I had the Paganini then the heimdallr before I got in the position of getting the actual omega no time to die,the heimdallr is apart from the colour of the indices is a perfect replica there's no other watch comes close to the omega, anyone who wants to know what it's like to wear the actual no time to die watch get the heimdallr it's an amazing watch.

i do prefer the phylida over pagani and heimdahllr. it looks more to the original seamaster.

You are smashing it at the minute mate...your content is coming thick and fast! Some of the other Brit watch channels have been fairly quiet. Keep it up..loving the videos.

Gonna have to go with the Heim. It’s steeper but the shark logo and the Ti and other differences are like “Yeah i’m an homage watch but also totally my own” and I love that.

Excellent comparison review bud. Looking forward to my Phylida arriving even more. Cheers!

I really appreciate you doing this comparison, I was curious to see the phylida next to the Heimdallr.

Another brill comparison my man, great work. I think the outcome is about right tbf

Just the video I was looking for. Thanks so much for sharing.

Great comparison, very interesting to see that these three actually looks more different than expected. The Phylida wins for me firstly because of a wearable size/L2L size, but also over all I think. I did like the Bezel insert and date placement better on the Heimdallr though.

For over three months I have had a Phylida with a rose-gold bezel and a nato strap. In my opinion, the combination of two colors rose-gold and silver is the best.

I think i would put the Heimdallr as number 1 .I agree the Pagani should be in third. However, i bought the Pagani in December and it doesn't have any back play in the bezel. I think the NH35A is a superior movement to the older Miyota 8215 . My Pagani NH35A is running at +/- 0 seconds a day ! I only paid £74 off Ali express so it's considerably cheaper than the other two.

Been waiting for this

Yep 👍 would have to agree with your review Phylida in front ,thanks for your review it will help into making up your mind if you’re interested in any of the three watches.

Impressed that you got this out so quickly. A lot of work to get these videos done, so kudos my dude! Great comparison as well, loved that you had the three in the same colour scheme to compare, and a very detailed comparison it was. I totally agree that the Phylida with the Heimdallr bezel insert would be the undisputed winner. I have the Phylida on the way from the sale, so am even more excited to get it after seeing your comparison. Could be my best unplanned purchase of the Covid era...😂

I have the Phylida in all available colors and love them. The 200m water resist is great. Hoping they do a grey dial blue bezel soon.

Really enjoying your videos !

Excellent comparison video, well done! Subscribed! I would love to wear the NTTD Omega to the new James Bond movie but I don't have a spare $9200. So I am going to buy the Phylida. It is the closest and most accurate homage to the 007 Seamaster.

I've had the Pagani with mesh and black silicon bracelets. I'm very pleased with it, especially for $62, lol. Heimdallr ($145, today on Ali. ) with mesh (its bracelet looks like much higher quality than the Pagani mesh) is on the way for a comparison of Titanium vs. the 316L. One will go back to Ali. I'm not crazy, from the pics, about the blue tinted AR coating on the Heim.,its indices design and the entire appearance of the dial compared to the Pagain. We'll see how the Heim. wears in person.

Interesting that the mesh strap on the pagani is "upside down" installed incorrectly....who did that? The release pins should not be face up, but down. I a Pagani and like the lack of a "fake" relief valve! and I don't like the flat finish on the Phylida bezel. To my eye the Pagani looks the best with SS case and ceramic shiny bezel. Personal preference.

Looking forward to this Heimdallr tomorrow 😀

I own two Seamaster Pro 300’s and the Heimdallr is actually closer in appearance when you put them next to each other. Otherwise, very nice video.

Spot on review once again!

Hey good on you for doing a three way comparison. I pretty much agree with you on most of it. I have the Gen 1 Phylida NTTD. This has a white date dial unfortunately and a satin black dial and only 100M water resistance The indexes are a decent colour an funnily enough the lume is quite decent. But the new version that you have is much better, the bezel is nicer (not shiny like mine) and black date wheel. It would be perfect if the date was at 6, like the Heimdallr. I really do like the Broad Arrow insignia on the Phylida. Now have you seen the Octopus Vintage Black NTTD homage? This looks really nice and has a fully lumed bezel (as per the real thing) and I'd love to see a review of that! Thanks for this excellent review.

love the Phylida look

Nice review! I don't pay any attention to the bracelet on a watch, as I always change them. Definitely agree on those milanese straps, can't stand them either. I would definitely put Pagani at No.3, but No.1 for me is definitely the Heimdallr. The material and crystal is better for me and worth the extra money. Phylida is definitely close .

