Talk about zero ingenuity! But I guess it's their right, as it's their design. Seiko introduced two new watches based on the old Seiko "Fifty-Fathoms" but there really was no ingenuity or design change. Just a slap and sell job.
But, you can still see and buy if you like here!

Also, two new Presage models!

And, lastly, get them while they last. . . discontinued SRPK41

I thought the reference would be they had improved it, like an Ali Express watch. Aka adding a proper bracelet, screw down crown and sapphire crystal 😊

@CaptRohmer 28 дней назад

Same😂

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

LOLOL. I guess I can see where you get that idea.

I was looking for a reason to buy another Seiko. I'm still looking.

@commandZee 28 дней назад

I don't mind that new "Fifty-Fathoms" Seiko 5, but I'd prefer if the Islander version if there was one, because it would have a better bracelet, screw down crown, and sapphire crystal.

@adk7962 28 дней назад

I commented on Jody’s Channel stating I must be a sheep because I literally like every reissue Seiko puts out. But that Presage is WAY better. But come on Seiko. I get that you don’t put sapphire on your sub $400, but this one is nearly $600. Oh well. Thanks for showing them to us and as always, the most honest man in the watch game, Marc. 👍🏼

@brianmccord7387 28 дней назад

It also has hollow end links and a flimsy clasp and a fixed bezel designed like a ratcheting bezel. It’s so frustrating.

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

thank you!

@rickjason215 28 дней назад

I won’t buy a watch without a sapphire crystal.

@BAF605 28 дней назад

seconds ago I'm a Seiko fanboy too but the glory days are gone. They are pulling AlI Express tricks but not Ali prices. I haven't bought a Seiko in a while and I only look at Prospex models with a good discount now. I gave up on Seiko 5 ages ago. Orient and Citizen both are beating them in the 5 price range.

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

I always liked that weekends were differentiated from the weekdays by blue and red. I wish all watch manufacturers would incorporate this feature.

@brianmccord7387 27 дней назад

If you get one of the Seiko watches intended for the Arabian peninsula market, the Fridays are actually in red in English and Arabic

@JM.TheComposer 28 дней назад

I would buy a Seiko 5 if they put in sapphire crystals and better bracelets. Wait a minute, I should just get an Islander lol.

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

@markusbe.musicfromtheunder2497 28 дней назад

Beautiful watches. I own several Seiko watches (old and new and mostly higher end ones) but to be honest these days.... I MUCH RATHER BUY AN ISLANDER (own several) . Clearly they much better values and the quality equal. Thank you Marc,

@jaysterling26 27 дней назад

Still waiting for an Islander SNKL..

@theshadowman1398 27 дней назад

I am utterly annoyed by the Seiko 5KX case (they use it for collaborations left, right and centre). That's why I stay away from that line as far as possible. I am only in one single segment of seiko. And that's the Prospex line and am very comfortable there.

@dank5015 28 дней назад

That's funny you popped on the screen in a mini video saying you would have done the same thing as I was thinking it, and pondering if I would buy it.

@theenavybluemonster 15 дней назад

The new 55 fathoms are great looking. And they hack and handwind now! Glad they did them.

@johnuythoven5823 28 дней назад

Really like that Greenport. Being from Long Island we used to go to Claudio’s in Greenport 2 or 3 times a summer. May have to pick one up when money isn’t so tight.

@knutjunker2019 27 дней назад

Still love my original Seiko 5 snzh53 fiftyfive fathoms in blue. A wonderful watch.

@zambonidriver42 28 дней назад

Marc, speaking of half a drawer, I’d like to see a Seiko collection video. I saw your video on your cabinet. But that wasn’t enough. Grab a chair, sit down and go through your Seiko collection.

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

thanks!

@huckleberry12 28 дней назад

$600 for a non chronograph, non day watch that doesn't have sapphire is crazy. seiko lost their minds.

@HarshilPandit 28 дней назад

Seikos have such great designs that are held back by the meh specs

@exkal215 27 дней назад

I’m hoping you have or are going to make a two-tone bracelet for that srpk99. I think it would look great together. If you have it, I’ll pick both up. Thanks for sharing.

@thetattedpharmacist3215 28 дней назад

I just got the SRPK97. I love the original but the originals are now around $400 Australian in my market on grey sites. I got my new one for $399AUD from my favourite local online AD, so for the same price I’d rather the new one with the better movement and support ADs rather than grey market when I can!

@IkeThermite 28 дней назад

Mark, do you have a bracelet that will fit the SNZH? I’d love to get mine on steel. I bought it used on rubber, so I don’t even have the sub-par original bracelet

@ThePookaHarvey 27 дней назад

Love the Pressage. Not with a hardlex crystal though. Crazy that Seiko is still doing this at that price range.

@FT4Freedom 27 дней назад

I did buy a Seiko recently. The SNE569. But I got it new for $299, about $150 below street.

