Sometimes I forget you're from Croatia, your English is flawless
Haha thanks
How did you end up having such good english?
@@atilioperdomo8576 I watched A LOT of movies 😂😂
Wow that's very impressive
I always watch your videos, they're awesone , you are a great watch you tuber
Personally I like the 5 logo, it's honesty, good design and quality with reasonable price point, it shows that you can have a great watch that looks stylish and has great reliability and features for under $100 which I think there's no shame in showing.
+Harry Akira Eaton beautifully said 👍
I so completely agree about having more than one size of each model. In fact, some day, (not likely soon, but some day), I hope watch manufactures will understand that watches are like shoes or shirts, and should be made in a variety of sizes so they fit the people that wear them.
Great review! I enjoyed it very much.
They have thought about it. That’s why you can adjust the bracelets and the straps have several holes. Other than that, not the same.
This is one of the most thoughtful watch videos I've watched! I don't think anyone could do a better SNX111 video. Also, that watch looks amazing. Even at $130 I can't believe they can make such a beautiful watch.
towert7 I agree about the beauty completely 😊
In the giant sea of Seiko 5's out there, you have found a real gem! Great choice and good eye!
+A- Wall thanks 😊
A fantastic seiko 5!
I have the SKX111 (7S26-0060) it is the same but has a closed case back.
Perhaps better visually and for the general thickness.
What an utterly superb, detailed and considered review. Excellent close up photography. I agree that lower end horological pieces represent great value as well as aesthetic refinement that grotesque and ostentatious high end pieces lack. Hats off to the Japanese. Thank you.
+Felix Unger thank you for the kind words 😊
Felix Unger 5
Ive got mine l bought it from japan second hand store,
That is a sharp looking watch. My wife bought the SNKE51 for my birthday. She knew that's the one I've been wanting.
Great watch. I’ve got an SNX113 that I received as a gift Christmas 2005, wore it for ten years and it never failed me. Need to send it in for a service really
They really serve without asking much
I have just bought a Seiko 5. The Snxg47k1. I love it.
The good thing about a folded link bracelet is that it's lightweight and comfortable.
Congrats
Your Review is excellent. The problem is that now that yo have wet my taste buds for this watch, I can't find it anywhere! I was happier when I did not know it existed! Now that I know about it, I can't sleep until I can find one! Your close up camera work really shows the details of your review. I guess I will buy a SNK789K1 for now as it is the closest to thee SNX111.
You have to admire Seiko for what they have achieved watches at all price levels and in all different styles ie. Diver/dress/chronograph etc, with in house movements. The Seiko 5 is a great way to enter mechanical watches or just to even stay with just this watch if looked after it could last you a life time, yes ok the bracelet is not great just replace with a nice strap of your choice, but Seiko has a structure you get a certain level of watch for the price and if want better then you move up to what ever level and price point that suits you. There is no other watch company that's offers what Seiko offer.
I bought the Seiko SNKK87 for the same reasons. Looks very similar and a lot easier to buy. Put it on a brown buffalo leather strap and it looks 😍👌
Great video 👍
+Boss Man great looking watch that is, and thanks for liking the video
i think the snkl23 is the best seiko 5 dress watch. freakin love mine !!! TGV and hodinkee have a good review of it too. the sharp hands give it a grand seiko or sarb033 look. Put it on an expensive leather band and damn its a beauty !
+Jaden Abed it sure is pretty, and the case is a work of art, especially at that price point!
The SNKL21 that I show in the video is the same just with a silver dial.
Really thorough and solid reviews! Love the details you point out in the design of the watch. Very few people look close enough to understand the beauty of the painted top face of the applied indices. I have a 1970's vintage Seiko Business-A, and it has a similar design. It's one of my favorite watches despite it being one of the lowest cost watches I have.
You're a cut above and beyond many other popular watch channels. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more!