This is a great review. I think for me the Phylidia gets No1. If it had the date at six and the Heimdallr bezel shade it would be near perfect. I also like that its got the British military issue arrow on the dial.

I've had both, and I actually prefer the Heimdallr. The deciding factor was really the case material being Ti. It just got so much more wrist time. Also, I prefer the mesh style better than Phylida's chunky monster of a bracelet made me not wear it as much. I think the other thing I did like better was the boxed sapphire on the Heimdallr, although no one can dispute the fact that the Phylida has a closer 'homage-ness' to the OG NTTD. Biggest downfall of the Heimdallr is it's bezel action, but, something that isn't visual so it doesn't bother me as much. The PD isn't even worth talking about IMO at that price comparatively.

Excellent and comprehensive review

I have the Pagani and Heimdallr. The sea ghost is my personal favorite of the homages. I've seen a seiko Skx modded to look like the NTTD Seamaster. Beautiful clone.

I ended up purchasing the Heimdallr and Phylida (Phylida's NTTD is updated with engraved specs on back, female end links, and an engraved He crown), and I tell you, they both have their pluses. I was considering keeping what I thought was the best of the two but I really like both. Both movements (NH35A and PT5000) are within 1 second out of the box -- phenomenal! Lume is poor on both, but my Heimdallr is better than the Phylida. The Phylida's dial is most true to the original, even in a nice gray-brown colour, but the case and crystal appear more refined and like the original on the Heimdallr. The blue cast from the AR everyone is mentioning on the Heimdallr is really a non-issue. I get more blue hue from my Breitling and the minor hue on the Heimdallr adds some interest. The AR coating the the Phylida is truly clear. Heimdallr's mesh bracelet is incredible quality, whereas while the Phylida is a solid and nicely done bracelet, the locking mechanism is not very solid. Overall, the Heimdallr wears a little more like a dressy diver and the Phylida a more rugged toolish diver -- both are keepers, IMHO, especially at these prices.

Great review, Thank you.

Hello. Great video, thanks. May I ask if you have tried to fit the Phylida bracelet n the Heimdallr watch?

Another great review\comparison video. I tend to agree on what I've seen in videos. That Phylida is awesome. I would still go for 2nd place. Titanium cool factor. Heimdallr name. Nh35. Thanks for all the work you do for us!!!!!

It is what it is as you normally say. Pity they did not put a ceramic bezel insert in the Heimdallr. You called it right in my opinion! Think they should up the lume in all as nothing wrong with that and it makes the dials stand out on a darkened Hotel lounge bar veranda to give the watch a wow factor!

Great, detailed review. Both the Phylida and the Pagani look great. I just wish AliExpress companies would dare to produce their homages in more sizes. They should already be saving a bunch by not doing any real design work, so, hey. All these watches look big for my tiny wrists.

I think you have the version 2 of the phylida, I bought one that was 100m water resistance and the bezel colouring was a good match to the Indices. I gave this watch away and ordered myself another one, when it arrived it was a 200m water resistance and the bezel colouring is more of a yellow than the previous one.

Glad you fessed up about the back to front strap , it was driving me mad !

Thnx for the reviews on these watches! How is the Phylida holding up?

For me, Phylida PT5000 sterile dial with a custom Milanese bracelet is the hands-down winner. I only wish it had a more matte / muted beige yellow colour on the bezel.

Great review, i would give the win to Phylida too. They could improve the thickness of the case and the transition from the top of the endlinks to the bracelet. But these are minor things and it really great value. Lets hope the PT5000 does well so we will see it in other models as well. Pagani was disappointing to say the least and the Blackbay shows they can do better. The Heimdallr is too expensive for my taste with that bracelet and NH35, they should have done the bracelet in Titanium as well.

