Got mine SPB455J1 ....unboxing it while listening to Iron Maiden's Rime of the Ancient Mariner ... Holy Diver !!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Haha! Nice!
I just bought one of these. The new marine master is only 200m, but yet they release this with a 300m depth.
I know! Crazy
ahh come on. the new marinemaster 200 is just the start of a new line for seiko. the mm300 will be released soon - google "SLA079"... they have already been leaked. i can also imagine we will see professional tunas next year with mm text on the dial.
You could always buy a Citzen Fujitsubo Diver with a titanium bracelet which looks very similar to this watch. Of course the Citizen Watch only has 200M water resistance. I really like how Seiko increased the water resistance by 100M over the 62 MAS with without increasing the case thickness of the watch.
@@reilly-vc1rm definitely not. Just the fact that the marine master has historically been 300m, but they’ve dropped it to 200m, but then give these 300m.
I wish they kept the brushed bezel of the spb143 and made the bracelet tapered to 16 cm. That would be my ideal Seiko.
They copy the BB58 with anodised aluminium material on its bezel. For me it looks better. 👍🏼
How well does the movement keep time? I think it is a great looking watch and it has Tudor Pelagos looks. Only thing I am a bit skeptic is the movement because 6r35 movement is not a good movenent so I wonder if this is better?
Fair point. So far, so good.
I have the SPB149 and the movement is crap. I'm sure this will be the same. It's the same movement only with a bit more power reserve. Crap.
Thx for the video.
It is a 300m dive watch. Is this mm300 on 62mas version 😅?
It's a 300m watch, yes. :)
Does the bracelet fit the lugs better than its predecessor?
Yes!
Anyone care to share the accuracy?
To me, the 143 is better. Brushed bezel, grey dial, little bit bigger and chunkier which I like and also 4 micro adjust holes.
Matter of taste I guess👍🏽
@@cohan.forcer
Exactly ; eye of the beholder.
I prefer the newer models because they have LESS chunky dimensions , and therefore closer to the classic 62MAS archetype.
I tried one on a few days ago. Very attractive, perfect proportions, I was definitely tempted (even moreso when offered a 20% discount). A few things ruined it for me though - I dont like the look of the aluminium bezel insert (I thought the steel one on previous models was cool), and the bezel action felt the same as my Seiko 5, smooth but very light clicks and some backplay. Sounds silly but I just couldn't get over the bezel feel. If I'm going to pay over £1000 for a Seiko it needs to be perfect
I kind of agree.
@@cohan.forcer I'm glad it's not just me. Despite some reviewers proclaiming Seiko divers have a fantastic bezel action, every one I've got my hands on has felt exactly the same, and not in a good way. I opted for a Vulcain Nautique instead and I'm very satisfied with the snappy, solid and precise bezel feel. Thanks for the great showcase!
Surprised you had back play. I have no back play with my spb1
053 and spb147. That's a shame
@@user-iz9co4qf6z It wasn't that bad really, and wouldn't have been enough to put me off alone. But combined with the weak clicks/vague action, it was enough to put me off sadly. If they could make it snappier I'd probably have to pick one up
The blue is my pick .
Mine to, actually.
When people are saying #amzwatch is a better option for buying a watch,I very much agree!
The Seiko watch is a great timepiece, and it is unlikely to attract unwanted attention or theft compared to my Omega Seamaster chronometer. Additionally, the Seiko watch has superior lume and a more impressive power reserve than the Omega Seamaster.
Yepp, but you’re Omega is still the superior watch.
@@cohan.forcer OMEGA AND IT AINT EVEN CLOSE😊
Hey man, the Seiko is just as accurate as the Omega, and it has a longer power reserve. The anti-magnetic isn't as good, though.
This Seiko and the omega are both SHITTERS
@@whereRbearsTeeth why do you say the Omega Seamaster and seiko are no good because they're not as accurate as a quartz watch such as Gshock
Please Seiko drop that X to make it more like a vintage Seiko, a signed crown. And just a simple 300M on the dial.
Less is more when it comes to classic retro style.
I agree!
Hi just wondering what your wrist size is please? Im very close to pulling the trigger on this one...
16,5cm 🙂
Is it a ceramic bezel?
Nope.
I have the 147 and don't think there's a reason to go for these.
Fair :)
The brushed grey colours were iconic and a great shame if they are gone for good. The clasp in particular is inexcusable at this price point in 2024. Otherwise great watch though the innacurate movement is a shame
You have a point.
That is a stunning looking watch, i do own 3 seiko, i would like to ask Seiko to do away with that horrible " X " on the dial 🤔 Au
Agreeee
It looks better than the submariner when side by side
In the video?
@@cohan.forcer yes
@@cohan.forcergreat video by the way
For me, it’s the most compelling of the current Seikos. But I don’t know why they added more water resistance rather than making it even slimmer. I’d prefer 200m and
Haha, fair point.
Good
TY!
Not "hidden" as it just released. YT titles are an essential skill for a creator, that's an area to work on.
Haha, you know why :)
I have to say that #amzwatch 's watches is amazing!
Thanks, I guess?
2k is bonkers money for that watch
$1300 USD is list price.
@@manzahalem8845 oh ok. I thought he said $2000.
why ?
The should do something with that ugly clasp, make it tudor style, smaller, thinner and with a nice logo instead of this ugly one
Agree, Seiko has a way to go when it comes to clasps.
I just got myself an Orient Kanno Green for 170 USD and I feel no need to dish out 2000 USD on these boring Seikos.
Seiko is greedier and greedier these days.
How do you like it? Yoi kind of have a point.
@@cohan.forcer , I love this Kanno even more than my Kamasu (also in Green, but it's that teal/dark green version).
I find this Kanno to be a great Submariner Hulk homage, while retaining some of characteristis of it's own.
It's not a copy of the Hulk, but it does remind me of it.
The movement is the same as in the Kamasu and Mako/Ray, so I expect the accuracy to be in the +-5 sec / day range.
Hidden?? I can't escape their advertisments, Im also done with any "remake" or other lazy remake rip off, especially from seiko.
Nice but 40mm .. too small. Getting fed up with these endless midget watches.
Not me ;)
If you pronounce it "Pro-spexs" rather than "Prospects" it sounds more like you know what you're talking about.
Haha, thanks!
Seiko… copying the Rolex submariner since the 1960’s
Haha! Not the only ones.
Way overpriced IMO, as all Seikos have become.
What would you get at this price instead?
this thing is a massive ripoff for the price they are asking.
Well name 3 models in that price range or under that are way above it.
@@NCSheriff7 you honestly would pay $1300 for this????
@@jaer.6540 well I got my SPB299 pretty new on ebay for 700Euros so thats the limit for me😂 and the models are often on sale so come on. I mean compared to a Mido 200C its kinda the same specs, ofc I prefer the quality of a Mido with the bracelet. But seiko is inhouse, the model and the brand got a richer history and its more a classic. And I heard on longterm like in 10 Years japanese movements are more consistent accurate than the typical swiss. Dont know if its true💀. not a „massive“ ripoff overall. If I really like the model I would pay 1100 new. For me the new models are too basic looking like a sub or blackbay
Yeah, so will a lot of people
@@JonathanSanders458 well yall do you, but nothing about this watch justifies this price. People are paying for the "Seiko" name here, nothing more
AI, you people are commenting to a fkn robot.
Haha, no AI involved - only for the text on the thumbnail tbh :)
