Quite a few people have asked about the aftermarket clasps that I swap in on basically all my Seikos so I have linked to versions below! (and be sure to enter the titanium Citizen zenshin/forza giveaway details in the video) $8 Standard 18mm clasp replacement: amzn.to/48H9EyJ $18 Upgraded 18mm clasp replacement: amzn.to/3HD6u3g
congratz on 20k!!! i always choose the spb/62mas (bracelet ver.) because usually I only go for boring watches but a pop of colour here and there never hurts to liven up the mood
the MM200 GMT reiteration brought it to another level with a better movement, bezel and functionality while the SPB is just a more refined version of what was already there. the MM200 GMT wins in my books.
I would choose the SPB453 with a bracelet. I love the 62MAS and its references in this model seem more timeless to me. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone!
MM Bracelet You have a heart of gold mate with the back to back giveaways, always great to see the algorithm push your content up to boost the growth of your channel
my pick is the SPB453 with bracelet. The SPB383 case design looks too fancy for me. The SPB453 case design is simpler and also more timeless. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Great review as always… I gotta say it: the 62 MAS look is just too hard to beat. Gotta go with the SPB453 here. Love it. I want one and probably would go for the 455 grey/gilt or the blue… or the black!! Dang it! I like them all.
Thanks as always Marc! Yeah the 62MAS is especially timeless! I havent seen the 455 in person but its definitely a very interesting combo i think that would be my second choice but like you said all three options are awesome!
i like the SPB383 MM200 GMT the most. with the bracelet i had the same watch but i had to sell it. the specs and funtionality for me this is the best . great videoo !!
Thanks for all the content you push out analysing recent releases which helps me solidify my opinions on newer models. Hope the watch goes to a great home (: I choose the 62mas
You are one of my goto UA-camrs for Seiko watch reviews. Fanatic video as always. Love both watches. But will go with 453 in bracelet as I’m a sucker for that dial and in mm200 I’m missing mono block case of mm300. MM300 is my favorite watch period. Keep up the good work
This is a tough choice for me. I've always wanted a Marine Master on the bracelet, but the 62 MAS style appeals to my love of functionality over styling. So it'll be the SPB453 on the bracelet for me.
The close comparisons make the choice difficult but if I had to opt for just one, it would be the Marine Master on a rubber strap. Cheers for the giveaway and congratulations on 20k subs!
The smaller case size and L2L yet a stronger WR of the 62Mas wins me over. The new SPB453 looks cool on a bracelet and probably on all other straps as well 😂
Congrats on 20k! I would go with the MM200 GMT on rubber bracelet. I think the dial stands out more and if I wanted to dress it up I could always switch to bracelet.
That's mighty generous of you - I'm in to win the fantastic watch! Personally a big fan of bracelets and the MM200 is as Seiko as it gets like you said
MM200GMT i was thinking bracelet but seeing you wear it on a black rubber strap looks perfect so im going with that😊 huge congratulations on the subscriber milestone and hopefully you can celebrate 30k soon enough🫡
Marine master!!!! bracelet is best. and gmt is nice to have! Just want to express how much I (and all the other viewers / subscribers I assume) appreciate your presence in the watch community. Keep rocking on 👋🏻
Really appreciate the side-by-side with these two watches! I've had my spb383 a little over a year now and love it, but sometimes wished it had more matte surfaces and a smaller case diameter. Sooooo i guess i actually want the spb453... 😅 Tried the 383 on nato as well as waffle and tropic rubber straps - didn't vibe with any of those, so it's stayed on the bracelet. The 453 probably looks sick on a tropic strap. Cheers!