Great comparison!! 22:20. To my eyes, the Heimdallr has the best looking case. The definition of lines looks superb. They are too soft on both the Pylida and the Pagani.

I want to swap out the dial with an "aftermarket" to make it complete. Any suggestions on where to buy? I've looked ali but no luck.

Thanks for the honest comparisons, I would rank them the same.

Yes. My suggestion would be to have the watch being homaged present or photographs for comparison. With each feature I thought, "what about the Seamaster?" Then again, it is the best of these three. Great review. 👍🏻

Heimdallr on paper is the best homage due to the grade 3 titanium and C3 Lume.. I am pretty proud of my Heimdallr because the lume is excellent on my Sea Ghost

Pagani any day of the week. Best thought out design.

The Phylida looks significantly better than the other 2.

You sure are cranking these videos your opinion Definitely matters it has saved me the regret of purchasing substandard watches if I do ever decide to pull the trigger it would most Definitely be the Phylida Thanks again don't see where you find the time to crank out these fantastic videos

Has anyone replaced the clasp(on Phylida)to the Omega style ones that have the micro adjustment push button?

I just ordered that Pagani, dif bracelet but it looks decent!

For me, the finish of the Heimdallr was the winner. Didn't want the polished/brushed effect of the Phylida/Pagani; wanted that darker grey feeling like the Omega. Just ordered it and can't wait until it's delivered!

200m WR its so nice...weight difference is just band choice. Its more interresting to scale weight witH same NATO ..or just scale bare watches

Great comparison Zee. Pleased with the result, albeit it is ‘subjective’, looking forward to mine landing in the next few days.

I preferably take the heimdallr for the day window on the 6 o'clock, I like the symmetry of the dial.

Great review, thanks for the input, I have a phylida on order so like the final result..LOL. Did I misee the bit whrre you mentioned the phylida has a ceramic bezel insert?

The Phylida is nice looking but the bezel insert needs to be a darker black.

The HRV should work. By unscrewing the crown you open up a hole in the case which allows the air (containing Helium in saturation diving- in a capsule) pressure to be equalised during de-compresson. Yes, you could have achieved the same by pulling the time adjustment crown. The same is true for Rolex. It is a great marketing gimmick though, some people may think such advanced technology is what makes the watch so expensive.😁

Heimdallr is my choice. Looks amazing

Well, I got Phylida on the NATO strap and that mesh strap from Heimdallr, win-win for me :)

I went with the heimdallr. Wouldve been perfect if it had smaller L2L like phylida. And thicker hands like phylida. Then again, heimdallr is being stingy, since i picked it up on the sale, their not including the watch roll or extra strap as from original price orders. Still cant wait to check it out.

Gosh. I love heimdallr. I love the ar coating. Titanium. Strap

Great comparison, thanks! My vote go for Heimdallr: premium materials over the two others and best looking homage (balanced with similar design from original but not copycat). Phylida has the best dimensions, but I feel it's just a clone design with a very bad name.. it could be better. I have the Pagani and I like it, fortunately bezel action in mine it's good, but the no color combo at the window date hurts.

Phylida...but i like my Pauleres. Lol. Ordered the Phylida. Cheers ,neat review.

Damn you beat me to it mate. I'm on nights at work at the moment, so not had a chance to do mine. Nice face reveal at 20:57 as well mate 😉

I think they all look nice. A quality purchase for the money. My choice is the Heimdallr. To me, it looks the best.

Often, WR is underated... but reading 200m on dial is better for stay quiet .....

Looking to buy the Phylida with the PT5000 movement. Any problem with the PT at all after a year?

The pagani and heimdallr are homages. They have unique design ques that are different from the seamster, but borrow enough to capture the feeling. The phylida feels closer to a replica than an homage.

I went with the Heimdallr for my choice, although I have enough NH35 movement watches and really would like to try others. My bezel is essentially unusable. I cannot turn it in anything like the way it was in the review. I would need to fashion some sort of plastic spanner/wrench tool on my keychain to turn it. But this doesn't bother me much. The watch looks great and it was the titanium case that won me over anyway. My only other complaint is that Heimdallr sent along a NATO strap, but it is blue and black, rather than the colors of the Omega strap that so well compliment the NTTD watch. But I like the mesh well enough that I will keep that on anyway.

not sure why Phylida don’t use the other lettering Ived seen on Aliexpress when you go to message seller. The Lettering is much cooler and also got a small Logo on top of the name like a crown.

