**Important Note**
I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .
Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.
"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

Looks cool. I would put the bolts back on.
Amazing watch but the bastr ards still haven't lined up the seconds hand with the indices
jinxUKBK Yes, you are right. I ended up not keeping this watch and that was one of the reasons why. Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you’ll subscribe! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we’ll be doing another watch giveaway! You won’t want to miss it!
Beautiful watch, even better looking without the shroud.
But that seconds hand misalignment would drive me insane!
Really makes me scratch behind the ear before considering buying one of these.
Maybe I'd have the chapter ring replaced for one without the seconds marks.
Thanks for watching! Yeah the second hand not hitting is a shame!
I think the watch looks 1000 times better without the shroud. Cheers for the vid.
Thank you for watching!
Interesting. Never seen this Seiko before. Doesn’t look bad without the shroud actually.
Avg. Joe Watch Reviews Thanks for watching my friend! I ended up flipping this watch, I liked it but didn’t need it. Plus the seconds hand didn’t line up. It’s a nice looking piece.
J. City Reviews where do you flip your pieces?
@@AvgJoeWatchReviews I've sold a few watches on eBay.
Extremely cool!! Thanks! I waiting for my tuna :)!
Thanks for watching! I'm sure you'll enjoy your tuna once you get it! I hope you'll subscribe to the channel if you're not already! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we'll be doing another watch giveaway! You won't want to miss it!
Someone should sell plugs to fill in the holes that are the depth to be flush.
Filling down the screws to the depth of the holes is easier, faster and inexpensive alternative.
I like it. Looks like a totally different watch.
Thanks for watching!
If only SIEKO spent a bit more money on putting metal shroud on their solar models like what is found as standard on the (ok more expensive) Prospex Automatics (I reviewed it actually several times). I know their marketing is to keep as standard the metal shrouds on the more expensive models eg 1000m divers etc. But now with so many after market trick parts manufacturers making metal shrouds....... I think too for all the actual diving watches in this format, those plastic shrouds will look like terrible after a few serious dives. I've accidentally banged up my metal shroud on my Prospex several times which such force it would just rip gashes out of the plastic shrouds. Thanks for showing!
Bush Camping Tools Thanks for watching and commenting! I hear what you’re saying, the plastic shrouds do seem like they could break pretty easily with enough force!
I bought this watch today 1/06/23..i have the blacked out version and the crown when pulled out all the way has alot of play in it,sloppy wobbly..however the second hand hits every tic on the second track/chapter ring..out of all my quartz this is the only one that does this.over all I like the watch
Hope you enjoy yours! Thanks for watching!
I always wondered what my baby tuna looked like w out the shroud
Now you know! Thanks for watching!
I think it looks better, more refined and classic. I suppose you could just screw in some grommet screws to fill the exposed holes? I'm guessing they're 6mm screws
Christian Mills Thanks for watching and commenting! I think this watch looks great both ways! I’m not sure what size screws they are specifically. I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already, at 1000 subscribers I’ll be doing another watch giveaway!
What happens when the 3 Torx T6 are removed ? Is it still waterproof or do the 3 screws have to go back in ? If so do they fit into the case flush (ish) So much better without the shroud ;)
maxmixer Thanks for watching. This is a good question that I don’t really know the answer to sorry. I no longer have this watch to try and see if the screws would be flush.
Looks nice both ways, but smaller at 40 mm. Put the screws back in though.
Thanks for watching!
The shroud too of course, restricts where one can grasp the bezel in order to set it. May not be an issue to some. These days there is a strong movement to wear a dive watch just for the looks (I guess this is perfectly ok as they are usually tough watches by design), so one may never bother to set the "elapsed time' at all if not diving.
Bush Camping Tools Yes, that is a good point! You can only really grip the bezel where the cutouts are in the shroud. Thanks again for watching and commenting! Seems like you have a good channel going! I hope you’ll subscribe here! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we’ll be doing another watch giveaway! You won’t want to miss it!
@@TheTownWatch I'll sub you! I know how difficult it is to get subbers when one start out. Hope you'l check my watch reviews too (only a few though LOL as yet!).
Just purchased the blue version. The watch is outstanding. However, my sweep hand hits the marks dead center and yours doesn't. Don't know if it's my good luck or they made a production adjustment. I have many Seikos' and this one is a favorite already.
Glad you’re enjoying your blue one and that the second hand is on target!
Your lucky, mine seems to miss every single mark.
@@chrisbloem6639 go to a local store and have it adjusted. not a big problem, if not, no one but you notice.
is it still water resistant without the screws put back in? thanks
That’s a good question that I’m really it sure about. Thanks for watching!
Qual ano de fabricacao deste modelo ? Pelase
How susceptible are the screw holes to taking in water? Frankly, without the shroud, it pretty much looks like the Seiko "Bottle Cap." If memory serves that model was only 40mm.
Greg Alonzo That’s a good point about the screw holes it might affect the water resistance.
Bottle cap is actually 44mm
@@charlie_yt1164, my bad. Thanks for the clarification. Relative Time also said the watch was larger. He quoted 45mm but wore more like 43mm. Now that gets me interested because I like bigger watches. 😀👍
@@gregalonzo747 bottle cap tapers from the under side to the crystal. That's why it looks small.
