sorted by420 SS would not be suitable for watches especially in the sea as it'd a lower chromium and high carbon steel.
It's great for cutlery, blades and some tools but not suitable for a watch.
With SS watches the golden standard is 316L as it has a high chromium content with low carbon , some people have kind of corrosive sweat, seawater also, it's used in marine applications.
It's nothing special in the watch world.
For SS in watches its 316L and a few brands use 904L but in my opinion brands like rolex only use 904L so they can say it'd a kind of precious metal and its not, just marketing.

In the sale for £65 including tax is a steal. The bracelet is stunning, like a young Bert Reynolds...

It also sticks two fingers up to Seiko's overpricing and poor QC.
Ali x has changed and sides with the seller.
Deal should be edited to include VAT.
I tried to post it as a deal, but despite having 94% positive feedback over the last 12 months, the Amazon marketplace seller doesn't have the requisite 300 feedbacks so was deleted by hukd. (edited)
Ali used to be better now they take the side of sellers.
PP is not great...
I buy a decent amount from them and I told them that any faults and I will send them back.
But I do know Chinese culture anyway I do my own qc checks, demagnetize, put on a timograph.
Less than 5 percent failure.
It is a good watch but they will try to get rid of customer returns during sales.
But a good one is really good, it's a fully loaded 21600bph auto.
In my opinion they are easily worth 150 when you compare them to the Seiko remake that's over a grand I think and it's closer in shape to the OG.
The only big watch brand worth the RRP is Orient, they are not even sold in the UK.
Ali express is getting more and more risky.

aliexpress.com/ite…tmlThis reviewer Its Complicated is unhappy with the SD1975 golden / yellow variant (though, Youtube reviews highlight Aliexpress is hit and miss, which is true) - I have seen more positive reviews of this, too:

He seems to prefer the SD1970S Bronze Case Steeldive, though it's considerably more expensive aliexpress.com/ite…tml

Am i missing something?
54.73 * 1.2 = £65.67
If you pay in dollars using a fee free card you'll save a quid or so as well, always pay in dollars on aliexpress! And use topcashback. (edited)
But not for me, dont want a seiko Lookalike wanabee clone (edited)
In my opinion it's worth 150 with the specs you get if it'd a good exanoke me
Watches in the UK cost a fortune
They usually offload some scrap during sales, the higher QC stuff goes to SD importers like me but can also go on Ali.
Ali x is favoring sellers too much now m in the past they sided with buyers.
Unless you don't know to protect yourself on Ali it's a risk.
I've had mine for 2 years and its perfect, great for modders also.
Official Seiko dials are pricy knowing where to get the good ones, most people don't tell.
The Willard is smaller, at 42.7mm, this is 44mm.