Thanks for the opportunity! I'd go with the SPB383 if I had a choice. Having owned Seiko divers with the crown at 4 o'clock, I find them very comfortable to wear, and prefer the hands/hour markers as well! Can't go wrong either way though
The SPB143 was a hit and no wonder they sold a ton of those. In the same vein, the monochrome 453 is such a handsome and stylish piece, esp on the bracelet!!
Cheers on the subscriber milestone! You deserve way more than just 20,000. For the giveaway: SPB453 / Rubber. At a glance the watch's design seems simplistic, but the proportions and case profile are well thought out.
Thank you for the giveaway and congratulations on the 20k subscribers! I love the marinemaster, its a deeper darker dial which I prefer and I love how the case hugs the wrist. Also the alternating finishes on the sides of the case give it the edge over the other one. And I'd just keep it on the bracelet.
@thewatchidiot My pick is the SPB383 MM200, perhaps on a retro waffle strap, even if i am a bracelet guy. The MM200 simply drew my attention during this entire video, and made me watch your other videos on it. This watch appears classy and unique with so many intricate details, like the handset and dial finish, chapter ring, date window(its not completely square, more like an old tv screen shape), bezel with a huge lumepip, case shape and finish, the list goes on and on, and it just draws my attention, its fun to look at. Everything just makes sense and blends together in a comprehensive design. This comparison video shows that there is no comparison to the mm200. ♥
Have to be the Marinemaster. Rubber straps for larger watches so they wear better! And I could be wrong but is this the biggest giveaway yet? Your level of generosity is inspiring!
The SPB453 is an absolute classic I own the SPB297 and I love it, especially on a tropic strap. But between the two the SPB383 is for me. As you said it’s a “pure” Seiko, but I absolutely love the GMT function and the design so for this video I choose the 383. Great video, congrats on the 20K subs! Keep it up 👍
Hey man thank you very much for giving us a chance to win such a striking watch that will fit like a glove on most wrists! You are halfway to 50K (; I vote for the SPB453 which looks perfect on a colour matched rubber strap.
SPB383 for me. As you said both are great Seiko's and the 62MAS is great, but for me the SPB383 just nicks it, cracking watch. Congratulations on the 20k subscribers, keep up the great work and content. 👍
I have the spb385 (blue dial gmt). I didn't even go into the AD to pick up the seiko. I went in for Tudor, but I was so impressed with the Seiko it's what I walked out with. I wear mine on a Strap Habit pink fkm.
One and only Seiko = Marinemaster bracelet. What a GiveAway to celebrate 20K, Thanks for being one of the few "real" watch content creators in the space.
SPB453… even though I’m a huge GMT fan, there’s something about the simplicity and elegance of the SPB453. It’s not overly complicated and it’s not too stripped down. It’s just perfect. I’d pair it with an oyster bracelet or rubber strap with white accents🤩 great comparison video!
I saw both in person before I stumbled across this video. Both beautiful watches. The MM has more flare for sure. The size specs are 2 to 3mm larger and while not a big deal on probably 7” or larger wrist, it was absolutely a big deal on my 6.5” wrist. MM sat there like a chunk of metal, where the 453 basically melted into my wrist. The thickness on specs don’t appear as different on paper as they do on the wrist. I really like the modern look of the MM, but the MAS style cases just fit better. Both watches are executed way better than some of the previous models, so good to see Seiko may be listening, especially in this price range. I had previously avoided getting into this Seiko price range, due to their super sloppy executions, and unpredictable accuracy. Can’t speak for the accuracy of the new movements, but a move in the right direction.
453 all the way. The 62MAS style is just amazing. And fits my skinny wrist way better. That said, the MM is just a beast and amazing in its own right, just comes down to the fit for me.

