It's not the worst, but I, too, have only sterile dialed Steeldives because I'm not a fan of the logo.

I agree - I can't get on with the Seiko 6105 case shape.
For me it just seems to sit on the wrist rather than following the contours - I suspect it's a wrist shape issue as most reviewers seem to...
I think it does and I'm usually a fan of blue watches.

I've got a black one and it's on a par with the 6105 and Tuna alikes, IMO.
My Tuna has a particularly nice bezel action, but there's nothing really wrong with the MM300 (or 6105) at the prices...
Both my Steeldive's have sterile dials (one by choice, the other simply arrived that way) and I prefer that.
I would, though, say (as I have elsewhere) that the Tuna is the pick of the 3 (I had a...
I only have one (on a Tuna), but I think it's quite nice quality personally - Better than anything I've ever had on any Seiko I've bought!

I'm pretty sure there's a quartz Proplof replica out there.

Well, what do you think? [emoji3]

I suspect for the first time, but the price seems good compared to Aliexpress sellers!
If I didn't have a Helson, I'd probably consider one of these.
It's not much money for a big lump of...
Well it's a sample of 3 (or 1 of 3 depending on how you look at it), but at least we know they do put some effort into sealing them properly.
I may just have got lucky, but judging from the...
Just to finish my diving tests, I took my Steeldive Tuna to 26M on Saturday with no issues, so that's 3 watches from these ranges (If you accept the Heimdallr is essentially the same watch) that has...
Ah, thanks, I did wonder, but thought that was major feature of the.design
I guess seal technology has got better.

Some on Ali Express with some videos and more photos.
For example :...
I wouldn't, as I've already got a Voyager :biggrin:

I don't know what a 6309 sells for, but you can get the Steeldive for around £100, so it's unrealistic to expect the same quality as a current Seiko costing, what, 15 or 20 times the price?
What...
It does make you wonder - If Seiko can make unregulated NH35s, fitted to Chinese made watches, run at +5 to +20s/d (measurements from my 4 watches with NH35 - I'm quite disappointed with the +20!),...
Today I brought my MM300 alike diving.

Only a 17M dive today, but the watch has held up fine after 45 minutes in...
My Heimdallr is 100g on the silicon waffle strap.

Seiko seem to struggle aligning bezels to markers, let alone chapter rings...

Well, I took my Heimdallr diving today.
Maximum depth of only 24M, but no issues, so I think that's acceptable.
Might become my go to UK Diver as we had a dolphin join us on one of the dives,...
Agreed and in many ways that (QC issues) is the big concern, but at least the video suggests that they are capable of withstanding recreational diving conditions.
I paid around £15 a couple of...
Well to answer (sort of) my own question, I found this video from the ILW2 channel.

As you can see he's tested the San Martin Turtle case to 6 Bar, which is...
