Let me tell you something. This Seiko watch is a dead accurate and is better than any other brands. I have a Seiko skx007 running for 20 years without any problems. Buying and maintaining a Rolex watch is pain at the ass.
Lol
Now that you mention it that Seiko micro cloth IS pretty neat! I like how it says Seiko on it.
The 62MAS is one of Seiko’s most iconic divers. I was delighted when this model was released. I much prefer the case size and handset of this model to the previous generation SPB051J. Looking forward to the full review! 👍🏻😊
Wow, it’s beautiful and has terrific specifications. And it’s a genuine, made in Japan, Seiko.👍
Been eye-balling it myself for a while it’s a beauty 👍🏻
If you like the looks check out the Bulova 98B 203...it looks very similar to this and came out about 4-5 years ago...yes the Bulova is a budget watch being a quartz and only 100 m water resistance...but a nice alternative.
Just bought a similar spb213 ... Really liking it so far
Beautiful. Simple design that looks so correct to the human eye.
Hy
She's GLORIOUS, man!
I brought mine home just yesterday.
I've named her Anne Hathaway
because she's BEAUTIFUL!
… and I love her. 😉
Awesome watch. I bought the SPB147 and absolutely love it.
I bought myself this watch when it came out, i LOVE it. Seiko really knows what they are doing. I completely agree on the white date window at first i was a bit bothered by it but it works with this watch.
Hi Christian. Great to hear from a fellow happy SPB143 owner! The watch hasn’t left my wrist since I bought it.
Best regards,
Anders
@@TimeAndCrown thats awesome, my boss owns rolex's and he loved my spb143 as well. He says it looks like the sub.
Christian Caicedo I used to own a 14060 Sub. I agree with you boss’ sentiment. I actually kind of get the same feeling on the wrist. Maybe it’s because the Seiko is very classic looking and feeling.
Wow. Just seen the comparison with the Oris too. This is A Seiko I would love to own. Tempting
Absolutely superb review Sir. Nothing missed out. Lovely watch. Best wishes from Scotland 🏴 have a great Christmas
If Tudor and Rolex had a love child this is it.
Rolex and Tudor are related as parent - child.
Wouldn’t that be some sort of incest?
CoffeeForCorporateCounsel that’s seriously funny!!!!
Built quality left aside I agree. It's actually a good watch for the money, but definitely not punching above its weight like people came to expect from Seiko.
Thank you for the review. You're the best watch reviewer by far.
Aloha, from Maui.
Good quality nice watch but (no crown guard and not signed) after all the work they put into the watch? doesn't make any sense.
Thank you! Just like the Tudor BB58 the SPB143 is inspired by vintage watches. This Seiko is inspired by the 62MAS which was Seiko’s first diver. Back then dive watches didn’t have crown guards.
Best regards,
Anders
Very nice, I'm glad to see we are getting more watch for the money, at this price point and in general. Watches are far more expensive than they ought to be, I hope to see a continuous increase in quality all around.
I picked one up a few days ago from an AD in New Jersey. I was surprised I was able to get a discount.
Love that Seiko came out with a hit and still ensure sufficient production. That’s the way it should be :)
6:15 "For once I actually got a Seiko dive watch that aligns" LOL!
😂 It’s a lottery.
rana phagurra There is a lot of problems with Seiko divers with alignment issues. It’s bad quality control.
@@TimeAndCrown No point arguing with people who refuse to accept the truth. I've collected many Seiko divers, and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them had a problem. Even had the best one, the SLA017, with the worst bezel action ever. I won't ever buy another Seiko diver again, sorry.
gmshadowtraders Yes, very bad quality control on Seiko’s part. Or they just don’t care.
people keep buying them, so why should they care if they align up or not. products with defects like that usually end up in the outlet stores.
Got one of these beauties incoming and can't wait to slap it on a black tropic strap 👍
Can you tell me which Tissot was that on your wrist?
