  • Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
    I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
    I try very hard to diversify my content. Featuring known watch brands, microbrands, Aliexpress. Some I have purchased new, others second hand.
    The majority of the watches that I feature I have purchased. I buy them to enjoy, wear, have in my collection. I then also feature them on this channel.
    Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress and Ashford.com.
    If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
    www.ashford.com
    If you are looking for great strap options then definitely check out:
    vario.sg/
    and
    artemstraps.com/collections/s...
    As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
    Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.
    Below are affiliate links for my absolute favourite watches on Aliexpress. Each of them I have owned and had positive experiences with the stores that they are linked to.

    Great to finally connect with a smaller watch

  • @jamesbyles7070
    @jamesbyles7070 5 месяцев назад +1

    Given the heritage of the name it’s a pity they used the 6R movement. It’s a fine looking watch and you got it at a much more reasonable price. Looking forward to watching the longer review in a few months.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +1

      I am really enjoying it. It is a bit special but I am very happy I chose to wait to find it at a more reasonable price.

  • @ZakDeCourcy
    @ZakDeCourcy 5 месяцев назад +2

    That's a gorgeous looking piece. A bit small for my gargantuan wrist but still very good looking

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +1

      I was a bit worried about the size too and I’ve got a smaller medium wrist.

  • @neilgadsby3924
    @neilgadsby3924 5 месяцев назад +2

    If I could get one at the price you paid I would buy one right away. There's a brown dial variant that I really love.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +1

      The brown looks great too.
      Keep your eyes out for one. They do come up.

  • @c.s2001
    @c.s2001 5 месяцев назад +2

    I prefer dress watches like this. Very nice thankyou. A lot lighter than dive watches as well.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +1

      It has a great look and would also be easy to wear everyday

  • @96kyh
    @96kyh 5 месяцев назад +1

    Hail the King! I like it but it is pricey especially brand new. I think this watch & size suits your wrist perfectly.

  • @rawdah786
    @rawdah786 5 месяцев назад +2

    Gorgeous bracelet James 😮‍💨

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +2

      It is definitely a big step up compared to other Seiko bracelets I’ve experienced

  • @brianmsahin
    @brianmsahin 5 месяцев назад +1

    It's a very cool watch James. Lucky you, what a great price! I agree that the retail price is far too much when you consider it against the price of the Alpinist Prospex also with a 6R movement. As for the flag James, every King needs one to hang from the turrets of his castle !

  • @NaNByZero
    @NaNByZero 5 месяцев назад +1

    If I should ever buy a Grand Seiko, it will be a spring drive. Their aesthetics are not really my cup of tea most of the time. Nice King that you got yourself there. 🕐⚙️🍸

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +2

      I’ve had my eye on the GS Mt Iwate but it is outside my price range.

    • @NaNByZero
      @NaNByZero 5 месяцев назад +1

      @@WATCHingJames yes, they are so expensive. I will never get this price label thing. Sometimes hundreds, sometimes thousands and sometimes millions of dollars. You don’t always get what you have paid for.

  • @dunderhay9169
    @dunderhay9169 5 месяцев назад +1

    It's weird, I see King Seiko and I think lugs, they dominate that watch case style and honestly, I can't decide if I like them or not. It looks good on your wrist, and that dial looked fantastic in the sun. I look forward to one of your long term reviews.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +2

      I did have the same thought. I am finding the bigger lugs help give it a bit more presence which offsets the slightly smaller size.

  • @phillipedwards420
    @phillipedwards420 5 месяцев назад +1

    Really lovely watch!

  • @adk7962
    @adk7962 5 месяцев назад +1

    It’s a great looking watch. That drop off in price from new is a bit startling. Looking forward to the full review!

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +2

      It certainly is. But I’m happy that I was able to get it at this price.

  • @BCallum
    @BCallum 5 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks mate. It is very nice.

    @Horizontalvertigo 5 месяцев назад +1

    I presume that the blue wrapping is meant to be something like a furoshiki wrapping cloth

  • @runwhatyoubrung
    @runwhatyoubrung 5 месяцев назад +1

    The braclet definitely makes it look larger than the case size would suggest. Crazy pricey for that kind of movement though

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +2

      It really gives it a bit more wrist presence and offsets the smaller case.
      At this used price the movement makes sense. But it is hard to see how it does at full RRP

  • @MichaelOCallaghan-fq4ej
    @MichaelOCallaghan-fq4ej 5 месяцев назад +1

    You got me wanting a King Seiko now! Great video. 👍

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +1

      I held off until I found one at the right price.
      I’m very happy that I bought it. But also happy that I waited until I was comfortable with the price.

  • @stevemoon2136
    @stevemoon2136 5 месяцев назад +7

    With it's standard movement, this is not a KS IMO & just comes across as another Seiko cash grab. A vintage KS is really the only choice for a serious collector.

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +2

      I really enjoyed my vintage KS but am definitely enjoying this one too.
      Thanks for WATCHing

    • @borassictime918
      @borassictime918 5 месяцев назад +2

      I might be interested in the modern KS at 40% off SRP…but then the depreciation speaks volumes about the SRP. Seiko really should have put a better movement in these.

  • @John-fy7hx
    @John-fy7hx 5 месяцев назад +1

    Neat watch

  • @Zotrax1946
    @Zotrax1946 5 месяцев назад +1

    The built quality and finishing is quite spectacular! Yet the movement is a disappointment..
    I own 2 KS- 1971 gold dial VANAC and a 1974 HI BIT- both have much smoother movement 🤷🏼‍♂️

    • @WATCHingJames
      @WATCHingJames  5 месяцев назад +2

      It is a shame.
      Which is why I could not justify it at full or even discounted RRP.
      Made much more sense at this price.

    New king seikos are just even more overpriced presage watches. I'd go for a quartz GS instead.
