- Bold statement here, if you are going to own just one Seiko diver the sbdc061,63,71 models are the way to go. No other Seiko diver packs more in for the price period!!!!
Thanks Homer for sending this one in, and selling to me. I look forward to selling some watches and keeping this one.
Bought this one also. The dial with that shiny bezel is stunning.
This is my grail since Jeff’s videos... and now you just convinced me even more. Cheers.
I got one with a long term goal of a blackbay and mm300, however after getting this watch, its the one. I just stopped shopping for others after wearing it. Absolutely love it.
Only thing i changed was the clasp because the dive extention was useless for me.
just got my sbdc061 today! been looking at it for 2 months and finally pulled the trigger after watching your review on this watch. LOVE IT!!! always love watching your reviews since the square g shock reviews days.
I own the blue dial one, it's the 065. Love it! My first Seiko ever and I'm very happy with it. I definitely agree with the statement "If you're only going to have one Seiko, get this", it really is almost perfect. The 065 comes with both the bracelet and the rubber band but is a little more expensive. Mine is performing at a crazy -1 seconds per day, so I think I got lucky. And so far (4 weeks) I haven't got a single scratch on it, whereas with other watches I'd have a bunch by now, especially on the clasp.
Nice video, keep it up :)
LMAO. like you would know
👍 I bought the SBDC061 and realized I had 6 watches to sell.
Haha, same here buddy!!
I have this exact combination! I bought mine used on ebay on the amazingly soft rubber strap then found the seiko steel bracelet new on ebay . Love it.
Hello Rob... You rarely do such BOLD STATEMENTS and I appreciate it... thank you. It is very helpful for someone who needs some really exprerienced and thoughtful feedback to pull the trigger. Your video and your comments are very satisfying in my opinion and although this is not a SUPER DUPER watch, your comments on this are very strategic. I have already placed my order and I am willing to follow you in most (if not all) of your videos to pick the BOLD statements. Thank you again.
The clasp is budget but the rest of the watch is top shelf for the price. Totally agree that the mm200 series is that one watch. Classy and sporty, quality watch. I think this is a series I'll be collecting many of.
I got mine this week,I can't believe just how off the chart good it actually is,zero alignment issues on mine,every thing is absolutely on point, accuracy is at +6 a day,it's perfect....the only thing I did was whip that bracelet off and put it straight on a NATO,and it wears like my skx , they definitely pulled off some kind of witchcraft making such a large watch look so small on the wrist.
Anyone wanting this in 40 mm stop worrying and just get.it,you honestly won't believe how small it wears.
Had mine for about a month. Hadn't seen this video yet. But loving mine so much.
These models are the most attractive watches I've seen. The thin profile bezel, the angled edges.... I've recently got the model (international code) SPB079J with the blue bezel and silicone strap. All three models are just stunning. Definitely made me a solid Seiko fan.
Absolutely love mine, only had it a couple of month's and really love the way it wears. Feels like what a planet ocean should be.
I just tried this watch and love it, gonna pick it up for sure. But is no Planet Ocean in my book. Love my planet ocean chronograph!
I was able to order this watch today - online- waiting for delivery. Now hard to find. This watch has been a burr in my saddle for the past 1-1/2 years. Such a gorgeous watch. Thank you for your superlative reviews. 🙏
Best Seiko diver, period.
duuuuuuuuude ... i just stumbled upon this model like a week ago and i;ve been obsessing over it. Next paycheck i'm getting one
Totally agree with your bold statement buddy! This one is a keeper
Everything you said about this watch 063 is spot on, I’ve had mine for a month and it is the perfect Seiko, I also have the coral sumo 069 nice watch too but it’s definitely a step down quality wise compared to the baby mm200, the way the blue bezel changes in different light conditions is so interesting it’s just a cool watch. Very close to perfect for me. Great video Rob. Thank you
Found 1 with perfect alignment at the shop. It also runs within COSC specs at +1.5 secs day. Perfect watch if you can find a good one!
I have one too, aligned and 4+ sec for a week!. Such a great watch you can wear anywhere. How good is the blue bezel in real life. No video does it justice.
@@MC-yh9bw That blue bezel is beautiful! Congrats on finding a perfect one! Lucky!
I have the SBDC061 and I concur. It’s the best Seiko diver for the money.
I love this watch, the lume is incredible.
Great video I have this watch in the UK spb077 by far the beat seiko I've ever owned shrinks on the wrist...well built...keeps great time an absolute no brainer for any seiko fan
I love the look of the SBDC061/SBDC063. It has a great movement in the 6R15 too. Great review!
Such a nice watch. I ended up buying the Padi and the Black one. My brother has the MM300 and on pure aesthetics i much prefer my 200’s.
