    It's not a METAS certified movement. It's a METAS certified watch. COSC certifies uncased movements, METAS certifies whole watches (higher standard).

    The argument will last forever. Seiko vs………..on UA-cam now with every single Swiss brand. For this tube i will say, the Tudors are the most ugliest watches that was created via Rolex. Regardless of their movement, for those that can’t afford a Rolex , have on their wrist a boring Tudor. True, so do not deny!
    Grand Seiko has innovation ground breaking regarding movements, correct.
    Seiko, also has innovation, implemented via Grand Seiko, in their most prestigious lines.
    Seiko has been manufacturing their own movements for over a century, with upgraded versions and freely sold to the next bidder, just as the Swiss do with their movements, correct?
    Going back to the Rolex, Tudor problem.
    No one in this group can actually purchase a brand new Rolex, because the mighty Rolex doesn’t like us buying brand new watches. By all means peoples, go and buy a Rolex today brand new from a Rolex certified dealer. YOU CANT.
    That is why you wear a boring Tudor on your wrist.
    Watch making, is why most of us “Collectors” own beautiful timepieces. Seiko’s and Rolex being two of them. Unfortunately I own Rolex watches as investments. I personally think the Rolex company, who states are non profit, are if you delve deep into their true ethos, brands, mass purchases of stores, are truly a mass propaganda machine that does one thing, make money and huge amounts of it. Where that money goes is in untaxed, SWISS, BANK ACCOUNTS! Nice movements though.

    I think this was an interesting and good comparison. I also think many people aren't looking at these two truly objectively, without pricing factor and brand prestige. There's no doubt the Tudor has the superior movement and clasp, but I think that's all. I personally like the look, feel, function, wearability better on the Seiko. Cheers 🍺

    In this case... of course the Seiko!
    The Tudor BB is too chunky (one of the biggest problems with this model!!)... The Tudor is absolute top heavy and not comfortable to wear!! Have tested it 2 times!!!
    The Seiko-Body has the better finish, better sizes (smaller and its a GMT!) and over all a much more interesting and "standalone" design! The Seiko is comfortable as hell!

    These two watches really show that it costs a lot more money for minor refinements. Yes, the Tutor is 3x the price of the Seiko, but things like the better clasp and bezel action on the Tutor cost money to make.

    The Seiko dial and case look great. To me, it is much more unique and appealing. That baby Marinemaster case is a work of art. Also, Seiko ergonomics makes this case hug the wrist. However, the Tudor movement is much better. Seiko movements, while not trash, leave much to be desired. Tudor bracelet and clasp also on a different level.

    That particular Seiko movement, the 6R54, isn't that easy to regulate, and it has significant variability in different positions. Mine runs about +8 sec per day at the end of the day. I love it, but it was a headache to finally get running well. Tudor has a better movement, and they do the hard work for you from factory. The Tudor movement is much more accurate and consistent between positions.

    Would love to root for the Seiko but the movements in these are total garbage. My SPB 143 was sent back and it’s still a dog. Positional variance is +5 to -13spd. Unacceptable when you can buy a $300 Swiss watch with a mass produced ETA that will do much better.

That said, put one on a time grapher and you will be blown away at how off these movements can be position to position.

      @@darkmishkin I'll be the one to say it. Seiko moved upmarket by charging more whilst offering no improved bracelets and clasps. Their entry and mid-range movements only became marginally better. Their QC has not improved, although Tudor isn't known to have consistently good QC, either. If one can pony up the funds, overall, I think Tudor's offerings are a better value. And with Tudor, you have access to more service centers.
      Seiko international has one service center in America. Seiko requires any JDM models to be personally shipped to Japan, because the warranty is only valid in Japan. That sucks. I know this from personal experience. Needed work done on a JDM SBDC101. Seiko told me I needed to ship it to Japan. Instead, I made the repairs myself and parted with it.
      Last year, I received another Seiko with bad QC. Had to break the entire watch down to remedy the issue. Never again. I am officially done with Seiko and their shenanigans.
