Steeldive 6105 & skx homage/replica

[Danny2019]

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.

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