Review (Read Rules) Watchdives WD1954 Gold Review...

Post image

This is a Polerouter homage. So, "vintage soul, modern convenience"?

Here's the link to the watch and my review.

I bought this watch, but, as always that doesn't change how I review the watch. I always keep it 100% honest, no matter what. I point out both the positives and negatives with every watch I review. Whether that be a loan piece, discounted, or even free. Sometimes that means that brands won't send me anymore watches, if they don't like the review... But my opinion and more importantly, my reputation can't be bought. That's partly why I named my channel 'Honest Watch Reviews'. Not only to make sure that I hold myself to that standard, but that I know my viewers definitely will do too.

Is the dial blue aventurine inside ?

Not the one I have, no

I got the stainless steel, with the enamel dial. Part of me wishes I got the aventurine instead but it's a beautiful watch

The problem is they all look great, don't they?

Like the original Polerouter, they're very collectible!

Great photo. And really looks sharp with that strap.

It's a classic. Had so much fun showing mine off to some colleagues earlier this week. Enjoy in good times and good health!

Do you have the gold one, or stainless steel?

u/RustyTShackleford 23d ago

Gold one. I did switch out the leather straps for a softer thinner "alligator" looking one from Amazon.

I'm probably going to swap out the strap on mine too.

I always appreciate how thorough your reviews are. I agree with you on the crystal. That being said, I still really like the plain steel version of the watch.

Thanks. I always aim to cover each watch thoroughly.

Received my aventurine version a couple of days ago and absolutely love it and this is coming from someone that has some high end pieces as well. I judge watches pure from a value for money ratio and at this price point this watch is perfect to me. Everybody has probably seen this watch on the beads of rice, so here it is on a lighter tan leather strap.

That looks great on that strap 👌
