Steeldive SD1967 - DOXA on a Budget, or budget Doxa? (Full review)
Has anyone also ordered a watch via this link and are still awaiting its arrival ? I have set them emails and messages via their website but have not received any reply. Not very good service given the high cost compared to the usual Aliexpress outlets...
@@ccooper8785 not that you should have to do this, but if you are on Reddit, message u/watchdivescom He's the guy I deal with and will escalate. Wonder if they are on holiday? I also heard some colors we're not ready, but I think all colors should be shipping now
Hi. To avoid any danger of over-winding, how many turns do you apply to rewind from standstill?
@@mindfulawareness1 on this one for me it was about 50 cranks (not revolutions) of the movement. This one got pretty firm and was fairly obvious when it was getting tight. Just don't force it and you'll be good
@@EscapeWheel thank you so much. It's a great watch.
Really late to this piece also REALLY warming to this piece as relatively cheap nowadays..Lume IS NEVER GOOD ON PATINA indicies and hands etc.Great review
Thanks for such a thorough review. Where the dial texture pattern is concerned, would have been nice of Cronos at least used a different repeating shape rather than the CW Swiss cross. The cross is a Swiss national symbol and part of CW's logo. Makes zero sense on this watch.
@@keving4408 but the cross is just a cross used in many parts of the world, CW didn't invent it. I get what you are saying though. It's something you don't think about though, it's so small, nobody would ever notice it unless you showed them macro footage.
@@EscapeWheel Fair enough. But the cross is associated with Switzerland and CW, neither of which has anything to do with Cronos. Also, a different repeating shape would have injected at least a modicum of originality.
Can I ask does the leather strap for the cronos fit the ixdao engineer watch? I'm after a strap for my engineer. Thanks in advance
@@bifflee3603 it would be very close, but I don't see a way to remove the first link of the bracelet like the Cronos has. My calipers measured a width of 13.4mm on the strap and 13.3mm on the first middle link width of the ixdao
Why go so far as to copy Christopher Ward's cross dial, they could have taken their logo and made a similar pattern on the dial. It would have been really original
Looks more Alpine Eagle than CW12 to me
@@moneymikz 🧐🤔🤣
Steve! Great review, just wondering if you happen to know which is the official website of Cronos?
@@lopperdawn10898 I don't. I typically buy from Ali Express
such a cool watch
Got this one and love it only the clasp is too long for my 6.25 wrist. Anyone have any suggestion how to change this for a smaller clasp?
I'm a big fan of Cronos - I have two in my box. However, I think I'll wait for v2 - better articulation and longer bracelet, no date window, and better finishing.
Aliexpress coupon has been restocking for me. No coupon available for me.
I love it. For the price, I have no complains. I wish I had this many options when I was in my 20’s.
No hald links kills it for me. Other than that the dial and hands look great
Thank you for your excellent review..... Ixdao still better, but admittedly more expensive. Spoiled for choice when it comes to integrated bracelet watches.....
@@originalboondi thank you for watching
not bad for $99
i got their baltic small seconds homage (quartz)
버니 시계 2개 산 1인 입니다. 근데 저 바가니 닮은 로고는 진짜 극혐이네요. 차라리 없던지,
it looks very well made, but I wish they hadn't directly copied the CW dial pattern. Makes it look a lot more like an outright ripoff.
They actually changed quite a lot when compared to CW. The dial is no doubt almost the same but the dial layout, hands, indicies, bezel shape, case shape, bracelet are quite different. Really nicely done. Great review as well.
That's cuz it's a zenith defy copy with the cw dial. So they didn't change the cw. It's a zenith copy
This is your brain on affordable watches
Copying Christopher Ward is a step beyond what’s acceptable for me.
Hey, Steve. I own this blue Skyline as well. Superb watch. I had planned to get the IXDAO Engineer in the last sale, but I was able to get the Skyline under $160 with coupons, so here we are. Also for reference, I have a 6.6-6.7in/17 cm wrist, and the bracelet fits perfectly with no gaps or overhang.
@@cecilyau4440 that's awesome...the price got me, too 🤣 Glad to hear the bracelet fits good for you 👍
@@EscapeWheel Yeah, I thought it would be helpful to confirm the bracelet vs wrist size. Like you, I’m not an integrated bracelet guy, so no plans to get another (and I’m very pleased with this Skyline anyway). And unrelated question: Have you had a chance to review a Direnzo? I haven’t seen it in your vid catalog. Just curious if you know about them and might bring one in. They’re typically a bit pricier around $800, but I think you’ve reviewed some Hamilton’s in the ball park, so . . .
I'm generally not into integrated bracelet watches but this one is tempting
If it's a blatant knockoff of both the Tissot PRX and the Christopher Ward Twelve, does that make it an original design?
@@johndesmond1987 more of a zenith defy skyline, CW12 dial, and some hands and indices off of.....something. probably the true definition of "homage"...being it's own thing but drawing inspiration (a lot) from various watches.
