*PRICE MM200 $1050 USD vs NEW MMR ~$1200 USD*

@Bennie_Bee6 3 года назад

Great video again. Really interesting to see the difference in Lume duration with the older MM performing better. I think the MMR is still the pick due to the 'perfect' proportions! Steel bezel SPB185 still rocks for me. Amazing alternative to a Rolex Explorer 2...plus $8k change to buy more watches!!

@14981fc 3 года назад

I LOVE how you measured the inner bezel (dial) size of them, it's a rare measurement that is difficult if not impossible to find for comparison purposes. The "secret measurement" of bezel actual size is also extremely important (more so than the case size) but most of the manufacturers just leave that out. The lume alone would be the deal-breaker in this comparison imo, thank you

@1cY94 Год назад

Agree, its rare to see in reviews but its makes a big difference, so its quite strange imo

@JoseAntonioBlancodeCordova 3 года назад

I like the old one.

@robliu1178 3 года назад

Great comparison of various dimensions versus older MM200 models! Highly appreciated!

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

Glad you liked it!

@e28forever30 3 года назад

I’ll take the old one. Bad lume is a deal killer for me, I am used to great lume from my Sumo, so I won’t be downgrading,. Also, I love the color of the old lume better. The SPB 077 looks great.

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

It sure does

@JP-rd9bt Год назад

@@EscapementWatch The old MM200 can be had for $500 in the pre-owned market. Amazing value preposition.

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

Quick 5min comparison on the first and second gen MM200. What I forgot to mention: on the 1st gen MM200 the 9 and 6 indices tapers while on the new MMR they are square. The MMR has a sharper 12 indices and a HALF LUME pip at 3 beside Date window. While MM200 doesn't have this extra lume marker. Which do you like better the more true to form first gen? or the more modern 2nd gen??? -Falling 😁

@kikomachine8276 3 года назад

The 2nd gen is much closer to the MM300. The 2nd gen looks more of a tool watch while the 1st gen is a bit on the dressier look. 187 for the win! 😁👍

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

The first gen is closest to the original 6215 first Seiko with the 4:00 crown and first professional Seiko dive watch so it's pretty important but people call it the mm200 even though it technically is not really a marine master. But the Marine master that came after it took inspiration from it.

@RedwoodAggie 3 года назад

Very interesting! There are more changes there than I realized. I think most are good, though I think a date frame would have been nice. I'm sure that can be debated both ways though.

@petermull6488 3 года назад

P.S. 35 years with a Seiko automatic Dive watch on my wrist, 24/7, and I’m still only my third one ! I’ve worn it surfing 3-4 days a week all over the world ... if Timex can “take a licking and keep on ticking” Seiko can Take a Drowning and Keep On Pounding!!! 😎

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

Well said!

@mrpipspoppersv9093 3 года назад

I have the green dial one in my collection and love it. The old one is 44mm but wears like a 42mm the new one is 42mm but wears like a 40mm. Thanks for comparing them

@rosco8166 3 года назад

Awesome video, I've always preferred the look and shape of the older model, plus the lume next to 3 o'clock on the new model just upsets my OCD 😂. Keep up the top work mate. Regards Rosco

Just picked up the 077. Such a solid piece.

@alancasari5958 3 года назад

Nice comparison FT. A few days I bought the old one with the bluish bezel and silicone strap for the equivalent of $US 440 new. The new SBDC 185 &187 are available here for $US1330 and look very nice per photo's and video reviews but I could't justify paying nearly $900 more for the obvious differences between the old and new. I was also thinking that if I did get the new one I will still as I am now most likely to be lusting for the MM300 with it's dna snd superior movement which I can obtain new for around $2k. So for now the old one can fill that void. But for those who don't care for the MM300, the new one even at full price would be a nice choice. Oh the lume was still going strong after several hrs while my turtles were well faded.

@kikomachine8276 3 года назад

@TheAndyMaan 3 года назад

I'm looking these new MMR's, still a little too big for my little wrists so I'd rather pick up the new 6rMas. I like that they put a little bit of lume next to the date window on the MMR though. I think the blue dial and stainless bezel together would be the best look personally.

@kbeightyseven1783 9 месяцев назад

The mm200r is the goldilocks watch in seikos line up, I have the spb207 and it is stunning

@uuusi-7349-gk 3 года назад

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

I try! still have about 20 old uploaded vids that will air in the next couple months but yes I'm getting better!

