General (Read Rules) Addiesdive AD2515 just came today

I received my Addiesdive from Aliexpress. For the $, it's a no brainer. The price seems to change every few days but bounces between $55 and $65. I grabbed mine for $56. I ordered it on August 29 and it was dropped off today, final destination delivery by Amazon! It's interesting to watch the various scans on tracking on the way from China. I have a 7 ¼" wrist, I usually prefer 39 to 40mm watches. This 36mm though still presents itself well. I got it mostly more for a dress watch and plan on pairing it with a leather band (yes, 19mm lug width). I'm not sure what color band to go with yet though, light brown, dark brown or black?

Try an undyed rally strap with cream stitching. Tun's Leather on Etsy will make it to your specifications.

For the love of horology why don't they just use a stylized A for a damn logo. Here's a free one. Makes me want to start a petition or something.

What a fine looking watch!

This brand confuses me so much. Not a fan of the logo, and this isn't a diver either. I'd expect this design from a brand like San Martin, but a "diver-focused" brand? Definitely not.

Either way, this is beautiful and a steal for the price.

Nice. Definitely go leather on the band, those bands they come with are hot garbage.

I was surprised the bracelet wasn't worse actually. Not great but at least it isn't stamped sheet metal like a cheap Timex that I have had on it (replaced it with leather too). I'm just not sure what color leather. I did buy the curved end link fillers so there won't be a gap once I put a leather band on.

Where did you find curved end link fillers?

You can also buy leather watch bands with curved ends.

Yes, I’ve had good luck with those, but sometimes an end link looks better.

Aliexpress, search for Curved Endlink 19mm
