Case reminds me of the Doxa 300 - beautiful watch though! Pricey for a watch with bad bracelet!
Yeah definitely has that cushion case. Price is good through jomashop. Seems the bracelet is were so many watch brands skimp on the build.
Gorgeous watch. Love it. Great review.
Thank you.
It’s a very cool looking watch, and I owned an orange dial DD for a while. But the non-hacking movement just triggered my OCD. The struggle is real!
LOL, yeah it has that skx feel as far as the movement. I had to over look that part lol. It’s a gorgeous watch otherwise. 😂
Own the watch with an orange dial. Love the retro 70s feel.
Orange is very cool. Love this watch. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I like the watch allot the cool factor is high I don't like the nickname though I'm picky about things
Well it does say 666ft on the dial lol. Great watch.
I love my Bulova green 'Devil Diver', I just love the case shape, dial and that late '60's/early 70's' vibe, that just sits so nicely on the wrist, like a lot of 'dive' watches from that era. Also the use of a Miyota movement is fine/great with me, love the internal date 'cyclopse/magnifier' is a great application for that function? Please keep up the good work, following!
Totally agree with everything you said. Thanks for the kind worlds. ❤
Thank you for the review. I like everything about it... except the plain lollipop-like hands. It's a small thing, and I would still consider buying one.
I think you will not be disappointed. Hope you pick one up.
I just came over from your Jet Star review because I wanted to see what else you reviewed and like and indeed, here is another of my favourite watches! Mine is black with red accents and I love the looks. I have never seen indices of that intersting style, that is one of the highlights for me. I paid a bit too much for it in a shop considering I got it on a rubber strap, but now that I see the clasp I think I maybe got the better option. My only slight disappointment was that the movement is a non-hacking Miyota 8215, I just don't like how that movement feels when setting date or time.
Yeah it’s a great watch. I will probably be moving it over to a tropics FKM strap. Thanks for watching. Hope you subscribe.
Love the color. Classic watch.
Yeah it’s classic.
I really like the Bulova Jet Star with red dial even though that watch only has 50 meters water resistance. This Devil Diver is really nice as well but that bracelet looks really cheap. I have Seiko Alpinist and the watch has a real nice milled clasp that doesn't feel so cheap. Of course with many mid priced Seiko Divers they use the 6R35 movement which performs about the same as this Citizen Miyota 8 series movement. They can run a bit slow.
Yeah the jet star is a great watch. 50 m is still 150 feet in the water, but with the leather strap I wouldn’t take it in the water. The bracelet on the devil diver is not great. Not bad, but not great. The band seems to always be the area they cut cost on.
Good review. Nice watch love the look of the dial case colour. Movement disappointing and bracelet bad. Would have been great if you could have shown it on some different straps as I suspect most of us would ditch the one it comes with. 🙏
I thought about putting it on s FKM rubber strap. Maybe I will and do a TH-cam short of it. Thanks for the comment.
Hey Thanks for sharing you're correct haven't seen very many reviews either appreciate you covering this one Have you seen the latest models a bit smaller and the high beat movement as well way more money I think this one is more up my alley Thanks again my friend
I have not seen the high bear variant of the devil Diver. I think the movement for the price on this one is right on. I do have the jet pilot for a quartz has crazy beat per second, 16 beats. So smooth it’s hypnotic 😂.
Just a thought... best put this on a nice sailcloth/rubber strap; that is what I do with all my real Divers. Desk Divers can go on a decent leather strap or a quality stainless steel bracelet for going out to restaurants etc. First time viewer now subscriber, great review.
Thanks for subscribing. I like FKM rubber straps for sure. Have not checked out Saul cloth. I will have to check them out. Thanks
Looks at home on isofrane also.❤
Like me U Took the Pencil Eraser too remove outer TXT..!😎🙏❣
I used rubbing alcohol lol. Good spotting it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Im sorry, but the bracelet isn't as bad as you make it out to be. I find it to be pretty nice. But then again, im used to vintage watches.
For the quality of the watch and price it should not have a pressed clasp. It should have been milled. Less expensive micro brands are doing milled clasps. Since this is a modern recreation milled would have been better. To each his own. And like most watch’s they seem to always scrimp on the bracelet. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Is the case actually made of stainless steel? Or is it nickel plated brass like most of their new watches?
It’s stainless steel with a gold color plating on it.
@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri gold color plating? Mine is stainless steel, no gold colour at all on the green model.
@@a0r0a7 Its advertised as stainless steel, but its just nickel plated brass garbage.
@@chuckfarley4130It's stainless steel. Do you own one? because I do. Bulova specs show SS.
@@a0r0a7 The last Bulova Marinestar was advertised as SS. it was nickle plated brass.
These watches look amazing and I know it’s a great diver watch but honestly I could never buy a watch with the mark of the beast stamped on the dial.
Ahhh I would worry about the. 300m stamped on a watch is 666ft it’s just on imperial vs metric lol
@@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri can’t wait to see your Proxima watch review. I own the PX1683 black bezel green dial and love that watch
you're diving with this watch in chlorine! Unbelievable!
Yeah I dive into my pool from the diving board.my pool is salt water pool. Believe it lol. Chlorine pools won’t hurt a watch lol.
I am glad it's a saltwater pool even though I am not familiar with them! However,chlorine definitely harms a watch!
I'm thinking this watch would look nice on a mesh bracelet 🤔
It probably would. I have one diver in a mesh bracelet.
Terrible dude
Thanks appreciate it. Was checking out your reviews. Oh wait there isn’t any. Thanks for helping the algorithm.
