    And yes I fully agree with the assessment the steeldive is an excellent watch for the price however the Kronos is definitely worth the extra money overall it is a lot nicer watch but like I always say ignorance is bliss

    I was never a fan of the new subs, in any colour, thus i don't keep an eye on them. I have a copy of a vintage gilt one, pleased with it. Happy you enjoy these, as many do.
    Cheers mate, be well.
    Prices go up and down cause of different shops (all official unofficial...or vise versa!!!), discounts, sales, superdeals, coins etc.
    Fun fact, you may find the same shop having massive discounts one day, and while "pieces" are flying away, prices creep up, reaching almost the (so called) usual price. Common tactics of sales, first that see it jump in, rest are paying bit more, until non common users find them in a price they think it's a bargain. Works, if you don't pay attention/don't know the game. Just prick up your ears, as you say over there! 😋
    But in the end of the day, getting watches in the area of 40-60 euros, all in (tax, shipping, etc) ain't bad to enjoy these fun pieces.

      Cheers Stav ☺️ I think the greenback is my fav version of the subby, I'm not gangsta enough to wear a gilt one 🤣 good point on the pricing and yeah they love their games...

    I have a full black SD1953 and am happy enough with it. Having recently purchased a my first Cronos, a homage to the Tudor Black Bay 39mm non-diver, I’ll say the overall quality of Cronos is far better but in terms of bang for buck, SD is fantastic.

    You are not the first to sing it praises! Seems that Cronos have a winner in this one. I think the price fluctuates due to real time stock levels and supplier costs. The must have a system that checks and adapts accordingly. Nope you got me... I have no idea why their are two different priced ones. Maybe its a reseller. Maybe they changed the lume type or the clasp in some way... The Cronos seems more refined but the Steeldive is a true, good quality, no nonsense work watch. Its astonishing to see what both of these companies can do for the price!

    I picked up the SD1953 Hulk on an Oyster bracelet in the last Ali sale for £33.43 delivered. I agree that Ali is a crap shoot but I must have got lucky with this one; bezel and cyclops align perfectly, crown screws down well, lume evenly applied, NH35 running at +1s per day. The only nitpick is the end link tolerances could be tighter but that's it. Also, I much prefer the Steeldive clasp vs the R*lex style version. Great review.

    My PT5000 Cronos regulated to -2/+4 sec per day - chronometer spec. Although I will say the gasket was bone freakin dry when I opened the case and had to grease it up myself.

    The cronos says 200m on the dial, u said they are both 300m. Also that's why the cronos is a thinner watch. Just saying

    The Rolex Submariner is the best, followed by the Tudor Black Bay 58.
    These are cheap imitation watches.
