Stunning watch! As advertised! Carefully packaged in detail, the watch is protected by protective films. In the package, there is also the mechanism to remove the links from the strap. I am very satisfied.
Delivery was very quick and it arrived really well packed . As for the watch absolutely beautiful
The steeldive sd1953 offers exceptional value for its price. Solid stainless steel construction, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, and a reliable seiko nh35 automatic movement make it a very capable diver. The lume is excellent, and the watch feels robust and well-balanced on the wrist. A clean, classic design that works perfectly as a daily tool watch.
Great watch for the price, dial is beautiful, good
Fast shipping, package arrived, as described. Perfect.

Excellent watch. This is my second one and i am very pleased with it. Very sturdy and comfortable. The lume is excellent and it keeps great time.
My 2nd sd1953. The brushed and polished stainless steel is perfect. The green "sun burst" dial, ceramic dial,and sapphire glass make this watch shine. The best features are the amazing lume and 300m water resistance. A great deal for such a solid diver's watch.
