Amazing review and definitely the first one out there! I hate to admit but I might have mislead you, my apologies. When you asked about the black brown dial I had denied it, but when I do shine a very bright light on it, it does in fact have a brown reflection. I hadn't noticed it until you pointed it out in this video! Solly! Again wonderful review and keep them coming :) I'd be interested in some of the white enamelled dials (SARD007 SARX027 SARW011) but no moola for one now.
I have the same watch, but with the Presage logo on the Dial (SSA357J1). It´s a very, very beatifull and special watch. For it´s price, it´s almost unbelivable. So much atention on the details, stunning bracelet, safira, the polish hands and inserts on the dial. I love this watch. Congrats for the review. Amazing!
Man, you could make an entire watch collection from Seikos and you'd have tons of choices in every watch segment. Crazy how they make so many strong products at affordable prices.
Hey Miniwatch, NICE Vid! I've been away from watch channels on RU-vid for a while now, and just came back to yours - and wow! ... Even better intro's and endings! Very arty and like your candid style. Pls focus on focusing when up-close since I want to see too - just wanted to mention.. Some really cool S5 mods and straps!!! And, btw, you're absolutely right about the Big Picture moving forward in 2017: Don't Worry, Be Happy is the winningest strategy 'cause it creates a win-wiN-WIN that's as solid and beautiful as the nicest watches in the world. Happy watch wearing!
I think this watch is an SRP529J (JDM version is SARY057) with an open heart and a brown dial. I have the SRP529J and it's a great bargain -- feels like a beefier Rolex Explorer 1 ref#214270 (39mm version).
Hi Curt, I bought it Hong Kong for $2,492 (hkd) which is about $320 (usd). I think it can be had for under $300 on amazon. The 055 is also nice but the white dial looked huge on my wrist. Cheers.
Do you know what is the difference between this one and the SSA357J1, ive got it and the only difference i can spot is that it says presage on the dail.
Crisis in the pants! Lol... Great review... And yes very nice watch... I do have doubts about an oversized dress watch though... In office environment ... Might be over doing it if you know what I mean...
Hi there Curt, I have a new watch. One word : TUNA Seiko SBBN017 + SBBN15 bracelet, arrived earlier this month. I like it very very very very much. ^^ If you can get your hands on a 300m Tuna, do a review. Because of the small lug to lug, it fits smaller wrist as well. I have 6.75 wrist. keep up the good work.
I want to. There are so many shiny things I want to get my hands on. It's all about what I can afford at the time and what is on sale. For now. If I decide to do patreon (that stressed me out), I might let the crowd fund reviews from time to time. Not sure yet. Thanks for the suggestion, man!
minitwatch just do it, there is no harm in having patreon. it's for the people to decide if they want to or not. PS: you can also borrow a tuna to do a review. But then you will want one for yourself, mhh. Forget what I said. 😁
Soemthing to think about. I probably will do it. I have to. What stresses me out is how to make it worth everyone's while. I'll probably make a video about it asking people for their opinions. How about you let me borrow yours :D jk jk jk. I know I'll want one. They are magnificent!
@minitwatch AHhahahaah this is the second time I arrive on this channel. I don't even remember what was the watch... but I've been amazed by the way you play with your voice and the "stupid" jokes with different "characters". I've recognized you at the first sentence!! And not from your hand lines!!!🤣 I do exactly the same. So I cannot write congratulations because I think people that does this are brilliant, funny and so, probably, more intelligent than average! (Just done!) 😂 But probably you'll enjoy to know you're are not alone on the planet and someone understand you! hahahahahhahahahah
«You spin up the spinner and it gets the rotor going and the movementwill start to move around ...» (1:28-) - NOT EXACTLY, DUDE. It’s more like this: You either wind up its main spring manually, by turning the crown screw a few times, or you wag it gently in your hand ten or twenty times. Or you just put it on your wrist and wait for it to go. Even the slightest movement of the hand will make the rotor turn and wind the mainspring.
Sweet review! Love the JDM models. Especially liking the finish on that bracelet. Any chance you could review the Steinhart Dual Time (GMT) Pepsi colorway anytime soon? Big ask, I know, since I don't think you have that one (yet?), but a guy can hope. ;)
Probably not anytime soon. As it stands, this channel is funding the watches with adsense and affiliate links. It's growing, though and I would love to do so. I adore my OVM so I'm certain I would feel the same about the their GMT models. People keep telling me to do Patreon to help fund reviews but I'm not sure how I feel about that. Thanks, Ted!
My wrists are 6.5" as well. Wish there were more reviews on this watch. In this review you seem to gravitate towards the SARY over the SARB. In your follow up video on the 033 you spoke of your love for it. I'm curious which of the two watches you would choose if given the choice? Also any knowledge on the quality and reliability of the sary movement vs the 6R15c in the carb. I own a Sarb065 with a 6R15c and love it. any noticeable quality difference between the two? Thank you for the quality review work.
It is most definitely something that he would wear. Every time he would bitch-slap someone he would be like *whpsh!* "Oh I am so SARY your face got in the way of my fist".
i was looking for tag open heart, Hamilton the jazzmaster open heart etc... All ugly but seiko WOW. And good mov and wuality for the money. The other brands are rip; off.
