AddiesDive AD2030. Does it dial the right number?

Dial, dial, dial. That's exactly why you buy this piece. I got this AddiesDive watch during the Ali Express sale for the price of $61.42 after tax.

I actually really like this watch. The 36mm case satiates my recent affinity for vintage pieces and fits my smaller(6.5in) wrist size. The dial is really cool to looks at, especially in sunlight. But, there are some textures issues(see pics) that seem to be a design choice rather than a defect, for the fact that I see the same issue on the ad photos. May just be me. At the end of the day I do not regret this purchase at all. It's very unique and fills the role of my "from left field" category watches. For the price I would absolutely recommend you grab one. It also comes in a ice blue and polar white colorway.

Nice review. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like sand! I love it.

I instantly fell in love with that sand dial when I saw the first reviews, before falling out of love just as fast because of the logo. It's a shame they put this bulky dive gear logo on a more subdued dressy piece.

I Agee. The AddiesDive text would be 10x better. I still like it.

I think the Rado logo is hideous, but I can separate the case design and logo just enough to not hate the piece.

I am really tempted by this. Perhaps the 'white sand' dial 🤔

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pictures 🙏

Snap.. mine arrived today.

Same shape above the 3 but I think that's to complement the sand contour between the 4 and 5.

The strap is a bit sharpish , my Pagani feels a lot more sturdier in the strap department, but for €53 I'm happy.

Heck the cost of servicing this will be more than the goddam watch 🤣

I think a strap change might be worth a look at, any suggestions o wise folk?

Great little watch. Really enjoying mine!

Bought it from @Johnswatchjoint on ebay which saved me the long delivery time 😂

·

If you were to change the strap what would you go for?

Is this a similar case to the Explorer 1? I’m toying around with the idea of putting a rubber explorer strap on this