It looks totally solid... Congrats.. Very nice video.
I have the limited edition blue dial.
Sapphire doom is nut a nice finishing touch
I’m such a fan of these. I will pick one up some time.
Good luck getting one.62 mas reissue is almost gone.
@@gunnersforlife7796 Then that's my decision made for me 🤷🏽♂️
I went with the orient star diver
Couldnt be happier.. To pair with my triton.
Should be getting mine next week hopefully 😁👏🏽
Very excited!! I see these going up in value quite a bit when they become discontinued..
Nice video. Lovely watch. I have the SPB153J1 which is also a stunning piece and it aligns!
Really like it and I’ve not liked seikos in the past
SEIKO J watches are completely made by robots in Malaysia or elsewhere in Asia with the J simply meaning that the staff that supervises production is Japanese. Thats it. K‘s supervision staff is Malaysian. Even JDM models ( only for the domestic market) are not ‚Made in Japan‘. Only the highest price point SEIKOs and Grand SEIKOs are ( partly hand) made in Japan as non insiders would understand that label.
Good video.
My dislikes of this watch:
- misalignment of bezel pip on many I've seen
- gap between lugs exposing push pins
- 6r35 movement for $1900 AUD ???
- bezel is too big for a vintage 1965 esque diver.
It's a nice watch but that bezel is HUGE. I don't like the bezel. To damn big.
@@olafvidar9315 agree
Also no crown guard. I mean it's a tool watch, you can't leave a crown that big without a guard.
All valid points here. I can also live without the X on the dial.
Excellent review!
2:52 comparing to my Lorier Neptune SIII, I realize this is probably where they got the skin diver case form factor from. Side profile is almost the same
Does the hour hand at 8 o'clock look a bit misaligned? Maybe I am wrong but should it be at the middle of the dial index? Amazing watch anyway :) Enjoy it!
why does alot of people like seiko watches? is it reliable. just want to know what people sees in Seiko watches. Am thinking of buying one
They make everything in house. Quality/Value is normally very good. For the most of the people are the prices the best option, but this new watches are a little bit more expensive than normal. No stupid waitlist as some swiss overpriced watches also..
Seiko is simply the best all round watch company
Quality, reasonable price, attractive watches, history and heritage and they are damn nice watches.
Your voice reminds me of that beach dude from the movie ‘Along came Polly’. Anyways, you cant really go wrong with a Seiko. I’m a long fan of the SKX model. Subs.
I love Seiko's but hate the fact they don't make lume that glows all night. So I use the higher end Luminox's now.
Love it, was very close to buying one for my birthday a couple of days ago, but bought a Hamilton Khaki X Wind instead because my collection is very Diver heavy already. Beautiful watch, Cheers 👍🏻
I don't know why Seiko just can't align the hands right (my SPB143 2022 model included).
This and the willard is seiko’s best release for 2020
I got the spb195j1 today. It really is a good watch. 365/500!!
Great review! Your thoughts…Seiko Spb143 vs Oris Aquis? Thanks
this or the Oris Aquis date 39.5 (SW200)?
Reminds me of the Tudor Pelagos.
my first thoughts. still, its a stunner on the wrist.
Very beautiful watch, but at a price of close to $2K, there are other options out there
The price is much closer to $1100 now. I see several examples on Chrono24.
@@TimeAndCrown good to know. But still, even for $1K, for me I might go for longines hydroconquest, it’s around $700 to $900 now.
A TAG is less than that
Great review.... Waiting for my AD to get the new ones.... Then i will find out which one I'm having.
All four models are very nice so I’m sure you will find a favourite.
Best regards,
Anders
It is stunning.
I have been eyeing this model but now leaning toward the SPB147 with the gilt dial
Hi Kevin. I was considering that one as well.
Best regards,
Anders
clean design, really nice piece
Nice first look video!
