Welcome to Addicted to Watches,
Today we're looking at something that is somewhere in between a SKX and SNXS released as part of the updated Seiko 5 Sports Collection. This one is often called the Dresskx for it's dressy looks combined with skx-ish case shape. Is it a worthy successor to the iconic grey dialed SNXS though? Let's take a close look and find out.

Perfect starter watch. 10X better than SKX despite only 100m wr.

The SRPE55 (black dial) is my current daily watch, on an expresso leather strap, and it’s been fantastic. A great Explorer or BB 36 alternative if you’re not in that price bracket 😂

I own the SRPE61, basically the same as in the video but with a brushed bezel to avoid it being a scratch magnet. As long as you don't buy it for the retail price you can't go wrong if you're looking for decent specs on an everyday "first automatic" that's versatile and a strap monster. And with some slight changes like swapping the hardlex for a sapphire cristal you can easily make it even better without breaking the bank. Give it a try and have your fun with it, might be the last half-way decently priced Seiko.

I would never recommend every paying retail price for a seiko these days. On sale or second hand will get you the best value

Hey, I completely agree with your take. The SNSX is very charming, but if you don't already have one, don't buy one now. The SRPE is a great watch. Put it on an aftermarket bracelet and it's on a whole new level. Cheers

If you just about to "enter" a watches -Seiko is a brand you can't do a mistake! Just buy one and enjoy! 👌🔥

My #1 recommendation as a first automatic used to be the Hamilton Khaki Field, but those are like 750 euro nowadays, so not really a entry point for most folks.

If they made this in 36mm it would be perfect. I would even take 38mm. I’m not sure how you are getting 12.7 for the thickness. I have one and mine is about 11.6mm thick when I measure and I believe the official number from Seiko is 11.5mm.

@addicted_to_watches 21 день назад

Maybe I need to reset my calipers 😅 I agree a 38mm version would be a good option to suit a wider range of wrist sizes

Why are people so deluded? It's been a very long time since seiko offered quality value for money pieces (hardlex, bracelets from a factory even Pagani design refuse to use, lack of movement regulation). There are way better brands offering far higher quality pieces at real value for money.

@YAK1994 24 дня назад

I think the exception are the SUR quartz models. You still need to change the bracelet tho...

@HRM.H 23 дня назад

Seiko still sells plenty great value for money watches in Japan, sadly ONLY in Japan... none of their HAQ pieces even get offered here

@turnbasedtoddy7664 22 дня назад

You’re the deluded one. I can get this watch right now new for $175. Name another big brand company that I can get a watch this good at that price that is also automatic. No Ali express watches. I bet you can’t.

IMO, the SNSX is the more dressy watch. The dive markers on the SRPE ruin the look. I wouldn't wear a watch with dive markers as either a daily or a dress watch.

@addicted_to_watches 7 дней назад

The Tudor black bay 36 would like a word with you 🤣 In all seriousness I can see your point. The snxs is definitely the dressier of the two and it just comes down to preferences with the dial

@unattributed1641 7 дней назад

@@addicted_to_watches LOL - this is mostly me thing.... I'm used to being in an office / business environment where most guys wouldn't wear something like the Black Bay or the Arnie.. In fact I can't recall anyone weraing a Dive or Chronograph. I'm used to seeing typical/boring watches -- although some go for more elegant options - especially when there are formal gatherings. The exceptiona are field watches (typically peple with military backgrounds) and GMT's - especially in environments where there is a lot of connections across time zones. Of course, digital watches were frequent too because of all the geeks / nerds in the office (I was one of them).

You must work in a classy office 😅 I sometimes wear a g-shock to mine