Great job

The missing link in this video is the Bliger Model. Which is nh35 and comes in just under 100 dollars. I have owned all except the PHYLIDA model and can attest my favorite by far is Heimdallr coming in second Bliger which has smaller demensions as well and a lower price

Habe mir die Phylida NTTD vor ca. 1 1/2 Jahren gekauft. Nach ein paar Monaten ist die Krone heruntergegangen, seit ein paar Wochen funktioniert die Uhr gar nicht mehr. Auf Aliexpress kann man auch keine Bewertung mehr abgeben.😒

If only they made a quartz version of the Phylida...

I had a titanium Zelos. Decided titanium isn't for me

Love the phylida, but I hate the caseback

I will also throw another vote in for the Phylida. I just hope in the future they produce an improved model with the following improvements: No date window Same mesh strap as the Heimdallr Titanium construction Lumed bezel

I own the Heimdallr and the thread for the screw down crown has stripped out leaving the crown unable to be screwed down. To heimdallr’s credit, they offered to have me return the watch for repair (to china) or send me a new crown and the tube. Chose to have them send me the parts but they left it up to me to bear the cost to have it repaired locally. So the watch and replacement part is just sitting in its box. Someday I’ll get to taking it to a local watch maker for repair.

Very cool 😎

Thanks

Nice comparison but you are missing one which is the best NTTD homage though. Its the the Octopus Kraken CLASSICDIVEING 007 RETRO BLACK.

Interesting comparison video ... But almost 30 minutes?? 🤔😕

I have the Pagani Design. I like it as a watch--and that's why I kept it. However, as a homage, it FAILS. The colors do not match on hands, hour makers, and bezel. There is no red in the text or on the second hand. I would recommend the other two for the homage effect. The NH35 is nicer than I thought it would be. The crystal is good. The bracelet is fantastic. Wish I had gone with either of the other two. I don't have that much backplay on my bezel btw. Wonder if they fixed that.

The previous version of the Phylida was the best NTTD homage available. Then Phylida changed the coloring of the bezel and the markers (the one in this video.) It looks terrible and nothing like the Omega coloring. That lemon yellow coloring looks hideous. For that reason alone I would choose one of the other two. If Phylida brought the original coloring back, it would be a winner, but perhaps they changed it due to C&D issues.

Heimdallr should have made the case stainless steel imho . They’re to expensive compared to the others . Your observations are spot on .

HEIMDALLR beats them all! HEIMDALLR and SAN MARTIN make the best micro homage watches. the best micros that are all their own design are ZELOS and HELM check out the new HEIMDALLR SEA GHOST!!!!!!

Pagini Stated last year they would improve the bezel - this was way back on the first issue. It looks like they still can not get the bezel play corrected and that's a huge error in my eyes. Luminosity appears lower in the Phylida but the bezel and homage is way better. I have commented on other reviews and preferred them in the past the Pagini, however the fact that Pagini still has not sorted the bezel out in my eye I think the Phylida is just that bit in front!

Phylida for me

Just sent back the Phylida... PT5000 movemt absolutely screwed up... Hands not synced and rotor clunky in the case... And bezel not even close to being lined up... Never again Phylida!

The Phylida looks far better than the rest imo

Heimdallr

My friend this is not a fair comparison, the Heimdallr is Titanium and is much more expensive to produce.

adding a stoopid helium escape valve just for aesthetics is ridiculous, since it adds nothing and introduces a potential leakage point.

Thumbs up 😂

No time to design

If the Phylida didn't sound like an std i'd buy one

😢

Phylida>Heimdallr>PD

"These (milanese) straps make me feel stupid"? Come on buddy, you're better than this.

What boring watches . Talk about herd mentality. I am sure the increase numbers of new divers has shocked everyone. Especially The divers you dive from their office. How boring!
