HOT from Seiko - Save the Ocean and New Monsters 

Marc always remember: tax evasion is a felony, but tax avoidance is a patriotic duty!

I bit the bullet and got the Samurai; love the blue coloration...can't stop looking at it!

Great video -- thanks! As a novice watch collector, it amazes me how much better watches look in videos than in photos, so videos like this help so much!!

"I'm just, in no particular order, I'm just gonna go left to right." Hahahaha!

You're the best watch reviewer. You talk slowly but not boring. Great job.

Grooved, if you know what a record is...haha haha. Yes I'm old

Man, That samurai looked awesome

Howdy Marc! I just bought (and received today) my Samurai "Great White" Save the Ocean. First - thanks for the fast ship! Second - what a watch! The dial is really something nice to look at. Pip & chapter ring are perfectly aligned & I don't know if Seiko changed the bezel action, but it seems really smooth on this watch compared to my other Samurais (not that they feel is any way rough...) Really buttery movement. Now if we can just get Seiko to put out a green Samurai!

"There's been so many monsters flying around."

Dang these Seikos are irresistible 💥

I just bought an Orange Samurai! Love it, and it's different then my blue dial watches.

Got my SRPD23 STO Samurai. This watch is just so damn amazing! 🔥🔥🔥 Love it to bits 👌🏻

Great video as always. I bought the plain monster, which is still nice. But the best one has to be the turtle. Absolutely stunning in every way and can't stop looking at it. My wife is sharpening knives in the kitchen and muttering "another watch!".

Glad they are still making monsters. I do think the gen 2 and gen 3 are the best, the gen 4 seems kind of like a step backwards. Regardless I will probably buy one

The Samurai is my favourite, awesome watch

All very stunning watches. I am so glad that the monsters have not gone away. I do love them. I was concerned that Seiko was going away from the series.

Hi Marc, excellent video as always! I love my second gen Monster and am so glad I got one before they decided to add the cyclops, flat crystal, smoother rotating bezel, and what appears to be slightly shorter hands. I am sure the third gens will do well, but to me the more aggressive styling of the second gens are the way to go. The blue dials on others are just amazing!

Chapters lined up Perfect,,,, Fakes!! Seiko Busting Out with What We Didn't Know We want. Sick Stuff, Brilliant Show LIW, Yes Please Mr Seiko, Unreal.

Is it just me or is Seiko just taking batting practice with all these great new dive watches? Every one is a home run.

Just got the "new" "Save the Ocean" Turtle... for $315, including free shipping and including taxes. Marc, I wish you all the best, I want you to get rich beyond your wildest dreams... but I think I will shop around before I buy from you again 😒 Last time I got a watch from you I overpaid about $200... I am not made out of money, buddy, sorry!

That samurai is a dream come true

Love the turtle. For 400 bucks though i'd kinda like a sapphire crystal :/

I bought a fairly expensive Seiko prospex watch and love it so much, I've finally broken my habit of buying watches. Can't see buying any more watches for a long time now.

I like these. I bought the STO turtle from last year, threw a strapcode angus J on it and it's one of my absolute favorites. It's big but wears very comfortably. These look great, too.

I just got that samurai today and pictures alone do not do the new save the ocean watches justice. They look amazing in person and when it comes the shark fin you don't really notice it unless you look right at it.

I got the samurai at Macy's online special Father's day sale with same-day shipping for a total of $338 which includes tax and shipping shipping. It was a great deal. I had to jump on it.

Another good video, good clear camera work and good narration.

I do like to see my favorite boy in blue in full-on blue mode! Even showing a Seiko watch in a blue dial with a motif of a Blue shark fin.

Can’t remember if I left a comment before when I bought* my Samurai … about 9 months later I’m still loving it. Big, but nicely balanced, and it keeps great time with a long reserve. I keep forgetting to look for the shark fin. *Not from Marc, but from a brick and mortar watch/jewelry shop in my neighborhood. So not supporting OUR hero, but a hero nonetheless.

I'm in the market for one of the "Save The Ocean " watches. Very informative, Thx!

That turtle is straight fire! I gotta save up to order because that dial is simply amazing

Absolutely love my new save the ocean Turtle! Mine is JDM SBDY.

Would love a reissue of the gen 2 monster dial in orange.