200 all day! Did your Padi come with the rubber or bracelet? I had to buy the bracelet separately
This is exactly the combo I've been researching, band included. I think it's just gorgeous. Thank you for your viewpoint on it. =^)
CB Glass III, same here!
The Big Burrito same here
I have this exact model Rob, and I don't think your bold statement is an overstatement at all! It has replaced many other watches in my selection, and I haven't looked back. I'm down to this and the Marine Master 300m quartz (the black one) - small collection, but it's mighty!
It's a great sweet spot in price and I prefer the 4 o'clock crown to the 3 crown on the SBDC051.
I'm considering between either this and 051 and both are excellent and only Seiko I would get
Rob, because of you, iI bought one ;) I am so very happy with it, thanks for your work
Took delivery of my SPB077J1 this week after finding it in an online store sale, and finding a 20% discount code bringing it down to £559 new! Totally agree with your review, it's an exceptional watch! 👍
My one Seiko diver (so far) is the Shogun (SBDC029). I went crazy buying 5 monsters (Gen 1,2 and 3), mate of mine has a sumo, I'm not keen on the turtles, but I absolutely love the shogun. I think it will be my favourite until I get my grail, the Grand Seiko SBGA231 diver. Love your channel Rob I hope you gain the subs you deserve.
I tried that on in a watch store and man, twas love at first sight!
It's a thing of beauty .Not a Seiko fan but a few watches have been winning me over lately and this is another ,
For me coin edge bezel is the perfect look for a dive watch
As smaller divers is becoming a trend, I’m glad I’m wearing this exact configuration. This is more satisfying than the mm300, and i hope Seiko will make an SLA if this, or better not, cause this satisfy more than enough for my Seiko cravings.
YOU ARE RIGHT - THIS IS THE BEST SEIKO DIVER WATCH - BETTER THAN MM300
I’ve been waiting for this review. Thanks rob. I had a feeling this would be the verdict.
Part of the allure is these are kinda under the radar. You never see them posted up at all. On top of that, they are freaking perfect (Seiko perfect). If that’s a thing.
I totally agree with you.....I also have the SBDC063 and want the 61, so I’ll have rubber strap and a bracelet. This watch for the money cannot be beat.
I just bought the SBDC065/SPB083J1 six weeks ago. I was going to check out some turtle models but then I saw this "Great Blue Hole" -version of this watch. The blue dial is just awesome. You just need to see this watch live and you'll forget what you were looking for at the first place. :) Some of you might say that the BLUE version is overpriced, but I don't think so. Just try it on your wrist! ;)
Beautiful design, nice bracelet, good movement (6R15)... I can't complain.
Timo Kaario agreed buddy!! Wear small on my 7 inch wrist, perfect for me!!
I love this video. I watched this when it came out and purchased the sbdc065 at the time. Everything you said was spot on. This watch has the best of everything. After owning for sometime I agree that if i was going to sell my seiko divers this would be the last one i let go. The bracelet is really phenomenal for the price range. Its better than the sumo and monster. The movement is nicer than the samurai and turtle. The 62mas is a close second. I would say that this bracelet is better then the bracelet on the newer 62mas and willard models with the 6r35 even though those are nice bracelets as well. If you like prospex watches and have reservations about the bracelets being a little jingly then this watch is the answer to that. I absolutely love the 12 oclock marker in the chevron shape over the 62mas marker. I think if i had to pick all the things that i really like about seiko divers and put them in one watch the watch i assembled would look just like this. The only gripe i have is that they should have made more of them in different colorways. Maybe a silver/anthracite dial or even a white dial would have been an awesome addition to these great colors that they already make. It will be interesting to see how the next gen mm200’s hold up to these models. I love my mm300 but if i am being honest the 200 feels better on wrist. Great video and analysis Rob.
Thank you for this awesome review
Just bought this exact watch, I think this is the best diver watch to get under submariner, price/value wise
Thanks for the video, today i finded this watch with 40% off.
Tomorrow i will buy it.
I totally I agree with your take on this watch. I own a Rolex Explorer ii (40mm) black dial and a Speedmaster moon watch (39mm) and recently purchased the Seiko SBDC061. The SBDC061 feels like a high end watch but a great everyday watch.
Hey how do you find the size on the 061? I tried on my friend's Explorer II Polar dial and it's a pretty perfect size for my 6.5 inch wrist though I could go a little bit bigger if I had to..
@@wc8561 Honestly, I have similar wrist size as you and the SBDC061 feels smaller than what it suggests. Except the SBDC061 is a bit thicker than the explorer 2. I wear it with a nato strap and it looks it helps with the size.
Just picked one up from Chrono24. It came with the rubber band as expected but now I’m hunting down 077 bracelet. Glad your video gave me an idea of the look of the 079 with the 077 bracelet. Cheers.
