Confessions of a Seiko collector: Is this year's collection an upgrade?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2024
- This is my second Seiko Collection show! I thought it would be great to see how the collection differs from last year and whether the new Seiko watches that have replaced some, have made the collection stronger or weaker?
Let's get into it!

The wife's thoughts are brilliant. I am absolutely loving your channel. Bravo, sir 🎉
" Citizen, They aint a Seiko." True, the dials line up...😂😂 So, advice, Seiko Arnie or a Mudmaster GG-B100?
Take a look at mine Stevie B! Never had a misaligned anything
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR You lucky boy Russ!
Thanks for the shoutout Russ!! I should do a Seiko collection video but if I did it would be over 2 hours long there are so many!
2 hours long? Ill make pop corn!
"Looks like a jacuzzi." LOL!!
I totally agree about Seiko being the best and my favorite brand. BUT!! Citizen made a watch that for me is the best of the best. I fell in love with it when I was a kid and still in love after years owning it. It is the Promaster Aqualand (JP2000-08E) and you SHOULD make a video review about that MASTERPIECE! 😂🎉🤪💪✌️🖐️
I could listen to just 3 hours of the wife’s thoughts on your watches. That’s always my favorite part.
+1
I've really slowed down buying Seiko's lately, but I do have some absolute stalwart Seikos in the collection that will never leave. Surprised about the dumping of the Alpinist as it's one of my favourites, but each to their own, right 😉. Another great video MWC
Yeah the Alpinist is awesome.
moved my Alpinist on, the Green & Gold was too Christmassy and I had finished twiddling with the winder
I was in cash converters the other week and spotted an SPB077 in the cabinet priced £450. Took a close look and it was mint. Looks unworn. Not even the usual marks on the clasp, boxed with paperwork. I asked if there was any flexibility in the price. The girl went away, came back with £400. I said £350 sounds better, so she goes away again, comes back and says YES 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 I'm wearing it as I write. A nos £1000 watch for almost a third the retail price. It's my new fave. There's just something about Seiko divers isn't there.
Thumbs up 👍🏽 for the Samurai as well. Been on my wrist for over a year now. The movement, that dial, the feel of the bezel…it’s my favorite daily watch.
Upgraded to the Strapcode Hexad which looks like it was made for the angular Samurai. Killer watch!
I love Seiko watches since my old man bought one for himself new in 1969. That thing was stunning and ran for decades. Anyway Seiko would do well to do a 60’s -70’s reissue line and especially the Pogue. I’d buy that watch in a heartbeat, because I love the story it brings. You’ve chosen your Seiko collection … wisely.
Yeh, the samurai is a definite love story! I have it for more than 3 years yet I still look at it admiringly when I wear it ☺️. The dial, case shape and finishing is sooooo interesting!
Get yourself a vintage Bullhead. Not selling you mine, tho.
Lucky you great looking watch 👍
I just got into watches about a year ago and many of these watches are on my list. Love your passion!
I have the green sumo SPB103J1 and the PADI Sumo SPB181J1. I swamped the bracelets out for two strapcodes and IMO they look stunning, get lots of compliments. Great video 👍
I've got the SBTR027 and it's amazing. Loving the blue strap on yours, might have to look into getting one for myself now
What a great collection! I must say I am not a big fan of Seiko myself mostly because of the case sizes and thicknesses they put out these days. But I really like what you have here. Amazing. Good mix of performance and visual attractiveness. Fantastic.
Great video as always. Love to see another fan of Haveston straps!
I've said it before and echoing your thoughts, those JDM quartz chronographs are incredible for the money. I have the 013 black dial, and am strongly considering adding the 009 silver dial. Very nice collection, Russ.
Bought my Land Shark because of you. Great watch. Love Seiko. Cheers
Great collection Russ and I have to thank you for starting my way in collecting Seiko's. That Pogue is a beautiful watch but my next watch I want is a Captain Willard skb 237j1.
👍👏Great video. Love my SRPG31 & SRPD93. Working on a 41mm Samurai case/ Field dial Mod build.
Glad to see you have the landshark still. Thanks for sharing your Seiko collection with us. I always love hearing what the wife says. It's truly one of the funniest parts of your show. Thanks again.
I have the SRPK17 and I’m in love with the watch!
