Pesman 9,461 Posted December 5, 2023 Another one from the 11.11 sale...no wonder I'm broke... A stunning PD PO America's Cup Homage. Build quality and finish amazing. Sapphire and Seiko NH35 for £40 delivered! Knocks the pants off the rep, and date move to 6 is great...just a shame its not a solid back...

Pesman 9,461 Posted December 6, 2023 Is there a link for this?https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzsBumz Be aware prices go up and down like yo yo's best wIting for the sales...or following sellers to get vouchers...my try one of the other colours then If its OK, I'll drop links in as I show them, it can get confusing picking suppliers etc Sent from my SM-G977B using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redfire1066 10,949 Posted December 11, 2023 I have had few of the legandery Seiko SBDX MM300's including the SBDX001, SBSX012 and they where commented on regularly.... I no longer own the Gen's but earlier this year I was feeling the need to find a value replacement. Now, I don't know if it is just because I have casually worn this Addiesdive Homage more often than I wore the Gen's . . .. .. . but it also receives many compliments. I purchased this watch from @AndyBlue here on RWG back in March . . . .. . Over the years I read a few articles and the concensus is that the Merkur SBDX MM300 Homage was outstanding (if you can find one, no longer made I think) and Proxima also up there (now offereing movement choices, removable caseback and many dial options too). .. the Addiesdive for sure is a value proposition . .. . Shown below on a Strapecode Super Angus Jubilee Bracelet . . which changes the balance, comfort and look of the watch for the better.. . .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan32 835 Posted December 12, 2023 Bought this of Ali in the sale thinking it was a Breitling homage (Duh!) When it arrived I realised it was Pagani photocopy....sorry design version of the Speedmaster 57 The finish is great and the crystal is astonishing and I have saved £8,500 too boot! The bracelet was pretty poor so it's now on a Geckota "Jubilee". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
