Haha, glad you enjoyed the video. That said, I’m starting a new religious cult where my main doctrine is that mechanical watch movements are to men what high-end luxury purses are to women. The work of Satan, I tell you!

@watch_a_watch No excuses we are here too watch a watch .Not to hear your life decisions. We want a watch to watch and for us to watch a watch we must have the creator produce a video for us to watch a watch
@@HOWMUCHIS99RIGHTThank you for putting it into simple terms that a lazy piece of white trash (such as myself) would understand. I’ll get right on it and produce my finest work for you!
The review was very entertaining and I own the same watch. I put some C3-lumed sword hands on mine -- they look suitably militaristic. I also swapped-out the movement to an NH36A and put a domed acrylic on it for more of a 1960s vibe. Now I think I need that Vario strap to make it look even cooler -- thanks!
I've been eyeing Grand Seiko quartz watches lately. They are made to be serviceable/repaired if and when the movement needs attention. The icing on the cake they are +/-10 seconds a year! 😁
Heck yeah! Also check out the Citizen Chronomaster range if you haven't already. I actually think that they're better than Grand Seiko in pretty much every way.
I have the SNK381K1 bought from Jomashop over a month ago. It was $105 before tax. They ompletely sold out in a couple of days. I love the watch and joins my mechanical field watch collection. I do wear quartz for work to keep my mechanicals in pristine condition.
@@working_mans_watches Jomashop had the white dial variant SNK377K1. The price has not been updated since it sold out years ago. It was listed for $69. I'm still happy to have purchased it for $105. The price will only go up since Seiko stopped production.
I got to tell you, I'm a huge quartz guy. I don't need the fussing around with automatics. I'm a big citizen fan. So it's nice to hear that you too appreciate it.
They're still making them and sold regionally mainly in some SE Asian markets. They're just not sold in NA or EU markets. That's why they continue to be available even 5 years after they were discontinued.
I'm with you on quartz, day/date, and peeing in the middle of the night. Watch posers love inaccurate mechanicals with no day/date and sapphire. I've also noticed that several popular watch RUclipsrs don't even have a watch tan. Humm, I'm not sure some even wear a watch...
Just got this watch a couple of months ago, it’s really impressive for the price. Got a cheap nato for it, but definitely will check that strap, looks great, before I was thinking of buying a 20mm and trimming the edges.
As a SNK381 owner,, the SNK381 is a tad bit shit for 2024. Thankfully the Seiko modding community has given us owners the option to update it with a sapphire crystal, and a more liveable NH36/4R36 movement. Mine has a personal touch - a red seconds hand, and lumed day-date wheels
Cool watch. But think you don't understand water resistance (and are therefore misinforming people in a way that can F up their watches). 30m WR resistance doesn't mean you can strap the watch to your wrist and go down 30m. It means that a case of this type (ie not this specific case) was (maybe) pressure tested in a device which doesn't actually simulate how it would react on an actual wrist moving around in water at depth. 30m basically means you can shower with it (at your own risk). And what exactly does the number of jewels mean to you? How does this info help you in terms of wearing or using or purchasing this watch?
According the International Organization for Standardization (or “ISO” as dive watch nerds call it), “a 30 meter water resistant watch is suitable for any aquatic activity up to thirty meters”. Nowhere in their standards bible do they discuss the oft-recited myth of dynamic pressure, so there’s no reason whatsoever to buy into the fallacy that many horological know-it-alls on RUclips often scream from the hills. The main thing is to make sure that your gaskets and seals are in good shape. If you do this, you can absolutely go thirty meters (and most likely more) underwater with a watch rated for thirty meters. As for jewel count, as I said in the video, it’s not important at all. I just think it’s charming as hell to see on a dial (similar to the words “unbreakable mainspring” or “rotor self-winding”). Thanks for watching!
@@working_mans_watches Well, there is a reason to buy into the idea that you shouldn't go 30m with a 30m rated watch: they frequently fail. I've seen it happen more than once. And virtually no manufacture suggests you can swim with a watch with such a rating. Most recommend you don't shower with it, much less take 30m or 20m or 10m or 2m deep for any period of time. I'd just suggest to anybody who likes their 30m rated watches, think twice before taking into any depth of water. It's not a smart risk.
Take of the lether strap. You gotta have a nato strap on this watch. Also i wouldnt use a watch with 30m waterresistance to go swimming. You gotta do youre Research and Look up why everyone is opsessed with waterresistance. This watch is gotta Brake if youll shower with it probably.
Haha, I’d rather attach it to my wrist with a piece of barbed wire than wear a Nato. And before I took this watch off its original bracelet, I did shower with it many times. The watch never had a problem. Water resistance fears are completely unnecessary, just so long as the seals/gaskets aren’t corroded. Anyway, thanks for watching!
The water resist scare is such a stupid trend of the watch community.People now won’t buy a watch for EDC or outdoor activities unless it is not ISO certified for at least 200m, screwdown crown etc. Meanwhile my F-91 and my Seiko 5 from 1981 were with me on mountain tops, snorkeling in the sea and lake without any issues. You know what this tells me? That people are suckers for marketing and have never used their watches outside their desk at job and yet yap about water resistance.
@@eldarpanther1513 I mean nice for you ig. Glad ypure Favoriten watches are staying around with you. And I mean you are right, that it hasnt have to be a dealbraker for a lot of people, and if it does Brake you can repair it. But I have seen watches Brake cause of Water and I know other people who do. Inhalt I think the Marketing move here is to test the watches under unrealistic conditions to be able to write down 3üm instwad od the 10cm its worth. Pretty Sure 90% of costumers have no idea about watches so thats the group theyre aming for. But i also Respekt you guys staying true to youre ideals. Just still you might wanna Listen to people to experience and be careful.
@eldarpanther1513 I think it's the brand's fault ( at least pre internet): you buy a normal quartz watch & it says '100 metre' - one thinks ,'wow!' - & there's your benchmark for water resistance forever...or one reads/watches(!) the Internet and it 's usually OTT for one's dsily use. Sapphire glass is the new water resistance. Good for office but not 'off-road'.

