Seiko Samurai Watch Review - The Shadow Samurai! 

Wtf, you got jumped? Where do you live? Did they have guns? Was it one guy or multiple?

@@user-go9tc3cw4b I live in the Netherlands, really safe and nice country for the most part, it was 5 immigrant teens with knives, guns are extremely illegal here. I was walking home from the train station (1 street - 5m walk) to my home the day after my bday and these guys apparently followed me the whole street down and then jumped me. They snagged my Sony xm3 headphones and my samurai (which I only had for 6months :c) and they demanded my phone. I kept refusing and then one guy stuck his knife point in my arm to try and make me give them my phone which was in my pocket. I refused and they ran. It's a very very specific and small part of the population here (we have a very multicultural population) that terrorize the rest of us. Real scum. Usually under 18yo which around here makes you immune for serious repercussions even if you were to murder someone. I spend more than 6 hundos on those 2 items and they can't possibly get more than half that. Split by five they didn't even earn a hundred bucks and that is how little morals these guys have. Robbery with assault for a quick buck.

@@Canto00 Shit, that's unlucky dude. I always thought the Netherlands was really safe but I guess nowhere is perfect. At least you didn't get seriously hurt. Did you look online to see if they are trying to offload it on eBay? Also you should check local pawn shops to see if they tried to sell it there. If you can prove its urs (maybe you got a photo with the serial number or something) than the pawn shop or eBay have to give it to you. At least thats how it works over here in Australia.

@@user-go9tc3cw4b yeah that's a good point. I've been checking the Dutch version of ebay but no luck so far and now it's been so long that there's little chance of me recovering the items. But at least they did not take more from me. Like my phone, backpack or new shoes I had on.

@@Canto00 that's true at least it was only ur watch and headphones. Hope you find your stuff.

Yep this edc shit is getting out of hand for me first knifes then sunglasses now on to the next endless addiction of watches

Will do and much appreciated! Cheers brother! 🍻

@@bevelwerks my pleasure, keep up the great work, starting off is never easy, stick at it, you are good.

Peter E Appreciate you taking the time to comment and subbing! Thanks very much for the support!

Nice watch and great upgrade with the sapphire!

@Cumbias Tarantella I don’t know, but they shipped superfast to Europe from Singapore!

It's like getting a tattoo, you think it's cool but it's really just a clown upgrade.

Hi Jamal! I think size is absolutely a valid concern with this watch unfortunately. For a 6.5" wrist, I think it will wear fairly large unless you happen to have a wrist that is more flat than round if that makes sense. That said, I definitely recommend heading into a store/dealer to try it on in person (if you can safely do it of course during these times). If thats not possible and you're still considering, you may think about making a paper "cutout" of the watch to get a sense of size. I've had friends do it in the past where they didn't have the option to try on a watch prior to purchase (off the internet). Good luck!.. Hope if the Seiko doesn't work out that you find something you can love just as much. Be well and cheers!

So stick with your little girl watches, it's ok to like little girl watches.

I think you’d find this watch would fit very well on an 8 inch wrist!

Thanks Nino! It’s definitely a nice piece and an upgrade to look forward to. What type of Orient do you own? One of my first watches, which I still own to this day, is the Orient CEX0R001D... and I swear of all the pieces I own, it gets by far the most compliments. Thanks again for taking time to comment and share your thoughts! Cheers!

Personally, it's value versus aesthetics. I think regular Samurai's look better as they come in traditional/versatile colours, whereas the King Samurai only comes in vibrant colours. The King Samurai is better value on the used market though -- they can go for cheap. It's all things to weigh. Colours, cyclops, value, specifications, etc. What matters most to you?

Yes. It's Iso certified.

Bezel is aluminum! Though I believe you can get after market ceramic inserts!

@@bevelwerks thanks!

even replicas of Rolex have sapphire crystal

Hoje a SEIKO produz seus relógios ou no Japão, Malásia ou Cingapura. Mas não existe diferença de qualidades entre eles...

Looking at Seiko’s current collection I agree that this definitely is a distinctly different design from the rest of their lineup - that said, I do think it’s very much a dive watch with its rotating bezel and unique handset. Then again, if you consider a Rolex submariner or Omega seamaster a “dress” watch, then definitely could see the perspective you’re coming from.

And I totally get that, it’s something I had to come to terms with in my review. I can forgive it a bit on a divers watch but if this had been 40 or even 42 it might have been a much more successful piece imo. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

get bigger wrists you girl, 44 is perfect for the average wrist.

Looks good on my 7 1/2” wrist

Not at all, you have to try it before saying anything.

I have a small wrist and I think it looks good.