So eh, what's behind the caseback? Does it feature an adjustmentscrew to make it run faster/slower so you can make it more accurate?
I don't believe so. Thanks for watching.
@@TheTownWatch Why won't you take a look?
@@Smartzenegger It's not a mechanical movement, it is a solar quartz
@@TheTownWatch I know that. Why do you think that I think it's a mechanical watch???
@@TheTownWatch All mechanical watches have adjustent capabilities, so why should I ask for that anyway???
My goodness. It's a G-Shock and an SKX in one watch.
That’s a good way to put it!
Could u tell me the diameter of the watch case without shroud? Thank you very much!
Sorry don't think I got that measurement. I don't have this watch anymore.
THUMBS DOWN! you took my poor boy's pyjamas off - you monster! (thanks for showing us :D )
Can you turn the bezel? Is that operable?
Yes, the bezel is operable when the shroud is removed.
It could be thread locker... It could be lube....
Hmmm two very different things XD
Did I say both of those . . . 😅 Whoops!
What sort of occasions does this watch best suit? Would this watch go well in a casual setting? Please don't reply with "Wear it however you want" because that's not what i'm asking.
I definitely think this a casual watch for sure! You could definitely wear it in the water too. Thanks for watching.
@@TheTownWatch Thanks man, also why is there so many different SNE numbers what do they mean? so far i've seen SNE537, SNE543, SNE498.
Arthur Shelby Different colors and possibly designs. Are you subscribed to the channel? I hope you will if not! We have a giveaway going on right now that you should check out.
@Arthur Shelby....I think the fact that this watch is part of the "Street Series" is an indication that it's for casual use, I would say. 👍
I’d leave the shroud off and just put the hex screws back in. 🤘🏻😎👌🏻
Thanks for watching! That would be an interesting look!
Looks good, maybe better!
Thanks for watching and commenting! You might be right!
you can 3D print new Shroud for better appearance
That's awesome! Thanks for watching and sharing!
Keep the protector shrouded on it better
Why does plastic cost so much? Seiko is losing my love. I want an all-metal tuna with a solar movement in a compact case. I have a turtle and it is way too inaccurate for which I don't want another automatic Seiko, and I seriously expect a better bezel action with better materials.
VARUN U I hear you, I know I’ve seen some all metal tunas but I don’t think they are solar. Thanks for watching!
Agreed my friend, looking to get one of these but they could so easily increase the quality without gigantic price hikes like king turtle etc. here’s hoping 🤞
Thanks for a great Vid too dude!
I have the same watch and want to replace it with a stainless steel shroud. I'm trying to find a source, If you know of any suppliers I would ask for you recommendations. Ta.
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately off the top of my head I don’t know where to point you for that. Have you heard of Random Rob’s channel? He might be someone who would know.
@@TheTownWatch found a supplier. I think I may treat myself to either a stainless steel or a gun metal grey... take a look. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstitchesandbuckles.com%2F&h=AT2oPINPK33WAvBANDXDACROC5jzKwKf8Zgme0w-H6-Xa6A27trRglALaCizgIk0om4RuTlDLfz5MMQihIHHX6tAhYIBt1LpxNaP1hNklbntE2BIa54BaWIA9UHDc4UB6W1PX4_LIw
Adrian Duggan Glad you found what you were looking for! I hope it works out well. I checked them out through that link, they look like quality but they’re not cheap!
try yokobies
looks better...
Groove Hammer Thanks for watching! Some have said the same thing.
Dont like this kind of design for a bezel ....jusg seems like its a trap for dust and debris
Dust and debris can definitely get between the bezel and shroud. Thanks for watching.
I have one on order and may just remove the shroud permanently.
I hope you enjoy it! It is a cool piece! Thanks for watching! I hope you'll subscribed to the channel!
J. City Reviews Your welcome. Already did. I am enjoying your content. My every day wear right now is the citizen tough (on a bertucci zulu strap) and it is amazing as well (and you know).
012345678 9876543210 Awesome! Thank you! I love my Promaster Tough!
shroud should have been metal... one reason I won't get this watch
can you put the screws back on without the shroud?
I'm sure you probably could and it might look kind of cool too!
Use locktite BLUE .......normal locktite will never come out
Thanks for the info!
I wouldn’t call it a tuna
ACIM222 What would you call it?
actually is a seiko monster
Better with.
Shawn Lavigne Thanks for watching!
Ok, now I am considering buying this. It looks fantastic! It just blew my mind that this robust and 300m watch becomes the size of a Presage.
I would only ask if by putting the screws back, do they protrude out to 46mm.
I guess they do, so I would need to find or ask my watch maker to put in some flat ones to close those gaps.
I've also seen another video where guy removed the shroud, put it on a leather and it just looks insane.
It is so vintage, a whole circle down case that I love.
Also it is solar.
Amazing! I am gonna put the reference video link, so you have the Idea how to upgrade your content.
Peace!

Igor Stanić Thanks for watching! This is a beautiful watch with or without the shroud! It is 200m WR though. Thanks for the link, I am a subscriber to Peter’s channel. He makes good content for sure! I hope you’ll subscribe to my channel I have a number of other videos that I hope are becoming better in quality!
Bottle cap