Great video. I’d go with the 453 on the bracelet. I like the thin case and tool-watch vibe, while the Marinemaster is way too blingy for me.
I would choose the SPB453 with a bracelet. I love the 62MAS and its references in this model seem more timeless to me. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone!

SPB453 all the way! Probably on my green zero pass nato I just got. Would be an instant classic!
Congrats on 20k! Gotta go with the SPB453 for the clean, legible dial and svelte case. I’d wear it on a bracelet or grey single-pass nato.
Thanks for all the content you push out analysing recent releases which helps me solidify my opinions on newer models. Hope the watch goes to a great home (: I choose the 62mas
Thanks for this opportunity and for always thinking to give back to the community, happy to be a supporter of the channel. MM all the way
Congrats on 20K! I prefer the simple good looks of the SPB453 62 MAS.
You are one of my goto UA-camrs for Seiko watch reviews. Fanatic video as always. Love both watches. But will go with 453 in bracelet as I’m a sucker for that dial and in mm200 I’m missing mono block case of mm300. MM300 is my favorite watch period. Keep up the good work

SPB453 on bracelet. Simply (almost) perfect.
MM200 GMT on rubber strap is absolute stunner
Congrats on the 20k subs man
Congratulations on 20k.
453 on a bracelet is a classic for me, would be a daily wear.
Spb453 definitely my favorite on a canvass strap or possibly a suede strap 😊
I love the SPB383 MM200 GMT. The rubber strap is absolute stunner
Congrats on the 20k subs!
I would choose the MM200 GMT with a bracelet. Congratulations on the 20k milestone
Fantastic video as always
I love how MM200 GMT looks on the wrist, on the rubber strap for sure
This is a tough choice for me. I've always wanted a Marine Master on the bracelet, but the 62 MAS style appeals to my love of functionality over styling. So it'll be the SPB453 on the bracelet for me.
You just manage to top each video one after the other, here's to the channel growing more!!!! (Bracelet MM200)
SPB453 62MAS is really beautiful with its steel bracelet. Ciao from ITALY
Congratulations on the 20k subs. Great video as always and awesome giveaway, I'll keep my fingers crossed
I'd go with MM200 on the bracelet
Spb453 and I’m keeping the stock strap it looks really clean so no need to drop the money to switch it imo
I like the SPB453 on the bracelet. 👍
SPB453 for me. Like the simplicity and am a bit of a sucker for heritage stories. On braclet for me too.
Many congrats on reaching 20k milestone
I'm gona say that I would go for SPB453 on bracelet if i had chance to choose one for myself
The close comparisons make the choice difficult but if I had to opt for just one, it would be the Marine Master on a rubber strap. Cheers for the giveaway and congratulations on 20k subs!
I would 100% go with the Marinemaster GMT. And straight onto a rubber strap. Cheers for for the great content 👍
Congrats on 20k subs! Same as you, the marinemaster case is my favorite seiko design ever
Both v nice but the 453 just takes it for me, on the bracelet. Thanks!
The smaller case size and L2L yet a stronger WR of the 62Mas wins me over. The new SPB453 looks cool on a bracelet and probably on all other straps as well 😂
Marine Master 200 on the bracelet, although I'm interested in the clasp upgrade you mentioned. Thanks for the review.
Congrats on 20k! I would go with the MM200 GMT on rubber bracelet. I think the dial stands out more and if I wanted to dress it up I could always switch to bracelet.
Great comparison video and two beautiful watches...if I could choose one, my pick would be the MM200 GMT
I'd keep it on the bracelet. But I need the GMT. Good luck to everyone in this great giveaway.
I have an SPB315 which I got as a mod to the vintage 6139 divers, so I would love to have that MM200. Those lines and profile look too good!
That's mighty generous of you - I'm in to win the fantastic watch! Personally a big fan of bracelets and the MM200 is as Seiko as it gets like you said
MM200GMT i was thinking bracelet but seeing you wear it on a black rubber strap looks perfect so im going with that😊 huge congratulations on the subscriber milestone and hopefully you can celebrate 30k soon enough🫡
Marine master!!!! bracelet is best. and gmt is nice to have! Just want to express how much I (and all the other viewers / subscribers I assume) appreciate your presence in the watch community. Keep rocking on 👋🏻
MM ofc. Cheers for another awesome watch being given away! Would be over the moon to win this!