Can't wait for your full review, and please compare it with oris divers 65 when you do. Been debating myself to cop between those two.
Yuck. Oris 65 diver..
Beautiful watch would love to have one, but I don’t have $1200 right now. Oh well.
Congrats on your purchase, it’s a fantastic watch. In your opinion, This or the Doxa sub 200 ?? I’ve see you have both, I’d be interested to have your thoughts on the subject ! Cheers
I like siekio dials
I bought new Shikoku watch 2 years ago solar and it died. Took it to repair shop can’t fix it
Finally a seiko with aspirations of being on the quality level of rolex
The only downside is the movement (which is too low quality for this watch)
What also could be improved is having better fitting end-links. There is a gap towards the lugs,
Movement aint that bad for the price. There is the sla017 and the sla037 with a better movement but like 5-6 times the price lol but you are right about the endlinks.
You won’t find a better Seiko movement without paying 5x as much
Why "finally" for this watch?
Super lækkert Seiko, har ventet på at de lavede en billigere version af deres 62mas👍 Er spændt på at høre din mening om uret efter du har brugt det lidt
I love this so much but the price is so out of my realm of possibility for the next year at the very least :( what might be a good quality vintage inspired dive watch under $500?
I have heard a lot of positives about the SRPC 39 “blue baby turtle”. The can be had under $500.
Best regards,
Anders
Watch On amazing I’ll look into it immediately thanks for your advice! Cheers
If you are willing to look at watches outside of Seiko, have a look at the Glycine Combat Sub. Saphire, screw down crown, 200m water resist, ETA2824 or Sellita SW200 depending on the year model, but basically the same Swiss movement. It's modified and some say are factory regulated. A lot of watch for the money and can be picked up well under $500 USD.
@@silverghost4206 the Glycine have a better movement. Nothing against Orient, they are great value for money too.
@@silverghost4206 it does, yes. It's a renamed Sellita SW200-1, modified rotor and bearing and regulated. It's the same movement used in Oris, Baume and Mercier, and Sinn among many others. Some of these watches are well over $3000. It's a high beat (28,800) Swiss movement. Because it's a commonly used Swiss movement, come servicing time you won't have an issue finding someone to work on it or sourcing parts. Don't get me wrong, Orient are a well made and reliable watch and also awesome bang for buck! A great suggestion for anyone looking for an excellent value for money watch. With Seiko pricing themselves ever higher, I think Orient is starting to take their crown for best quality for the money in the Japanese watch market.
For the money, I would like to have seen a better, closer, fit between the end links, case and lugs. Something more like that of my Longines Hydroconquest, would have been nice to see. I actually love the dials, markers and hands of these 62MAS recreations, which I've admired since seeing the less affordable SLA017 coming out.
These ones piqued my interest when I heard and saw renders prior to release. But yet again, Seiko proves that, when they charge as much money for their watches as the Swiss, you are probably better off just buying something Swiss.
(BTW: There is no point in any Seiko, spunk bucket, fanboys coming at me about my Hydroconquest. I know what it's shortcomings are. They are few. I also know from experience that the engineering tolerances in the end link to watch case and lug, fitment, are impressive and I was specifically talking about that: low tolerance, precision engineering. An area where, even the lower tier, Swiss Swatch group companies excel and one in which Seiko, unfortunately, is still lagging far behind in their maximisation of profit vs expenditure on design, machining and quality control. I've had my watch fan, Seiko fanboy, puberty period. It's over. Now I can see things for how they truly are).
Nahh
😂
@@luqmans7 That's weird. I wouldn't like to see you after you read something actually funny as you would probably, quite literally, carc it, if you're anything like the little emoticon you decided to post, after reading that.
What was it you found so side-splittingly funny, you were in tears? 'My Hydroconquest endlinks fit amazingly well'? 'Seiko quality is going downhill while their prices go up'? Or, the general sentiment that the daft little 'I like Seiko', 'I like divers' newbs are a bunch of little twats.
