This has actually reached a level where it's much better than the original SKX, better movement (I like that they went with the NH36), solid end links, solid bracelet, sapphire, decent milled clasp, ceramic bezel insert. And the fact that it's orange is also very suitable as there actually was an orange SKX, the SKX007. Even the indeces line up! 😆 Nice review, I enjoyed it👍 EDIT: of course the orange SKX is the SKX011 🍊🤦🏻‍♂️

Like the orange, it is a color I like in general. While I like the bracelets look, not sure I like the brushing difference between it and the case. It certainly is noticeable, just not sure if it is really an issue. But that is getting picky, overall a nice watch. I notice on the last Ali sale that just ended the Heimallr kept coming up, had not noticed that before. Good review!

Nice review. double thumbs up for selecting the orange. I think if i would mod my skx to have a thicker ceramic insert it would look exactly like this, as with its aluminium insert there is already some visible gap. something my non seiko divers don't have. So i think order to be compatible with all the aftermarket skx parts of the modding scene it ended up with that look. No problems with the crown this time? Looks a bit like you couldn't screw it fully down so that the button doesn't sit on the case and there is still a visible gap. i have that issue with my sd1970. For the comparison, would you be willing to pop off the bezel ring and check out how the bezel spring mechanism is constructed? there could be some answers how well this will run in the long term use. With all the different colour option and the day/date nh36 the heimdallr has some plus points even if its more expensive.

Great review as always. I've never been into these bright colourful dials before, but this looks really nice. Haven't noticed that orange dials actually could have sunburst as well, that was a cool feature. That short out door clip (would have loved to see a few seconds more tbh) really made the dial pop. Hm, I have an original SKX007 and a modded one (which I plan to further mod). Maybe something like this could be a nice addition.. Btw, I read somewhere that the newer Heimdallrs aren't compatible with SKX modding parts anymore due to slightly different measurements. Do anyone know if that's correct? Or have I mixed it up with another brand? Anyway, I'd love to see a comparison video vs the Steeldive SKX homage.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR No. When I noticed it wasn't there, I realised it must have fallen off somewhere. You can buy very affordable replacement bezels with the lume pip from Heimdallr, but that's not the point. I think Saint Martin make better quality watches, but they don't do an orange-faced watch at this size, and that's what I'm after. Ho hum . . .

It's really heavy which I don't like, and the bracelet a consistent 22mm is ugly. I got a monster and that has a QC fault too. I'm just unlucky with Heimdallrs. Customer service has been very good so can't complain.
