Seiko Collectors Dream Watch ($3,500 62MAS Diver 38mm SJE093 review) 

But it works, Omega Speedmasters, Seamasters, Blancpain 50 Fathoms, Breitling Navitimers, AP Royal Oaks…it’s all the same. Tons of remakes, reinterpretations, reissues…so as a profit generating company which main purpose is to, as taboo as that may sound make money then I don’t think they are in a wrong path tbh.

It's because it keeps getting sold out. A business is going to maximize profits when all is said and done😊

@@ryangochuicoYeah and I expect them to continue to do so. I don’t understand why some people are allergic to corporations making money, the words “money grab” is sometimes used and I really don’t know what that means😂. Everything is a money grab no? It’s a product created to make money. It’s kind of how corporations continue to bring us new products..

Seiko are not like used to be where back in the days their were affordable and value and now they slowly stepping into swiss strategy where releasing a lot limited ed

Exactly!

Very well said

End of the debate.

Well said

I'm debating on the BB54 and the SJE093, but leaning much more to the Seiko... 😵

Yesss! Good eye, a REAL if you know you know 😉

Always a pleasure Ricky!! Thanks for coming on

Cant go wong with Ricky Wong !!

Oh no thought you would never sell your 143 😬

@@daveLin104 realistically speaking, I wouldn’t. This is a little on the expensive side in my humble opinion.

@SoCalWatchReviews thanks for the reply 🙏 I'm the same as you love this watch it looks amazing and love the size, but it's very overpriced in particular it doesn't even come with a bracelet. I'm hoping something midsize like this in the 143 price range

@@daveLin104 Agree 💯

Just like the Omega Speedmasters…but they sell every single one.

I think, we are a bit hard on seiko... people always compare 62mas vs Tudor BB.. if you google Tudor Black bay super dami niya models din... mas madami pa kaysa sa 62Mas re-issue... Heritage Black Bay 79220N - in three colors.. Black Bay 79230R, 79230N, 79230B - from ETA to in-house Black Bay 79250BM - first bronze Black Bay 79230DK - DLC coated Black Bay 36 79500 - 36mm Black Bay Chronograph 79350 - first chrono Black Bay steel 79730 - first all steel Black Bay Date S&G 79733N - first steel and gold model Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Blue 79250BB - 2nd bronze model Black Bay Harrods 79230G - first green bezel Black Bay GMT 79830RB - first pepsi Black Bay Fifty-Eight 79030N Black Bay 36 with blue dial Black Bay 41 79570 Black Bay 32 79580 Black Bay S&G champagne dial 79733N Black Bay Chronograph S&G 79363N Black Bay 32, 36, 41 in steel & gold Black Bay Bronze 79250BA Black Bay P01 70150 Black Bay Chronograph Dark 79350DK Black Bay Fifty-Eight Blue 79030B Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18K 79018V Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 silver 79010SG Black Bay Chronograph 79360N Black Bay Ceramic 79210CNU Black Bay 32, 36, 41 silver dial Black Bay Fifty-Eight Bronze 79012m Black Bay Pro 79470 Black Bay GMT S&G 79833MN Black Bay Chrono S&G 79363N champagne dial

My Seiko's are SPB153 (Willard), and SPB239 (love the look); want an accurate Seiko to end my Seiko's - 8L35 movement, maybe the SLA055?

maybe ... next year will be next interpretation and it will go on and on - so do not count on uniqueness unless you want for 62 or 63 MAS . I can tell you 6X MAS will be much better and nobody will look back on 62/63 MAS :)

I agree there will probably be more variations as they have been doing but unless they reissue this exact watch (or different size) how can you make the 62mas more 62mas haha. This so far has been so most faithful to the original.

Doesn't make sense considering the Japanese have small frames.

It’s true… for now right 😂😅

Enjoy it Andrew!! Glad you were able to pick one up

DIS

The bb54's bracelet and design is leagues above the shitbox. Plus its a chronometer. What's the accuracy in this +10/-25? Plus a 40 hr power reserve? It's not 2007 anymore

Unless you live in Japan, it's still better to go with the Tudor for warranty and service. No one is going to notice the hand's edges from the naked eye. Regardless, they're relatively the same value watch.

Great, you just stick with your poor man’s wannabe Rolex then .

@@glennhaley7404 if Tudor is a poor man's watch what is seiko?

@@jchong416 Not trying to be anything else

Like a Oris diver65 Glow😊

Will do!

I don’t foresee a no date version anytime soon since each recreation / re-interpretation has a date window, but we can dream!

Perfectly stated. I know it’s quite expensive, relatively speaking ; but I’ve put it on my wrist at the dealer …it’s completely….perfect. I want it ;-)

I heard that too but I think he meant the minute & hour indices are printed as the hour markers with Lume are clearly raised

@@MinuteMon, I just got ‘the call’ from my AD. My SJE093 is in. I hope I like it!

I don't think it's actually possible for a non Swiss brand to be COSC tested. Idk though

The light grey strap is from The Tropic Strap company

Thanks for watching! I have a pamphlet that Seiko provided our store that shows the SJE093 and says “Material: Stainless Steel with Super Hard Coating” Don’t know if it’s Diashield

Which is ironical, considering that Seiko's entire DNA is based on affordability and value for money.

Yeah, let's crucify the watchcrunch guy. How dare he recommend anything. You snowflakes might be offended.

Thank you!

The surface of the date window is polished like the indices, while its bevels have a sandblasted finish.

This one is instanteous date change, more or less at midnight

Nice, thanks! As someone with a 7.25' wrist, this is the best 62MAS recreation bar none imho@@MinuteMon

It lines up fine what are you talking about

It’s from The Tropic Strap company 20mm

@@MinuteMon cool thanks for the reply!

Look up Seikos Diver Watch by Sadao Ryugo 👍🏼 (RU-vid won’t let me link external links in comments anymore)

Why do you think enthusiasts are interested in your budget constraints?

No one cares lol

@@ChromeMan04 👍

Yes, a light grey tropic strap from The Tropic Strap company

@@MinuteMon only 20 & 22mm on the tropic site. 🤷‍♂️

Yes, forgot to mention it's 20 mm, but I was able to squeeze it into the 19 mm lug width

Correct

I own this piece and yes the is entirely stamped using high pressure die, for this reason the Seiko logo is printed to eliminate weak points on a sport watch.

This one 😉

Quite a few years ago, unfortunately. When the SLA017 came out a few years ago at > USD 4,000, one could still get a Marine Master 300 at about USD 2,500 with the exact same unfinished / unregulated 8L movement. They are milking the great 62MAS design for all its worth.

I'm still in honeymoon with my SJE093 so I am extremely biased towards it right now. Ask me in a few months lol

Fair enough. I see them as natural competitors based on dial and colour. I'm torn. I think the Seiko is a bit more of a strap monster though?@@MinuteMon

I don't have any issue with the crown digging into my wrist, I usually wear it snug with a little looseness

I only ask because my speedtimer has a similar looking crown size and position wise. As in towards the base of the watch. My speedtimer leaves marks.
