Big thanks to Seba at Lucidos for showing how a real AD experience should be. Whether is Seiko or Rolex…..well let’s be honest, Rolex gets the VIP. Lol www.lucidojewelry.com
One month ago I bought the SBDC029 SEIKO Shogun Titanium with the titanium bracelet for 900 $. This is my first automatic watch and I have been wearing it every day. I love this piece of art
I was just randomly watching seiko watch videos and came across this! I like the black dial but you've made a great case for the white dial. Photos make it look hard to read but that lume is amazing.
Love the shogun white dial but price is not justifiable! Over here in Malaysia, I can get it for 950 USD. Waiting for it to drop a bit to consider the purchase.
I really like the aesthetics of this newest Shogun, but the 6r movement isn't commensurate with the watch and it's pricing. Seiko really has to come up with something akin to the eta 2824 and the sw200. I have one 6r watch and that's enough for this cowboy 🤠.
They do on grand seiko. Ceramic is bad on an actual tool watch as it can shatter. These bezel inserts can dent or scratch, but never crack. And are much easier and less costly to replace than ceramic. This isn’t a Sub or a seadweller. It’s for people who don’t ask Reddit if it’s ok to shower in a a diver watch. The Shogun is cool because it is utilitarian and ditches the stale “retro” trend present at all levels of the watch market stratum.
My Favorite Seiko, i've been wanting to pull the trigger on one for a while. Congrats on getting one, i'm talking to my AD ...we haven't come to terms...:)
I have my eye on it too but want to wait and purchase one secondhand. My watch collection tends to be fluid and I don't want to lose my shirt if I do decide to flip it sometime in the future. That being said, I believe this model is a future classic!
You forgot the term blasphemous rip off. For your money you can do much much better. There are 100s of swiss watches that are not disposable for less money. Do your research.
@@speedzero7478 yes I 100% agree with you and that's why this watch is not a good choice. For your money you can buy something else. You missed my point.
At 7:59 you say about the Seiko; "obviously, it's no Seamaster, no, it doesn't compete with it". Then you compare it to the Omega:-D Can you explain why you feel it is not a competitor to the Seamaster. Most of my Omega watches were +- 4 to 6 s/d. My Planet Ocean 8500 ran less than 1 s/m. Most of my 6R35, 6R15 and 4R3X Seiko watches run +- 4 to 6 s/d with a few within +- 2 s/d. Both brands have 3 hands, date window and great looks. With the Seiko you can get both new Shoguns and several new Sumo watches for less than a Seamaster. You are right the Omega does not compete with the Seiko. Keep up the good work making your informative watch videos.
@Lee yeah I'm in the UK, the dollar price was a translation of the pound sterling price at time of posting. It is a nice watch, just a little large in my opinion.
I like it but you are paying at least $400-500 USD for "Seiko" on dial. I have a full titanium watch (head/bracelet) with a swiss Sellita and surface hardening that I got on Kickstarter for about $500 USD.
Looks A LOT like my $300 Samurai. I could see sapphire, movement, strap, and titanium upgrades maybe doubling the price, but 4x more seems like a stretch. It's a beauty though!
How do they justify that price for a 6R35 movement? To me, this is overpriced by about $400-500. The days of Seiko providing good value seem to be over.
Seiko has been raising their prices and lowering their quality for years. SO overpriced. Anyone thinking about spending that kind of money on that watch should shop around and check what the competitors are offering for the same money. They'll forget about the Seiko real fast. I really love that minute hand though.
