Hi guys, many thanks for stopping by the channel - yes I have watch issues so I try to mix in other stuff some balance 🤣🤣🤣!! Thanks as always for your view and your support. cheers The Bombardier
Nice comparison between old and new (I prefer the new one) and for mentioning that the crown might not be centered. That would bug the heck out of me - definitely not something to order online where I live.

Very nice offering by Deep Blue. Their T100 polycarbonate models at under $200 (w/automatic movements) are highly competitive compared to Luminox T25 quartz versions. I agree that a signed screw in crown and caseback would really take them up a few notches.

I own this watch, put it on a Crafter Blue FKM strap and now I'm in business. This reference is totally underrated for something which is one of the best in class at this price point. This could be your one and done tool watch. Not having a bracelet lowers the profile in a good way. Thanks for the review of a not discussed enough watch.

I picked up the SD1953 Hulk on an Oyster bracelet in the last Ali sale for £33.43 delivered. I agree that Ali is a crap shoot but I must have got lucky with this one; bezel and cyclops align perfectly, crown screws down well, lume evenly applied, NH35 running at +1s per day. The only nitpick is the end link tolerances could be tighter but that's it. Also, I much prefer the Steeldive clasp vs the R*lex style version. Great review.

What you are asking about is called a trimming capacitor. Some of the older G-shocks had them but a lot of the newer ones dont (likely to save cost and likely because it would be redundant in a multiband 6 or bluetooth enabled watch). I did some research a while back and I dont believe that GD 350 has a trimming capacitor.

My Casio Duro Marlin (106G with the fish and gold rimmed bezel) is my most accurate wristwatch. Trusty Seiko Solar 100M is a close second, and my Hamilton Khaki King II, while not bad for an automatic (+/- 3 sec/day depending). I see Amazon has my model at $49.92 currently (07/23/2024). Unbeatable beater at that price. It's a viable dive watch (at least for snorkeling) with 200M, screw down crown, ratcheting bezel, great visibility and teriffic accuracy.

I’ve had mine for a little over a year. Love hate relationship overall. Love the unique look, hate the misaligned bezel and movement that has no consistency. Had the bezel replaced twice by Seiko, only to receive one misaligned and scratched, and the second aligned but also scratched. After the second bezel replacement the watch was losing almost 2 minutes per day. Instead of sending it back to Seiko I sent it to an independent watchmaker who attempted to regulate it but it is still inconsistent. From +9, +20, to -25spd regardless of position. Part of me wants to sell it and start over with a clean slate spb151, but another part of me can’t bear the thought of parting with the first automatic Seiko I bought. I have an SLA033 which of course corrects all the deficiencies of the spb151, but lacks the character of the beveled sapphire crystal, and is of course way more expensive and can’t be a direct comparison.

Even many Swiss brands have parts made in China. I believe you're lying when you say a bezel replacement affected the time keeping so dramatically. It seems more likely, since you admit to taking the case back off, that you were messing with it. As an aside, I've been collecting Seiko for 25 years. I have ten 6R movements, the worst runs +12, the best is +3. The law of averages dictates that if you are correct, at least one of mine should be wildly inaccurate, but no. Not one. I think you're extremely dishonest