Thanks for the video Marc. Love the dial on the save the ocean turtle. However I only have a 6.25 in wrist and I think it might be too big for me 😭

Confirmed Dive Watchaholic here. Thanks, as always, for taking the time to put up the videos. Really helps to see the watches displayed in motion to get an idea of how they will really look on someone's. Of the 4 watches reviewed, the Turtle is probably the most interesting. Only question why we need another Turtle. I have four other Turtles so will let this pass.Re the Samurai, interesting dial face but still can't warm up to the case, even though I have two of the Samurai (the PADI Pepsi and orange dial). The Monsters are just disappointing. No way around it. One of the distinctive features of the Gen1 and Gen2 Monsters was the bezel and case (and lots of lume!). Compared to the Gen 2, Seiko cheapened/downgraded these components significantly. Personally, I don't consider these worthy of the Monster branding.In retrospect, I think the Gen1/2 Monsters were incredible values and sometimes wondered if Seiko killed them off in order to launch the new Turtles. Stop and think about it, when the neo Turtles were introduced, the Monsters were selling for around $200. Most Turtles on bracelets were selling for $275 (or more). Don't know about you but the 2nd Gen Monster was and still is head shoulders above the Turtles (which I like very much) in overall value. Notice the true Monster upgrades were the ones where Seiko used the 6R15 movement but asking price was now around $500. Glad I already have a SRP307(black) and SRP309(orange). Bottom line...Disappointed

Awesome Seikos! I am happy to see them all at LIW.

Nice video, Marc, even though I haven’t watched it yet, lol.

Very nice thank you for all your time!

That Samurai looks dope. Any word on the green dial Cocktail Time? I've got a couple weddings to go to this summer and they sound like a good excuse to buy a new watch

All very nice and tuff decision between the two great whites 🤔, that grey monster looks pretty bloody good to though👍 (All I need now is a new job🤪), Great review and thanks for sharing 👍🍻 (PS: you don’t normally miss anything (maybe I did) but I don’t think you mentioned the shark fin on the second hands😉👍🍻)

All Turtle Bracelets have a divers extension. This one is no exception haha

that save the ocean turtle is awesome!!! owned the original issue titanium samurai... another piece I stupidly sold. thinking about this version. looks nice.

I am likely in the minority about the cyclops. I hated them when I was younger, thinking they were pretentious. Now that my close-up vision is a thing of the past, I appreciate the utility of a good magnifier over the date! They are beautiful additions to Seiko’s dive watch lineup!

Next episode: hello and welcome to long and island watch, I am in tax court and I’m going to review my lawyer’s watch

Damn, I really like that 🐢! Have a older Monster but the new turtle sure tickles all my senses, in a good way! :)

Those Monsters will be on sale eventually. Who the hell wants that nasty cyclops? Seiko complete fail. The Turtle and Samurai look nice. Thanks Marc!

Nice pieces Marc! The shark!!! 😂😂😂. Nice sizes 👍 Nuce that you carry saphire. 👍👍

Love the new STO Seiko, Marc; outstanding color blue and that wave pattern is beautiful, but very subtle. One of these days I've got to pull the trigger on the original, with the gorgeous graduated blue to black dial and the somewhat more pronounced wave design. Would love to see you offer the Seiko rubber strap in blue, please, if you can get your hands on some; would be a perfect complement to the blue dial on any of the Save the Ocean watches. Oh, yeah, I absolutely do fondly remember (and still own) vinyl records, even with their quirks and special handling and care required. Sort of analogous to a mechanical watch, perhaps?

Got my Great White Turtle from Long Island Watch this week. The watch is absolutely beautiful. Greatly preferred the look and feel of the Turtles over the Samurais. Super comfortable to wear as well. Service and communication were exceptional. Thanks.

Ugh.... I still want an original Monster with the shark tooth markers. Those are nice pieces Mark👍

Samurai 💓💪💪

Love that Turtle! The details of the waves, the shark fin, and the sword embedded in the 12:00 indices is absolutely gorgeous! I even like the grooved bezel! I lnow you said the double domed sapphire will work, but I'm wondering if the bezel can be upgraded/ modded?

Awesome save the ocean watches Mark, just wish they did one in a bit smaller size say 40/42 mm....

Great video. Thanks

Seiko has done well with those new dials... but i still think the monsters should have teeth markers...they have done 2 new Orange Monsters but nothing beats the Gen 2.

Seiko winners 👍 thanks Marc 😁

Great prices on these new Seikos Marc ! Thanks

Is there any orange monster that’s readily available ?

