It isn’t a small turtle. It’s a tonneau

Great review of a great watch. No issues with mine, bought on-line, thankfully. I'm interested in which aftermarket bracelet you have, and where you purchased it. Thanks

Does this watch have a screw down crown?

Good video! Agreed fully on having to own at least 1 black diver - me owing Certina DS 43mm and in the process of getting this one, which I really like, or Seiko regular Turtle srpe93. Any thoughts on it? Cheers 🍻

Just received mine . Looks awesome everything. , except running 7 seconds fast per minute. I will return it and exchange. If I can just get this time keeping within the range if seiko acceptable Super nice case bezel bracelet. I have a new prospex sbbn bracelet for it .

Funny you have a ghost date on your watch? There's no ghost date on mine. I checked with some other reviews of the watch and they mention that the watch comes with a modded PT5000 with no date and no ghost date. So it's really strange that you have a ghost date?

That's Toblerone

This one model has become a Legend

Yeah the steeldive website says this comes with our AR coating, also if you can get this watch for under $60 it's amazing for that price.

I love mine. My bezel lines up perfectly and im getting +4 secs per day. I also have the first run which doesnt have the lume at 3. I did buy a small aftermarket clasp though and it made all the difference. Watch now tappers nicely.

Where did you get the bracelet

Even in video this dial is so reflective… The ones with AR coating are also reflective. Because of that domed shape, which I feel for a minimalist watch like this was not necessary

Lots of issues with the video. Might be best if you throw some text in it to explain mistakes and mismatched dial.

amazing review!

Is the dial sunburst black really a DARK black colour or more DARK Grey or Anthrazit? Thank u!!

I got mine today and I love it! Your review is spot on. Thanks.

Micro adjust on the inside of clasp... just like the Rolex. Also has the sweaty day flip lock extention. Cronos doesnt disappoint.

I purchased this watch last year on sale, just to give it a try. I love tbe watch & still cant believe how well made it is for the money.

There's nothing wrong with the bracelet!! People are just used to over-engineered, uunecessarily heavy bracelets these days. Nearly all watch bracelets in this period (whether from Seiko, Rolex, Omega or whatever) would have had the same type of stamped clasp and hollow end links. It's actually very practical and much lighter on the wrist than a modern bracelet. In fact, this particular Seiko bracelet is extremely high quality for the period. All of the links in the bracelet itself are solid steel (with none of the links being folded). Omega, Rolex etc. bracelets of this period all had at least some folded links. It only feels "cheap" because it's light and elegant and people nowadays falsely equate weight with quality (when in fact the opposite should be the case for an object designed to be worn on the wrist).

I have a dark Pepsi cronos and a pagani batman with nh34. The cronos is way better than the pagani, it's a HUGE improvement. The paganis lume is terrible, and the rehaut is so deep, and the bezel action is not great. Cronos just gets it done better in every category. To me the pagani just feels cheap, and the cronos feels like a solid premium watch. I got my cronos for about $175 usd during a sale

I have small wrists as well, and was worried about the weight and size. Fortunately, it wears very comfortably thanks to the beveling on the underside of the case. It keeps great time as well. This thing is the bargain watch of the century! Also, it can be easily modded to your individual taste cheaply and easily.

Great Video. I just ordered the Jubilee Bracelet.

I wish the hands are a bit better, polished or better looking. That is probably the only thing that makes the watch feel cheap.

I have the titanium version and it’s crazy how much you get for under $300. Full titanium case and bracelet with a ceramic bezel that feels amazing once it loosens up and sapphire glass all while basically running within cosc

It is so worth it I bought this exact watch a couple weeks ago and it’s the watch we’ve all wanted but Tudor refuses to give us. I got the titanium

I have one, but it's a chronometer officially certified(no superior)June 1970 manufacture on a very nice brown/tan Seiko strap that I added a KS signed buckle from Vintage Time AU. It's all very nice and to me punches well above its price point in class and style.

I own this watch, runs around +5 seconds a day I love the way the bracelet looks, not tried it on any other strap yet. Thr only negative for me is that its slightly on thr heavy side, apart from that for the money it's a great watch.

Thank you for the review. Got the budget version and its an amazing piece for the price. Finish and quality for the price can't be beat. Great everyday piece though I have other pieces in my collection.

Yes, I am interested in adding this to my Seiko collection. It’s a very handsome watch despite some of the deficiencies you pointed out. But then again as they say, “there is no perfect watch”.

Great tip on screwing the crown back in. I never knew that!

Where can I get a bezel and bezel insert to fit this watch?

Is that the 777 in the video? I don’t notice the new lume mark at 3 o’clock.

Brilliant thankyou 🍀🍀🍀

I have this watch, it’s gorgeous, but the bracelet is very poor

Cronos clasps need serious sanding and finishing. So many very shadp edges! Bracelet and head are great quality tho

I don’t understand why a sapphire crystal upgrade costs over $100 dollars. I think these are cool watches but are a bit overpriced considering what’s on offer.

First you are showing 2 different watches. One with a lime at the 3 o'clock and the other without a lume at the 3 o'clock. 1:16 watch is different to 1:24 watch.

Hey Andy, could you do a review of the smaller version of 5KX (SRPK29)? I am also in NZ and in the market for a dive watch for small wrist. 😀

Sorry,I don't see the point of the half link... The whole idea behind the on the fly adjustment is that you can easily adjust at any moment the bracelet to fitcyour wrist.

Classic beats the new one any day, but i do still want the new purple on ❤. Amazing watch and video 😊

Beautiful ❤.

Can you add one link from where we can buy it?

I wish it was only brushed finish, not polished :(

I absolutely love this piece. I've had it for 2 years. The bracelet is great, I swim with it everyday. It's become a go-to.

Does the one which says made in Japan in the dial , do they have kanji day wheel option ?

I purchased one of these, the '101' for $1,200 at the time of their release. From day one it averaged 45-60 seconds slow, daily. After two years I returned it to Seiko's US service center for their recommended periodic maintenance, and when it was returned it's accuracy was within Seiko's spec - for a month before returning to it's 'former self.' I returned it twice more for re-calibration that same year, with little improvement. Each time, it ran within spec, and within a few weeks ran well outside of spec. I truly enjoyed the quality of manufacture and size of the watch, it's a handsome unit; but Seiko's calibre is unreliable and I will never purchase one of their watches with it again . . .

Already I baught for 58€ black basel 👍🏼

How will you know if the one for sale is a normal or budget?
