Great review, seiko has been crushing it lately in my opinion. Can’t wait for a MAC V SOG reissue in the 37mm SNXS case!

[@ClickSpringReview]

Be interesting if they ever do again, I dare it would be an all black PVD model this time round

[@mohnnadmercedes8246]

Am so glad i picked ths model in black such a refreshing watch

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its a really stand out model 👍🏻

Did they do a silver dial also ?

The black dial is cool but its the silver one which does it for me matey

[@flemmingsorensen5470]

That looks absolutely amazing👍👍👍

[@ClickSpringReview]

I think its a stunner

[@Hectorsdad]

Doesn’t look like the usual Seiko. Super review as always. Bracelet… hmm.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thank you my friend 😊

[@monsta3038]

Nice watch I am thinking about a new mod and was desperate for ideas now I've got a direction to take. Thanks,!

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thats fair enough its a great looking watch

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

Very nice video. Really tempted by this one.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thank you I do try and make informative videos and its a cool watch

[@7rslender]

Wow ... what a stunner. Now Seiko, bring back the "Gene Kranz" ... that's the Seiko 5 re-issue I want to see.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its funny you should say that I have a customer ask my service a vintage Seiko 5, 6117-6400 just earlier which is of the same age as the Gene Kranz

[@pokie6087]

They've got the architecture ready and waiting for a Pogue reissue

[@ClickSpringReview]

Col did you watch my Pogue reissue review ?

[@pokie6087]

@@ClickSpringReview
Except it's not a Pogue reissue.. There's more to it than a dial colour

[@ClickSpringReview]

I believe they call it a more a reinterpretation

Have you reviewed the 55th Anniversary SRPK17K1 ? That's a proper reissue. An exact copy of the 1968 original.

[@ClickSpringReview]

No can't say I have Sir

[@edmundchiang]

Thanks for your timely review. According to your measurement, does this new watch has the same diameter as the one released last year: 39.5? BTW, Kanji is an English pronunciation of 漢字which means written language from the Han (漢) dynasty in the ancient China. So they are 100% Chinese.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I believe it is the same size as last years I can't see them making a new case so close to the last one, I lived in China for a year back 2005 👍🏻

[@robertlock6041]

Hi Barry, it certainly looks the part: how would you rate it relative to a Citizen Tsuyosa? LG Bob

[@ClickSpringReview]

Good question and hard to answer think I'd go for the Citizen but its very close, next week I have the Citizen Forza review coming

[@robertlock6041]

@@ClickSpringReview I think that I would too... I'm certainly looking forward to the Forza test!

[@ClickSpringReview]

I really like it matey 🤫

[@s4127419]

This piece is the only seiko I purchase this year,,,, got it from a ad around 380..

[@ClickSpringReview]

I believe FCW well do it for about 330

[@discodawgsy4674]

I think these look cool

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its a real handsome model

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

The bracelet is completely the wrong style. The original 5126 bracelet was completely different.

[@ClickSpringReview]

True but it looks more time period correct than there standard ones

[@guidobyfredo]

It looks a little bit like modded watch in my opinion

[@ClickSpringReview]

Because of the Kanji date wheel ?
