Seiko SRPE27K1 PADI Monster Unboxing
Hey watchfam. Just a quick, enthusiastic unboxing of the new Seiko SRPE27K1 PADI Monster. So enthusiastic in fact that I forgot to properly mic back up after the cut to prep the wrist shot. Therefore, the audio's not as clean as I'd like in the second half. In any case, I'll follow up with a full review. Please let me know if there are specific aspects you'd like me to address. I plan to use a third gen Monster and a couple of other PADI divers as points of comparison.
I picked it up from Marc at Long Island Watch.
www.longislandwatch.com/Seiko_PADI_Editon_Monster_Watch_SRPE27_p/srpe27.htm
The featured strap came from Ute Watch Co. (formerly ToxicNATOs)

The wristwatch check was

I have no insider or business connection to any of the above. I'm just a fan of all of the them. They just deserve much love for being awesome.

Strapcode Super Engineer II vs. Uncle Seiko Razorwire on the Seiko Turtle

The rubber strap just wasn't enough for my Seiko SRP777 Turtle. I needed a bracelet. I ended up with three of them.

    Just returned it. The height is 'only' 12.7mm but seems much higher because of the design. Too bad, I find the idea very original and one of the few quartz movements that I would pay a premium for. The 30m water resistance and the stamped clasp could be better but I could live with that. Let the next version be better designed, there is still margin to sell this more expensive.

    This is exactly. Where I am starting. Got a weekender today and already scoping my next watch. Budget watches. Seiko most likely. Then a dive. My $650 Samsung Watch ultra is staying on the desk today. I'm a woman with a 6" wrist and thought I liked huge heavy watches but this Weekender feels awesome. Its also a strap monster and i have a few from my previous 20mm lug smartwatch so it will be fun.

    Turtle on Razorwire ist the most comfortable combo in my substantial collection. Better than leather or anything else, even than some smaller watches I own. Its like silk, never pulls hair either. And I had this combo now for 2 years plus, it will stay on my turtle for good.

  • @davidcochran848
    @davidcochran848 Рік тому

    For a sports watch the strap is very fragile. Not much point in having a nice shockproof watch if the strap is prone to disintegration. Worst of all is the totally non-standard design of the strap fixings that make it impossible to easily replace it. Why do we need a strap that has nonstandard fixings?

      Late to this obviously, but the watch itself isn't heavy to the point of needing to 'counter balance'. Size any band correctly for the turtle and you are just fine.

    I too purchased the razor wire for my turtle. It looks just so amazing. When It finally arrived, the buckle/clasp was felt very flimsy and for me the sizing was a nightmare. Ensuring each individual link is properly lined up was just too much for me. Once it is properly sized then it is not an issue, but I will not buy another razor wire bracelet just because of how much of a hassle it is to size.

    The stopping of the second hand at 12 drifts off after sometimes a few hours or a few days. I put in a new battery despite jeweler claiming nothing wrong with old battery. Still drifts off 12. Not a “comfortable” watch to own. Always wondering if the stop at 12 will still be working when I look at time …
