Congrats @ag6253!
This Seiko checks a lot of boxes. I think this was a very smart move by Seiko as it covers a diver, gmt, all lumed indices are visible, ceramic bezel, sunburst dial, and quality metal bracelet. I’m excited about this piece!
If they improved the bracelet I would be interested
@@lionheartthemuss Improve it how?
Such a calm voice and tone
Stunning green dial! I love the case and how it is machined. The hands are beautiful with the sword shape!
I’ve been saving up for this watch for a few months now, and binging on reviews of it to hold me over in the meantime haha. Your review has been the best one I’ve seen so far! Definitely going to sub to the channel!
I appreciate that! And I do the same with the binge haha
Nice review… I have a different Seiko (the new Alpinist) which has a sunburst green dial as well… I changed out the leather strap to a two-tone after market bracelet and absolutely love it…
Great video and a great watch. Completely agree with your point on Seiko reducing their tolerances at higher price points!
I love green dials on watches. The Hulk is one of my favourite pieces, but this one is also extremely beautiful masterpiece. I feel Seiko is making it self a big name. Design wise it is getting better and better.
grand seikos are so damm awesome. really lookin at getting a gmt.
edit: after watching just realised it was a standard seiko. I thought it was a gs. looks great
This is a very nice looking piece. Something to look at for a future purchase. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love that dark green bezel and dial. Nice review. Can't go wrong with Seiko.
Great review, thank you especially for providing a lot of footage that shows how the watch actually wears!
Thanks for watching!
Superb watch, want. Love the second hand and the green bezel.. it has Willard vibes.
Well done review! I really like this timepiece’s features and colour.
A fantastic watch. Great review. Thank you.
That green is beautiful. Great watch, great video 👍
very peaceful review I love it and thank you. very good content too. I am convinced to buy the watch
Great 'real-world' review. I've always been a firm believer in beauty. Horology shouldn't only be about brand legacy and movement refinement, sometimes a watch is just beautifully functional. I'm sold!
Well said!
such a gorgeous piece. seiko doesn't miss
Seiko is the best! Love to get a hold of this one someday! Love your video! !!
This watch is legit! Thank you for the comprehensive video, the community has been blessed!!
Much appreciated!
I have this exact model bought it in August and it’s become one of my favorite watches ever not just Seiko , I also have the Red Mm300 and while I love it the GMT just wears far better on the daily , it’s hard to explain but it simultaneously wears like a 40mm and a 43mm at the same time , Sturdy solid but not overbearing and so far running +6 a day. Solid choice and great video!
I just bought my exact the same watch but I have a very close look and I can’t not see anywhere to say made in Japan,and I did asked the other gentleman who was showing the same watch and he told me to look on 33 or 34 I had to look again with magnifying glass and it is nothing there,I’m very suspicious it maybe a fake?
One of the best watch.. And your review makes it complete.!! I need this watch now.
You won’t be disappointed!
Useful review. Just about to order one. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Many thanks for the great video! I'm new to watch collecting and it's really amazing to see how passionate small influencers like you are in creating a welcoming, educational environment. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching!
New to your channel, love the reviews, keep em coming
Nice video well made and great notes along the way
Thank you kindly!
Dude I love the way you structure your videos, this seiko GMT is definitely on my list!
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Nice dark green color on the Seiko. Great job on the review.
Glad I found your channel. Great in depth review of a nice watch. I actually prefer the “office” gmt since the date quick set is very useful
I agree!
Awesome review of ‘the Hulk’…like the green dial and bezel…
The seiko is gorgeous, the second hand is super eccentric and eye-catching! Keep up the videos man :)
That seiko is a real beauty just really good looking watch. Need it in my collection 🔥
such a cold watch, thanks for the review
I love your videos, they are very detailed and I always learn something new. Thank you
Glad you like them!
I’m glad I found your channel. Very professional content and format. I love Seiko, I just wish they would taper their bracelets more aggressively. Still, this looks rugged yet refined. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
I like the style of your review. The real world tests are always the best.
Thank you!
The green on these Hulks look great, I hope to pick one up soon. Nice showcase!
I hope so too!
Great review... Currently still in love with my SRP 775 but that SRPK 17 is calling my name!
That would complement your turtle 🐢 nicely!
I have the black version. It had a bad movement and was sent back to Seiko. The replacement watch had a rate of +1 seconds per day, an amplitude of 246, and a beat error of 0.0 in the dial up position. I’m fortunate that I had a timegrapher to spot a defective movement.
Awesome watch! Love the green dial
Great review! Very beautiful watch!
Thanks!
Thorough, objective review; nicely done. Bonus that your video production was tight, and captured gorgeous shots of the watch. Also appreciate your audio mix, with even levels of background music and voice. Question: in your description of the bracelet, you made a keen observation about the top of the middle link being polished (looks great!). Curious if the bracelet links uses screws or a pin and collar system? Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words! This bracelet uses pin and collar system, but the collar gets put inside the middle link so it will stay in place as you tap the pin. Not bad at all.
@@BrokeWatchFanatic Ahhh...good to know; I didn't realize. I love the dimensions and looks of the watch; although I wish Seiko (Grand Seiko, too) would step up their bracelet game. Everyone says it, so it's shocking to me that a company that prides itself on exquisite craftsmanship, e.g. Zaratsu polishing, etc., doesn't do a major overhaul on their bracelets. Screws would be great, particularly for their "upmarket" watches, i.e., Prospex and Grand Seiko, tapered bracelets, and clasps are the biggie. I friggin LOVE some of the GS divers but refuse to buy until the brand gets with the times on their bracelets. But your watch, and the Oris Aquis green dial, are my favorite greens on the market now. Thanks again.