I myself, don’t care. Watch looks good and is cheap.
CW copied Czapek, one could argue.
Might have found my Mrs' birthday preset.
$165 is an insane price for such a good watch. I hope Cronos starts putting out more great watches. Thanks for the great review. The movement does make me a little nervous.
Love the hands of this watch, I also bought 1 recently partly because of the hands 😂. Hope they do more watches with these hands.
Looks awesome but I hate to be that guy....UUUGGGGHH that date window! Either do it right or make a dateless version. As beautiful as that dial is, to put an ugly afterthought cut out date window at the 3 is gross...shame
Ugly afterthought date window? 😮 IMO it looks fine.. the 3 marker is reduced in size to help with design balance and the cut out is chamfered. There are some issues with this watch but the date window is not one of them? Appears to be very good value for such a reasonable price. Appreciate it is subjective.. but I find your comment way too harsh. Its a lovely watch 👌👍🙏
@@RC60669 hahahaha wrong
@@musik4u343 Very good we agree! .. your Wrong 👍
This looks.real classy. Cheers!
Look at the cronos gmt gs homage, just amazingly good in black
Also like the Blue dial on the watch. Can you swim with the bracelet?
@@samnova450 I don't see why not...it's not something I would do, but it should be fine
@@EscapeWheel Yeah feel the same, prefer rubber straps for swimming.
The lack of articulation in many of these Aliexpress integrated bracelets is mind boggling. How come none of their "designers" can figure it out?? IXDAO and Bettimer did. My other issue with it, is the complete copy of the CW 12 dial pattern...its literally their logo, so it just looks heinous here. They took a CW 12, a AP RA, and a Zenith Defy and smashed them all together here. Not impressed.
Cronos have had their logo/symbol for some years. I own a couple. CW only went to their new so called official one/logo in recent times. I own 3 CW with just the name itself. One was bought earlier this year. But I completely agree with the dial design, which is ordinary to copy. Then again that’s Chinese watches, well the industry isn’t it?
0:46 IXDAO Engineer my beloved
cronos has excellent watches
My only wish is that we could spend $8 or so as an option for sapphire. I'd do that in a heartbeat.
They need to change company name and use of two indexes at 12 o'clock instead of a logo. Also removing the date display would make the dial very symmetrical
Homage to a Longines, yes? (nothing wrong with that)
Yup
Now I want to buy it just to change the date wheel to black.
Lol. Do it
nice looking watch, looks very similar to my Tissot PRX .
Great review! Just some random feedback that I think could help your views. The intro to the video was too long and I was tempted to find another review. If you make the intro shorter or just get rid of it completely I reckon you will get more views. Just an opinion and opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one.
I appreciate the feedback...I have since cut it about in half...typically around 33 seconds these days.
Is the "polar" still in the making, with this beautiful case? I'd try a mod myself, but not expert in where to find a dial, hands and bezel...so basically all the parts needed! :/
It's not, but it's something I'd like to revisit soon.
@@EscapeWheel Thank you for your answer, and please keep us updated, as it's too good an opportunity not to take :)
I have the 38mm diameter version, thinner too. Looks and bezel action similar to yours. Not confident of the 200m water resistance claim. The crown left about 1mm gap between the crown and the case after fully screw in. And feeling a bit of grinding when winding it manually. Ran a bit fast which is fine. One complaint is the red GMT hand is about 15m later than hour hand. Yeah, the lume on hands fade faster than the hour marker dots. Overall it’s like my Vostok watch lume. Can’t use at night. But still works as a GMT ina size I like.
Please tell Rmalti to make it availabla at LAZADa philippines❤ tnx
I've had this watch for 2, maybe 3 months now. I have 7 watches, don't need anymore, but this is my go-to for most occasions. I have two Timex's, an Addiesdive Coffee sand dial, a San Martin SN0129 automatic GMT marble dial, and a Daniel Stieger. The problem is, ever time I'm wearing any other watch, whenever I look down at my wrist, I wish I were wearing my Turbine Custom. I just love this watch so much! A stunning piece. However, I've been giving my San Martin more wrist time lately and it is making a big impression. But it's a DRESS watch 100% and i just don't have the occasion to wear it often.
a cuestion, the gold fall with use
Have one and my impression is that the bracelet is what is a bit of a let down- a better quality bracelet and maybe a bit of a price increase accordingly would.help this watch become.almost a clone of tje daytona
Me also
buy at your own risk. if you are like me, you gonna get a watch thats gonna stop working in about 2 months. ali express will not accept any responsibility, and Ixdao will say, they can fix it for you if you can ship the watch back at your own expense, which from united states is around 60 bucks. potentially more. this is me right now. they wont take care of you. I am cutting my losses and now I am stuck with a useless piece of steel that doesnt work.
I'd love these colour combo's on that Vintage Submariner 39m case they have, forgot the model number... that would be a total winner, especially if they went sword hands to make it more it's own thing.
