bigred25929 I have not, so I found this video review to have a look see : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v09EuWLe3w4 I tend to agree with everything the guy says--the Steeldive most likely comes out of the same factory as the equivalent Heimdallr Captain Willard (seems everyone's selling a version now). Most notable differences appear to be the upgraded lumed ceramic bezel and the slightly textured dial. Other than that they both ship with sapphire crystals and identical Seiko NH35 movements. I have to agree with the reviewer, while the lumed bezel sounds nice, the fact that it's blue while the indices are green kind'a killed that feature for me (that, and it's not true to the original Seiko). He didn't like the steel bracelet and wasn't wild about the Steeldive logo. I could deal with the logo (even though I kind'a dig the Shark logo on the Heimdalr's) but this watch really needs a Tropic strap to in order to look like a faithful (inexpensive) Captain Willard--evidently he had to shell out extra for one. Heimdalr's Willard and 62MAS ship with very nice Tropicals. Bottom line: it's not horrible ;- ) I haven't compared prices though, what did you find?

RayFI haven't really looked into it other than a quick glance on AliExpress! Mayeb I'll snoop around on "The bay" to see if any are roaming around!
