    Great watch for that money,even the cyclops is really strong.

    Insane value for money. You pay more just for the movement alone from some places. That dials very sweet too.

    I got the Starbucks version on the black rubber strap. The rubber was a bit binding so I got a 904 ss glide lock bracelet for it and for the roughly $50.00 price paid for the watch and a bit more for a proper bracelet. It's now perfect... Enough for me.

    Brilliant dial! 40 pounds is insane price point wow. Pretty much the cost of the movement they just hope to sell like 10,000 of them to make maybe 10,000 dollars at that price? Hard to imagine they are making any money at all with these at that price, maybe a way to get people onto their brand. Solid watch, great review as always and nearly at 10k subs Simon!!!!!!! Hot dam way to go bro!

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  2 місяці тому +2

      You’re bang on mate, they really can’t be making much profit on these watches given the prove and thanks man, onwards and upwards with the channel, got some really good ideas for the future 👍👍

    Winner winner chicken dinner! That turquoise sunburst dial is a homerun. It's about time for some bolder and cooler colorways than the basic few from Rolex. The turquoise bezel is even prettier.

    Thanks for the great review. The one watch I just can’t bring myself to buy is a Sub Homage. And that’s just me, but you are definitely not the first person to think this is the best Sub Homage / Dive Watch value on AliExpress. Terrific watch otherwise. Thanks again!

    • @WatchtheTime

    Great review, I do like that dial 👍. I've never liked the Sub case shape particularly the wide lug version, the cyclops or the Mercedes hand.

    I picked one up on a Jubilee for £42 + tax. Sensational value, really. A black with turquoise trim silicone strap arrived today in case I want to swap for the summer! Have you thought about reviewing the Tandorio NH34 GMT GS homage. It's VERY nice!

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  2 місяці тому +1

      That strap sounds like it’s made for the watch, great choice man and yes, I have looked at that particular Tandorio watch, so watch this space (pun intended) 👍👍

    I have a sd1954c on the way, has orange lume on the bezel and hands from a sd1979 i believe, no date. The lume is three different colors

    I had this watch (black dial) and loved it, indeed a great value and all, BUT that magnification is exaggerated and extremely bothering so i sold it. Oh well 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the review.

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  2 місяці тому +3

      That’s a shame mate, the cyclops on this one was as good as I’ve ever seen on an affordable watch. Thanks for watching 👍👍

  • @markfogel3682
    @markfogel3682 Місяць тому +1

    I got this one! It quickly be became my daily! The dial works best on sunny days for me, really make it pop. Very versatile too no complaints for me.. 10 times cheaper than my Seiko monster which is nuts if you think about it.

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  Місяць тому +2

      I can see why and when you make the comparison you do about the Seiko Monster, it really adds a bit of perspective. Am glad you like it mate 👍👍

  • @hitsugayat10
    @hitsugayat10 2 місяці тому +4

    Definitely not the best value for me anymore after getting a crappy grey bezel one from them...the printing for the 15min index on the bezel is literally bad...the 12 o'clock one is off by almost half a click to the left while the 15min/3 oclock index is half a click to the right making the entire 15min bezel looked like a 16min bezel...it is so damn glaring that i decided to stop buying from them..to make it worse, i actually ordered the yachtmaster style but was sent the grey bezel one...

    But is it waterproof?
    Calling it a dive watch is wrong if it isn't proofed to at least 6 atms, then it becomes just a bulky watch that looks like a dive watch

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  2 місяці тому +2

      I don’t agree mate. 200 meters is more than enough for most things anyone who’s not a deep sea diver needs. This watch isn’t certified but am sure it would be fine for swimming etc 👍👍

    Great review, although I wish you had a different accent, I always think of cheese when I hear someone talking like that, although I suppose ones accent, can't be helped. Nevermind, the detailed review more than made up for it. Good job 👍