+spektrograf thank you for the kind words, they make me want to keep up 👍
I just ordered SNXS73K model and I really love Seiko design of the classic models just like the one in this video! I remember when I was a little boy, our neighbor used to have this watch and I was really fascinated by the beauty of it. Thanks for this video. I also think that 37 mm is the best size :)
A lot of my neighbors had these also
the first mechanical watch I ever wore and experienced was a Seiko 5 in 2000. it sadly was the last wrist watch I ever wore for some reasons. this video brings back the memories
A pretty watch indeed, very much impressed by the amount of background you amassed. I'm an admirer of this particular movement, and you are spot on with the size issue. I have a similar piece (SNXS79K) which I purchased only a few weeks ago. It displays a certain quality of finish when inspecting from close-up. Originally, I disliked datewheels having contrasting colours to the dial itself, but on my timepiece, it's not bad at all. This video is quality and instrumental spreading the word about the beauty of Seiko 5s.
+jegesbubu thank you for the kind words, and I agree Seiko 5's are to me one of the most underrated watches out there :)
I hope yours serves you well for years!
Very GOOD Review and Explanations.
Thanks
I really don't care how the wide the diameter of my watch, the really important number to me is the lug to lug distance. I have a SBBN tuna, which is 47~48mm across, That is instantly too big for most people, but however, the watch designed in a way that it is basically a circle with the lug to lug of 47~48mm as well. So even though it is big, but my below average 17cm wrist can still handle the tuna.
Cant find this watch anywhere, its been too long since release, so I bought snkk87k1 which is the closest thing to this one and is already not easy to find with official seller too. However it doesnt have that raised Seiko logo, great little detail that I love so much.
I noticed the same effect, you start pointing out @21:30 mark, on my Orient Mako XL. When I was wearing it for just 3-4 days per week, time accuracy was + 14 seconds/day. Now that I wear that watch everyday (it may rest one day/week+, the watch is only + 3 seconds/day.
My favourite Seiko 5 is the SNKL41. Love the dauphine hands and no border around the day-date. It gives it a really clean look and resembles a Grand Seiko.
Awesome detailed watch review. I could feel your affection for this watch. The macro shots were perfect. Keep it up!
Thanks 😊
Amazing review of the watch I have a Seiko 5 with those hands and now it makes sense why it is so visible. Keep up the great reviews one of the best I've seen on youtube.
gtc77 thanks for the nice words
I want to a Seiko watch, please give me address, or call me in my no/9439641786
This was such an excellent review, I think the best watch review ive seen yet, and ive seen lots! even though im still looking for this model, after lots of digging I found it's close brother the snx115. Jjust waiting for it to arrive! thank you for making this video and was glad to see it was still looking good in you state of the collection vid last month.
Edit: got very lucky and found one on ebay, happy owner of snx111 now :)
There is still luck yes!
I really really like the dial on this one. Great review as usual :)
The hands are fantastic, wish Seiko would use them more, the only reason I passed on sarb 035 were dauphine hands
+Goran Belaj thanks, you should check the hands of the Orient Star Chronograph, the newer generation, I find them the best designed hands of all time, try to find a video by watch tanaka, as it shows their beauty the best
I'm loving the close ups and commentary
Thanks
Wow. I was comparing this SNX111 to my recently bought SNKL41, I found that the SNX111 have so much more detail built into it. Example like the frame around the day-date. I don’t have that on my SNKL41. Great buy bro!
The SNKL has a lot more details on the case though
To be honest, with the build quality and the finishing you get for such a low price; I'm surprised Seiko 5's still come with bracelets.
+Thomas Christopher White Haha True
Very nice and comprehensive review on a great watch! That dial reminds me of the GS snowflake, not exactly but it reminds me of it. That's an incredible story about how the tariff and fees cost more than the watch itself! But fortunately you finally acquired the watch you wanted. The 37.5 wears nicely on you. I would have liked to see a picture with the leather strap you bought, maybe a video on that in the future? Congrats!
The closeups look fantastic without any glare. Did you use a filter?
Thanks for the mention at the end!
+whatsonthewrist thanks for the kind words.
The dial reminded me of the Snowflake as well but I decided not to mention it as I was not sure I was delusional :) I'm glad it turns out I am not, as you see it too.