I wouldnt go as far to say the bezel action is up there with Rolex. It is good but no where near as nice as Tudor or Rolex. Nice watch though.
So beautiful watch I like that kind of watch coz it's durable
Beautiful watch.
Beautiful watch, but I think they should have put the Dolphin logo on the back case...
Awesome 😎 Seiko diver 👍🏻💯
Nice modern dial but case needs more work to be attractive (h-shape lug)
No crown guard ? I thought those were important for dive watches.
It's sort of an homage to Seiko's very first dive-watch, the 62 MAS. The lack of crown-guards is pretty typical for an old school diver, so I guess you could call it a retro-design-choice. Lots of early divers (late 50s/early 60s) didn't have crown-guards, either.
Also let's face it; 1 - 99.9% of owners of these watches will never even get them wet and 2 - If you've gotten to the point where you crown is damaged by something, you've probably also lost your hand in the process and the lack of crown guards is the last thing you're worrying about.
Stunning!!
That’s a pretty watch, I like it!
Very very nice,
if it had crown guards it would be better,,
Imho...
It's a very nice looking watch and I was interested, until I looked at the accuracy. +25/-15 seconds per day just isn't good enough, I think unless they can match a the best of Swiss watches at 2-5 seconds per day they should stick to solar quartz or the spring drive. If I am gaining or losing 25 seconds per day then this useless as a timekeeping device because I only update my (eco-drive) watch every six months as the clocks change. By that point I am 77 hours out with this watch lol.
I agree ! I think at this price point that level of accuracy is no longer acceptable.
@The Truth For what it’s worth, I have put 4 watches with 6R35s (2 SPB143 and 2 SPB151) through the timegrapher and only one was +7 seconds. The other 3 range from +10 to +20. I selected one of each model with the lowest variance, bought them, got them regulated and they are now running around +5. If you get one that is accurate out of the box, that’s really just luck.
Hvor kan jeg købe det ur henne? Og hvad koster det?
Looks like the tudor pelagos
That is a gorgeous watch!
Try it on an Uncle Seiko waffle strap for the 1960's look. Cheers.
I love the watch, good review, however you stated the bezel is as good as Rolex, and in the very next sentence mention that Seiko has QC issues and the bezels don’t align sometimes. For that very reason Seiko is not even in the same realm as Rolex, and I’m and owner and fan of both brands.
Hi Alex. Thanks for watching. I state that the bezel action - clicks and sound - is not far from Rolex quality. I do not state that Seiko bezel action generally is on the same level as Rolex. I also also own both brands.
Best regards,
Anders
Watch On fair enough. I didn’t mean to pick apart the review, I’m a fan! I see your point. If Seiko would only fix these small QC issues, I think their value and image could be on par with a company like Sinn, which I feel most watch fans would view as a step above Seiko, but they could be on that level.
@@alex_m_edc no, not really. Sinn also has quirks. The clasp on the 104 is trash. The bracelet needs an upgrade and they don't produce their own movements like e.g. Seiko. The 104 case is also somewhat very basic and all polished. You want to go beyond a Seiko Prospex you move up to Grand Seiko. Also, even Rolex Submariners have QC issues. Watch Jody's video of a two toned Submariner that costs over $50k. It has a misaligned bezel insert and rehaut. No watch is perfect but I do acknowledge that Seiko could do a better job on their QC.
Where did you buy the watch? Thank you.
Hi Diego. I got it from a dealer on Chrono24.
Best regards,
Anders
Getting my first watch soon, cant decide between this and the nomos club campus
Great options. They are two very nice options for a first watch. I would probably go for the Nomos as the first one. It’s more versatile. Then your second watch can be a diver. Happy hunting.
Best regards,
Anders
Get the orient star diver. Or orient triton.
