Homage Forum

Firstly morning/afternoon to you all.This'll be my 1st post so please go easy on a newbie.The names Danny & just like you lot I really like watches,generally dive style watches.Now unlike a lot of watch enthusiast's I'm not overly anal about em.About 3 years ago I bought my
1st "dive watch".....the gigandet sea ground rolex sub homages.At the time I thought they were great watches...well built,SS & apparently
300m of water resistance.Now as I had purchased them from amazon I had no idea how they were gonna look on wrist.They ened up looking
a bit to large...43mm & protruding solid end links .Fast forward a couple of years & gaining a little more knowledge I started to look at getting
something that would sit better on wrist(short lug - lug)Seiko was the first brand I looked at,great history & they make outstanding dive watches
Then a friend showed me his watch,it was steeldive replica of the 6105 & it looked & felt very nice.When he told me the price,my jaw kinda hit the flaw.So back home & order placed for they skx & 6105 replica's.They arrived last week & after alternating between the 2 I can say im delighted with em.They dont have the greatest bracelets but then gain neither does the skx.So far they have kept excellent time...the 6105 has gained 3-4 sec's & the skx has lost 2-3 over the week.Both have ceramic bezels inserts with the 6105 being lumed,Sapphire glass,NH35 & flipping fantastic lume.They were
both in the region of £115 delivered including vat & po handling charge

Pity about ceramic bezel. I'd want to bleach the insert and age the indices and hands

Dont blame ya .....I think I may have fallen down the steeldive rabbit hole .Considering
how impressive I found these 2 I've only gone & ordered the Tuna & the MM300 versions as well
Just to add that on the pic's of the 6105 there seems to have been a couple of changes.
1.Signed crown
2.sapphire crystal is not flush ....it sits approx. 1mm above the bezel

Welcome.
I guess those Steeldive Watches share the same origin as the San Martin, Heimdallr Watches, Proxima, Merkur, LTE, a.s.o.
There many positive comments on them, also at other fora.

Look good-enjoy!

Just to add that although the clasp is a bit chinzy,the bracelet has solid end links

Do oem parts fit the skx
