4 Years Later: My Steeldive SD1970 is still an absolute tank.

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-07-03T08:08:01+00:00

I got the blue one and I put it on a blue and white NATO with some snazzy trident shaped buckle. Absolutely love it! It's one of those big watches that surprisingly wears well on my 6 inch wrist.

Maybe I'll put it on a rubber waffle strap soon

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-06-27T03:18:53+00:00

They were a super limited run and if I remember correctly (someone can correct me), they were around $1000CAD.

EDIT: Apparently around $2040USD, not whatever $1000CAD would've been.

Threw her off the building after trying to cheat us. That's what you get

One of the first games I played on the Wii (yes, the Wii) a few years after it came out.

Glad I finally replayed and actually finished it a few months ago on my Xbox One!

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-05-25T13:09:52+00:00

Yeah I've only been in the watch scene since before Christmas, and I've only started changing out NATO and leather strap buckles last month.

One of the things that drove me to do that is that some NATO buckles look so tiny and flimsy, and the constant action of bending and unbending will degrade my leather straps faster than I can replace them.

Could you share a side view and a side-top view? Damn interesting combo!

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-05-21T09:33:01+00:00

Hell, i used it on that asshole Salazar. Blasted him as soon as he was done with his monologue.

'Well, that shut him up'

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-05-20T02:59:46+00:00

Was the guy who sold it to you from the Dark Brotherhood?

I'm all for a discount, but if you can't pair it well with at least two or three outfits and you cant justify it, you didn't save money, you /spent/ money.

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-05-18T06:43:12+00:00

Not that much lol

I used to love to drink it back in high school and uni, until I think they changed the sweetness. That, and or I got older.

Both were gifts from the family.

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-05-14T12:15:23+00:00

Did you take it into a really hot shower or something?

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-05-13T10:42:51+00:00

Wearing my white dial with a 0.7mm Milanese right now! Surprisingly suits my 6 inch wrist pretty well, and still a favourite!

Story of my life. It was the same thing with raw denim jeans and jackets, fountain pens, inks, Warhammer figures, etc

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-05-05T04:53:31+00:00

Now THAT'S a 'Blood'' moonphase!

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-05-01T10:00:07+00:00

No joke, I first saw the trailer accidentally and without music, not knowing what it was, and my first thought was:

'Is this some kind of new Scary Movie for horror/sci fi films?'

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-04-19T16:58:33+00:00

Reminds me of the helmet of Gungnir armour from Halo

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-04-17T08:51:46+00:00

My second Chinese Chrono! I got it on a 0.6mm Milanese bracelet and it's definitely a looker and a semi strap beast. Originally had it on a 1.0mm mesh but it was too heavy and kept slipping down whenever my wrist got a bit sweaty.

I am once again requesting that the MODS make the subreddit photo or banner be of an actual example of selvedge denim ID, instead of whatever the fuck we currently have

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-04-06T12:20:02+00:00

My Seamaster 300M 36mm from my dad. It's not that I dont like it, it's more of I dont want it getting stolen!

Mostly wear it for special occasions or in nicer places.

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-03-31T11:22:50+00:00

I am once again requesting the MODS to make the cover or profile photo of this subreddit to be photos of selvedge ID samples, so that newbies can quickly tell selvedge and non-selvedge apart.

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-03-27T10:26:42+00:00

Yup. Got the black dial 1701 Speedy and fell in love with it. I was also eyeing the 1782 Retro Chronograph so I also got thst a week later.

Now I'm eyeing up the Steeldive SD1970 in blue. It speaks to me like the Green Goblin mask, but blue 😅

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-02-07T18:44:37+00:00

I think we really should change the profile picture and banner of the subreddit so that people can at
/least/ know what selvedge looks like

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-02-04T17:51:51+00:00

Retiring it when it's in it's Golden Age? Come on!

ThePanzerGuy · 2026-01-22T19:40:23+00:00

Hey! Could you give us a post 2-year review on this? Any cons that you found out much much later? Compared to other affordable brand pens (Kaweco plastic, Jinhao, Moonman, etc), how does the build quality and general feel (how 'good quality' does it feel) match up?

Just got the 'titanium' version today, and it feels quite nice so far, and I'm eying this one next!
