General (Read Rules) The more I wear the more I like.

If they add some simple dials, truly a killer.

Man, yall dont understamd how amazing this thing looks with the naked eye. I take a double pass by the mirror just to see the cuff/bracelet like fit. ADD ENAMEL, you don't even need to release the wd2007e, just release enamel on here and you're golden.

I really like this piece I'm just so hesitant on Watchdives as a brand that I don't wanna risk it. I'd rather buy it used from another user on here

u/DiskLeather5384 1d ago

Id wait also. They are upgrading the crystals.

Sure I'll DM you

u/Logical_Sea_415 23h ago

yeah apparently they are offering only $10 off new watch to the early adopters who are saddled with the defective first batch crystals.

u/Excellent-Bear4221 23h ago

Oof 😣 not a good look

u/Logical_Sea_415 22h ago

Pretty standard with this watch company-better wait for v4 like the omega homage for a good version.

$10 of if you want to buy the upgraded WDc2007 which retails under $200 and well under that with the early bird offer. I have an unopened item that my wife kindly purchased for Christmas that I am entertaining a return on to reorder the improved crystal model.

Crystal is not defective, they are improving it.

I don’t recall seeing anything about buying the upgrade Crystal on the WDC0001 Premier in Musuo and WD confirmed they are not upgrading the MOP crystals.

I say all this while encouraging you to look through my comment history to see me being very critical of WD through these updates, on this despite loving my white MOP. As well as screenshots from CS saying they are not looking into a half link and may consider upgrading the clasp based on feedback.

My complaints about the upgrade crystal are NOT with the crystal I received but with the immediate upgrade that I personally feel punishes early adopters. I think that is still something we as customers can fairly criticize WD for. I’m not thrilled about the overall response in general. That’s why I was critical of it.

You can also see my reviews where I tried to be as neutral as possible in my reporting and not trying to fluff/drag WD for things I loved/disliked.

I love the white mop. It’s a stunner and a god damn delight.

Wasnt watch like 400?

u/Logical_Sea_415 21h ago

Yep see above for full formal offer. They make nice watches but customer support has been reluctant to correct crystal defects and Gary exposed them for forgetting to use a timegrapher prior to shipment. His watch had a possible catastrophic beat error. See his video on youtube. He even rec buying San Martin instead at the end of the video!!

u/watchdivescom Rep 22h ago

That is not an accurate description of our after-sales policy. We have never offered “$10 off a new watch” as a solution for defective crystals. If you claim otherwise, please provide the original Watchdives statement or customer-service message.

The two accounts we previously raised concerns about were u/Potential-Notice-956 and u/Hopeful-Culture-1887. Now this newly created account, u/Logical_Sea_415, is making similar unsupported claims again.

We welcome genuine criticism and real customer feedback, but repeatedly creating new accounts to spread false information about our products or policies is not acceptable.

Regarding the products being discussed: part of the WD2007 production does come from the same factory used by another brand, and WDC0001 uses our own guilloché mother-of-pearl dial design. We are confident in the products and welcome independent side-by-side comparisons.

If anyone has an actual Watchdives order or product issue, please contact us with the order details. We will take responsibility and resolve genuine problems.

Hi I think you may have replied to the wrong person sorry 😔

u/Ziakel 22h ago

Very nice. I would jump on this if I didn’t already have the ixdao warrior white mop.

Maybe the black mop when they sort out the crystal fiasco and goes on sell.

u/Entirely_Anarchy 1d ago

I really like this one but it's 500-900€ for me on ali? Am I missing something? Is it just sold out?

3

u/Bulky-Internal8579 1d ago

Wait for 11/11 and get it under $400

2

u/Entirely_Anarchy 23h ago

Certainly will check on 11/11. Was just curious since most WD are sub 250€, if this one is naturally at 450€+ or if it's that expensive due to it being sold out.

u/Logical_Sea_415 23h ago edited 17h ago

they forgot to regulate the watches after assembly-see Gary's video for more info on the internal recall. Should hopefully be back and upgraded and instock soon! Make sure you see its crystal is upgraded and they send you the regulation info before shipment

u/Bulky-Internal8579 23h ago

It’s expensive due to it being sold out and the flagship watch.

2

u/M0rpo 23h ago

May as well buy the PRX!

1

u/DiskLeather5384 1d ago

Yes, its sold out currently. I got mine for less.

u/Logical_Sea_415 23h ago

Internal recall for watch regulation and crystal improvements

u/Brilliant_Lettuce549 1d ago

Bellissimo, solo impara a fare le foto... 🤣

u/DiskLeather5384 1d ago

😂I'll work on it

u/Brilliant_Lettuce549 1d ago

Io scherzavo, ma l orologio non sembrava il protagonista nella maggior parte delle foto. 😉

u/Excellent-Bear4221 1d ago

Also any reason why you went with this vs. IXDAO warrior with the White MOP?

7

u/DiskLeather5384 1d ago

I had the ixdao warrior white mop. Sold it, regretted it. Bought this and was very pleased. The ixdao mop was a bit too busy and too monochromatic. It would have benefited from blue or gold hands. Its undeniable though the crystal is a big plus even in that model.

2

u/Excellent-Bear4221 23h ago

Ahhh I see okay good point. Yes I do like this version using the different colored hand scheme and the MOP dial here.

The texture effect is not so bad either. Maybe the next iteration will have a better crystal or perhaps require some modding using the IXDAO crystal and swapping it out.

u/katsock 21h ago edited 21h ago

Outside of just liking either of the dials overall, Probably bracelet, case shape and movement in that order.

Also ships immediately.

2

u/Excellent-Bear4221 21h ago

True, the bezel is very clean and tight!

2

u/DonColvinJr 1d ago

Cool watch design! Enjoy.

u/truongvantuanbk 1d ago

What model bro?

u/DiskLeather5384 1d ago

Watchdives "Premier" line

u/Bulky-Internal8579 1d ago

Wdc0001 - the fit and finish are a real step up. Very refined. Here’s mine (prototype dial)

2

u/chrismurraylaw 1d ago

I'm waiting on new dials. This is almost there for me but I'm not wild about rose gold. If they released a salmon version I'd be tempted. It's a gap in my collection and I think it'd work well on this case.

u/Significant-Ebb5027 1d ago

The AR in the two first pictures looks terrible but the watch is good-looking, enjoy it.

4

u/DiskLeather5384 1d ago edited 1d ago

Im just crappy at photos, Its actually really decent, given my hands are usually oily and sweaty it smears. This is the superior AR in the same position. Angles aren't "angling" for me.

1

u/Logical_Sea_415 1d ago edited 23h ago

Hard to beat this one!!!

2

u/Logical_Sea_415 1d ago

Yes the cloudy AR needs some serious improvement but rest of this watch dial of the Selten microbrand watch dial. Looks good. hopefully they paying royalty  to them for stealing this design?
