100% agreed. It’s shame that if. Seiko just took a little bit more effort to refine this model it would be one of the best in the industry. 1- regulate the movement. 2- ceramic bezel insert. 3-taper the bracket from 20-16mm. 4. Better clasp, get rid of that horrible divers extension, make a fully milled clasp head. 5. Add polished elements on the bracelet.

I love that SLA but just not in my price range. If I ever spent that much it would be for a Tudor Pelagos probably. I can’t wait to see Seiko’s releases this year
@@greginaustinTX despite everyone saying how amazing the SLA's finishing is, my biggest gripe with the SLA was the stupid caseback. I know thats nitpicky, but for that much money i do not want some cartoon creature that looks like a 7 year old me came up with lol.
Had the sbdc101 jdm version for a week. Sold. It is a nice looking piece but too much of a dressy diver for me. After 1 day I made marks on the top polished bevel of the bezel. Purchased a spb317 and now im in love.
hell yes! those Slim Turtles look amazing! I'm so close to getting the white dial one. Big Turtle fan to begin with, it's my favorite watch hands down. Thanks for sharing
Sofia congratulates Austin. great watch. I bought it when the model came out, there was no lume at 3 o'clock yet. I wore it for a year without interruption. for the mechanism - the first two months it was -4, -5, the next two +4, up to +9. the remaining time until the end of the year +6, +8. I have not detected with a device. only once a week I compare and calculate on a daily basis. two other mechanisms 6 p are of climbers. the first always went + 10, + 14. but I only wore it for 3 months. the second alp. from the very beginning it started +2, + 5 ... and so - 8 months. the mechanism works differently in different situations. you have to wear it for 3 months. to fit your lifestyle. I'm definitely happy with all three. I don't care so much about ultra-accuracy, because I have other watches with much worse indicators, which I also love very much and have not taken to a repair shop
I have become a believer in break in periods on these watches. I just bought a new Seiko with bracelet and upon receipt I was going to remove links to get the bracelet sized to my wrist, but then thought that I'd wind it and make sure it was functioning incase I needed to send it back... didn't want to have to reinstall links and not ding up the cosmetics while doing so. I was shocked at how fast the watch was running. It started with 8 seconds an hour fast... that's impossible to live with. I then took three days to see if it would settled down. I wound it fully and every 12 hours, I repositioned the watch on my desk. Crown down, crown up, flat face down, flat face up. I kept winding it and repositioning it for three days. When I picked it up after the last 12 hours, it was 2 seconds fast. I guess just running fully wound for days without occilations from wearing it and changing the position (to account for built-in positional accuracy) allowed it to stabilize. I sized my bracelet and have worn it almost daily for weeks now and it might be my most accurate automatic watch.
@@daveLin104 I was never a bracelet guy, my wrist is fairly small, 6 and a half inches, so I could never wear anything right out of the box. Using UA-cam, and after buying a pin removal tool, I was able to get good at sizing bracelet and now have 5 watches with bracelets. This Seiko while fairly pricey falls behind my recently purchased Steeldive 1954, which has that company's latest bracelet which has 6 micro adjustments. The Seiko for my wrist is at that either too tight or too lose after removing the links needed to fit my wrist. The fine tuning is lacking compared to the Steeldive at a third the price. The Seiko feels better built so this is just a size thing based on my wrist.
I got it last week... with the SPB153 and the SPB 313 and it was my fave... I agree about the power reserve. Often rotate between 2-3 watches daily and the power reserve is awesome
The 313 is like my next purchase!! Do you like it? I guess you gotta like Turtles. 2-3 watches a day! So I’m not the only one! Thank God cause I was loosing my mind thinking I was nuts changing watches throughout the day.
@@greginaustinTX I do like it... maybe not quite as much as I thought I would, it was the main one I wanted and I got carried away and added the SPB153 and the 143 as an afterthough as I got a great price.... The 143 ended up being my favorite
@@daveLin104 I also got the Green Sumo Hulk this year... of the 4 the Sumo Hulk feels the nicest, buttery soft and smooth, feels expensive, the Willard is also nice though I kind of wish I'd gone for the black version as the lighter green doesn't really contrast well with the indicices etc, but it is still nice, the 143 is a classic, the 313 which was the one I was lusting for the most would be my last choice... just felt a little more alliexpress somehow... rattly bracelet, rough edges on the bezel, i think it's the bezel that seems a little cheap/skx?... also it doesn't have good lume compared to all the others... wore it all weekend tho lol so you can't go wrong, if you have a bigger wrist consider the sumo hulk, otherwise I'd go Willard (black for better contrast/sharpness)... they are all nice tho, and I wear them all.
@@gustomundo thanks for the reply the sumo would most prob be too large as I only have medium wrists and don't like oversized watches. I have the spb143 currently at home it is a great looker. I was looking at the 313 and swapped at the last minute and ordered the 143. I had my eye on the willard as well people day wears well for the size.
The only Seiko I have in the collection. Yes. It’s definitely one of the better looking Seikos. The time keeping is pretty underwhelming. I have to choke it back by at least 3-4minutes a week. I keep going back to my sub for accuracy and good time keeping. This movement needs to be better regulated for a $1000plus watch.
I do agree for the price, I decided on a used mido sea star 200 with the 80 hr powermatic. But, I still want an Orient neptune triton. I am an Orient fan, as well. Another is the Squale dive watches. Some of their color combo offerings are classy. Now as to watches, watch hades is the time changes twice a year. Now, there's a project!