The 453 probably looks sick on a tropic strap. Cheers!
The MM GMT on the OEM bracelet due to how good the case profile looks. They did an excellent job on it! 😊
I have the 453 and couldnt ask for more. As for that Citizen though!!!Gosh another beautiful piece that will stick on my mind...
Thanks for the opportunity! I'd go with the SPB383 if I had a choice. Having owned Seiko divers with the crown at 4 o'clock, I find them very comfortable to wear, and prefer the hands/hour markers as well! Can't go wrong either way though
I would go with SPB453 and I'll keep it on the bracelet
Congrats on hitting huge milestone mate
SPB453 on a bracelet is no brainer for my
Congratulations on the 20k subs, keep up the good work

MM200 GMT on rubber strap is logic choice for me
Congratulations on 20k subs and thanks for the giveaway
Definitely the SPB453 62MAS on a bracelet for me.
I pick the SPB453 on a rubber strap because it fits my wrist very well 😆 Also congratz on 20K!!!!!

I would go with the SPB 453 and keep it on the bracelet. It's a tough choice bought are awesome watches.
I’ve been looking for a comparison video for a few months now………thanks! SPB453 on stock bracelet for me. Your video sealed the deal for me.
Guess what? You won the giveaway! Send me an email to thewatchidiot@gmail.com (email is also in the description) so I can get the watch sent to you😁
Many thanks @thewatchidiot! I’ve emailed you just now.
@thewatchidiot, the code you just sent me is 3085. Thanks.
@kenjmor thanks!
I love the simplicity of the 62MAS, but I think I would go with the Marinemaster, it's really good looking!
Give me that understated look of the SPB453, and of course on the bracelet to just give it a bit more wrist presence 👀
I travel a lot and my favorite complication is GMT so the logic choice is MM200 GMT on rubber strap
Big congrats on 20k milestone
SPB453 on bracelet takes the cake . Wish everyone the very best of luck to add a new, special Citizen watch to your collection!!!

Great video, congrats on the 20K subs! Keep it up 👍
I want my divers to be as slim as possible so SPB453 on a thin rubber strap works wonders. Cheers on 20k TWI! 🎉🎉🎉
Who doesn't love a free watch?! Not me definitely 😂 Congratz on the 20,000 mark man. Sweet comparison but the 62Mas is preferred for me.
Have to go with the 62Mas they have phenomenal colours and finishing.
Hey man thank you very much for giving us a chance to win such a striking watch that will fit like a glove on most wrists! You are halfway to 50K (; I vote for the SPB453 which looks perfect on a colour matched rubber strap.
The Marinemaster, I have a mm200 non GMT and love it. Stock bracelet all the way.
SPB453 on the stock bracelet by a mile....Great build quality for the giveaway watch you sure know how to get the crowd riled up 👏
'Bracelet SPB453 This is clearly a step up from your previous GAW and oh boy is that watch a beauty to see😆
SPB383 for me. As you said both are great Seiko's and the 62MAS is great, but for me the SPB383 just nicks it, cracking watch. Congratulations on the 20k subscribers, keep up the great work and content. 👍
SPB453 on bracelet! I already have an SPB237 Willard, and an SLA047 MM300. This would perfectly compliment the collection :)
Big fan of Marinemaster models. They have an adventurous design, I love it
i would go for spb453 62mas
I have the spb385 (blue dial gmt). I didn't even go into the AD to pick up the seiko. I went in for Tudor, but I was so impressed with the Seiko it's what I walked out with. I wear mine on a Strap Habit pink fkm.

453 is my pick. However both them are top notch watches. Thank you.
I’m a sucker for the mm200, so would choose this on the steel bracelet. Can’t beat the classic look ❤
453 all the way. The 62MAS style is just amazing. And fits my skinny wrist way better. That said, the MM is just a beast and amazing in its own right, just comes down to the fit for me.
The size and proportions of the 453 really are exceptional, crazy how much of a change all the small refinements made over the outgoing 143!
