The blue shade looks different under different lighting. At home it’s dark and under the sun it’s lighter...absolutely gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@dasbaniprasad 3 года назад

Been using this watch over the past 3 months. I am a professional Mariner and I bought the JDM model in Japan. Can’t begin to describe the beauty of the dial. My watch gains about 6 seconds daily, and this has been more or less steady when I was using it every day on the ship, and now since the past 3 weeks when I am home.

HOLY NINE COWS!! i just got this watch today. I can't even put in proper words how beautiful this dial is... I don't know what to say... the way the dial reflects and changes tones and has an almost iridescent or pearlescent looks in some lighting situations. I'm having trouble explaining it, because it has to be seen to be appreciated. I was also so pleased to see the Manta Rays are subtle enough to blend in and not be noticed that easily at quick glance... but visible enough even to be seen when you stare at low light levels. Also, the writting on the dial looks almost applied (or embossed) instead of printed. Seiko has really outdone themselves on this dial!

@LVGRCCrawlers 3 года назад

I’m speechless as well. It’s so hard to explain. You just see it in person to admire that dial. It’s my Christmas present and I keep opening box to admire it lol I can’t put it down. Hopefully the wife didn’t catch me 😂 😆

@paranormalskeptic3893 3 года назад

It actually IS a King Samurai. Any samurai or turtle that upgrades to a sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel gets the KING distinction.

@EscapementWatch 3 года назад

I don't think those upgrades grant the word king...as the first king turtles had waffle dials. King should have the waffle dial! this watch is a save the ocean...but upgraded. the manta rays are its key definition. but you may call it whatever you want of course.

I just impulse-bought a watch..been thinking about a rugged, 20 bar, sports watch. For our grandson, he did ok in school, soccer, good kid too. Quartz, auto ok..but wasnt sure what to get..was always leaning seiko or citizen. Leaning towards a beauty or a cool navy seal watch. Hit three retail stores today..i wasnt fooling around..walked out the first quickly, didnt see what i liked. 2nd store, a nationally known mall jewelery store, had two watches il liked price too high. 3rd store, big selection, 100s of watches on display. SPOTTED THIS BLUE MANTA RIGHT AWAY!! The clerk gave me a discount. BAM! Done! It was a no - brainer. Brought it home, grandson was in our pool i said here take this, its yours. It was too big..but he liked it. GOOD! i took the tags off and told him dip it in the pool, thats what its for..a watch that can take an accidental plunge. He dont care about the erratic movement or grainy crown action.. but the crown sealed up against the water allright. He left 2 hours later..still no fog inside the crystal. Found out i had a sapphire crystal as soon as he lifted it out of the water. Beads on the crystal..Nice! The bracelet is easy to adjust..push pins with the direction arrows are nice. Took out two links for him, resized the clasp adjustor, and he was styling. I was more excited to give him this beauty..he doesnt have a clue what a neat watch he just got

@canonyeo4286 3 года назад

I have both the manta ray and the white waffle. They are both King Samurai. All these which came in sapphire glass and ceramic bezel, like the turtle, are categorised as king. They have the 4r35 Movement, not, 6r35. Both my king Samurai and king turtle gives me about average + 7 spd. I collect them for fun, so it's ok. Anyway, it can be easily regulated, so, not a problem. All mine don't have any problem with the crown, and, do aligned properly. Anyway, it can be easily fixed. No sweat. I also have small wrist, so l wear them with 22/18 straps, rubber or leather. For the rubber strap, l use the Hirsh Urban natural rubber. For the leather, l use either the fine bull leather by Official Time, or, the tougher shell cordovan by Rios. It depends on how l want to enjoy and present them. I bought the 33k1 for $400 and 37k1 for $370 (37% discount). How much is the zelos? I have a few 6r35. As it has a longer power reserve, l wind them longer. If l wind them before l put them to rest for the night, l get less than 5 spd. Anyhow, it can be easily regulated, so no sweat again. For precision and fine finishing, l wear my GS. I enjoy all my watches with straps, so again, no complaints on the bracelet. I don't get serious with my watches. I prefer to have fun. After all, it's a hobby.

I figured the 6r35 would have major isochronism problems. All they do is make the winding spring slimmer and jam more of it into the winding barrel which equals a longer, but more uneven unwind. ETA powermatic is similar. I prefer 40/45 hour power reserve myself.

Compared to standard samurai. They've made the crown smaller and changed the case & crown gaurds to accommodate. Easy to see if you do a direct visual comparison. Clean the threads and it'll probably be smooth, I did it with mine, added a tiny bit of lubricant and wow, what a diff.

Thanks for video! I have a Citizen diver BN0191-80L, but want an automatic diver. And I find the Seiko SRPE33K1 to be an awesome watch, much nicer look than my Citizen. They are very much the same size, as well bezel size and lug to lug distance. But even the Citizen which is an Eco drive, is substantial on the wrist. I really feel I carry the watch on the wrist. It weighs ~ 158g according to my kitchen scale. But that is with a few links removed to fit my 6,7 inch wrist. I think 177g was reported unadjusted. This Seiko is even heavier, but 205g is with no link removed so it will be a bit lighter with the bracelet adjusted to my wrist. I guess it will be approximately 185g or so. Still a substantial watch on the wrist. Will I perceive it too heavy? I don't know. But it really looks awesome!

Good looking hefty watch. Don’t know if I like the Manta Rays on the dial.

I had a mantra turtle Briefly before I returned it for a refund. Yes the chapter ring doesn't line up. The Cyclops don't one up the finishing is rough and it's top heavy even on a bracelet. But I knew all that. I liked the way the dial looked right? No. It's awful in real life. There's too much black in the background so that the rays is only visible at very very specific angle and super bright sunlight that's not reflecting on the non ar treated glass.........It's a mess. Horrible returned. This samurai looks slightly more refined. But only by a little you really get what you pay for Seiko now. There's no bargains with nicer than expected case or movement no more

That sucks that you didn't enjoy the dial. But true on you get what you pay for with seiko. I've noticed with seiko pricing especially high end they really know how to price. Their finishing and quality changes exactly with price almost like a math formula I have been noticing.

This is my only issue with the seiko mechanical watches they have horrible accuracy which is why I am hesitant to get one. But, I love that dial and it has a ceramic bezel,but the accuracy is pathetic!

Underpriced watch !!!! More impressive than my off shore and my submariner

Like this watch but don't like the size, weight, bezel action, clasp, cyclops, alignment or the case, so i bought a titanium homage from heimdallr and its awesome and solves all these problems for me.