Great video 👌🏽
Equals Jacuzzi because; 1) The case is Jacuzzi shaped and 2) the busy chapter ring of the dial looks like all the jets going off ... there I said it ... new nickname for the Seiko 5 Sport - the 'Jacuzzi' ... or 'watchtub' (a play on hot tub) since I believe the Jacuzzi name is trademarked.
Yep!!!;)
❤❤Citizen ❤❤ nice to see ur still giving them a chance .... the Japanese trio of Seiko Citizen and Casio take up most of my collection love em
The one I like the most is that simple quartz chrono with the purple dial! For the open space: a nice more sporty Presage maybe? Nice show!
I have that Seiko dark samuari save the ocean for a while, absolutely love it...but just seeing those lovely end-links for the first time, looks good on the Samuari. I disagree its very blue. The dial does not shiny blue till it hits lots of light, stunning
The 38.5 SNE Diver Collection and the Panda Seitona are my most recent Seiko editions and I love them. If you’re talking about full blow Rolex “style” from a reputable brand non homage you can’t beat them.
Love the collection! Makes me smile that I own a good few of those, my two personal favourites that I own are the seitona (69 version not go large) and the Arnie.. absolute quality wstches
Love the collection, there are a few in your seiko collection I am eager to add. Capt willard, land shark and Arnie are must haves for me.
Great collection. I'm wearing my snkl23j1 today. Hopefully my 4th and my wife's 1st Seiko will be delivered today. We ordered the 55th anniversary seiko 5 peanuts watches. The pilot style for her and the diver style for me.
I did the same 2 years ago and sold my SARB033 and SARB017. Was not wearing them enough as well. I really tried to keep them in the collection especially the Alpinist. I even bought it the 2 tone bracelet but it made the lug to lug too long. Love your collection, missed out on the SKX013.
That 55th Anniversary model is now my third most worn watch, behind my Seiko SRPJ91 (another retro inspired revival model) and my Casio AE1200, love it. I’m not a sporty fellow, but the style just kills. Fantastic collection!
Hi Mr. MWC, another great video ! 👏👏 I love your channel !! From the thousand’s of watch review channels on UA-cam, yours has become my number 1, and favorite to date !
Not only are you knowledgeable but also extremely entertaining, especially when you invite Mr. Pagani…. 😂😂😂.
Love your wife’s commentaries too, sounds like my wife 😂😂
We also have the same love for Seiko, and Casio, plus I’m a big fan of Citizen, and you’re not but I’m sure you’ll come around eventually.
Waiting with great anticipation for your next video !
From Canada, thank you a million, wishing you only the best personally, and continued success for your channel!
I'm pleased that you like your PADI mini Turtle, I love mine, I wear it on either a Barton Elite silicone pale brown strap or a Strapcode jubilee.
SKX and Miniturtle rock! Seiko Arnie is cool, but it really looks like a giant stopwatch :D
SNJ025, bloody love it.
So unique with it’s chunky quirky eighties looks!
Compliments on a fine collection there MWC. I have liked Seiko ever since seeing Roger Moore in Moonraker wearing one as a kid at Christmas one year. My Seiko is an SRPG29, have had it a couple of years or so and I must say out of all my watches this is my go to one, there aren’t many days when I’m not wearing it. I love the size, it’s not flashy, auto, 100m, great lume etc - it’s also the backup watch that I always take with me on holiday. It’s fantastic.
The SKX013 is such a great simple little watch. I totally love it for it for it's simplicity and the good quality. The fact that it is a true divers watch also adds to that!
Just bought the SBP207J1. love it and very accurate +2 seconds a day max
Some absolute corkers there buddy love the flighty and the Arnie and the skx is pure class.
I like the Green Willard the best too. I bought mine used on eBay for around $700 USD a little over a year ago. Very cool watch.
New subscriber here! Been watching for hours love your content and production 😂 Also happy you uploaded a new video whilst watching your past vids. Peace!
I like my seikos, prospex monster, kinetic diver, and a landshark!, my favourite. Also have an mtm, luminox, Gshock, and a proper sub date. Great channel.
I have 5 Seikos in my collection . 1 Presage Cocktail time, 1 Hulk , 1 Sumo Pepsi, 2 Samurai`s ( Great white shark and Orange Samurai). My Grat white Shark goes in the ocean when snorkeling/ diving as I live in Florida. I will never give up my Seiko`s ! Good move getting rid of the Alpinist I hate that watch.🍻
So cool Seiko sent you a 55th Sports to keep, another reason to love them.
