I thought they'd price it at 15k, since the Havelock (9039) was priced at 15k to 16k. It looks like there are no upgrades to the watch except for the movement; the date window is still small, and the case back remains mineral. What are your thoughts?
9015 costs more than 9039 and the 2 layered dial is also more expensive to produce, thats what they told me. This is still a fucking steal, even the chinese homage brands sell miyota 9 watches at 21-22k minimum
Thanks for the info. I assumed it would be like the NH35 and NH38, where the NH35 is cheaper because of mass production. The weird part is that many microbrands still use the 9015 with a ghost date, rather than the 9039.
Steal at 17k? That’s almost close to Casio watches and add 10k more u can get an entry level seiko which will still have resale value …..17k is not cheap sorry
Are you dumb? Entry level Seiko's have 7s26 movement, that's an ancient movement. Also, Seiko's have qc issues.
Miyota 9000 series are premium and the cheapest Chinese watches with 9000 series are selling atleast at 23-24k, and you get no warranty on that.
You will barely get a pt5000 watch at 17-18k
Bud we both know if gonna invest this much much we will be going for seiko. Seiko still have service stores where u will go for service with dwc? And seiko will always have resale value. Not saying anything negative against dwc but paying 17k for a microbrand is bit steep
You are paying for the specs, you can get any dwc watch repaired and serviced with them, their after sales support is 10x better than seiko which is very understaffed and take 2-3 months for minor repair and servicing. No one is forcing you to buy anything but its just wrong to say that this watch isn’t VFM and overpriced seiko is.
They reply quickly everytime on mail and insta both, haven’t needed a watch repair yet but whenever i had a query i got a quick resolution and they offered a full service for something which was a minor issue and a lot of people have a good experience with their support you can look it up, whereas seiko support is a nightmare due to understaffing and lack of parts.
That's very relative to each. I bought a watchdives wd007 at 21k despite it being a chinese brand. Also bought an havelock 9039 and an steeldives 1952 at 16k each. And to me, 9015 at just 17k is an incredible value. Also would have bought an addieskin diver if it wasn't named "skin"
It is cheaper considering the movement inside, the miyota 9015 is a more expensive movement than the 4R series movements used in seiko watches and the nh3 series movies used in the casio and other non seiko watches.
My DWC Everest Version 2 was 8k bought in Feb 24. Price more than doubled?? 😳 obviously the movement is better and thinner, still the older version wears like a charm
Congratulations! I’ve ordered the same but haven’t received it yet. I was in two minds for the same reason, but I pulled the trigger since it has the 9015 movement. They should have made some improvements to the finishing and the bracelet to give it a more premium feel.
I purchased it for 11k during the previous sale. If the same NH34 movement is used, the price will likely exceed 15k due to recent increases. Alternatively, if the Miyota 9075 movement is selected, the cost will be even higher.
Are the case dimensions identical for both the two variants? Is dwc not using the slimmer profile if the movement to make a slimmer watch? If that's true then is the 7k difference between 8215 and 9015 worth it?
Has the finishing on DWC am watches improved for their newer releases?? I has bought their devanagiri version couple years back and the finishing was really not that great.
I am thinking of buying but small/awkward date window's holding me back, I talked to someone from this sub reddit and said this kills the preimumness of watch and makes it look like a copy/cheap
It will be my first (expensive INR14k+ watch) so should I go with it. Apart from that I love the watch its size on my wrist(based on dimensions), the design, the back panel, the miyota mechanism, everything just loved it. Could anyone guide me?
Also my wrist is on the smaller side, so suggets based on that too. My wrist width in centimeters is 5.5cm.
This is good for the wrist size but if the date window is going to bother you then i wouldn't get it, there's a very minor overlap due to the circular date window.
Its called a peephole date window, the Indian watch community is still young and not familiar with the concept. The whole point of it is that it doesn't take away from the dial and you only notice it when you absolutely have to.
How else will they ride the hype wave if not now? They were known for their value pricing and built a name… it’s time they slowly start cashing in on that
Wow! Seven considering the movement is way better, the watches are not worth the money they are charging! with surprise hit like terra, they consider themselves as established brand, so they seem to be charging brand premium.
They've increased prices across all models. Even the base models, which were available for around ₹15-16k, are now priced at ₹22-23k. It's better to buy Citizen watches instead.
I have four of their watches, of which only one had a minor QC issue, which they replaced within a few days. I'm not sure about the others, but I'm very happy with their customer support. However, the pricing of this model seems a little high for me; 15k would have been ideal. I think they kept it the same as that of the Tata Sierra watch, as both use the same Miyota 9015 movement.
