I've purchased several watches and assorted items from alie-express without any issues at all! 👍

These are quite a popular "homage" to Seiko's Captain Willard and a very good value. However there are several different brands that make this homage, Addies, SteelDive, San Martin.. Etc..Etc.. and why some think one is better than the other I tend to disagree, I believe it's just a different logo on the dial and wouldn't be surprised if they were made in the same building as each other. 🤷‍♂️

long story short you cant go wrong with any of them, they are really good time pieces for the amount of money you dish out.

Thanks, yes after watching the comparison vids and such, Just one more watch and a few others, I agree, likely same factory.
I kind of like the addiesdive name and logo just for being a bit different than all the steeldive logos. Just hit me better, not sure why. Ha!
going to nab a nato for it I think as the summer 'hot' watch. Everything else i own has bracelets (I ordered this one with a bracelet just becaus...same price, might as well). Be fun to change around with this one. My 2 orient divers are still stock bracelets and I like them, so haven't tried anything different yet.

This strap is a must for a Willard homage! 👍😁

My only problem now..
I'm so impressed i want to try some other ones. LOL

I recently purchased the ploprof homage and I was not disappointed! [emoji106] very well made the only complaint is they used NH35A Seiko movement in it, its an awesome movement but for over $300 it was my only issue...

Tom you are the most up beat, positive and chipper person I’ve ever encountered on a forum. Thank you for being you sir!

Tom could find something positive in a train wreck, He's a pleasure to have around! [emoji106]
