Top quality homage watches
I recently decided to take the plunge and buy 2 watches in one go- the WD007 NTTD V4 Seamaster homage (black, no date) and the WD007 V4 (in blue), both from the official watchdives site. I have to say now that I have both watches in my hand, I'm over the moon with them. The V4 is really well made, and the finishing is excellent. I DID go the extra mile and spend the £100 on the titanium mesh strap for the black watch, and I'm glad I did. The quality / finish / weight of coupling the titanium case and strap make for a really lightweight watch, incredibly noticeable when compared to wearing its steel sister, the blue watch. Titanium is a reasonably unusual material for a watch and strap, and aside from the reduction in weight, it's worth mentioning that the duller matte colour is gorgeous and has such a unique, masculine, functional, rugged look. Well worth it. I've coupled the blue watch with the steel mesh strap, and the look is also stunning. I'm sure the case on the blue watch is steel (which I'm sure the site didn't mention), but I'm happy about this as the original blue seamster is steel, so it's a more accurate homage. As per the designated page on watch dives website, they acknowledge that there is some work to be done with their communication and turnaround times, and this was the case for me as a customer on this occasion. After purchase, I heard nothing re order progress for about a week, and chased via email and chat. It took a little while to hear back, but it transpired that shipment 1/2 for my order had been sent within a day or 2, so I received 1 of the watches a couple of days after chasing. The second took a while longer, for no given reason. My advice would be... the watches are really good value for money, and the quality is excellent, so just be patient and accept you've bought a watch from China, it wont arrive overnight. It's worth mentioning that the communication, though a bit haphazard, was extremely polite and professional when I did receive communication. The duty-paid shipping was also a dream, and I had zero issue with UK customs. Overall very pleased with my purchase, and if I could give 4.5 stars I would, as there is just a little work to be done with customer experience. Automated updates when items ship would solve the majority of this.