Seiko continues to impress with what they showcase at this price point; great video!
Just bought the. Laczk dark depths version I'm so excited what a stunning watch
Love the Video ! think Seiko did a good Job on this one !! would be a good Watch for someone traveling and doing activity's !😍
Great explanation on the GMT from the beginning!
Thanks for watching!
Very nice watch. Looks seiko step up their quality
The green dial makes this watch have that extra little pop. Very nice.
Thank you for the review and professional presentation. I look forward to more of the same!
Thank you!
I really love that seiko prospex but i just bought my seiko sports. Hopefully ill be having that soon.
Love at first sight! The color, design, and size is perfect for me!
Your voice is incredibly peaceful! Great review! What’s the difference between the 6R54 and the 4R34?! Muchas gracias!
Most notably, the power reserve. 41 hours in the 4R and 72 hours in the 6R.
Love the review!
Wearing the SPB85 on a tropic strap right now. This green is nice. Can't beat the case finishing on these models for the price.
Love this case design.
Great watch, loved the review!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great review. I love the green dial you really can't beat seiko at this price point
Couldn't agree more!
Great review! The SPB381 feels amazing in the hand and on the wrist. You pointed out its only flaw - too hard to read the chapter ring. But that's a nitpick.
Thanks for watching!
Great Review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful watch and awesome explanation thanks 🎉🎄👍✅
Thanks for watching!
You definitely deserve more subs for the quality of videos that you produce!!
I appreciate that!
Such a beautiful Watch! Great video, keep going ☺️
Thank you so much 🤗
Seems like the ideal watch to me. A 22mm bracelet might have been better, but for the money, it seems like a relative bargain of a 'built for lifetime' watch....I'd definitely have the black one and put it on a high quality rubber strap. Lovely smooth review.
Thanks for watching! Can’t go wrong with classic black. 👍
Definitely makes picking one much more difficult!
That green was a truly stunning shade of green. Looks like a great watch. Appreciate your ASMR vibe watch channel - relaxing 😊
Thank you so much 🤗
Great video my man 👏 that’s a pretty cool AP homage!
I appreciate it!
hii! first time watcher and subscriber! Just got into watch collecting this year and am really enjoying these videos!
Glad you like them and welcome aboard!
Your voice is very calming while watching this review.
Oh thank you!
Nice watch,seiko are making some great looking watches at the moment..
Nice, honest review. That Royal Oak looks really nice....
Thanks 👍
Nice review
Btw thank you for opportunity to win the watch
Also what are your thoughts on Lassale watches, I recently picked on up at a thrift shop and through some research found that it was a seiko company as well? would be really cool to see a video on the history of that company. The watch is so thin and sleek, super nice on the wrist!
Never heard of them actually. 🤷
I love this seiko it reminds me of the sarb alpinist og color
My cheap vostok is no where near hitting the 3 day mark lol that must be nice, anyway great review 😄
this is my favorite color variation on this model. even though it's not the limited edition.
GMT’s having a moment right now and I’m here for it. Would love to win it- but great watch to feature.
Looks like the plan is working! 👍✌️
Beautiful timepiece!
Beautiful I love Seiko. This would match my sb121 😍
Very nice review. Liked and following.
Thanks for the sub!
Gorgeous watch
Great video. The premium seiko prospex are awesome. If I win this giveaway I would give it to my friend who just got a job building submarines.
Amazing watch. Amazing channel!
Thank you!
Love the content and the watch. Congrats to whoever wins!
Its a beautiful watch, and I agree, some unnecessary text.
Looks fantastic! Really not into the diver´s extension though
Nobody likes them lol
I bought the black one spb383, have you come across any jubilee bracelets that fit this bad boy?
Nope, but hopefully soon from either uncle Seiko or Strapcode.
@BrokeWatchFanatic Thanks, I've asked both but only had a response from uncle seiko he said he didn't have plans on making a jubilee bracelet
Great video, shame us guys in the UK cannot enter the giveaway 😢
Nice review! I want it
Hey man I was wondering if you could do a review of the Seiko SPB045 with the enamel dial, Ive been thinking of grabbing it but havent seen too much coverage on that watch!
I don’t think I can get my hands on that. None of my friends have it 😕 but maybe down the line.
@@BrokeWatchFanatic that’s okay haha thanks anyways!
Beautiful watch. I want to participate. Count me in 👍🏻🙌
Great review - did I miss the price point for this watch?
Retails for $1500 but you can ask for a discount.
Do you feel that this piece further's Seiko's plan to add more value to the affordable end of the watch market or does it do the opposite since it's at a high price point and the majority of Seiko enthusiasts arn't used to paying $1,500 for a Seiko?
Love the details in the video. Keep it up!
Thanks! That’s a great question. I think it does the opposite. We’ve seen new releases often include the upgraded movements, but at the same time, there are still deals to be had with their lower tier watches like the turtles, samurais, alpinists, and other Seiko 5’s. And they’re still releasing different variations of those. Having said that, I think the
Damn it, I missed this giveaway!
Its a good looking watch. Great showcase. Can you do a Tudor Black Bay review Keep up the good work.
It’s in the works. 😁
Finally someone with my size wrist.
Nice review! What is your wrist size for my reference ?
6.5” to 6.75”
Great design and execution, a watch to keep. I hope seiko will upgrade the movement to 4hz.
We can only hope. They might just stick to their 3hz to make you want to upgrade to their 8L movements. 🤷
Lovely timepiece! Count me in!
Great watch!
I’ve been looking for an affordable seiko diver with a large band. I’ve got a 9” wrist.
You might want to fit a marinemaster clasp to extend the bracelet if need be.
