hi! i promised early about putting up a personal review on the Dievas Vintage 3646. i got this recently, and as you can see the design is similar to Panerai Radiomir, but at a fraction of the price lar. Personally, i'm pretty impressed with quality and build, its pretty heavy, im not sure how heavy, but its as heavy as my previous owned Omega Seamaster 300M GMT.

Very easy to wind, dont have to pull out the crown, just wind it at that position. Plus the crown isnt too big, so doesnt really hurt my wrist.

my Wrist is about 6.7", so basically! okie okie lar...i do like big watches..but i think 44-45mm is the best size for my wrist.
Finally! thank you for looking at my new collection. i would say no regrets buying this homage, i think price is pretty decent, although some said that for a homage its really expensive...but friends...you want Swiss made, swiss/ german parts..then have to pay the price lor....heheheh!
But in our forum, we have some Sifus who are able to make their own homage! "Malaysia Boleh" spirit. i really do want to take a look at the complete watch, im sure it will be fantastic.
Thanks once again!

Thanks for reading...
yes! this is non-screw in, so i think water resistant is really bad..hahaha!..only 3ATM.
Well! thats what i had in mind at first, buy this an wear for a while to see if i really like wearing this type of watches...well! still i dont think this is anything compared with Panerai.
Sorry the pictures arent that great, i just took them outside with compact camera.
Also, its stated vintage lume....well! its really bad...dont think theres any lume at all! hehehe