Great vid Bob. I have a rolex, 2 omegas, a black bay and others but i so often take this watch out of the display box and wear it - moreso than any other of my other watches. This is an absolute beaut!!!
Same I have a Rolex sub, and Tudor black bay, the seiko is better looking and wearing, it’s charming.
SBDC051 would be my ideal "one" diver. This lower end version of the 62mas reissue has a more classic look. I do not prefer the round indices on the 61/63 and the lugs are bulky. This watch is nice but I prefer the 62mas reissue.
I bought mine (spdc061) on the rubber watch on purpose, if I do decide to go bracelet will order a model specific Stapcode, haven't had good luck with bade and the rubber strap looks good and comfortable, wears well, I agree if that's the one, it's one worth getting. Have an SBDC 053 as well, both good, like the 63 better, do wear it rotation along with a new model monster, Stowa Type B B 42mm and an Omega Seamaster 300m new model. Right now wearing an Alpinist and bought it over an Hamilton field watch. Have to have sometime but divers. Only watch I think is in the league is my Orient Triton and it's out for repair. Great quality for the money, and is another watch to consider if you only want one.
Random Rob, great review, I can feel your enthusiasm. What’s your opinion on the better watch, the Seiko SBDC063 or a Glycine Combat Sub?
Thanks
I have last years SBDC051 and agree that these two lines are winners from Seiko.
Received mine yesterday - I can confirm everything that Rob says. It is fantastic! Thank you for the video Rob!
I bought one of the 061, and agree that this will kick a lot of divers out of people's collections. The hands don't bother me, although I would have preferred the LE hands. The biggest critic for me is the bracelet clasp, it just doesn't fit with the quality of the rest of the watch. some of it seems high quality like the hinge components, but the rest is just cheesy. Not a problem if you are going to wear it a NATO or other strap (or getting the 063 of course)
That looks awesome Rob. Thank you for sharing this one and for sharing your Seiko passion :)
This watch and the sbdc051 have been on my radar as possible end game divers (if there is such a thing). The lug to lug and total width are my only hang ups. I have even gone as far as researching skx builds using the crystal time case with drilled lugs. But then what dial? I have seen some Alexander James dials that might work. I found your comments comparing the size to an skx very interesting. After all is said and done would I just end up with a franken watch that I’m not entirely happy with just to try and make the lug to lug a few mm shorter? Oh the anguish! But I digress, keep the vids coming. Great stuff Rob!
A well planned and built skx is not the wrong way to go. Take your time, spread the money out, build it with oem Seiko parts, will be great.
I agree with you for the money it's one of the best dive watches Seiko produce, I have a 61. The only watch I prefer is the Tuna but that's a quartz so not for everyone. I'm not sure it's Zaratzu polished though as I also have a Grand Seiko SBGN007G and the polish on it is noticeably better, but I could be wrong. 🙂
I so wish seiko made a diver in 40mm (besides SLA017)
40mm is my sweet spot too Samuel but I wear a Turtle almost every day now, their cases wear SO damn well.
That watch looks great with the bracelet 👌🏻
Looks like it's a very wearable sort of watch. Thanks for posting.
that is a gorgeous watch nice one...
I just ordered a 061 and should get it Tuesday. I can't wait
Are you enjoying it?
Very nice! Great tip on this one.
I like my Shogun, my SBDC051, my SKX, but this really does it for me. Maybe i wanted a semi domed sapphire and that's why i didn't previously go for it. But next time in Japan i'm probably going to pick one up. Nice video.
Nice piece Rob. I get what you're saying. I got the SBDC055 the kinda 62MAS reissue and it is great quality and a keeper.
Looks great on your wrist, but your SPB185 looks even better!
beautiful watch,looks very similiar to my fav the 053
So nice man , im after that PADI 071 version with the blue lume on bracelet , man looks so fking good !
Pretty sweet watch. I'm amazed that previous owners sold it.
I always wrote off Seiko divers based on the specs but boy was I wrong about this SPB case. As you say, it brings it all together and is the one to have.
Hopefully it has a misaligned chapter ring! Wouldn’t be a Seiko without it!
Haha so true. This watch is straight on. It’s a jdm release though so maybe they keep the good stuff?
nope, mine is all jacked up
My sbdc053 has a rough misaligned bezel and slightly to the left chapter ring but not much. Starting to believe in JDM versions
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very nice. Good addition to your collection.
I have a small 6.25"'wrist, this is bigger than I usually go for in a watch but this is one of my favorites in my collection now. It is the nicest diver in this price bracket.
