I have this very one and it is beautiful, keeps great time, and receives its fair share of compliments. I changed out the strap and wear it nearly every day.
Good review, but you didnt mention the favt the dials shapes actually change from diamond to Square as light hits it and its moved. Absolutely astonishing.
Gorgeous beautiful dial …. But originally they came with the 6r35 movement which is much better , they don’t have a sapphire crystal only Softlex , it should have no date … Seiko have gone so overpriced lately 😅 I want the watch but it has so many short comings .. Hamilton give you sapphire for cheaper so do many many other watches including micro brands … Seiko can quite easily put a sapphire for the same price but prefer to screw the customers 🤷🏻 basically you are buying the dial here
In this price range I'd only accept sapphire and 100m water resistance. Been very close to buying it many times, but know it would be painful not seeing stunning dial because of scratches. Hopefully they'll get it right next time.
I get the sapphire only but why 100m water resistance on a dress watch? Some Nomos like the Zurich world Time or the Orion have 30m WR and are worth thousands, that's just the staple for dress watches.
I'm stuck between choosing this against Hamilton Khaki H70455553 with the silver dial. I know they are totally different categories of watches but both are similarly priced with lovely dials which I'm after for my next watch. I wonder if this Seiko can be a strap monster as well. And yes, I agree: why not sapphire at this price range? Or at least 6r35 movement. Come on Seiko!
Personally I would go for the Seiko. The Hamilton is fantastic and all and will definitely have a slightly better movement than the Seiko. But, I usually get bored of plain sunburst dials after awhile. The Seiko gives me something to stare at when I am bored haha.
For daily wear that hamilton would be more suitable. This seiko is good but only suitable for special event. It would be to flashy to wear it every days
@@hrs.ai2018 I bought the Seiko; probably the most handsome watch I've ever owned. But ended up selling it exactly because it's too dressy for a daily wear.
No Seiko watch at this price point has a sapphire crystal. AliExpress watches with claimed Seiko movements are suspect. I’ve had a Turtle for years with no scratches.
@@Tone_SA Thanks dude! I've had it for about 3weeks now and i love it. I know you're not supposed to put dress watches on NATO strap but I put it on cool green and white striped nato and I think it looks awesome 😎 lol
@@Tone_SA Ya I agree, I think dress watches look fine on Natos. All about personal preference I guess but if you're going for comfort and security, NATO is way to go
@@kabirh3626also, Citizen is getting better and better. Lately, they're producing great enthusiast watches with great design and good materials that are priced very competitively.
Tone - I may be more likely to sub if future videos pick a different paradigm than Watchfinder's "Talking hands". As interesting as it is, it feels like too much of a lift from the other channel. Not speaking for everyone or even some people, but it's my thinking anyway. You're early on. Feel free to play around with different ways of showcasing the hardware, so to speak. Or do as most others do and talk about it face to face with the camera. Or keep doing this. I just feel weird seeing a new creator do something that's so close to an established one, wood table, thumbnails, and all.
Fair. Get creative, see what's easy for you to produce, isn't gimmicky, and attracts an audience. I think you can do a lot of the watch close-ups and stuff without feeling too similar to WF, but you'd need a good substitute for the talking hands. Honestly even if it's just white gloves with a chocolate leather surface/backdrop it might be different enough.
man is putting up seiko on pedestal but quality went down horribly 500$+ watches with mineral glass and bad quality control.... citizen is the brand you were describing not seiko

I got this same watch yesterday. very happy to own this beauty.

Beautiful dial n the dial pieces being gold... Damn!
I just bought the watch and dials are just amazing at the price.
Wear it in good health!
Hey! Can you share your one-year review of the Hardex front on the watch? Does it scratch easily? I'm thinking of getting one!
My Mojito arrives next week - can't wait to get a look at "in the flesh" .... my only small worry is I have an 8 inch wrist and it may wear too small.
I wish they would have made the green version with a gold case. I’ve also seen a salmon version. I personally have the red version.
Maybe in the future they will
Wish this came in 40mm for those with larger than 7in wrists. Gorgeous watch.
Agreed!

Because I'm around water all the time and exclusively wear dress watches, though the whole watch rarely are submerged it's for peace of mind.
@@gu1111 then wear a diver lmao, what kind of argument is this? Dress watch? 100m?
managed to secure one for $300 pre-tax, thx bezos
Here its only 250$ ,
I am also confused between hamilton and Seiko 😄
toss a coin ...
Hamilton watch for daytime, Seiko cocktail time for the evening

Whaaaat? U sold it because it was to beautiful to own/wear? I use the hamilton paneurope for daily wear and this is just stunning

I can't wait to get this watch ⌚
Enjoy it when you get it!

@@cappy2282 Go for the Nato! I feel dress watches on Nato are just as nice as they are on leather or a bracelet!

😂😂❤❤😮
Cocktail blue moon the best
The hardlex crystal is a betrayal for the nice size and design of the watch. A deal breaker. Orient bambino is better
Orient Bambinos are nice too, it's sad that the seiko uses hardlex, but the dial on the seiko is my true drawing factor
Exactly if orient can do sapphire so can Seiko .. you are paying for the dial here with sub par components

Very good point. I'm also having a thought about that myself recently. Though, as of now, I am not super prepared to show off my face haha.

First.
Thank you haha

You can get a presage for around $350 New.
