Deep Blue Alpha Marine 500: Still Embarrassing Seiko
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.พ. 2021
- Here's my take on Deep Blue's incredibly cool and new Alpha Marine 500 dive watch. Building on the long term popularity and success of the Master 1000 watch, the Alpha pushes the coolness envelope even further. Bold markings, fully lumed faces (wow, take a look), ceramic bezels, sapphire crystals, great hands, and 500 meter water resistance. The Alpha Marine 500 is powered by a Japanese handmade Miyota 9015 Movement, 28,800 VPH 24 jewels, 42 hour power reserve, and an applied Parashock system inside.
When I reviewed this watch, every single color looked good to me..you just can't go wrong. Interchange the excellent Deep Blue straps or your own for more color possibilities. The SS rice beads, engineer, oyster, and jubilee bracelets are discussed. I encouraged and got DB to offer these in silicone straps to save you money...see inside.
Again we see Deep Blue in their style, sizing, hands execution, case treatments, and value frequently embarrass Seiko. They just do. And when purchased smartly the value also dominates many of the Seiko divers as well. Yep, they're some of my fave watches, great job Deep Blue.

The Deep Blue Alpha Marine dive watch review! These are high style fully lumed pieces that will make you happy...they do me! I'll smack talk at Seiko a little bit, show one of theirs I like, and will remind you again how great the M1K is too. Then we get to biz and I'll make my case on the AM500.

Hello
Nutn, you ever wear vostoks?
How do you still support benchmade they donated strictly to anti gun candidates in 2018 and look how they are coming after our guns you should nuke every benchmade video
I love the cornfield bomber on the table, that alone is worth watching this review for.
any chance you still have and would sell that 500 in orange with the white face?? I LOVE IT and its not available now.
Don't tell my wife... I bought 4 deep blue watches after this review. Omg the madness!
Damn it, you sent me down the rabbit hole with these watches! I'm digging them!!
Oh man nutnfancy those are some sick watches I've just ordered my first deep blue watch today thanks again for the review!!
I bought a 44mm Deep Blue in a flat green after watching your older video on it. Sapphire up front and the display caseback, also keeps a +5sec or under accuracy. What an amazing buy with SO many options. Keep up the great work!
I have been hoping they come out with a 12, 3, 6, and 9 face so I got gitty about this video.
Great another awesome watch I "need" to buy, love the watch vids deep blue wasn't on my radar but now it is! Also thay 40% code is great thanks for hooking us up!
Not sure if you ever did get one? Just do it , seriously.
i PURCHASED A ORANGE BAND PRO TRACKER WATCH BECAUSE OF YOUR WATCH VIDEOS.. I THINK I HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS.. LOVE THE WATCH..THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WORK..
Watching this wearing my Casio PRG-600 Nutn made me buy. I love this watch.
Thanks for the code!! Had to jump on a DB!! Saved almost $100!!
We have had the TNP knives. Now we need that TNP special edition watch!
Eat shiz commies watch!!!

Just found your channel and subscribed. Great review. I have 4 Deep Blue watches and love them all. I'm ordering this Alpha Marine 500 today last day of a sale for $249!!! That's a steal. Best value in a divers watch imo.
Thank you again, and looking forward to watching many more of your reviews 👍
Got the orange dial version on oyster bracelet last week, “what a watch”!!
I love it! 😍
Update: bought this watch a year or so ago, today it died from a drop waist height onto a hard floor. Band got caucht on a backpack strap and it disassembled itself. Called deep blue, no answer, sent an email, no answer yet. I'll never buy another one.
Love the review! I just bought an aqua marine 500 with white and red face and a white band to be another option to my tag heuer calibre 8. I almost bought 2 watches! I'm not into diving watches, but the am500 is gorgeous
Deep Blue rocks! Own three myself.
Very happy to hear about the strap options. been looking to get into a dive watch of sorts because I like the bezel for its timing function and most of them have good looks. Probably going to get a NATO strap 🤘
Nobody is better at reviewing products then you nutnfancy. From 2008 to right now your table top reviews are the best. 10/10
NutY! thanks for the link for %40 off. i didn't order the alpha bro, sorry, but i ordered the... Master 1000 with silver sundry for myself and the Ladies rose gold mother of pearl for my wife. thanks for all you do, we will see you on the other platform and patron - as a new member
god bless you and the fam'

Those are really good looking. Wish I knew about them 2 weeks ago before I ordered my Glycine Combat Sub.
