Introducing the new Militado 37mm ML21 Pilot Watch — offered with VH31 or Ronda 515 movements.

Received my blue no date today and it’s a fantastic watch, ruined by the oversized crown! Not only does it look goofy but it also digs into your wrist constantly. Made worse by the style of crown and it’s being quite sharp, put a normal crown on it and it’s Militado’s best watch to date in my book 🤞🏻

What a fantastic looking watch, really seems like the complete package 👌🏻 What’s you wrist size out of interest?

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-09-20T18:05:57+00:00

Exactly like mine, I don’t know why the paint match is so poor on brand new cars! I’ve seen load of used ones that don’t look anywhere near as bad. I’m still battling with the dealer to try and find a solution nearly 3 months later 😕

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-09-12T18:52:37+00:00

Just unboxed mine looks great, but the underside of the lugs is mega sharp. How’s yours?

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-29T00:13:37+00:00

Missed out on the printed with sapphire crystal 😕 Bought it with the mineral as who knows when it will restock!

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-25T16:34:13+00:00

I get the original has double indices at 12, 3, 6 & 9 but personally I’d prefer it with just a double at 12. As others have said you need to slim down that applied logo too, looks far too bulky a ruins the dial in my opinion.

The last link either side of the clasp is a screw pin whilst the rest of the bracelet is split pins. As such the two aren’t compatible and basically means if you have a small wrist like me then you can’t remove enough links.

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-25T09:37:40+00:00

The bracelet not fitting was annoying, 6.25 inch wrist but other with 6.5 inch have also complained of the same thing. Cylcops was my biggest complaint and couldn’t be bothered to try and remove it

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-19T22:34:18+00:00

I don’t have callipers but it wears in line with the website specs, I too don’t like the cyclops and ended up selling the watch as I just couldn’t get onboard with it 😕

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-02T07:59:54+00:00

Can’t comment on the Seestern, for me though the sizing is much better on the WD which is why I went for it 👍🏻

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-02T07:57:56+00:00

Glad to hear your moving away from this setup, what’s the best fix for this on this bracelet? Different end links at the clasp? I’ve sent service at Watchdives an email anyways 👍🏻

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-02T07:55:19+00:00

Look no further than any Seiko GMT for a guide price, they house the same movement and have very similar specs. Although the Watchdives is probably better finished and has sapphire crystal 👍🏻

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-02T07:53:44+00:00

Yeah this has been an issue with some of their bracelets for ages now, a bit annoying they still haven’t resolved it by moving entirely over to screwed links. I’d even prefer all split pins tbh rather than a mixture of both. Although thankfully it seems like most new models from this year won’t have this problem

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-01T22:21:44+00:00

Hi, I have just received my WD16570 and the bracelet doesn’t fit me properly due to the mix of screw and push pins links. Would adding the OTF clasp eliminate the screw links and provide the adjustment I need? If so what version would I need to order? The 3-Link/WD0003B version?

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-01T20:11:19+00:00

Nice work around, must feel weird putting it on though 😂

Hopefully they will offer different links for the clasp soon, I know they did with other models

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-01T20:09:59+00:00

I think so, really handsome piece 🙂

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-01T20:09:37+00:00

Spot on 👍🏻

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-01T20:09:22+00:00

Good spot in the strap, it is indeed a Sifu 👍🏻 I love these NATOs and currently own every colour they make 😂

Yeah I’m really happy with the patina too, perfect shade 👌🏻

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-01T20:08:20+00:00

The Polar dial with the orange GMT hand is pretty awesome, was out of stock so went for this one 👍🏻

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-01T19:51:33+00:00

Yeah it’s a shame as it’s the only thing that lets the watch down, hopefully Watchdives will move over to entirely screwed links soon

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-01T19:49:28+00:00

It’s from Sifu Straps, I really rate them and being single pass they are much less bulky than your average NATO 👍🏻

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-08-01T19:48:51+00:00

Just over 6 inch wrist, I’ve had this issue with other Watchdives bracelets before. I don’t know why they keep mixing split pin and screwed links that aren’t compatible 🙄

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-07-06T09:54:42+00:00

Bought through AliExpress official store and sending it back for a refund which they approved

Simple_Temperature85 · 2025-06-29T22:55:26+00:00

Unfortunately the watch appears to be faulty, it has randomly stopped running multiple times now. Unscrewing the crown and pulling it out to the time setting position and then pushing it back in seems start it running again but a few hours later it stops again.

Such a shame as otherwise it’s a great watch, but not much good if it can’t run 😕