I don't use filters, but try controlling the reflections and glare with strategically positioned obstacles for the light, and these include everything from blankets and t shirts to kitchen utensils :)
And your video was discussing exactly the point I was trying to make, plus you already mentioned me in so many videos it was about time I repayed the favor :)
Yes, we use whatever it takes to get the shot--utensils, etc. Funny and true.
There's not a need to repay my mention. I'm glad to do it for anyone, especially those deserving. It's great to see you approaching 1000 subs. You'll get there in no time. Keep it up!
+whatsonthewrist oh I didn't mention you because of that but it is a bonus, and yes the 1.000 is coming close, and I have no doubt you will be there soon as well.
Thanks again and can't wait for another video from you
thanks so much for this video.....
I got one given to me last week by my nan.....it was my grandads until he sadly passed away a few weeks ago with cancer.....it means a lot to me and I have been trying to find out what watch it was since then and have had no luck until now
+TheLegend 27 I'm glad you liked it, and wear the watch with pride :)
Gorgeous watch, hard to find. I bought mine as a substitute for my Datejust and fitted it with a 29mm AR sapphire, but because of the day, its more useful and got more wrist time than the Rollie! I was able to play around with the 7s26 movement regulator and got it down to +/- 3 seconds per day.
+Hoop oh wow that's some good regulating job, I usually mess mine up when I try it myself 😃
Luckily I was extremely lucky with this one as it still keeps time within a second a day, and yes it is still 90% of the time on my wrist.
The Datejust is a beauty and I like the 36mm the best, but way out of my price range, and if I had one I would be afraid to wear it every day not to damage it
Very nice review! I just ordered a SNK385 based on very similar considerations.
Here is my GREAT TIP for those that are craving after one of these, I got myself the SNK385 after a long research, it is somehow similar and EVERY BIT AS HANDSOME, could not be happier! It’s available and cheap! I LOVE these 5’s, I wish my SARB033 was the same size.
Very nice in-depth review. This guy actually convinced me to get this model over another model that I am looking at.....but as he said, it is no longer available on the International market :(
Seiko 5s - the best kept secret in horology - only enthusiasts seem to realise just what amazing watches they are for the price! Thanks for the in-depth review - enjoyed it. Classy watch - sorry you got charged so much in fees and taxes.
I'm glad it's kept a secret as it keeps the prices low and I buy them to impress myself, not others, so them being cheap isn't a bad thing 😜
Watch Geek I agree! Well said
i think seiko 5 and orient crystal series are awesome for the money..and now we have the swatches system 51...which are affordable swiss automatic..very good.but i would want to know more about citizen eagle 7 series
Tzu Babu Yes - I have both an orient Star Classic and a seiko 5 pilot’s watch. I love both of them. The OS is a luxury watch that cost £220 new and has remarkably consistent accuracy. The Seiko cost me £51 new and is a brilliant little automatic that is also pretty accurate though not quite as precise as the OS. I don’t know much about the Citizen Eagle 7 series, only that used to be a rival to the Seiko 5s.
yeah..thats what i thought...orient crystal,seiko 5 and citizen eagle 7 all in the same category...i believe the new swatches sistem51 are the new rivals in affordable automatics..their advantage might be the their movement,design and swiss pedigree,and their low price for what we are used to see in swiss brands
I have a quite similar SNKL41, looks good too in my opinion
+Chun Chen Chung I show it in this video as well, where I compare the 2
This is an excellent review!
Thanks 😊
After seeing your review of the SNX111, i searched for months and finally bought 2 of them. A used one from Japan and one new (K version) from a romanian webshop. I really like this watch! Thank you from Hungary
Congrats. How much was the new one?
The new one was arround 120 euros. I noticed that new Seiko 5s tend to be arround this price in the ex-communist countries of Europe.@@WatchGeek
Because of this video, I bought a second hand in good condition of this model. 😁 Time keeping is on the fast side +45sec/day but it's manageable, considering that it's 2008 model.
Your watch might've been magnetized. You can get it demagnetized by getting a demagnetizer for less than $20 or a short trip to the watchmaker.
Nice watch. Checkout the SNK607. It is under $100.00 and has one of the best dials that Seiko has to offer.
The dial is stunning on that one but it uses integrated bracelet meaning you can only use that bracelet and nothing else and I try to avoid such watches, but other than that, a beautiful piece
My 7S26C is more accurate than my ETA 2824-2, a respectable movement. A 80 USD watch challenging a 450 USD one, simply amazing.
+Alican Sunalı haha, yes they are very capable :)
Did i ever mention 4R37A superiority over Swiss counterparts, love my Seiko automatics, my SRP615j and SSA281j. :)
Thanks for posting really helped me pick, was going crazy looking at all the different models.
I have the SNX 997. Amazing watches. The 7S26C holds out the legacy of a robust movement.
I personally like the bracelet it’s comfortable and easy to size.
Yes, however the bracelet for my 7009-3040 used U-shaped pins which are nearly impossible to find and after 35 years, they do start to loosen up so replacements might be needed as they are just friction fitted. Now, more modern Seikos tend to have pin and collar pins and it is easy to find sets of assorted pin and collar pins but just try finding U-shaped pins.
Just a quick tip. When you're looking for specific models, search the stores from Europe, outside your country, as I'm sure that you know all of the stores in your country. Search with google translate or something go "maker+country". At least in Romania, we have some stores with some models that are in stock for years, as there aren't big stores, they don't pop easily in searches, and they don't have much flow, so you can sometimes find discontinued items at the original price.
+SmurfK oh wow that's an excellent tip!!
Thanks and I'm sure it will help in tracking down discontinued models 👍
I've just got an SNXF05. A tough choice to make, as you presented the SNX111 so nice, but I'm a sucker for how that one looks. There are both available at an online store over here for about 90 euros, so if you're interested in getting another SNX111, let me know and I'll link you the store address. They send in EU for about 30 euros.
+SmurfK thanks for the info and congrats on a new watch 👍
I can't get one now as I have other project watches in my plans but thanks anyways, if anyone I know let's me know they need one I will contact you 😊
Thanks for a detailed analysis...I have developed a great liking for the seiko 5 ...even more so when I remembered my late father had a few, not sure where they went... I bought one last week SNK 31 k1 (7S26) and I surely do love it for I have always used Quartz so it's kind of my first mechanical watch
These all come with 7s26 -no hacking but very accurate,beautufull, sharp, well defined details.All under 100$ -awesome value.They can be personalized with any strap.Great looking watches.They are on the small side but light weight and low profile.
+ogostaboy I agree 👍
Very thorough, thank you.
Great close-up on the video! cool looking seiko. just subscribed
+Chris Gennin thank you for the kind words AND the subscription :)
I paid a bit more for a Seiko 5 I wanted as well. It is the Seiko SNXJ89 which was my first automatic watch.
Great video! Do you plan on reviewing the seiko snkl41? Haven't seen any videos on it
+Angel Garcia yes, I will do a video on it as well, just don't know when exactly :)
I wish I could find one of these...with a black band. Would look amazing.
As the title says: Best looking Seiko 5. That is what I like from Seiko. You can find quality at whatever tier in their large range of their products....except for the bracelet :-)
Haha yes the bracelet is the one place where they skimped
A very enjoyable thorough review. Keep it up.
+ray ban thanks :)
I hope I will be able to
Great review. And a nice looking watch, indeed.
seiko should put the 4r39a movement in the 5s
I wouldn't have to wear it all the time then.
I would even accept a no date version.
+neil piper newer ones do come with handwinding and hacking
After saw this i throw one omega gift to the toilet, and buy one Seiko 5.
Big thank to you mighty man 😀
😄😄👍
I bought both the SNXS79 as well as the SNKL23... Now I'm thinking I should have gone with the SNX115.. I prefer that it has a brushed case over the SNXS79..
I was looking for this watch and your right no where to be found
I'm torn between this and the SNXS73K... They're great but can't make my mind!
Whichever you choose you won't make a mistake 😉
Thank you, man! Uppon closer inspection of both models, I realized the SNX111 has bigger links, kind of like the oyster bracelet while the SNXS73K has smaller links, kind of like a chain. That is a bit of a turn off for me, but the lume dials are great. Still on the fence! LOL
Nice channel and nice review! But, what is the watch at 08:25? You mentioned it was an SNKL41, but I found that your watch's luminous dots are on the outside of the hour markers, and the dots on SNKL41 on Amazon.com are on the inside of the hour markers. Really like the watch at 08:25
+Allen Yuan I'm terribly sorry, you are right, the watch in the video is SNKL15.
When it was sold to my colleague it said SNKL41 on the auction 😄
Thank you so much! Love your channel :)
+Allen Yuan no problem and thanks for pointing out to the mistake, I never would have noticed it otherwise
Nice quality footage, definitely subbing!
There are so many incredible looking Seiko 5. Here are 5 i like best in my collection;
1. 6139 7010 this the rarest among the 6139. Used by Japanese Air Force.
2. 5126 6030 Rally Diver
3. 7619 7060 Sportsmatic the crown bezel is internal and still sparkle like new zaratsu polish
4. 7619 9060 with diver's indices
5. 6119 8410 comes with one of the best looking bracelet i have seen. 24mm lug width taper to 16mm. Where to find these things nowadays?
Glad you mentioned about they will produce size that sells. I drives me crazy when people rant on Invicta over their Big watch sizes. Its what millennials & rapper want to be, $ ganster want to be, buy. Of course a consumer company will meet the demand. I like you would like smaller sizes, but until the trendy people make it happen, we will be in a minority. Hey, bought a Invicta pro diver - has Seiko nh35 movement, wr 200 m, handwinding, hacking, date, ss naterial, for $70.00 us new. Put on mesh & love it.
+Vince White congrats
+Vince White congrats on the pro diver. It's a nice watch, especially considering the money it costs
nope you are not crazy at all I'm kinda sucker for lil details too amazing watch and review. is there black dial version of same model?
I believe there is a dark blue, not sure about the black
@@WatchGeek if you know the model number can you post it?
I just looked it up, there are both blue and black, called SNX113 and SNX115.
SEIKO uses odd numbers for models, so you can try and google other odd numbers close to these with SNX in front to see what other versions there are
@@WatchGeek thank you 👍🏼
@@nibhrant007 no problem, and happy hunting
I would have enjoyed shots of it on different straps but overall great video and got lots of good information
Thanks 😊
Nice vid! I agree about what you said about watch sizes. That model looks really classy. I was looking for something like that before I found a silver dial Orient Oyster.
+JKT1971 what model did you get?
My first mechanical watch was an Orient STI Ii
Orient CEV0J003W. Originally, I thought the silver dial with silver hands would be difficult to read, but actually it isn't at all. Mine was very accurate out of the box and it quickly became my daily wearer. It doesn't have hacking or hand winding, but I don't miss those features. I'm able to regulate the time by changing the resting position at night. With the crown pointing up it loses a couple of seconds and the dial up it gains a couple of seconds. I haven't had to reset the time in over 5 months!
+JKT1971 oh wow, that's an astonishing performance 😱
I just got a seiko 5 SNK793 about 4 or 5 days ago. Very pleasantly suprised. The build quality is just fantastic. It keeps very very accurate time. You just can't find a better watch for the Seiko 5's quality and price.
+Hugh Pecon congrats on a great new watch, and I agree
Try it with a nice leather strap and it looks even better.I love my 793.
This may just be the best looking Seiko 5...I think it's a toss up between this and the SNKL23, although the bracelet on this wins over the snkl23 bracelet
+Neuro I just recently pit this watch on a leather strap and it's even more beautiful like this!!
looks very nice indeed. great review
Your review is so much detailed , thumbs up.
+car salon thanks 😊
+THE REPORT OF THE WEEK thanks 😊👍
+THE REPORT OF THE WEEK thanks again
+THE REPORT OF THE WEEK Haha one day if I get the equipment capable of that
+THE REPORT OF THE WEEK thanks
hey, thanks for the review bro, i loved the look of the watch.
what would be your choice of seiko 5 white dial, between snkk87, snkl23 and snk355?
Take care!
+camilo Retamal Fuentes the SNKL would be my choice followed closely by the SNK355.
and thanks for watching 😊
Thank you sir. I really appreciate your answer. thinking about getting the snkl41.
Bye =)
+camilo Retamal Fuentes 👍
I'm proud of the "5" badge too, I just hate it when they add that "S P O R T S" label too, it's cheesy. I wish I could find good Singapore versions of the SANTOS watches.
+Tomasina Covell I too dislike the additional Sports writing although it is in keeping with the tradition of 5's
Right, I also wrote this today to someone that didn't understand bracelets like these:
"They're not machine assembled, they don't assemble mechanical watches movements that way, and not any less hand assembled than any ROLEX. Mechanical watches, guitars, violins are all hand made. And you got a nice bracelet with it, it's a folded link bracelet, and that in itself took a hole factory of specialized machines to make, and besides that all these people that think that new Rolex or Omega clasps are machined wholecloth from bar-stock don't understand anything about machine stamping at all, because they too are stamped, but from a heavier sheet and in most cases aren't very much stronger or longer lasting at all over the simple ones like these! The "watch community" is so hypnotized by asshole Swiss-O-Philes and hype!"
Also, some of the most sought after vintage bracelets were all folded link types from the same family of machine processes. Take "NSA" bracelets for example, they can easily go for five hundred to a thousand times what they originally were worth.
+Tomasina Covell oh wow, I didn't know that, thanks for the info 👍
I'm just not sure about how to write this "Swiss-O-Phile", I'm sure that's not correct? :)
i got one where i replaced the scratched crystal (with a smaller "29mm" light dome 😊)
but i unfortunately not have the index at 12 o clock ... 😑 will probably find a dead dial for that one ...
Best looking Seiko 5 I would say is either the SNK801 or SNKL15
I agree with you for SNKL15, one of the best looking Seiko 5 for sure
@@markootb yes
I like this clasp better than the SNK355. I own the SNK355. The case design of the SNK355 is great, but the lug with sucks.
100% the same as my vintage ´98 7s26-0060, except mine has no display back.
My favourite Seiko 5 dress watch. Much better looking and classic than the overrated Seiko SNKL23 that was made famous by Hodinkee.
I can't believe that I'm not subscribed to your channel. Well, it's about to change now. Liked & Subscribed :)
+Manish Sahay Haha thanks, and it's nice to find out I am not the only one who likes the underdog (SNX111) more than the established champion (SNKL) :)
I remember watching three pictures of this watch in a thread about two years ago. Somebody mentioned its model number. Since that day, I was hunting this watch. It appeared a few times at eBay for about $125. At Amazon, also for $125.
I like this watch for the same reasons that you mentioned:
1. Black lining on its hands. Completely metal hands look bad under low light conditions in black dial and under heavily lit environment on white dial. The black lining is just the perfect solution.
2. I love its square lume dots. Rarity. I've seen many Seiko 5 watches where half of the round lume dot is covered by the indices.
3. It has metal indices not painted indices.
4. I like its squared hands which are a mix of painted and complete metal surface.
5. It has lume. Many costly dress watches have no lume at all.
6. The crown is at the 3 o'clock position, not 4.
There are many more reasons. It's a timeless timepiece. It'll never go out of style.
+Manish Sahay you should definitely hunt one down, as I can see you are very passionate about it, and it seems to tick all the boxes that are important to you
I bookmarked a Rakuten page about this watch a couple of days before your video was uploaded. I didn't order it then for some reasons. But, I ordered it a few days ago. It arrived yesterday - a gorgeous watch, truly.
There are a few things that I noticed about this watch only after watching your video - the bevel on the indices, some details on the case and slightly raised applied logo.
My SKX007 had a case of balance spring. It was gaining 5 minutes in one hour when it arrived. Some threads on WUS forums mentioned the same solution that you performed in your video. I did the same, and the watch started gaining only 5 seconds per hour, and soon settled down to +15 to +25s/day.