@slaphead2965 28 дней назад

Lol I disagree. Seiko prices have ballooned since RU-vid reviewers became so popular. AliExpress has some great watch companies like San Martin, Cronos and Baltany. However, San Martin prices have steadily crept up. Great video btw 👍

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

Fair enough!

@markcoveryourassets 25 дней назад

Thanks for the video. Nice case design. I extremely dislike the triangular hands they insist on putting on so many of their higher end watches. Alpha style hands would even be an improvement. Still admire many of their other designs. When I think dive watch, I think Rolex or Seiko.

@tdugong 28 дней назад

I think I'll just buy the old one, swap the movement to a NH36, the hardlex to a sapphire and an aftermarket bracelet.

@jessebechtold2973 19 дней назад

Honestly quite like the looks of this, I just wish it was 20 bar water resistance as it’s a dive or dive style watch

@markhagan3653 7 дней назад

I don't see what's wrong with a refresh; move the crown, add hacking and change dial graphics. Maybe doesn't justify the price but it's a nice watch. I agree with many others though, I would spend the same money on a watch with better specs. Loving the speedtimer I bought for my wife recently :)

@stereoslime 27 дней назад

No collar in my Style60s. Just split pins. But that’s the previous version (SRPG05J1).

@onoff5604 28 дней назад

This style of 'sword' hand I think is much much more legibile than the standard skx/turtle hand style (probably better lume than the too-narrow-arrow). Nice looking design...another huge watch. This in 34-38mm at 10mm thick would be nice.

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

I agree there.

@WatchAddictionReviews 27 дней назад

The 5ks is the K-car of the watch world. Also will you get new stock of the Citizen NB6021-17E or are you done selling that watch?

@johanvandersandt8904 28 дней назад

Im sorry but the old one looks better. The date window seems less cramped and aligned. I am sure it is a great watch but like I said on Miguel's channel, I just don't think Seiko brings enough to the table to justify the price on these.

@Simple_Jack82 19 дней назад

I like it and would buy it...for $265.00 or less.

@bani_niba 28 дней назад

I guess I don't care that it's an Aliexpress-type homage. The Fifty Fathoms type of hands and indices are so beautiful, functional and graceful, they should be copied more often. It's infuriating to me that the less aesthetic Submariner style hands/indices is what you see everywhere.

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

Still a gorgeous watch, I agree with you there.

@SMc-in5bc 27 дней назад

@JohnBuckmaster-sw3wm 27 дней назад

@onoff5604 28 дней назад

60's style is so gorgious...great date. if only the bezel turned like the original chrono....and should be much thinner with no exhibition caseback would be great.

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

That date is cool no doubt.

@HomerIncognito 28 дней назад

It's better to have that design available again, and even better that it's not grey market. Price increase isn't great though.

@michaelj8793 28 дней назад

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

Gold centerlinks? Cool.

@bigwangmark 28 дней назад

I have heard you say a few time in different videos that presage never go on sale but they do everywhere else in the world so why not in your store? Got a few presage watches in the collection and they all were bought at around 50% off rrp. Just seems odd you don't.

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

Authorized retailers cannot put them on sale.

@brianmccord7387 28 дней назад

Marc, you once said that watch nerds who complain about Seiko's lousy specs (which are routinely beaten by actual Ali watches) are not Seiko's target demographic. Who is? Does a Macy's customer walk in and buy this enough that they can continue this cynical approach to watchmaking for years to come?

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

Normal, everyday people who don't spec shop. You, my friend, are in the HUGE minority. Do you actually think the layperson shops on Ali? Absolutely NOT.

@stevenwymor1398 28 дней назад

The old SNZH ran on the 7S36 not the 7S26, not like it really made a difference though. 😉

@islandwatch 28 дней назад

nice, thanks for the correction. You are totally correct.

@FT4Freedom 27 дней назад

This is one of the nicer Fathoms versions.

@niksoncutts 28 дней назад

@punishedchris8576 27 дней назад

If my Grand Seiko's are anything to guy by then Seiko's lume just isn't as good as It once was. My SBGX117 (8 years old) outshines any watch I've every had and glows all night, a beautiful dark green. My two year old SBGX339's lume pales in comparison, it's not even as good a some of my much less expensive watches, very dissapointed with it. Maybe they've changed the formula or how much they apply, they are also different shades of green.

@jayjay9932 28 дней назад

Inspite of the comment of Seiko's "laziness" or "cash grab" attitude, I favor the new Seiko 5 over the FFF model because it. is more original than the later though I can't scape the fact I'm gravitated towards the Seiko FFF for its over all aesthetics.Yeah watch enthusiast's issues, I know.

Seiko has lost the plot. They're basically just mall watches, now. The days of making good value proposition watches for enthusiasts are long gone. There's really no reason to bother with them, now.