Just picked up one of their Tritium Daynight PC Diver watches with your discount. Love the aesthetics on that model.
Beautiful watches and great value for the money, love the two orange variants. My dislike for your mods is only matched by your dislike for hands outlined in shiny metal! Still love my Seiko 013, but love these also.
Awesome find nutn.
Dude Nutn I am going Broke!!!!!! Must have this watch!
Just got 1000 II with mother of pearl tinted dial. Used to have full lume Invicta
Nice I'm wearing the blue and orange run on a metal band right now LOL I love it
I've had it for about a month now, and it's my first "nice" watch. The metal band is heavy but reliable and well made. The whole thing is. I'm going to put it on an orange NATO canvas strap tomorrow. This is a watch I think I'll hold on to and pass down to my kids. Just like you bro, it makes me very happy to own one! I couldn't say no to that teal blue and orange dial
Most of these don't speak to me, but the teal dial with the orange silicone band is an amazing combo.
Ive wanted a Rolex submariner for years.. just cant afford to shell out 8000 on a watch. Just bought a watch with the same classic aesthetic for 200 w/ CC. thanks Nuttttin!! I'll be sure to take a pic and shoot to you in thanks and glorious awe. D
I have an alpha marine 500! Too heavy and big for me but this video made me wanna wear mine haha
Would like to see a review on manual, self winding watches, with no battery. Hope to see one soon. Thanks
Nice watches gonna have to look into these. Data Point on a Casio 3157 SGW-100B Purchased in 2006 time frame from Wally World on clearance. I think less than $20 bucks. I was very cheap, uh, High Value then.The battery died. sigh.. Those sorry cheap Casio watches! LOL. Replace the battery or get a new one? Decisions Decisions. One thing I learned about some GA-100 G-Shock colors, have the charcoal gray with blue/teal markings. They tend to be a more Outdoor daylight vs. Indoor use. When out and about during the day perfect, but go inside. Tired eyes really have to focus to see it. No worries. Great Vid!
citizen ny0040-09w for the full lume. Good luck finding it.
Nice watch...
The owl is on the shed...
Got an outstanding looking DB T100 Diver as a gift from my son a while back. I immediately began using it as my daily wearer. I was so pleased with the fit and finish and, especially, with the extra bright tritium all over the dial! Over all, I was thrilled with the watch and was eager to buy several more! A friend saw mine and also wanted several!
Over a very short period of time I noticed the tritium quickly dimming more and more. It wasn't gradual but a rapid dimming. I was very disappointed but certain they would fix it and take care of the matter in a efficient and timely manner. Just goes to show how wrong you can be!
Deep Blue took no ownership over the issue and told me they would not be resolving the tritium issue. They added that I could, for hundreds dollars, send it in and they would replace the tritium at my expense. They also added that if I did choose to send it to them, the turn around time would be quite long with no return date estimate available. This was completely unacceptable to me and just awful Customer Service.
So because their watch was a gift from my son, I kept it instead of tossing it in the river due to their poor service! Instead of wearing it and buying several more, mine just sits in a box. Too bad, I really liked that watch and DB.
These things happen! Maybe just a bad batch of tritium? All they had to do was stand by their product and replace the tritium or replace the watch? Deep Blue couldn't do that so I have replaced them with Citizen and Seiko.
Yes sir. If you understand or not was not the point. Deep Blue showed me no customer service whatsoever and didn't stand behind their product to MY, the customer, satisfaction. Therefore I choose not to endorse them positively nor will I be doing future business with them. As I may have mentioned, I really liked the watch line and was interested in buying additional units. That is no longer true. My prerogative and my money. Why does that seem to irritate a year since my posting? Never mind, a rhetorical question and I don't care.
