Is my payment information secure?

What is the difference between the Premium Dial and Standard Dial GMT and Submariner watches?
Despite the name difference, both of our GMt and Submariner dial options are premium and have identical quality in terms of finishing, lume, and cost. Both dials are constructed of the same high-quality copper.
The only difference is in the face of the dial itself. The Premium option includes a printed logo, and is designed as an homage to the GMT-Master and Submariner dialsl. The Standard dial is more understated and minimalist in terms of the amount of text on the face, and includes a metal logo instead of a printed logo.
The Standard dial the only option we carried when our website launched. When we began offering the Premium dial, that moniker was chosen simply as a way to differentiate the watch.
Customer Reviews
Harman created an incredible watch for me . I supplied him with some ideas that I had and he was able to procure the right components and put together a great new watch. It has a clean vintage look to it. The watch is very well made and keeps great time. I will definitely be contacting Somerville Watch again for some more watches to add to my collection.
Harman made a custom GMT for me, exactly to the specifications I wanted to include a custom printed dial. He went out of his way to keep me updated on the progress and perfectly timed the shipping with my return from a long trip. The quality is amazing as usual. 10/10
Thanks for the kind words, Jordan! We're happy we coudl work with you on putting together this custom mod. Hopefully it is all fixed up and back in your hands soon

Very happy with my purchase of the submariner mod watch....worn on a leather military bund strap....no complaints .....Somerville watch company is now my go to company for a quality modified watch
Somerville Watch Co is a LEGIT USA owned & operated company. Do your research folks- there are a lot of scammer mod watch companies out there-Somerville is NOT one of them. In addition to their reviews, there are numerous other testimonials on Reddit. I even got a follow up email directly from the owner, making sure I was satisfied with the product. The quality far exceeded my expectations, and I recieved my "in stock" watch within 2 business days with tracking provided. Additionally, they had far more inventory of pre-built "in-stock" watches than anywhere else I shopped, where most others would build as needed (meaning longer lead times). This is a new company and I highly endorse them- I live in North Carolina with no ties to Somerville and took a gamble and pulled the trigger. So glad I did! So if you are on the fence, I am leaving this review to provide peace of mind. They are a legitimate USA company offering a high quality product with unmatched support. Pull the trigger like I did- I am conficent you will be impressed.
Great looking watch. Perfect for using everyday use. I bought this to try out the rootbeer to see if I liked it before buy the real thing.
Here are three of my four Somerville watches, the latest the Black minimal text sub on a Jubilee bracelet. The Jubilee makes the black monochromatic sub really sparkle! All of the watches are well built and durable with no problems over the past year. Pick your favorite and enjoy with no reservations!
I got this watch because this is something I wanted Seiko to do but they didn’t and Somerville does it really well. The watch is really well made and feels great to wear. Looking forward to buying more watches in the future.
Love this new Panda and congratulations to Harman for his assistance on building this great watch. The Jubilee. So exquisite!!!
Absolutely beautiful watch was super impressed by with quality everything works flawlessly! Watch is a true conversation piece every time I wear it I always get asked about it.
Greatly enjoying my Someville Watch Company Seiko Daytona Le Mans Mod homage! The original of this watch is a virtual carousel pony turd, only made for ~10 months. The market for the original of same is over $200K now; I'll roll with this one for ~$199, 680.00 lessc- D'uh! I put it on an alligator Bund strap, ala Paul Newman:
