5 Luxury Dive Watches I WOULD'VE BOUGHT INSTEAD of the SEIKO LX SNR029 Spring Drive 

Spring Drive + Titanium + MM case shape are the hallmarks of an icon as the represent Accuracy/Reliability + Strength/lightweight + Heritage. Kirby, congratulations on this LX its by far superior than all Sub $10,000 Swiss Counterparts. I also love the power reserve gauge on my ORIENT TRITON 200M its very helpful and am certain you will equally grateful

I'd love to have the LX but nothing like the MM300 for me.

I wish Seiko would make a spring drive Willard.

The only thing that irks me about the GS diver is the lume pip on the other end of the second hand reminds me of my old sea urchin i never liked it on that either the lx is a good choice

Great looking watch. Like it better than the gs sd. Maybe some me day i will get a sd diver. I have a sla 049 Naomi umuera. Super nice willard. A sla 043. Tough vintage style watch. Handsome! A sla 055 blue dial. The case is amazing, blue dial also . And last. My only high beat watch. Sla039, chunky boy! I have it on a bright orange rubber strap. Perfect for me. This one has magic for me. I was thinking of the omega for a while, drawn to that vintage look, but ran across the sla039 for a great price. Sorry omega.

I went to the Seiko dealer here in Taipei over the weekend and they had a brand new SNR029 for sale. The store manager said this is the last new old stock from Seiko and he was willing to sell it to me for 160,000 NTD which is roughly $5000 USD even. I put the watch on but could not see all the intricate details as the wrapper on still on there. The store manager also showed off his personal collection of Grand Seikos to me. He had several divers and a GMT one. All in all, I passed on his offer (for now) as I will be making a trip to Tokyo soon. And given the weak yen I might be able to find this watch for cheaper than what the Seiko Taiwan dealer was offering. I'm also looking at the marine master 600M. As long as the diver is titanium and spring drive, I'm all game.

I have the green dial version of the watch you have and believe it is not top heavy in general. It really wraps around my wrist and is super comfortable. But I have never compared it to a Grand Seiko diver. I like the GS diver you showed but it’s “only” 200meters water resistance vs 300 meters for the Seiko LX. That makes me think the Seiko is more rugged. I want to like the GS more but at least based on pictures and specs, I do not. Maybe if I try it on in person.

You picked the best divers watch. This is the best constructed watch with the most accurate movement. It is a big watch but the titanium makes it feel like you are not wearing a watch.

Love my LX landmaster :D Great vid. Kirby

Love my LX as well! Would only trade for a GS slga015 but that’s just a dream!

What about sla037 and sla025 Kirby? Bit expensive right? Certainly for me anyway! Great video man!

What about the Damasko nice simple dial but watch with great abilities Plus great video

Don't sell all your Japanese watches to get the Tudor Black Bay 54!!! That is what the Swiss Mafia wants you to do! On a serious note, I personally think that the 62MAS and its iterations are a much more beautiful design compared to the Tudor Black Bay. The reason is that the 62MAS has the aggressive looks which are characteristic of Japanese design philosophy. For instance, we often see that Toyota and Lexus make cars with very beautiful geometries, which are aggressive and universally elegant. On the other hand, European designs are sleek and posh. They attract you with their posh-ness coupled with all the hype surrounding the brand. The novelty of such Swiss "mid-tier holy grails" wears off quite quickly, as the person starts looking up towards things that are better than the Tudor Black Bay, for example. For that reason, people who keep enjoying the exquisite quality of Japanese offerings, are always content with their collection. In my opinion, I think that a person who has a Seiko Marine Master SLA021, or the Seiko LX, should not go for a less exciting (but posh) Tudor. Something more exciting for you could be a Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 with the Ice Blue dial, or maybe a Rado Captain Cook black dial with the 3-link bracelet: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uNVD-KnkHbw.html Tudor has become boring in my opinion :/

It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. MAMACOO watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?

You bought The Watch my friend . Have no regrets . Nothing matches it

Grand Seiko SBGH257 if money was no object.

I have nothing profound to add to a subjective conversation. Swiss vs Japan blah blah. I have the LX SNR029. I could list the reasons why, and at this price, it is not about an inability to afford a more expensive watch. More $ ≠ better watch. Full stop. All of your alternates are wonderful. However, the crown at 3 o'clock is a no go for me. The LX is the only one on your list with the crown at 4. I work with my hands. The crown being at the 4 position is one of the top reasons I got the LX over Grand Seiko and all the others.

I have omega seamaster professional! I’m seating in this watch right now and watching this video and I couldn’t get how people can pay the same price for seiko if they can get omega ? I understand to each his own and forgive me seiko fans but I’m pass… 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would've bought the Omega just on the resale value alone

4:30 there is no craftsmanship there. The movement in question is machine made and machine decorated. A watchmaker may only be included during a part of the assembly, nothing else. This is luxury, not high horology, so no craftsmanship there. If you want craftsmahship, you need to go into high horology.

Better than this video .... learn peoples how they stolen 😂😂 Sorry just joking .... 6000 $ Toooo much Thanks