Hi, how does it wear on your 6.25 inches wrist? It seem the lug to lug size is a bit too long...i am having 6.50 inches wrist. Tq
Hey Rob, great review. This “baby” is stunning- the case design and bezel really work. But I have the orange SKX, and Padi and Dawn Grey Turtles which I all like for different reasons. I just got the Borealis Blancpain homage which is close to your SBDC061in a slightly smaller case design. I’ll stick with it but man you have tempted me to add the “baby” to my collection. Peace.
Great video ! I just recieved my sbdc053 and I feel the exact same way!! Haven't taken it off , got it on bracelet from gnomon .. as far as I can tell the only difference is the crown position and the markers
Boom. Been waiting on your review of the sbdc063. 🍻 Well done sir.
The SBDC053 on an OEM bracelet is the pick of this series. Nothing better for the money.
Is yours in good shape? I have bezel issues/chaper ring slightly off
Daniel Boychuk Mine is fine. It is prone to positional variance but as long as it is rested dial down it keeps time within plus 2 seconds a day. Quite amazing. Absolutely love this watch though I wish it was slightly smaller as it wears bigger than its dimensions.
Rob, you rock my watch world brosiah.
Rob, do you know if the bracelet on this MM200 would fit the SLA055?
Cannot agree with you more!Great review! Love this watch! Probably will sell my 38mm Hamilton Khaki automatic to get this watch with Strapcode bracelet to get this watch.
Very nice , yes a keeper ! For sure gonna want to hang onto this one 😏
So glad I watched this! Thanks!
I own sbdc053, this dark blue bezel color looks really similar.
Exactly what I’m looking for. Just wish the blue model came with a stainless steel bracelet rather than the silicone strap.
6R15 - Seiko always under estimated their daily rate accuracy. Mine was +3/-1 daily.
I LOVE the blue bezel version , it's such a good looking watch. Sadly it's just too small for my 8" wrist.
I have the SBDC053 with the bracelet and I love it. That with the SZSC003 and SKX009 and I’m good with Seiko divers or any other divers.
I’m glad to see you have found a watch you reviewed and will keep.
It looks fantastic! Is it worth ordering from places like SeiyaJapan over say Long Island Watch? It’s substantially cheaper from Seiya.
You also spoke highly of the King Turtle and now I have both the King Turtle and the SBDC061. I think I need to get rid of one. Which would you sell off? Thanks.
I have finally seriously found my watch channel. Great job on this Seiko mm200 you're on point with your assessment of this timepiece and I find you to be somewhat normal actually very normal but I said somewhat because there are a lot of creepy crawly freak he's doing watch reviews and it's very refreshing I sincerely mean it when I say I think I found my watch Spot on UA-cam thank you for this
Seiko watches (Alpinist), Cold Steel knives and Subaru cars..how i roll😎 very nice watch and good vidja👍
I hear ya, Honda, Shun and Seiko.
I can't agree you more, I swap my sumo with the blue bezel SPB 079 if I'm not mistaken, to me it's a steal
Nice review, Rob. I just bought another Solar on your recommendation.
Question. Would you sell a Tuna 300 (033) for this watch?
The 063 is stunning, but not sure if I’d be downgrading.
Thought?
Cheers.
Keep the tuna
@@RandomRobReviews Thanks Rob. I value your opinion. I’ll talk myself into having both.
I think strapcode makes a bracelet, i needa check, I've watched this video literally 17 times, Rob and I want that Blue Bezel Sheen lol
I have one and it's even better looking in the steel. Highly recommended, he's right about it being the "One".
Have the 063, endlink fit is good on the strapcode oyster, have 8 Sieko's ,sarb's, sarx's, p/s black alpinist, the 063 wear's like a Dream, my favorite and the bezel in the play of light is stunning!! movement is +2 aday, Hell of a Watch, Enjoy
Scratches? I never do that. I also never flip 💩
Too soon? AK did both flip and scratch. Can’t ban me from my own channel.
Bruce, AKA Mr Scratches 😂
@@stevenuk And Jeff McRebuy, the flipper.
Glad u done a review of this watch,been debated weather to buy a monster or this one,,thanks !
I agree with you about this watch being a nice sweet spot it design and not so bad in price. Its only flaw to me is... the Sumo. Under cuts it by about $400 and does almost all the same things. That extra money gets you sapphire glass and a better clasp for the most part. Just my thoughts.
Better bracelet, finishing, clasp, bezel, sapphire and diashield.
Love it! Thanks for the review.
So glad that this isn’t a special edition or Limited edition, or else, I’d need one lol.
Gnomon sells the SBDC063 on bracelet for people who are interested
If i am pushing a little bit , I would love it with a cyclope , non other less thank you for you review as always
Stunning watch, I'm about to get one. But i doubt it will fit mit 175 mm (6,75-7 inch) wrist
Lol ..Great Vid!!..Definitely a under the radar gem
All day over the sub!