There's actually a lot of cool history surrounding that watch, but none of it was reflected here. I actually feel dumber for having seen this video.
Fantastic! You feeling dumber was the whole point. Thanks for letting me know that the video was a resounding success.
@@working_mans_watchesactual lol
Coming from a guy who's playlist includes "what happens to midgets when they go to prison", I think "dumber" could be relative.
Finally! Someone else who appreciates the day date complication 😂❤
Nothing is more important than the day/date! Not even the time.
Man, you’re actually hilarious. I’m obsessed with watches. Glad YT blessed my algorithm today.
EDIT: How dare you diss mechanical movements?!

@@working_mans_watches Bahahaha
This channel reminds me of the grumpy guys mouthing off from the balcony box on the old Muppets show. Entertaining, thx.
Those guys taught me everything I know.
Make more watch videos already im tired waiting a month for a video i want to watch a watch get to work

Would you mind sharing where you did find a plexi fitting that case? That's an awesome mod!
That's a very cool idea for the hands. Sounds like it's exactly what this watch needs.

I like your view on watches. You are like a fresh wind in the RUclips watch community. 👍

I'm so glad I've found a fellow quartz tool guy! Phew.
The fact you found a way to criticise socialism in a watch video just got me subscribed to your channel.
In my next video, I’ll have to remind everyone that communists are just socialists who know how to read.

Thanks! Glad to hear someone out there agrees.
What is the exact strap you ordered? Went to vario sight want to make sure I order correctly.
“Oiled Leather Cinnamon Brown Watch Strap for Casio AE1200WH World Time Watch”
Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you sir
@@BlkREPRNo problem. I hope you like it

I agree; full numerals, quartz and day-date.

Haha, I didn't realize that I had a watch tan until right now. Glad to know that at least one part of me won't fall off due to skin cancer.
Great sense of humour. 😂
The new logo is much better
How much did Seiko pay you to say that? Whatever it is, I'll double it.
Just got this watch a couple of months ago, it’s really impressive for the price. Got a cheap nato for it, but definitely will check that strap, looks great, before I was thinking of buying a 20mm and trimming the edges.
Did you end up getting the strap?
@@working_mans_watches will get eventually! Bought a pile of Natos instead and a Citizen lol

Those sound like great touches, indeed. Too bad you can't post a pic of it here!
Do they have this with a quartz movement? I demand sturdy precision for military field use but do not want an ugly digital watch.
No.
@@jlg395 it's over