Now, it's time to look for a good-looking black leather watch strap for my SNX111 :)
+Manish Sahay congrats on a beautiful watch, I am still wearing mine, it hasn't left my wrist since I got it :)
I am a member of WUS as well, have been for 7+ years
nice closeups! beautiful watch
Thanks
i found snx993, 995, 997 differences are dial colors, this models have the best dial i think but thay are hard to finde
It looks good but somehow I've found it difficult to like white on white dials. Reminds me of Vanilla
Great review, awesome watch
+iaxable thanks
Great review. Thank you
Thank you for watching 😊👍
Excellent review!!! What is the difference between snx111 and snx111k1? I can only find snx111k1 in my country (Serbia). Pozdrav komsija i hvala unapred.
K1 je oznaka tržišta i narukvice- Europa i metal, pozdrav i koliko košta kod vas?
oko 100-120eur, zavisi od radnje, hvala puno.
I noticed that the balance regulator lever has been moved towards the minus (-). Did it come from the factory like that, or did you or somebody else regulate it?
It came like that, I never touched it
Great review! I’m not an expert but this looks very similar to the SNXS73 in terms of the case that is used. The only difference is that the crown is at the 4 o’clock on the SNXS73, whereas the SNX111 has the crown at the 3 o’clock. Am I right? If I am right, can you elaborate what else is different between the two?
They are slightly different in shape, but it's been a while since I held an SNXS so I might be wrong, but u remember holding both next to each other and they were different
Got a gold one ☺️
Congrats 😁👍
Beautiful watch. Elegant.
Good review, nice camera work. 27% VAT from where I'm writing (Hungary) - so I understand your purchase pains.
+improbablehandle haha, and them 5% import fee on top of that and another $15-25 fee to the post office for doing the import service, that one makes me mad the most, it's like paying the already payed shipping 😭
Yep, we have that post-ofice "service", too :-D
+improbablehandle long live government owned companies 😂
Where can I find aftermarket bracelets for this watch? I have a salmon dial
Look at the snk789. It is a good comparison.
Can you recommend where I can get my hands on one of these rare beauty?
I got mine recently from EBay $240 in mint condition. I am so thrilled in my collection. So stunning dial, hands and simplicity!!! Thanks Watch geek 🤓
Dali moues napraviti video kako namjestiti dan i datum na seiko satu mislim da bi to bio dobar video
Anything under 41mm looks ridiculously small on me. I have slightly under 7.5 inch wrists, I’m 1.83 meters tall and 110KG. Divers look small even when they are 42mm so I need at least 43.
Lucky you, there are so many watches I like the look of, but are way too large for me
I've watched many of your videos, but had no idea you are from Croatia. Greetings from Hungary ;)
😂😂👍
I have great memories from Hungary when I was a kid, we went to Siklos and Harkany shopping for stuff, but I only cared about the food!! Oh my good, the food was always amazing
@@WatchGeek Same thing with me. I used to go to family vacations to Brac (Sutivan) and Split. Croatia is a thing of beauty, I miss the sea and the people a lot :) Btw, I just got an SNK355k1. I really dig the vintage Rolex vibes. These Seiko 5s are a lot of fun :)
nice video you earned a sub
+Osama Al Obaidithank you for the sub and the nice words :)
I ordered two Seiko 5's that are coming in a few days. So excited and can't wait to put them on.
Mine are:
www.watchsleuth.com/seiko5finder/search/?MOD=SNKL23&SB=Popularity pairing with black leather
www.watchsleuth.com/seiko5finder/search/?MOD=SNXG47&SB=Popularity pairing with a brown leather
Both cost me only $220 total. What a hell of a steal and incredible value. You can't get them for $65 or $75 these days.
Now after watching this review. I might just get this one to add to the collection. Subbed!
+Andy Chung those are beautiful!!! Congrats, you can't beat Seiko 5's when it comes to value.
Thanks for the subscription, I appreciate it 👍😊