I can say the new SJE is a true stunna!
Russell i am definately still a huge fan of your channel, keep up the good work!
We waiting a Citizen collection!You need to buy more Citizens!!! 😂😂😂
Yeep we do
Agree
More orient
I want to see the Challenge Diver.
The name Citizen is kinda cringe for a watch company.
What a great Seiko selection! I even blew the dust off my much neglected Seiko SKX and gave it a bit of wrist time in tribute!
Seiko are such an important watch brand so it’s no wonder they are so loved by us watch enthusiasts.
Awesome show as always MWC 👏👏👏👏
Superb Gareth! I know we gotta embraced the old ones cos in reality what we are chasing after are the watches we already have but forgot about!!!!!
The only watch I have 😅
« My Retro Watches … the best place to learn a thing … or five » 😂
Thanks for sharing your collection and for the reference to My Retro Watches. I find it hypnotizing to watch someone restore old watches and see them come to life. I’m in « awe » of these people who have the talent and know how to do that 🙌🏼😌
Great presentation 😂💪🏼✌🏻Seiko has the greatest variety. You have them. Get going 🚀
The Seiko I’ve had my eyes on is the Presage SPB359J. It’s a tribute to the Laurel which was Seiko and Japan’s first wristwatch made in 1913.
Very nice!!! True to the original but dressy!
Hi curly G. Love the channel, I am a self contest watch junky (Seiko is also my number 1 spring drive frenzy just now.) but am loving Martha's Man even more. Wish I played tennis! All the best. 🤩
That space is crying out for an SLA model - something just a bit slicker and higher end - to give the full range of Seiko madness. It’s a great collection you have here - and it’s frightening to think you could fill another 2 boxes easily with classics from Seiko you haven’t got. What a brand!
Nice collection there…I own the SKX009 bought it back on 2017 and the SNA411 this year.
Great collection! You should review the Seiko SSC911, Great Chronograph
What are the odds?! I am watching this video on my desktop. I have youtube on my TV, just playing randomly for a few hours. When the Urban Gentry's Seiko is reviewed I looked over at my TV and the Urban Gentry is on doing a wrist check with this on! 😯
Get the Seiko “Seitona” panda. Well if you like it lol. Great watch. I love it. I’d love to see what strap you would put on it too.
I’ve never bought a watch back that I’ve sold but I’m seriously tempted to get another Arnie. I’ve owned a lot of Seiko’s over the years and that has to be one of the best.
Your wife's comments are GOLD.
I was laughing. Thanks brother
Great collection, never get rid of the "Landshark"!
My blue Land shark (I think the blue one is actually known by a different name which I can't remember!) Is my daily beater. I think it must be about 10 to 15 years old now. The aluminium bezel insert got a little scratched up so I bought a ceramic bezel insert to replace it in the same blue colour and HELLO......suddenly it's raised it's game and is a better looker than it ever was. Still a great watch and I love the old 5 applied logo. Great Channel mate, always a good watch.........err to watch.
I’m new to Seiko. Bought a square blue faced Recraft. Had to ditch the bracelet , couldn’t get it to fit right. I love it. I’m thinking my next one will be the Alpinist.
Another good video, thank you pal
Great collection! Have you seen or tried the SNE 573? I wear mine almost every day.
I have the same quartz chronograph jdm model and It's a good looking watch, I recommend this affordable seiko, no regrets at all
Seiko solar GMT PROSPEX SBPK001 - best Seiko I own I love it!
Great video Russel, very funny😂 I’m surprised the PROSPEX 'Laurel' 1/100th Second Speedtimer Solar Chronograph isn’t in your collection
Very nice collection of Seiko's!
Very good and funny (with the wife’s comments) - I’ve become a Seiko fan as well.
Thank you my friend!
Turtle and Sharks are awesome!. Great collection!
I’m really regretting not pulling the trigger on the SKX013 when it was under $200
I love my Samurai Russ, I also have two Land Turtles, I think you should add one to your collection mate. Loving your good lady’s reactions as always.
what a Mada review again. i think i am Seiko addict for Many Years too. your collection IS great and WE have few in common... i think i am definitely as mad as you are!!! 😂😂😂
Great collection... can't believe you sold the SARB017 though... an absolutely beautiful watch and classic now.
