Hello sir. I’m big fan Smiths watches too. I have Everest expedition new version. Little bit different with yours one. Anyway. I’m happy find another big fan ! Thank you sir your content !
Picked up one of these for a fiver in a charity shop and it started my fascination with the beauty of watch engineering. I have changed the bracelet to a calf leather strap now which I prefer.
Congratulations for the very useful video. I wanted to ask you a courtesy, is it possible to have the link of where you bought the metal strap. Thanks 👋
Seiko 5 sports... People who are talking shit about it are just being stupid. They do not dive as deep as 100M. The screw-down crown is nothing more than an extra step in adjusting time and date. The price is very attractive for the Seiko 5 sports. I dare those who talk shit about Seiko 5 Sports to make a watch from scratch and see if you can even do it. Other than that, keep your comment to yourself because you are just hating.
So what’s the difference btwn. this and the SKX 007? More slender in design and 100mm drive and the crown now at the 3 market and both discontinued? Are these more difficult to find and I thought the SKX series were replaced by the Seiko 5 line? I wish Seiko names their watches bc remembering and understanding all these model number can be a real pain. I just got into Seikos and I keep finding out about a new older special watch and there are so many.
See how it looks in the video, my wrist is only 0.5cm larger. You can wear it, but it's going to wear like a big watch. If you want something slightly smaller look at the Citizen NY0040, it's more rugged, but one of my favourites and wears great on a small wrist. Check out my 36mm Smith's reviews for something that's going to look really nice on 16cm wrist
Now this would be the ideal watch for me if only it was fitted with the Seiko "Mecaquartz" movement. I cannot see the attraction of mechanical movements especially the automatic versions...
In today's world an expensive watch may see only occasional use. Watches can be easily damaged at the desk while working with compuers. Repeated unscewing of the crown may put an unnecessary stress on the mechanism. It makes better sense to have a non-renewable crown on a watch.
These are indeed special! I finally bought a few TimeFactors watches after more than a decade of admiring the products but somehow never actually making a purchase. I collected vintage pieces for years and I must say Eddie has really nailed the aesthetic and feel in his watches, only with the added benefits of modern standards.
I don't think I can post a link, and the seller I got mine from no longer lists them, but if you search eBay I'm sure you'll find the same thing. For the price it's a decent bracelet. I'm still using it, wearing it today as it happens, and it's holding up & working very well
I bought one as a cheap daily so I don’t wear my longines hydro conquest out. It’s a good everyday wear watch and suits my style. I like it almost as much as I like my longines
@@WTMS1 I have reference ny0086-16le with miyota 8204 inside, fun fact it's right 8203 on the dial haha i ask to citizen they say all production with the original handle comes like that, iv'e also ordered the titanium version i hope delivery is for tomorrow. Best regards. Iceman
With Seiko you don't get sapphire, you get QC issues such as misaligned bezels, bad screw down crowns (even sellers have a warning for bad seiko crowns), low beat cheap movements 4r or 6r, cheap bracelets. The bezel insert on that seiko looks no better than a $150 Orient diver lol. Not sure how you came to these conclusions...
Are these the same as the SKX in that it requires you to wear it in order for it to work? The reason I got rid of my SKX is because I have multiple watches in rotation so by the time I got back to the SKX I would have to reset it every time
