Addiesdive Watch No.2
Addiesdive No.2 has arrived today & I must say this Brand is knocking my socks off. What you get at such a low price is amazing. This is the Luminox Sea Lion Homage this time that retails around the £300 mark but the Addiesdive MY-050S only cost me £15 New 🤯 (Stock Photo this time as I am in the middle of modding mine then I will take pictures myself & post the results)

Have you tried looking into Steeldive for the Willard? They've upgraded to milled clasp and better bracelet than the Addiesdive from what I've heard. My Addiesdive Willard still have standard pressed clasp which is a bit 'meh' if I were to compare to Steeldive.
These guys along with Steeldive are biting at the heels of San Martin it seems, as SM seems to be moving "up market." If that's a term that can really apply to AliX?

Yeah I hated the Bracelet on the Tuna I got as well so I just changed it out immediately. I want a Engineer Bracelet for when I buy the Willard so I will just buy one separately probably cost me way more than the watch itself 🤣 same as the Tuna did I paid £52 for the Tuna & put a £62 Zulu Dive Italian Rubber ND Limits Strap on it 🤣🤣🤣
Cool watch! I have the Addiesdive Willard on the rubber strap, which in my personal opinion is better look. Addiesdive and Steeldive are basically the same company from all I read about them.

Yesss! Exactly!! These Chinese brands are really something man 🤣
Addiesdive watches are great value for money! Got my 1000m puck over the Christmas break for £69. I’ll never go 1000m deep but if I am I’ll probably be in a sharks jaws lol!
I built a few Captain Willard homages but I kept selling them off. I bought and will keep my Addiesdive MY-H8. It's every bit as good as one of my builds and was less expensive than the total cost of parts.
I was looking at these to add to my already numerous Addiesdive collection. Great value and reliable so far. Can't wait to see the mod. Enjoy!

I am gonna do an Aviator Watch build myself shortly then I will do a Diver if all goes well 😁
Just to buy the Miyota 2115 Quartz Movement & the Strap separately would cost £18.50 so £3.50 more than I paid for the whole Watch 🤣🤣🤣🤣
man that's pretty awesome, I'm on the market for a 3000 series luminox and am now searching to see if they make a copy of that 😂

It just a slightly different Bezel on the 3000 is it not ???

kinda sorta, specifically looking for:
43mm case, 46mm(ish) lug to lug, a little less rugged looking in general
I just measured mine accurately 45.1 mm to Bezel 49.7mm inc Crown & 51mm Lug to Lug hope that helps bud
Thanks so much for doing that! I think it may be a little bigger than I prefer, but I have to keep in mind that I have a pretty large Armitron Adventure Solar that is 46mm in diameter, 49mm including the crown, and 55mm lug-to-lug. I also have a Nixon "The Unit" which is 49mm diameter across, 50mm if you measure diagonally, and a whopping 58mm lug-to-lug. Somehow, it fits. The MY-050S just might work... I will have to think about it.

Definitely wears smaller on the wrist & not to bulky on the Nato Strap either as some Watches can sit really high on a Nato but not this one. Very comfortable. Feels & looks way more expensive than it £15 price tag would suggests

If it's still on my mind in 3-4 days, I'll have to grab it. I've been close to buying another Casio MRW200h but I think this Addies is tempting.

Mrw200h are far to small for me looked like a kids watch thats why I got the My-050S as I like a bigger Watch on me anyway & this still on the small side but looks fine 🙂
Does this have tritium tubes?

A Few changes so what it looks like now

It was still on my mind this morning, so I found one for $23 USD on Aliexpress. I picked the orange dial, white numerals on the bezel, and the metal bracelet. 😎👍

I would put it on an Orange or Black Nato G10 or Orange or Black Sailcloth Strap with Black Hardware as the Bracelet that came on my Addiesdive Tuna wasn't great.

I tend to swap bracelets with straps and back quite a lot anyway. I expect a little clinky-ness. I have the Addiesdive MY-H8 and it's bracelet is okay, though I keep it on a rubber waffle most of the time.

My main issue was the clasp not so much the Bracelet so I will upgraded to a better clasp & keep the Bracelet as well
That name brand it’s getting a lot of traction can’t beat that lume quality.