You could write off some watches by donating them to a fellow aficionado 🤣🤣

Hardlex or high grade mineral is simply better if you are actually going to dive with the watch. (Scratches easier, but tougher in every other way.) It says it in the name: Prospex. It is made for people who actually dive with them. Citizen does the same thing with their Promaster series, even if they offer watches under half the price that have sapphire.

Mark how good is the bezel allotment on does Samurais??

I picked up one of these from you this week and it looks like there are at least a few upgrades. Obv the bezel insert but also the knurls on the bezel are a little different. My main reason for commenting is the bracelet. On the end links it has a 641 as opposed to the 631. This got me thinking and it looks like the end link is a slightly shape. In another RU-vid review the person unknowingly put a 631 bracelet on the SRPD21 and there was noticeable play. I was wondering if you had any additional information on this 631/641 difference.

Where did you get that Wall Clock?

Time to put a 4r36 or even 6r15 in an SKX case Seiko! And do not change the size!! (I have actually heard some rumors of an updated versrion of the SKX coming, but I'm not sure.)

Does it matter if it's for the japan or the US market ?

Also, I need to add the turtle and samurai to my current Seiko diver stable

dangit, seiko! cylcops? really! the one watch with the size I'd consider buying and it has a cyclopse?!!!! ....my wallet thanks you for the deterrence.

Great watches and dials. My wish would be to be an octopus. My eight arms could wear many watches together. But then, I would have a difficult time with my budget.... lol

Gorgeous dial

Monster lug width is 20mm?

You mentioned on a previous video that you would not be offering a crystal upgrade for the Sammy, because it was not as popular as the Turtle. But you do have sapphires that will fit it. Is it still the case that you will not install them? I'd really like to get a STO Sammy and upgrade the heck out of it with a better crystal, a Hexad bracelet, the glidelock clasp, and possibly a ceramic bezel. It would add up in price, but still be more affordable than some of the other watches I'm considering.

Sorry to hear about the letter Mark. I think most business owners live in fear of their mailbox in thought of the possibility that they may not have complied with one of the billion regulations that dictate seemingly every moment of our working lives.

How's the chapter ring alignment on the new monsters?

Beautiful watches!

thumbs up for the 'waaaah' XD

Of the four I'd pick the turtle.

The turtle bracelet is great, until you lose a collar and the pin won't stay in

Thanks for another great video. Do these bracelets have the dreaded pin and collar (or pin and sleeve) system found on the Turtle PADI edition SRPA21?

Marc, do you have linked pictures of a samurai fitted with the domed sapphire? pls provide link

Very nice indeed. OK which should I buy first?

Hi Marc, talking about Samurai, I got months ago the SRPB55 gun metal and silicone black strap, does SEIKO has a gun metal bracelet Oyster, for this watch?

Your watch your way - monster no cyclops!

I am really to save the ocean daddy Seiko. 0m Damn I already bought 4 diver's since Christmas (less than a month): ISL#1, Kamasu, Triton, Seastar. Should slow down on divers lol.

Hello. Im not the best english listener. COuld you summarise what is the difference bewteen old and new 'Save the Ocean' besides new shield?

Just curious, will you be carrying the Seiko Giugiaro?

On the new Monsters, is the bezel darkened by PVD coating or anodization? If PVD, how prone to scratching will they be, given now big their bezels are? The Great Whites look spiffy. Only question is Samurai vs. Turtle.

is is asking too much for a "save the ocean" SKX?

Sehr gutes Video Prima Kanal,like ist raus weiter so

Great video, and nice new Seikos: especially love the new blue-dialed Monster. And, call me weird, but that Cyclops is totally cool with me-it's about function, after all.

Some people say misaligned for turtle . What is the meaning of this?

Looks like I’m already too late! Any chance you’ll be getting more in soon?

Marc do you really think that the Turtle bracelet is NICE? I mean how do you rate the watch head and the bracelet separately?

Mark, as of 8-24 i see the prices went up on the monster.... Did i miss the boat?

The new watch, water board the Mexican!

It’s on my list :) This one and the spb101 sumo

hi Marc, is the srpd23 and sbdy029 made in Japan ? the srpd23 has "japan" printed on the dial while the sbdy029 has"made in japan" printed on dial. what is the difference ? thanks

Sweet!

Mark what will be the shipping cost to india using dhl?

Any word on MIJ Seiko Baby Turtles coming soon?

I have a question on another topic. I bought a SEIKO SARB033 wristwatch, which is also handwinding. How many turns do not cause damage?
