I always forget about that 🤦‍♂️ I'm glad you're enjoying the channel, and thanks for subscribing 👍

I really appreciate that. I wasn't sure how well that style (my style) would be received as, like you say it's not what's really popular at the moment.

I immediately look at the comments section when I saw this at 1:42

Yeah it is a good one.

Good choice!

What's the full lume version?

Thanks mate. I don't own any Seiko's, but I do have a few homages. I just think you get better specs for the price with homages. What do you think?

Thanks a lot mate. I'm trying to improve a little bit every video.

Thanks. No I haven't... Yet. I love it on the this bracelet at the moment.

Thanks. It's still going strong. No issues at all.

Thanks mate. I've not tried out the Heimdallr Tuna, so I couldn't say really.

Also having never worn a tuna or tuna homage does it feel really top heavy on the bracelet and especially on a lighter strap like silicone? thanks in advance.

I have a few San Martin watches, a Steeldive one and I'm waiting for a couple of Heimdallrs to arrive. With the Heimdallrs I've had to pay quite a bit in customs fees. I live in the UK. Just for reference, I've never had to pay customs fees on watches I've bought from AliExpress. So I'd say go for the San Martin. It's the slightly better quality than Steeldive and you won't get hit with customs fees, unlike Heimdallr.

It can feel a little top heavy on the silicon strap. But wearing it a little tighter solves that issue. As for on the bracelet, it's fine.

I don't have hands on experience with the MM300, but I think it's slightly bigger. I could be wrong though. Perhaps someone else has one and could tell you.

Yeah that does look good.

No I haven't. I might try that though. It sounds interesting.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR check this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adiSns6E1azSk30.html could be cool quick "mod".

I've definitely got to try this out now. It looks really good.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Could you please make a small clip of you showing us the watch without the shroud?

No I haven't, but I need to try it.

I'm not sure, as I don't have one to be able to try it.

I have a 7" wrist.

It might be a bit big.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR whoops. It's 6.9 left and 7.1 right. That might make it work.

This is a good alternative. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ep-XmNqJp7OdXY0.html

Yeah I've learnt not to do that anymore.

What strap did yours come with?

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR it was a silicone one but it was all fuzzy and gross out of the box. I have it on a black ostrich strap now.

@@se7enspac3s What, like moldy? Where did you get yours?

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR no just dirty and made out of crappy material. Got it from ebay. Wasn't a big deal as I was always going to switch the strap.

Was it new or second hand?

I think the newer models might be now.

To be honest I'm not sure, as I don't have the Steeldive one to compare them.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I see. Really hard to choose... The Steeldive had a lumed ceramicinsert and this one has a proper bracelet and clasp. Also, I like the logo better on the Steeldive.

my steeldive looks exactly the same, possibly nicer, though I've no knowledge of the relative quality differences. I'm over the moon with mine.

Yes I do.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR if you consider selling this one, would you give me first refusal?

@@williamjenkins9423 It's funny that you mention that. I'm actually looking to sell some watches at the moment. Drop me an email or message me on Instagram and we can sort something out.

Yes it's 60 click. It might not sound the best, but the action is great, there's no back play at all and it's aligned.

Yeah Seiko is definitely missing a trick. I glad you found the video useful. Did you use my affiliate link when you bought it?

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I did not but happy to email them or otherwise notify them to credit the sale to your account. Let me know what to include in email (or if better way to do it).

@@egwpisteuw I doesn't work like unfortunately. It's an automated thing done by AliExpress themselves. Basically the way it works, if you visit AliExpress via one of my links and buy something, I get a small comission, no matter what you buy during that visit. But you don't pay anymore. Don't worry about it. Perhaps next time you buy something from there you can use one of my links.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR ok, I'm definitely going to order more San Martins if this one is good.

@@egwpisteuw I think you'll be impressed with this one.

Trust me it is sapphire. It all depends on what level of starts at. The important thing is how far it goes up from the start point. If it went any higher it would be diamond.

I've added an alternative link to the description now where it's in stock.

Many thanks, appreciated.

No problem. Glad to help.

Yeah it is off, slightly. I wouldn't say it was way off though. If you look at 3:40 you get the best view of it.

Well I've had it quite a while now, and it's perfectly fine still.

That's the AR coating.

Impossible to change the Crystal as it’s cemented in

It's an homage... And in terms of specs it's superior to the original as well.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR bro i appreciate the review and all but there is no such thing as a "homage" that's just a justification/excuse for what the other guy said. it's a straight rip off of the Seiko Tuna. Call it for what it is.

@@pl2996 It varies depending on who you ask. For me personally I class it as an homage, as it's not trying to pass itself off as the original. It has different branding/sterile. Also they are aimed at completely different markets. People who buy homages aren't likely to buy the real thing. As they can't/won't pay that kind of money for a watch. So they just want something with a similar look, but at a more reasonable price point. When talking specifically about Seiko homages, a lot of the time you get better specs with homages and they cost less too. Things such as sapphire crystal, milled clasps, solid end links and even better Seiko movements. That bit especially really baffles me. Seiko now seem to be upping their prices too. But without improving the specs. This is driving people towards homages. So why buy a Seiko where you have to pay more for worse specs. Then pay extra upgrade things such as the crystal and the bracelets and if you want to even the movement itself? It just doesn't make any sense.
