I bought my 1970 for $51! Frankly, I didn't believe I would like it much. I immediately changed the bracelet to a tropic and it transformed it into a very comfortable feeling watch. Also, the look with this strap is awesome. I was planning to change to dial out but the more I wear it, the more this dial is growing on me. All-in-all, this is an unbelievable value and well made watch. It's a no-branier.
It's great value.. I have the real Seiko Tuna and I got a yellow dial Steeldive Tuna and though I'm a Seiko fanboy, I admit that the Steeldive is better, same NH35, and sapphire crystal, lume that matches Seiko and a nice lumed ceramic bezel, same one as on this I would say. And I've dived with it. I am very impressed by this one too. For the price, it's amazingly good value. Excellent review.
It's Martin Sheen. Well done Steeldive but I prefer my Heimdalr Captain Willard (same movement) as you when you compared these 2 seiko homages 2 or 3 years ago ! This Steeldive is exceptional value for money.
Hey man. I just looked it up. It's Charlie Sheen😅. Glad that you have the Heimdallr. I gave away that watch in a 5000 subscriber give away last year, so I'm kind of missing a Captain Willard in my collection, so that's one of the reasons I've got the SD1970. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎
It was less than half that price last month in the sale, i spent £146 on this, the addiesdive tuna and the addiesdive desert watch. Think my watch itch has been scratched at least until the 11-11 sale starts!
I have the addiesdive Willard and the bracelet sucks.. I ended up putting mine on a Barton tropical strap which in my opinion is a excellent choice, and it was only 13 dollars on Amazon. I really enjoy mine and have had 0 problems with it, you should change the seals and make sure the back is correctly tightened also make sure you use the correct type of grease on the rubber on the case back and you don't need to crank down on it just make sure it's tight...
I just ordered the SD1970 from AE during the 11-11 sale. The watch was $63 USD, but with the sale and discounts I paid just over $47 USD. It has not arrived yet. I hope I didn't get a lemon. We will see. Great review. Thanks.
Bought one some month ago but run a average of 12 days in total (very nice running at + 1sec/day ) and after that the movement failed !! So ... a bargain ? not sure at all 😀
Hi buddy - Nice review…I have a Pagani Design Speedmaster which I can wear comfortably…would this suit me or the 1977? I am confused between 1970 & 1977?
Hey man. If you can wear the PD Speedmaster, then you'll definitely can wear both the Steeldive SD1970 or SD1977. My personal favourite would be the SD1977 but either will be great. Thanks for watching 😎
Well yeah. I agree with you on that. But to be fair, Artem sent me 2 pairs of the straps, and the crack only happened on this one. Which is a shame, because it cost a lot to buy. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎
The Frozen Willard is a fabulous watch. But it’s not a real Willard with the flashy dial/bezel. I have it and I love it … but when I want a „real“ Willard look, the SD1970 is the one to go for. Well, the one thing that they both have in common is the absolutely horrible pressed clasp. Get yourself a $10 machined clasp from Ali and Bob‘s your uncle!
Is the Steeldive watch still working after 6 months? No issues? It was "Martin Sheen" that was "Captain Willard" in the movie APOCALYPSE (1979). Charlie Sheen is his son , also an actor. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_Now
martin sheen was wearing the seiko in the movie . charlie is his son . now , everything regarding this so called, watch, is ''stolen''. it's not steeldive, but stealdive ...

Yup. It's amazing how they managed to sell these at the price point. Can't wait to see what they will produce in 2023. Thanks for watching 😎

@@NMwatch It was MARTIN SHEEN that was "CAPTAIN WILLARD" in the movie APOCALYPSE (1979).

@@NMwatchWhat did you look up? The two and a half men cast? Martin Sheen is Captain Willard.
Hi.
I bought mine last January for £106.00.
It’s great and quite accurate. I think it gains around 9 seconds a week.
All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
Enjoy your watch in great health bro. Thanks for watching 😎

I bought this watch in blue last year. It's awesome! I got both bracelet and a blue rubber strap. Eventually, I'll get the tuna in Yellow.
They have upgraded the clasp on the bracelet from stamped to milled, and they've upgraded the hands from flat to beveled edge matching the real Seiko.
Oh yeah. Totally worth the money now. Thanks for watching 😎