Yes sir, I made my case in writing to them and they denied my claim and then had the nerve to send an outrageously high estimate to replace the lume. I was trying to be reasonable and just wanted them to stand behind their product and their CS claims and make it right? Not personal, just business
You’re going to get me collecting these deep blue diver’s watches 😍. I wear the Luminox F117 black out edition. Matte black bezel and case, sapphire crystal face. Full numeric numbers which are a little shiny but black. Made a paracord cobra weave band for it in black also. It’s got a very black ops look to it. This watch is a tank, virtually indestructible. I’m with you on non shiny surfaces.
Beautiful watches
Just saw an advertisement earlier about Bristol aviator watches with pieces of A-10 aircraft artifact displayed in case back and other planes as well. Thought it sounded pretty interesting but I don’t know that they’re any good. I believe they’re a little over $500 which is out of my personal price range but the face was appealing to me. I. Believe they had an F-15 Eagle model as well
Any chance you still have and would sell the orange/white face, or the Orange face watches? I LOVE those 2 and they are not available in a similar design for the 1000 series.....wish they still had these 2!!! LOVE THEM
That invicta on a shiney metal bracelet
One day at about 45 feet a barracuda showed up six feet long and i thought that watch made a good lure!!
NEVER shiny steel dive watch or band again!!
I’m not a watch guy I know i know.. I still like this video and let it play
I hear ya Nutn...I hate my shit shiny....if it ain't dull I freak.
The deeps are addictive, all the fun of a custom seiko without too high of a price, great for making a bouqet.
Nutn, whats your opinion on the best budget bolt action in 30.06? I was considering the savage axis or ruger American. Any others I should consider? I already have .308. Just looking to expand my caliber options
My grandpappy wore a Seiko, my daddy wore a Seiko, and I wear a Seiko!
can you please review the diver 1000 40mm version, I love to try them but need some experienced opinions :D
I want to buy a deep blue but can't decide on there white dial or the orange deep blue marine 500.
Whitch has the brighter full Face lume, and how long does the lume last.
Cheers Paul.
So many to pick from, nutn. Too bad I can only afford one.
I recently bought a stealth non-metallic lightweight version of a Deep Blue diver. Love the tritium tubes but do NOT like the reflectivity of the flat sapphire. I don't think my version comes with an AR coating and all I see when I look at the face is whatever light source is behind me.
I've tried researching if an AR coating can be applied but that seems like a dead end.
How long will the face stay illuminated? I might want to check the time at 2 a.m 🙂
Hey Nutnfancy how much do you charge for custom watches?what is the process like if I wanted to buy a watch then have you put your own art in it?
Hey bro i ordered 3 watches of ebay i got the two for now and its weard they keep dying i know its auto but shouldint it last a day or two
The ones I have in couple hours the watch stops working
Or thats normal? Im sorry im newbie
Citizen has a few diver full lumed watches.
Hates the 009 and 007... busts out a Seiko 5 Chonker... smh
Both have their pros and cons.
@@KillingMoon_ like a Glock 19 it's very reliable, it doesn't have everything, but you can mod it to get it to where you want it to be....
What’s the weight on one of these with a synthetic strap?
Wonder why no crown guards on the Alpha 500's ?
These are designed in the US and made in Hong Kong? Also, would be cool to see a review on the Deep Blue titanium lefty diver.
Nutn, can you go 120 ft to test the DB Alpha?
How are these watches holding up? I hear that the qc and customer service is garbage . I would like to buy one but a little hesitant .
I just received my Master 1000 ii and it's VERY well built. Where can you get a 300M ISO rated dive watch with a helium valve, sapphire crystal, exhibition back, 120 click ceramic bezel for this price? Also, the NH35 movement is tried and true and is bullet proof, you can regulate them to be very accurate. Remember, it's an automatic watch, not a quartz movement. Even the movement in the Omega Seamaster 300 professional dive watch, caliber 8800, is */- 5 seconds a day - very similar to a regulated NH35 movement (even some out of the box are that accurate). That watch will cost you around $4,000!!! The lume is decent and can clearly read it just fine in the dark after 8 hours. The 120 click bezel is accurate and tight. Right now you can get the Master 1000 ii 45MM for $99. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I got 2 of them and expected them to be fairly cheaply built when I opened them. I couldn't believe how beautiful made they are and it has a very good quality silicone strap.
