He did a video that touched on that a bit. I think they used to sell apparel but the space that inventory occupies in the warehouse costs money, and doesn’t bring in nearly as much as higher dollar smaller items like watches. But yeah I think it would be nice to offer them too.
The turtle always deserves a spot on these lists. Like you said, I've always said the turtle is the closest thing you can get to an SKX nowadays spec-wise.
Seiko makes it really hard to build a moderate sized lineup with a diversity of brands. They offer something in every category that I'd wear in a heartbeat
Proud to have bought the number one from you guys this year, along with your J style bracelet for it. The Turtle is fantastic and your bracelet makes it very dressy.
The whole top 10 are great, but that top 5 would mike a killer watch collection all on it's own. I got the 38mm solar diver last year from Long Island and this year I got the Long Island Bracelet for it. Let's go!
I can personally vouch for the Seiko SNJ025 “Arnie”. I bought mine from Marc a few years ago and it is still killing it! The H851 movement is SOOO cool. I wish they would make more colorways with that movement. Highly recommend!
Marc, you make me want to love Seiko. I love your videos, your knowledge and most of all your continued love and excitement for the industry after being in it for so long. Maybe you could do a video about how you cycle out watches from your personal collection. Actually, a video about your entire personal collection would be awesome! Thank you for doing these videos. ❤✌️
everything you said about the turtle is right...the skx crew moved up to the turtle as did the die hard modding community. i own one ,the 2019 save the ocean with the shark fin dial....a very " marc" shade of blue!
Think about that. Walk down the street, tap someone on the shoulder, as them if they know Islander. San Martin. Baltic. Pagani. Brew. Hemel. . . . . They will not. Ask them if they know Seiko? I rest my case!
I got my Seiko "Arnie" a couple of weeks ago on your Seiko Saturday sale and it fantastic! Thanks Marc!
Nice!!!! Shhhhhhhh, nice to be on the SMS deals!
Marc Marc Marc......why oh why won't you produce those lovely LIW hoodies? I mean its winter now. Even here in Florida they'd sell like hotcakes!!!

I just had these made for my team. They are bulky, expensive and not worth it for sale. To stock colors and sizes is crazy for us.
Hey Mark, How about showing the the top 5 Long Island Watch sellers?
Islander, Islander, Islander, Islander, Islander (and probably down to #15 or so)
Seiko SRPE93 turtle is the legend!
Seems so!

yup!
That Seiko Presage in blue is a safe purchase 👌🏼👌🏼
sure is

Glad to hear that!
Cocktail Time bracelet, yes please! I have two of your other bracelets, and they're great.
thanks!
I always find these top sellers videos from you to be fascinating. I also did not know about the Arnie watch display issue, which has been fixed.
Thanks for checking it out.
I did my part for sales this year-an SRPE93, an SRPK17, and an SNE593
Beauties!
The whole top 10 are great, but that top 5 would mike a killer watch collection all on it's own. I got the 38mm solar diver last year from Long Island and this year I got the Long Island Bracelet for it. Let's go!
Yeah, just maybe some variants with color on the divers.

Awesome, thank you.
The one I’m considering is the sne593 42mm blue solar diver on silicone strap
I have one (purchased from Marc this year) on one of his “J” style bracelets. It’s a real “looker”.
That's sweet! Gotta get our bracelet.
It's always interesting to me when you share a bit of sale data. Currently I own a skx009 and sbdc101
Sweet, thank you!

I really appreciate your kind words. That would be a LONG video :)
Good to see the dress watches still getting some love
I agree with your there.
Seiko Turtle works much better with a slimmer non wavy lines strap. Makes the watch look much neater on the wrist.
I was one of the 290 sales this year. I have it on one of Marc’s black 22mm FKM waffle straps.
@
I ordered mine directly from Japan. I also order official Seiko straps from Japan. Much easier to get than in Europe.
I agree, but at least they stick to their "Pro-Specs" guns by putting it on an accordion strap which is better for diving.
Waffle strap count
any JDM in your shop?
All timeless classics. I sure wish the Field GMT in white was not just a JDM. Thanks Marc!
Ditto!
I would buy a standard turtle if I wasn’t saving
Hopefully saving for a watch!
interesting to see the numbers, would you do a top 5/10 sellers for 2024 across your whole range? and, is it bracelets for Duros? =)
top 5 or 10 by quantity would be a mix of Islander watches and probably bracelets. Some bracelets we churn several hundred per year.
Would love it if you produced a bracelet for the OG cocktail time, the SARB065!
noted!
Please make a video on that Super Metric. Love the look of that watch in the Electric Blue.
I will

Oh, yes, that's a fave for sure!
Marc, did you say you have a bracelet for the Seiko SSK023? if so, info please so I can buy. Many thanks!
BRAC-100 and 101
Good video
Not great? Ok, I'll take it!
What about the seiko présage classics series spb453j1
They'll never sell as many $700 watches as they do $300 watches.
Would buy a cocktail time bracelet from you in a heartbeat. Not a fan of the one that it came on. Fingers crossed 🤞
The smaller and cheaper ones got top 5... who would have thought :)
Cheaper? Not really, but I guess in the overall scheme they might be.
Turtle, any size 🏁
:) Mini's never really cut it here
Make sure to straighten the Daytona-looking clock on the wall behind you, it's off kilter by about 5 degrees. 🤓
LOL. It's a Bulova Lunar Pilot clock!
I was one of those that bought the blue Pressage Cocktail Time. Beautiful watch.
nice watch!!! Lovely since day one.
I have that exact presage model. Beautiful watch, but the strap was absolutely rubbish.
Agreed.
This isn't confusing At all right?
I certainly bounce around! Too much coffee
Either I have great taste or no imagination because I own 3 of the Top 5.🤦🏻
LOL. It makes sense
Thank you!
welcome!
Marc seriously, considering whats on the market in terms of specification to price ratio, cant understand how thy sell any watches at all....
Ah there he is, the 'muh specs' guy
Think about that. Walk down the street, tap someone on the shoulder, as them if they know Islander. San Martin. Baltic. Pagani. Brew. Hemel. . . . . They will not. Ask them if they know Seiko?
I rest my case!
I love seiko but theyre not the most accurate but theyre ok.
The solar's are accurate, though?
yuck
Blah, blah , blah boring
Okay, thanks the view anyway! And the comment!
I try to help where I can
First?
You sure are!
Please do a giveaway to one of your subscribers from one of your collab watches Marc! 😎🏙️⌚️
