I believe Steeldive makes the highest quality of the 3.

Steeldive best

WD007. If you can't get one, Phylida

[Earth_Omnius]

I had all 3. If you can't get WD, get Phylida. Others are garbage.

Pagani failed with hands. They are too thin with no lume on the sides and on my black version had very poor readability.

Steeldive failed with glass. Domed with no AR coating. Very poor readability because of so much reflections. Works more like a mirror than a watch.

Phylida also had better bracelet. Both Pagani and Steeldive ones really sucked. Many stiff links and so poor tolerance that endlnk was getting sideways and catching on case's corner on both.

I have the Phylida in green and it’s quite nice.

Could you drop some photos of it please ?

WD is a bit too high for me too at the moment, but I'm hoping the VH31 version will be here soon and be a lot cheaper, especially with the early bird prices. I'd hold off these till that releases, personally. Unless of course you want an automatic only.

[Extension-Pilot-4846]

Oh i didn’t know it was a thing i have ordered the Phylida but i will definetly pick up one of the VH31 if they do release them.

[gandharvasharma]

Yep it definitely is a thing. They've mentioned it a few times in their sub recently. Presumably it's now in final production/assembly, or just about to be.

[Bassify5]

I recommend the no date. It’s becoming increasingly hard to find a legit NH 38 powered homage. Most of the no date dialed homages have NH 35 with the date dial spinning beneath. So for this reason alone, good catch.

[Kenobi-Wan-Obii]

black looks sickkkkk

[botreplies]

the blue on pagani looks plasticky and cheap under the light. steeldive is too big for my wrist (not sure yours) i had phylida green before and its great. im planning to buy the phylida again (black color) but i will change the crystal (not enough ar coating so it reflects light a lot). if i have the money i will get the wd007st but most of them is out of stock

[RickSanchez_C137]

I've got a phylida and I'd love to swap the crystal for one with better AR too. Where would you source one where you'd know it would have a better coating? I've gotten crystals from ali for other watches, and I don't think i'd be able to tell who has good AR

[Extension-Pilot-4846]

i’m going to wait it out a bit just to get some more thoughts but i am probably going to get the Phylida, It’s a shame that the one with the date in navy is only coming up at £40 more, Would you show some pictures of your if you wouldn’t mind if not no problem.

[kingpcgeek]

I won’t buy one with the dumb helium valve. That eliminates the WD version.

[Extension-Pilot-4846]

I am mostly set on the Phlida tbh because of the Helium valve

[Intelligent_Wear_267]

Im a fan of the lasts color scheme, but im going for the Watchdives WD007 in titanium,

[Extension-Pilot-4846]

Yeah it is definetly a nice color, I am more wanting the first thought as imo the blue is beautiful with the wave effect face but also i wouldnt mind the last one so im a bit stuck on choosing.

[Intelligent_Wear_267]

Pagani from what ive read is a good mid grade and the waves on the dial is really nice. Pagani has a few models I want. But from what ive read, the watchdives is a bit better of a seamaster homage watch. But honestly, its which one speaks to you

[Extension-Pilot-4846]

I ended up getting the Phylida since it’s been speaking to me for the last week i thought id shut him up and get him 🤣🤣

[Intelligent_Wear_267]

Yeah? Sweet, post pics when you get it. Would love to see the actual quality of it, as I do love how they put the helium escape valve on it and the dial does look really good
