    It would appear that I got my wires a little crossed in relation to the watch this watch is homaging. I’m only human and appreciate all your comments | information. Have a great week 👍👍

      Simon the back-catalogue of omega’s from the late 60’s & 70’s is vast and arguably the greatest period of watchmaking (design-wise) for many, me included. Both Steeldive and Addisdive recognise this so many of their homage pieces where dates are used instead of random numbers are all copies.

    The case shape on these is amazing. For that alone it has become one of my favourites.

      It is a stunning shape case, so I can completely understand where you are coming from mate 👍👍

    "The eyes see what the mind knows." I am sure that is why so many folks are commenting about
    what this is an homage of. Part of the fun of this hobby. For me, the first time I saw this design
    was from a microbrand called Octon. Thanks for the review.

    The only homage that's been done to death is the subby clone. This is another story and like it.

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I agree. I don’t think there is a more homaged watch than the Subby… 👍👍

    The crystal distortion is nice on this one. Gives it a cool vintage vibe. I paid $73US outside of a regular sale.

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It sure does mate and $73 is a crazy good score for this watch - fair play 👍👍

    Its a vintage Omega Seamaster 300m reference is probably 165.024 or similiar

      U r spot on with that ref number . I’m not sure if there was a 1960’s model made without the full length crown guards but the dial is a dead ringer down to the seconds hand.

    This watch is brilliant and possibly the best bang for buck AliExpress Watch out there. It’s vintage design from the 60’s so I think even the most ardent haters of Homages aren’t probably too fussed. Thanks for the great review!

    • @WatchtheTime
      @WatchtheTime  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@WatchtheTime Whoa whoa now. I’m not that old. I believe this came out in 1967. I won’t be born for another 10 years! 😅. The only reason I know is another reviewer of the Watchdives version mentioned the watch it is homaging. Both are absolute bangers.

    ...... very glad I pre-ordered the new Helson Sharkmaster 300 ( now with Miyota 9039 movement ) , should be delivered in November ....... yes it is more expensive than an Addiesdive but if you are gonna get a homage to the Seamaster 300 the Helson is the bees knees ..........

    • @WatchtheTime

    I think it’s a homage of a discontinued Omega , which was homaged by another brand which is discontinued , I believe , so it’s ok . I’ve ordered one so let’s hope it’s a good homage 😁 . Helson is the other one that a viewer has referenced below , so that’s a homage so it’s ok .
    I think the case has been repurposed from the AD2101 which I have so will confirm that when it arrives . Thanks for the review.

      Excellence classification and qualifications can only be observed in the remarkable minds that are aligned with the right frame of how a man thinks and the way a man proceeds. An active mind is that produces and bares fruit for others to learn and apply that of value. In my opinion the mind of Christ that is activated is the perfect mindset but only very few people have it through growth and maturity. I see such rare quality in you my friend, you are moving forward and reaching new heights to a degree, level in which hopefully many can look up to and apply for themselves.. proud of the way your channel and presentations with your humble spirit that is your compass to maintaining the priority which is from a baseline of not style but indeed of a noble approach. . .

    Another nice piece marred by the awful branding and logo. WatchDives recently updated to a much simpler and nicer logo and they've dropped the "word" branding altogether. Lets hope the other Chinese makers follow this example. (I'm also looking at you Tactical Frog.... and others.) Nice review. Thanks !

    • @WatchtheTime

    Bro this isn’t an homage to a micro brand. It is an homage to an Omega Seamaster 300 from the late 60s. I understand you are young and are just getting into watches. Just saying do a small bit of research before posting a review.

    The logo is horrible but the name is enough to be a dealbreaker. No way I’ll wear a watch with that grotesque name. Changing their name to “AD” or the like would be a massive improvement. As for your question: what does it even meant to say that a watch is an homage of an homage? Don’t we rather have TWO homages to the original?