@mariosimas 3 года назад

i´ve seen the SPB187 live. It exudes quality. What a beautiful watch. The blue is a little subdued compared with the SPB083J1 "Great Blue Hole"

@petermull6488 3 года назад

Thanks for the great side by side review, just yday I was hoping someone out there would do that. The new one looks great but I think the Blue Hole is a classic, and I have been torn about getting one, or the new one. I’ve worn a Seiko automatic everyday since I graduated college and could afford one. 35 plus years, and the SKX size and shape is absolutely perfect, the old now new turtle is just too big and bulky... Big difference now is the lack of a chapter ring, I can’t imagine that, what are your impressions on that?

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

lack of chapter ring is nice as its printed on the dial now. with a nice SS brushed metal rim around the dial.

@alisuperhornet 3 года назад

I have that exact green dial version with the gold accents...not sure if I should get the new release

@atrixmike9049 3 года назад

Great comparison video! How did you get the crystal measurement on the MM42? Was the crystal removed?

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

no not removed. just from the top. Its not the best but pretty accurate with seikos.

@jhonsenliandi1 3 года назад

plizzz compare 62mas 2020 limited blue dial & MM200 2020 blue dial,,,thanks a lot

@marcelodietrich8674 3 года назад

What are your thoughts on the bracelets while wearing the watches? My MM200 feels & looks so much heavier with the bracelet, so I wear her on a silicone strap. When I tried on the MMR - not fitted, however - she was as perfect as possible. I truly love the metal bezel iteration. Very well done video, man! Brilliant effects, and quick & unopinionated review, while being very informative. Wonderful production value, too! Subscribed!

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

you mean wearing bracelets and a watch same time same arm? if so that's not my thing. :)

@drbobsnightmare2521 Год назад

Why do I want them both, when I already have an MM300? I must be insane.

@rony7758 3 года назад

The newer seiko doesnt use frame on the dial any more. I think it is the biggest point that makes the new mm200 dan 62mas look nicer.

@CocoKoi321 3 года назад

Youre legit the best seiko reviewer I cant believe how far you've gotten ❤ Also the new one better in every way for us smaller wrists but how can old one have better lume? Lol and wish me one had a lined day window like the old one wtf XD it's better lined if you dont have a cyclops Love it being smaller tho

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

Thanks! a lot of reviewers do Seiko because its popular...and pretend to like it. I do Seiko's because I love them. I think it comes through in the videos. The new lume is applied differently looks like there is a 3D bubble effect and its applied more thin.

@maddingo 3 года назад

I've got a 8" wrist I just got a SPB105 (orig mm200 size)... I've got no regerts.. the green dial on the 105 is amazing.. I do if I'm honest wish my 105 have the mm300 style hands however.. other than that which isn't really a big deal... I am loving my new watch.

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

Very nice!

@dinoc Год назад

the same calendar date window problem seen in my Seiko MM200, not centered in the middle, I see the same problem here with MM200R, what is wrong with Seiko, I had 2 MM200 and both had the same date window problem, numbers not centered in the middle of the date window

@mariosimas 3 года назад

I will go for the "Great Blue Hole" SPB083J1

@jmdelapaz Год назад

Are the bracelets interchangeable?

@alisuperhornet 3 года назад

They should have kept the frame around the date window

@nsjong 3 года назад

Instead they put a hideous marker on the minute track at 3, makes no sense at all in terms of design symmetry, lol

@speedwolf5212 3 года назад

I saw an ebay listing mention that, I don’t believe it’s true. They’re still listed on Seiko’s website, and still sold at plenty of retailers

@janreeves5443 3 года назад

@@speedwolf5212 the fact that a Seiko model can still be purchased new should not be taken as evidence that the item is still being produced. Point in fact - Seiko has not produced a SKX for ages and you can still find new ones for sale even I. Amazon. Other examples are the sarb035, 017 and even the old model Sumo. Seiko sells a lot of watches and it takes a while to sell the old inventory.

@@janreeves5443 the hands just weren't well received, particularly on the tuna because many preferred the previous traditional style. I didn't like thay handset at first, but I'm ok with them now, though that particular tuna has too many changes for my liking, especially the polished shroud.
