pure io...

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to find 20mm rubber straps long enough for an 8” wrist.
lose weight
The best willard homage is the rdunae
Closest to the original maybe, but why better?
...its a piece of crap, compared to this one.
It has its flaws, but for the price I think is a very good deal.

I just don't like the lug part which is only 20 mm. According to you, the lugs could be sanded to make them wider to 22mm😂.
Hahaha !...you are hilarious ,...the original was 19mm.
36.5mm lug to lug? or 46.5mm?
46.5
After about a week of research, I pulled the trigger on this guy last night. Great video, thanks for verifying my purchase!
@@ryanreese5885 Congrats! It's really impressive in hand. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

perfect watch, i have many seiko *citizen eco drives, but i where this sd1970 Willard watch from USA every day, +1 second /per day. NH35 !!
i got mine two weeks ago NH35, +1 second per day too .. incredible ! like a quartz :)
not steeldive, but stealdive... everything regarding this so called , watch, is ''stolen'' . total waste of money . get a vintage 7002 instead, a real seiko
These only exist because Seiko is pricing its watches way too high. It has a real Seiko movement so it's essentially a Seiko. Deal with it.
@@Ninjamlm yeah right . real seiko movements inside ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@NinjamlmMore Seiko than Seiko!
Hahaha, if this watch price were 400 USD it would be a waste of money, but for 100 USD is very good, stop crying here for other people money.
@@samogx86 don't give a fuck about other people's money. It's all about that shit watches. Sold for 100 but their reai value is 20 usd
