Big shout out to Matt (and everyone else who has loaned me a watch), I'm going to be struggling to post this one bck on Monday. I know it has some issues, and it isn't exactly cheap, but it looks amazing and it fits me like a glove, so that has to count for somethign, right? Let's see if my inherent tightness allows me to actually buy one! Cheers, Jody

@UGA.D 3 года назад

One advantage of wearing the bracelet upside down is to control where the folded metal falls against the bottom of the wrist. Depending on the shape of your wrist, that placement of the fold can pressure a watch head more to one shoulder of the wrist or the other, helping to keep it centered. I've had to do so from time to time.

@rodpanhard 3 года назад

I sometimes wear bracelets back to front, sometimes you get better centering of the clasp if you do this, you try the bracelet the correct way round and if the clasp is off centre you reverse it to see if it sits any better. You would think if it's off one way reversing it would make it equally off the other way but that's not the case sometimes it will improve the way it fits your wrist.

@mahabir_navin 3 года назад

I've gone to a brick and mortar store, set the Seiko to NIST time, wound it fully, and then come back around 24 hours later to see how much it's drifted. Not as precise as a timegrapher, but I've found that method to be a pretty good predictor of how the movement will drift over the next couple years. All my Seikos slow down over time, so I look for ones that run a bit fast when new.

@snowmean1 3 года назад

There are plenty of timegrapher apps which works with headphones microphone attached to the watch case directly. Of course that's not a real timegrapher but this might show you some obvious issues with movement anyway. I used one to adjust few seiko and orient calibres, and it worked like a charm I was able to set 0 +1 spd easily.

@edteach3r 3 года назад

Honestly, I don’t buy the whole timegrapher craze. I understand why watch reviewers have them; but, as a watch freak, I don’t really care if the movements in my watches are faultless ... as long as they run accurately. Nobody is perfect 😀.

I highly recommend using the Weishi before buying. I was looking at a beautiful used Rolex Sub (2002) and it was +23. I also looked at a brand new Tudor Pelagos that was +13. I ended up with two other watches (a 2020 Rolex 126610 and a Tudor BB58 Blue both from the AD) and they were both +0 on my Weishi. I look at accuracy as important. which is partly why half my collection is quartz and I use my Casio Solar Atomic watches to set my automatics. For a brand new luxury watch from the AD, I ask the inhouse watchmaker to put it on his timegrapher for me to observe.

@zumalot 3 года назад

I agree because my trust with Seiko's QC was lost long ago. Concerning timing, on another subscription I frequent and respect, I stated a simple question. If a movement is capable of +/- x seconds a day, then why doesn't it perform that way out of the box? Many, myself included, were able to tweak the old well known 7s26 movement down to very good timing especially if you owned a timegrapher. Why is the customer having to unscrew the back and with steady hand make adjustments to get better or even decent accuracy? I realize we're dealing with mass produced lower end movements, but wouldn't be refreshing for that -20 to +30, whatever, to be tightened up quite a bit? I was told cost and the fact most people don't care. I haven't mentioned alignment issues and won't because this horse has been beat to death. I would buy only after eyes and hands on. I enjoy your content. Cheers everyone.

Bracelet is comparable to strapcode in quality, the Zaratsu polishing is reeeally nice, movement is reliable and a bit better than the old mid-tier seikos like sarbs, and the most important thing is the look of the watch.

I think, on this occasion (and usually I'm a big fan of applied everything), they've made the perfect choice with the printed logo. Great review though!

Hello & happy weekend, greetings from the 305. Another great review Jodi, thank you & to Matt for sharing. It looks so nice even with niggles. I love the stainless bezel. I have the SRPC61 Bottlecap with the s.s. bezel and it's obviously different level in terms of price, spec & case style, yet kind of punches above it's class. If you can't easily find the 1851, perhaps have a look back at the SRPC61, still available & affordable. I have a 7in. wrist for your ref. as well. Future bottlecap review perhaps?

Great looking watch. Unfortunately, I could not connect with it with the few flaws that I noticed...

I've had the blue one for over 2 months now, I have had to take the bezel apart due to it being extremely tight to turn, cleaned and lubricated it after putting some scratch marks on it from taking it apart (it's more difficult than my other divers), and after all was set and done one of the "leafs"Igo

Seiko bezels action is atrocious, like wet sponge . No feel no precision . Every time I try one hoping it’s been updated I’m like nope no thank you . How can such an iconic dive brand have such shitty bezel action?

Timegraphing in the store: It’s not too cheeky at all. It’s a non-invasive procedure and as long as you don’t make a video of it, they should let you.

My Seiko diver spb079 is back for it's 2nd warranty repair in 18 months. Last time took 3 months, hopefully not as long this time.

I had problems with an SKX and a SRPE67K1. In contrast my Street Tuna solar quartz has been reliable so far.

Nice watch, I’m saving up for a Grand Seiko Snowflake if I can fine one.

Great Review, Great Watch... But the news of the day is actually Red Bull aiming to make their own Engines! Crazy!

I just bought a SPD149, and the Steelmaster was the only contender. I am happy I went the way I did, but am sure that I would have been equally happy with the other choice also. I’d offer to lend it to you for review, but you just said you don’t care for the blue dial / black bezel color combo, so...

OK, for the last time. On the Seiko Prospex series watches which are all ISO certified divers, the logo and indices will never be applied. The indices will be stamped into the back of the dial and the logo will be printed so as to make both of them permanent, never to be dislodged from rough handling or extreme temperatures where adhesive can sometimes fail.

Nice watch! Good vid. Keep at it!

That's a really handsome watch. Normally can't stand date at 3, but this is excellent, best integrated date I've seen. 6rxx can be rubbish tho, had a Alpinist & 6r35 Sumo, both were inconsistent and far less accurate than my 4rxx Turtle. Agree, I'd have one but yes I'd want to check it's accuracy too. Cheers mate & thanks to the owner for lending it to you. 👍🏻👍🏻

This looks similar to the Heimdallr SKX007 Marine Master. Although the Seiko has a shiny bezel. Ahhhh spring in North America! 81 degrees Fahrenheit Tuesday, finally!