Well, it's a hit or miss with Steeldive. Hopefully you get a good one. Thanks for watching 😎
I have the blue one… beautiful!!!
Well, I'm not really sure about the blue dial. Mainly due to the plastic chapter ring. Well, each to his own though. Thanks for watching 😎
I think you can mentally and physically crush a Toy Swatch/ Blancpain to bits with this watch!
Ha ha ha! Totally bro! Thanks for watching 😎
I bought mine for $100 and I thought it was a steel but $60 is a crazy deal - such a great watch
Yup. I think that's the cheapest I've seen these on sale. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎
"..thought it was a steal.." or, maybe "..thought it was a steel(dive)..." 😜
Great watch, I'm so pleased for your review
Good to hear that bro. Thanks for the support and thanks for watching 😎
I bought one recently…. It’s a no brainer😂👍
Yup. Totally worth the money. Thanks for watching 😎
Martin......Martin Sheen !
Sorry about that mate. I've never watched that movie. Thanks for watching 😎
How good does it wear compared to sd1953? My wrist flat width is around 51/52mm. Wrist diameter around 6 1/4 or 6 1/2 inches
I think the SD1970 will fit you better. The SD1953 is using a typical sub case design. So it does wear bigger. Thanks for watching 😎
@@NMwatch thank you!
Bought one some month ago but run a average of 12 days in total (very nice running at + 1sec/day ) and after that the movement failed !! So ... a bargain ? not sure at all 😀
Well, it's kind of hit and miss these SteelDive are. Can't you get a refund or something? Good luck and thanks for watching 😎
failed after 12 days? that's what the warranty is for.... otherwise you can pick up the movement off the internet for around 40 dollars US..
W. Salaam bro I really want to buy this watch too but the inner snob in me is not letting me make the purchase😂😭
Well, just think of how much you get for the money. Happy shopping and thanks for watching 😎
Martin Sheen LOL 😂
Oh well, at least I've got it right in the end😅. Thanks for watching 😎
@@NMwatch LOL 😂 you’re welcome 😇

Where did you pick up this steel dive? Can you send me some information? Thank you, Matt 😃👍
Hey man. There's a purchase link in the video description. Thanks for watching 😎
Trevlig video men vad har hänt med 100 dollar armbandet? Får inte hända på ett så dyrt armband. Mvh Lasse ❤️
Well yeah. I agree with you on that. But to be fair, Artem sent me 2 pairs of the straps, and the crack only happened on this one. Which is a shame, because it cost a lot to buy. Anyways, thanks for watching 😎
untuk pemula,sebaiknya ambil yang mana tuan? snk381 atau steeldive?
Sudah tentu Seiko SNK381. Sebab model ini sudah discontinued. Steeldive SD1970 boleh beli bila2. Thanks for watching bro 😎
@@NMwatch oke, siap bro
Where do you get them for 59 USD
Hey man. I've got this during last year's Black Friday sales on AliExpress after adding a few discount coupons of course. Thanks for watching 😎
Thanks!
Just got mine during season sale month ago. Bought 1953 and 1970 for 100usd. A bit disappointed for not buying more. LOL.
I just picked up the White sands looking Addiesdive “Chilly Willard” for $50 last week. Steal of a deal.
Oh yeah, I wanted to get that one too. But we'll see. Thanks for watching 😎

😅did he say 20m ??
Yup. I might have slipped there. Thanks for watching 😎
Due to naming the actor as Charlie Sheen, you do not deserve to own a Captain Willard.
Well, still keeping it despite the blunder. Thanks for watching 😎
@@NMwatch Just watch the film and all is forgiven. You won't regret it.
Like
Thanks for the support 😎
dude, am sorry but can’t help notice how often you’re not sure of something on almost all your reviews, maybe all? “am not sure” myself 😅
Well, thanks for pointing out. And thanks for watching 😎
Is the Steeldive watch still working after 6 months? No issues?
It was "Martin Sheen" that was "Captain Willard" in the movie APOCALYPSE (1979). Charlie Sheen is his son , also an actor.

Thanks for the information bro. And thanks for watching 😎

Well, for the money, it ain't that bad though. Thanks for watching 😎
martin sheen was wearing the seiko in the movie . charlie is his son . now , everything regarding this so called, watch, is ''stolen''. it's not steeldive, but stealdive ...