No crown guard is a huge loose imo. Not just for durability but to help with snagging
I’m a simple man:
I see F106 on the table and I click
Come on Nutn, put one on the end of some fishing line and drop it a few hundred feet to see how it holds up.
Casio Duro!
There is literally not a "watch guy" on earth who can trash Seiko with a straight face.
Hey Nutn, have you checked out the Russian Vostok Amphibia watches?
Pretty sure we've got a couple floating around the pool. I had a couple but haven't seen them in a while, I remember giving one away. They're cool, I just seem to have bad luck with them, had to return my last one because the winding was very janky, like it was on it's last legs somehow.
NF got a pretty cool one though, their higher end stuff is pretty rad. Stay tuned!

Seiko was nice 2 years ago before the price hike up and no longer skx007
You should check out island watch. They make nice watch’s
On going to get a 007 just to completely change it entirely. Hacking movement, doable d crystal, dial, and hands.
If you like lume, check out Lum Tec.
The Alpha Marine 500 is not new. I have one I purchased some years ago. It’s on a bracelet, full lume white dial, 9015 mvmt., orange hands and markers.
Hey Nutn..... Nice work on the review of the DB but this is not the 1st gen. There were 2 before this one you have.... or is should say 2 types of the 1st gen. One Swiss made with a ETA 2824 and one with a Miota 9015. Both of these are close to the on you have in this review but the one difference is the rehaut. the 1st gen the dial face is flat not angled where yours has an angled chapter ring. Also the ones with an ETA movement have a skeleton case back. Keep up the good work but just wanted to let you know that they have been around for a while and yours isn't a 1st gen. Take care!
Also there is no escapement valve on gen 1 and it has an aluminum bezel.
I just need a good durable watch, press a button and it lights up, or flick my wrist and it shows time.
I can’t have it glowing in the dark
I hava a seiko samurai that freaking leaked the very first time it saw water, a pool. They aren't the greatest ever
Citizen has full lume watches
Pepsi seikos are pretty good
Is ur name joe
You owe it to yourself to look at Long Island Watch. Product improved Seikos basically.
Ok so I'm pretty sure you won't ever see this... A while back I made a comment defending my Seiko 007. How do I say this, yep you were right deep blue is better! For the money. I went out on a limb and bought one. Now I have five Deep Blue watches. Please don't tell my wife. She hears your voice on the TV and knows that I'm going to spend money.
Posted 40 seconds ago. First response. You said something about first person gets this watch free right? :-0
Their designs are dope but they look too thick to be comfortable being worn all day. Could be wrong idk.
Whataburger watch 18mins in
Eh, for that price there are much better options
Also you're looking at the MSRP. nobody pays that. I bought a seiko for roughly 300$
God damned expensive
I just came across this video. 2 years later and Seiko is worse than ever. Seiko is super expensive and quality control is pretty low and the components in a $500+ watch are what you find in a sub $100 watch.
These watches and seikos are roughly thr same retail price. Lol I'd rather get a name than "deep blue" IMO. I currently have a Samurai and a cheapo bottle cap
A better watch is an OCEAN CRAWLER CORE DIVER. made in USA
Or you can buy an automatic Vostok Amphibian for less than $100, mod it with the thousands of online options, and end up with a dive watch that embarasses Deep Blue. The movement is Vostok's own design, not a 2nd party Japanese movement. The First Moscow Watch Company (Vostok parent) was founded in 1942 and only made equipment for the demanding Russian military. The Sturmanskie was worn by Yuri Gagarin when he made the first manned space flight. They began to produce watches for the public in the 1960's. Deep Blue was founded in 2007 and stole its name from IBM's Super Computer, not much heritage or originality there. A watch enthusiast will ask you about your Vostok. Nobody is going to ask you about your Deep Blue unless it's, "Why are you wearing that?"
Man... please stay away from watch reviews... “I’m a programmer haha”
Haha $416.00 watch by a company called “Deep Blue” with an ETA movement, is this guy actually serious. I mean, come on I can put up with a lot but this absolutely takes the cake!
O great another $5 watch review
If you consider $160 and $250 watches a "$5 watch", you don't work hard for a living and you didn't build that business you inherited from your grandad.