Mighty Fine collection there Sir. But, Russ, you need a tuna at some point mate ;). I'm currently wearing my S23635J1 and I love it. Speaking of the Pogue my Auntie had been having a bit of a tidy out and asked me if I wanted two watches she had found that once belonged to my Uncle, I nearly fell over when she presented me with a Seiko 6139-6002 & a Seiko 6117-6400, I couldn’t believe I had the Pogue in my hands. Both watches need some serious attention and I've got a few options re them being looked at so we'll see what happens.
It’s a shame the wife isn’t a fan of the Arnie-Digi, but happy to hear she had some good words on the Samurai. I also have it on a CWR strap, love the integrated look. Looks amazing on a Hexad Miltat, too! Much chunkier than the OEM oyster, but it just looks so right.
I do agree this year is better. I love Seiko too. I am new to watches and have one automatic and will probably get a Seiko quartz to add to my collection. What’s your opinion on Seiko quartz watches?
My first automatic watch was the siko 5 gmt I bought it right before the price reduction other than that An amazing watch when I picked up the swatch blancpain. I understood why it's so recommended for the price
Brother I swear to God I love your Channel. The comedy is there. I love the way you tell the story. I especially love your wife's thoughts 😅😅. You're a funny guy and it comes across on camera to Perfection. I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and look forward to more
The first hit that began my descent into automatic watch madness was the turtle version of your save the ocean Samurai - got it in 2018 if I remember correctly. That blue dial is absolutely stunning in sunlight - beautiful watch.
Just looked it up - it’s the SRPC91; got it in October of 2018. A year later got an SRPD09 to go with it - same gradiated blue face but in a black Samurai case.
If trying out Citizens, you should try out the new Citizen Tsuki-yomi atomic watch. It looks to be great!
Love your style 🤓
Glad to see that you also have the SBTR027 😊 That is an absolutely well-built and beautiful watch which anyone can get below $120.
You have an amazing Seiko collection 👌

🎶these are a few of my favourite things 🎶
One new Seiko I would love to see you review is the new Alpinist GMT SPB379. That watch is gorgeous.
Love this channel
I know what you mean with the compass bezel Alpinists. I have two and I just can't gel with them, the SPB209J1 and the SPB355J1. I bought the 1959 Alpinist SPB245J1 and it just hits the spot for a field watch compared to the other two. I don't wear the others at all because they just feel too 'dressy'.
Have to say, never having been a big Seiko fanboy cause I share your wife's thoughts on some of these, BUT I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THAT BLUE SAMURAI - want it 🩵 Also love the Landshark, even better than the Flighty. Seems you need a box of CWCs as well 😁👍 Love your shows mate!
Love the Seikos dude, I’m definitely a fan I have 4 of yours in my collection too! I have to say the favourite in mine is my ninja turtle
Seiko spb383…bought it and i love it
Add the Seiko 5 Military Automatic blue Nylon Strap SNK807K2. For me makes a great watch to wear for the summer. The strap do softens up wearing it for a week 🙂. Absolutely loving this watch. I’m now looking at a seiko watch that’s looks close to a Rolex 🙂
Can’t wait to see the Tudor Collection :) 😊
Slower growth
The trouble is i love my Seiko Tuna (1000m) so much i really don't think any other seiko diver would get a look in......except perhaps a MM300 or a SLA 057 but then id feel like i was cheating and it would all be very messy
Possible additions? I can think of a couple:
Maybe one from the SNE line of solar divers. Mid-sized, so on a par with the SKX013.
Maybe a Baby Alpinist? Or one from the Laurel Alpinist re-interpretation line?
All great watches. Still need an Arnie for the collection. Next to my Samurai.
great show, great collection the problem with Seiko is that I dont have enough Seiko!!!!
Yes!!!!!!
Narrowing down my collection to 5 watches has left me with just the one Seiko... King Samurai on black CWR Rubber. Awesome watch. Awesome strap. But I've not got a Chrono.... Panda SpeedTimer incoming soon 😁
exactly same as me, except don't have the last two...but have sary057JDM and sarb033. boom just found this pod..good clean english fun, a bit of monty about you fella. keep it going. subscribed!
I love the collection. My personal watch collection is 10 watches, and 5 seem to always be Seikos or Grand Seiko!
