From what I know, the WD007Q currently being sold is already the V2 version, and it is now produced in a new factory. Compared with the earlier version, the case finishing, brushing and overall build quality have been upgraded quite noticeably.

For a watch under $150, I honestly think the WD007Q V2 is one of the strongest options available right now. The finishing feels much better than what I usually expect in this price range. The brushing is cleaner, the edges feel more refined, and the overall case quality feels more premium than many other affordable homage watches.

Of course, it is still an affordable watch, so I am not comparing it directly with luxury brands. But within its own price category, especially under $150, the WD007Q V2 offers excellent value.

What stands out to me:

Current stock is the upgraded V2 version

Produced in a new factory

Better case finishing and brushing than before

Very strong build quality for the price

One of the best value NTTD-style watches under $150

Great option for people who want the look and feel without spending much money

In my opinion, if you are looking for an affordable NTTD-inspired diver, the WD007Q V2 is probably one of the best-finished and highest-value choices in this price range.

Has anyone else tried the new V2 version? I would be interested to hear if others also noticed the finishing upgrade.

Hi everyone,

We are working on the WD0013S, a 37.5mm vintage-style integrated bracelet watch.

Here are 9 possible color combinations: V1–V9.
All versions currently use vintage creamy lume, which gives the watch a warmer retro feeling.

We would love to hear your thoughts:

1. Which version do you like best?
2. Do you prefer the vintage creamy lume, or should we also offer BGW9 white lume for a cleaner, more modern look?
3. For this style of watch, do you think the lume should stay fully vintage, or should some dial colors use white lume?

Personally, we think the creamy lume matches the vintage design very well, especially on the gold, two-tone, green, black, and champagne dials. But BGW9 white lume may look better on the white, blue, and steel versions.

Your feedback will help us decide the final production options. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Over the past few weeks, many people have been asking when the WD1960S cream dial would be back in stock.

We’re happy to let you know that it has finally arrived.

The WD1960S cream dial is now available to order.

Thank you for your patience and support. This cream dial has a warm vintage tone in person, and it gives the watch a softer, more classic look compared with the black or white dial versions.

For those who have been waiting for this version, now is a good time to check it out.

Thanks again!

3D Super-LumiNova lume blocks
Brighter. Longer lasting. Cleaner.

Matte ceramic bezel
Top-tier case & bracelet finishing
Smooth OTF micro-adjust clasp

ST2130 automatic · Skeleton caseback
39mm · 200m WR

See the difference. Feel the difference.

Launching next Friday.

We’ve been working on something a bit different with the WD0019.

Instead of flat lume, we went with 3D Super-LumiNova lume blocks — not just for brightness, but for depth and clarity. Compared to watches like the EXD or some of the recent “lume monsters”, the glow here lasts longer and feels cleaner to the eye, not just brighter at the start.

Specs aside, what we really focused on was execution:

• Fully brushed case, crisp edges you can actually see and feel
• Matte ceramic bezel (no cheap shine)
• Smooth OTF clasp adjustment that doesn’t fight you

Inside is the ST2130, visible through a skeleton caseback — something we don’t usually do on a tool-style diver, but it felt right here.

39mm case, 47mm lug-to-lug, 200m WR — built to be worn daily, including swimming without thinking twice.

Launching next Friday. Curious what you guys think.

We wanted to share the story behind this new mother-of-pearl dial.

The pattern was inspired by trees in the early morning forest. The green tones represent spring, the white mother-of-pearl represents winter, and the black MOP glow is meant to feel like sunlight breaking through the trees.

For this dial, we used black mother-of-pearl from Polynesia and white mother-of-pearl from Australia. MOP is beautiful because every piece has its own natural growth lines, color direction, and rainbow effect. That also means no two dials will ever look exactly the same. Nacre’s layered structure is what creates this natural iridescent effect.

The difficult part was the carving. We wanted the pattern to be deeper and sharper than a normal MOP dial, but mother-of-pearl is very fragile. It can chip, crack, separate in layers, or lose its glow if polished too much.

So this is not a simple printed dial. It is closer to working with stone or jade — every piece has its own personality, and the challenge is to keep the natural beauty while still making it precise enough for a watch.

It may not be for everyone, but we really like the idea of putting a small piece of forest, winter, spring, and morning sunlight into a watch dial.
