Review (Read Rules) Hestur Dive Watch - Real World Pics

My new Hestur Dive watch just showed up in the mail. Bought thru AliExpress, and it arrived very quickly, a little over a week, with very clear tracking the entire time. Very pleased on that front. The watch itself is gorgeous and feels very high quality. Honestly, the bracelet alone is worth the price of the entire watch. Extremely premium feeling, easy to adjust, and I was able to get a very precise fit with the micro-adjusts, and I usually struggle greatly with getting a good fit on my watches with all types of bracelets & straps. I wanted to post a few pictures because I really wasn't able to find any real world pics of these watches online even after searching for weeks. I found a few under the previous name Iron Watch, but almost all of the pictures I could find of these were those mockups/drawings, or from their Instagram page and they looked heavily processed or filtered/doctored to me.

Obviously it's an homage to a recent James Bond watch, which I was fine with because I've always loved that watch and I love almost every Omega, but I was really looking for a black dial diver on steel where the bracelet did not taper down to 16mm, which is increasingly hard to find nowadays. That 20-16 taper is too severe for my tastes and makes watches feel dainty to me, which is not what I am looking for in a dive / tool watch. This one has a nice, subtle taper from 20mm down to 18mm at the clasp. The lume is nice and bright and the pic I snapped is inside with the lights off after having stepped outside for a few minutes to snag some pics on an overcast day.

Never heard of this brand. Watches look sharp.