I orderd the nomos club campus with display back and steal bracelet
@@gameonegreg Good choice.. Out of that an the seiko. Are you happy with the watch?. Do you love it...
fantastic seiko!!!!!!!
Too small for dive visibility. 45mm dial needed. Underwater 0mm is difficult to read quickly and precisely. Pretty though.
Pretty much nobody buys a dive watch to use whilst diving.
The only 65mas replica I really liked from Seiko was the SLA037J1 with that smaller bezel and boxed date window. Unfortunately that one costs more than 6000 Euro's and was limited. Luckily there are some pretty good replica's to buy with an aligned bezel and Seiko inside. This one is nice but not nice enough for this price with the alignment issues I hear other people have.
OK you know watches. I am having a hard time finding a watch to meet what I want. Maybe you can help. I am looking for the following:
1. A chronograph watch
2. 44mm bezel or bigger since I am a big man so 42 or less looks likes a women's watch on me.
3. Tritium capsules so I always can see the watch, not just when the paint is charged with light.
4. the ability to add NATO band, some case shapes don't allow for NATO straps
5. Sapphire crystal glass
6. Unidirectional or clockwise bezel movement, just not stationary.
7. Under $900 American if possible.
8. Decent company, not some off brand but maybe a Seiko. I have had there watches, good quality.
It seems like I will find most things I want but not all and it SUCKS! :D Any ideas and I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Ball Watches from Chrono 24 maybe wil tickle your fancy
Any actual scuba dive experience with it ??
Only desk diving. It does a great job at the office.
Beautiful. How is the quality of the bracelet and clasp?
Some of the very best I have experienced from Seiko. They have made some very good upgrades.
I'm sticking to my trusty SKX :)
Agree think that Seiko has just pushed the prices up too much now. It was better when they were great value for money, now there are so many other watches to chose in that Seiko Prospex SPB143 pricepoint
How big is this guys wrist I need the measurement
Hi Arthur. As I state in the video 17,5-18 cm in wrist size.
Best regards,
Anders
Make it a gmt at 39mm and you got a deal
Had the choice of getting this watch but went for an Adina instead. Saved me $700. Also I liked the fact that Adina has the numeral face. It’s a lot easier to to check your dive time at 300 meters when you don’t have to think about what time it is.
Are you a fruitcake.At 300 meters you are dead.
Lovely
nice watch.
You don’t mention the movement? Why?
Hi Chris. I do at the end of the video. I test the movement, lume etc. in the full review here:
ua-cam.com/video/szP0ta9xDTw/v-deo.html
Best regards,
Anders
Nice watch whats the bezel.
Hi Nenad. It’s aluminium but it’s hardened with Seiko’s diashield coating.
Best regards,
Anders
That watch is not as good as a Submariner but it is not trying to be as good. It clearly is on par with many Swiss watches and excellent value.
What do you mean by 120 clicks?
It's only time, my wacth has GPS, HRM, BO2, etc etc.
arnold val lol
Really nice :)
How long the gona produce this watch.
Seiko has not mentioned any limitations.
@@TimeAndCrown ow oke i buy mm200 4 months ago and now i am saving for a car when i have the car i will buy this watch.
Why do Seiko boxes look so cheap??? Seiko, spend $10 on a box and really make this watch package amazing.
because most seiko customers don't care about the box, you throw it in your closet and forget about it. Then you size the watch, strap it on your wrist and take it diving...cheers
Nice watch but i think it looks way to heavy and to large for your thin wrist.
this one looks dull compared to the limited blue version
@Hugh Mungus spb149j1
Less box .more watch..all watch
6R35 at this price is simply unforgivable.
Nice watch for sure, but dude, the rubber strap consts $139 plus tax, dang I can buy a brand new Orient Ray III with that. We peasants always looking for the best deals out there to cure our watch fetishes.
is a watch worth more than 1k usd?
Yes, if you put value on heritage, history, craftsmanship and build quality. If not just buy a $10 Casio.
