After all this time, I still come back and watch this video every now and again. It's a fantastic video! It's the video that introduced me to this watch and made me buy it. I absolutely love this watch! It is still my favorite watch in my collection.
Love the Shogun. Its lighter weight is a refreshing change. This is a lovely everyday piece on either strap or bracelet. I have the Zimbe and it’s mind blowing in the looks and feel department. The whole package is a home run IMHO.
One month ago I bought the SBDC029 SEIKO Shogun Titanium for 900 $. This is my first automatic watch and I have been wearing it every day. I love this piece of art
That a pretty good deal for shogun! I brought mine for 950 about 6 months ago, exact same model as yours, and it’s taken a lit of my wrist time. I’m thinking of upgrading to a sapphire crystal and maybe a ceramic bezel insert, if i can find one. But a very nice watch over all, love how lightweight titanium is.
Very nice sharp angles on this Seiko titanium , I have the first addition Shogun SBDC007 (same watch)and been happy with it, very comfortable, I think the fineness of the bracelet links help with the comfort factor also. It wears smaller on wrist than you would think & the bezel is 42mm on digital caliper, perfect on my 7 inch wrist, but it’s not getting much wrist time as have just got a Omega 2254
Just sold mine, upgraded to MM300 (from a lightweight to a heavyweight!). The shogun was extremely comfortable and great on a decent rubber strap (Didn't use the Seiko one that came with it though). The titanium bracelet was pretty ordinary but was comfortable. Also I missed the shine of stainless, the titanium is pretty flat.
My favorite Sekio watch, and my everyday wear... Of course, I added a sapphire crystal, s/s chapter ring and Marine master clasp. Also, prefer the 007 w/ the cursive "Automatic".
I'd like to find something that looks like the Orient Mako USA 2 White dial but with a higher level fit and finish with the case and bracelet. I love the way it looks with that black outlined stick indices, the black bezel with the white dial, the black hands and the day date complication. Pretty much everything about it. I just think the case and bracelet are pretty underwhelming. Any suggestions around 500ish?
Yup... i really like the watch but it’s too big ... my wrist is 16.5cm... i tried this watch many times... still too big, can’t deny it... especially with the bracelet
Shogun SDC029 or Baby Marine Master SBDC061? Which should i get?? Or should I splurge and just go for the Marine Master 300? I want something around 1k, but if it's really a huge difference with the Marine master it might be worth it.. maybe... Please help!
Do they make a green version? I love the green sumo, but they're too big n heavy. I love titanium for that reason. My sarx055 disappears on wrist because it is so light.
Love seikos but can't stand the luminous doesn't last thru the night. I since have been a Luminox fan and the higher end with safire crystal and trinium type markers is so nice.
You and me both. But unfortunately we live in the "huge watch" era. Rob disagrees with me, but since I started paying attention to watches 15 years ago or so, all I've seen is the sizes getting bigger and bigger. Smaller watches are still around, but way less prevalent than they used to be. It's silly, but it's the way things are.
Put a sapphire crystal on it a month ago and realized today that it doesn’t fit perfectly because of the stiff links. Put on a NATO and now it’s perfect.
I have both and don't think I would. The Mido has a reduced beat rate in exchange for a longer PR. It's more difficult to adjust and service the modified ETA. I like the monster hands and lume better on the Seiko. The Mido does not have a screw-down caseback. The titanium screws in the Mido bracelet are a weak point and often break when sizing the watch. The Mido does not have drilled lugs. My Shogun runs +1 while my Ocean Star titanium runs -8. I will give the Mido points for sapphire and its fantastic adjustable clasp. It's miles better than Seiko's hardlex and stamped clasp.
No ones going to mention how poorly the end links are fitted around the lugs and case? Talk about not having a near seamless transition between bracelet and watch. It’s amateur hour over at Seiko. Always has been.
