This design really grows on me.... Have one on the way. I agree that this is the size that suits this watch. Looking forward to it. Thanks again for the review.
Great review mate. These do look really nice, if a touch on the thick side though. I was impressed by their Doxa homage when I reviewed that. This one looks to be just as good too.
George, thanks for the great video and the great watch. I'm thinking of ordering one, the size is spot on, not like the other homages that tend to be bigger and cumbersome. You've got a new subscriber. Best regards all the way from Mexico
Terrific review, George! I have one incoming and it should arrive very soon. I had a San Martin 62 a few years ago and sold it. Once I saw the 37mm Seestern, and now having experience owning and handling other Seestern pieces, I know I will love this watch! Seestern's fit and finish and overall quality is really unbelievable for the money.
I just got mine. The case is 38mm, the bezel is 39mm. On first impression it is well made. Sapphire glass, all stainless steel,. No misspelling on the back cover, bezel action is crisp and back play is almost none. The movement feels solid. I ordered a seiko 62mas dial replica from ebay. The plan is to swap out the seestern dial for the seiko 62mas. There is nothing wrong with the seestern dial. I just do it, because I can.
I think this could be potentially the best 62mas homage on AliExpress. I'm thinking about grabbing one to feature on the channel and maybe even to keep in the collection. Great work with the review
Excellent watch! I'm really interested in this brand. The quality seems to be right up there. 38mm is a bit small for my 8" wrist but it's a lovely size for most people! Great review as always George.
Hey Brian. Thanks for the support. So far I'm actually quite impressed with what I'm seeing. I hope they keep up the same standards with future models. Thanks again
Hey George great review and an awesome little watch. I was wondering if you think this would look too small on a 7.5 in wrist. I love how Seestern did this homage and it is also the one that most resonated with me. Thanks for the video.
Yes! "SE-MONSTER" "WATER RESITANT" "SAPPHRE". You can see it on this watch in this video as he talks about how nice the case back is. But even worse is the fact that 1/2 the time you pop the crown back in after setting the time, the watch doesn't start ticking. I have no idea how long the watch will last, but I bet a $20 watch from "winner" will last longer than this thing. Why are reviewers ignoring these things on RUclips? Are they afraid to sour a relationship with a new brand and stop getting free review watches?
I just got mine and there are no misspelling. The movement is solid and works as supposed to. When I set the time and pop the crown back the movement starts right away.
Nice review and video shots. With all of the 62 Mas homages available, you probably won't hear this often, "I wish it had a 41 or 42mm case." 🙂 But, that is my sentiment. This is the one I would have bought! ... Instead, I just ordered the Heimdallr - black dial on a strap.
Always liked the look of the 62mas but it was too big until this came out. I’ve small wrists so this will be perfect.Now that it’s been out for a fair while the price is £95.Do you really wear your watch b4 the knuckle 😮
@@redtill1 Hey there, thanks for the comment and support. I wear my watches loose because my wrists swell up 😂 I also have a watch on during night and again, I prefer them looser . I really don't care if it's below or above the bone, but there you go!
1🎯🎯% A wordmark is ALWAYS better than a symbol on the dial (or both wordmark AND symbol 🙄). Unless it's the Greek letter "Omega" in which case it IS kinda both but in a good way.
Your vid convinced me to get one but due to over excitement i forgot not to adjust the watch in the evening. I have adjusted it around 9:00pm from date of 15 to 17.. Does it mean that my watch is about to get a problem soon?
Great review George,I have 62 mas,4,,,, I am thinking of getting the seestern,I have a 8 inch wrist, does it wear bigger than it's measurements,, cheers
Hey there. Thanks for the comment. This wears more like a 39 but not bigger. I have a 6.3 inch wrist and it suits me perfect. Might look a bit smaller on your wrist. San Martin and Heimdallr do a 40 and 41 mm version that might suit. Thanks again
son cool Ive discovered your channel. idk hey I've ended here, but the San Martin retro Rolex diver brought me here. Question....sould I buy the SM or save more for the BB58 ?? Cool channel, mate. Well done!
Hey there. Thanks for the comment and support. They're 2 different styles believe it or not. The BB58 wear a bit larger, the lug to lug is longer. Thanks again for the comment and support.
Good review. I think the 62MAS looks better on a bracelet. I used to own a SM MK1 version which was excellent, although the bezel was dreadful. Seestern look like they are producing very good watches, at excellent prices. Unlike most Chinese brands, the name is acceptable as well. Would love them to some of their own designs.
@@stevenhershman2660 i think a channel named The watcher reviewed one recently.. and he complained about the price. Never had one but I think that you shouldn't spend more than a couple of hinder on any of the 62mas homage. Thanks again for the support.

There are some misspelled words on the case back: Sapphire, Resistant, and possibly Sea. That last one may have been done on purpose, I'm not sure. Do you know if this has been corrected in later versions?
Hey there , thanks for the comment and support. I don't think so , since they never released a V2 and to my knowledge that was never mentioned by the manufacturer.
The See is not misspelled that is how Germans spell it and done on purpose I believe (since Seestern means starfish in German - hence the logo). I did catch the other two misspellings as well .. a bit disappointing - obviously you don't see it on the wrist but it is annoying knowing it is there on the caseback. I have their v2 Doxa homage on the way so I'll be on the lookout for it there.
@@karlsenula9495 I was actually referring to the caseback, where it says SE MONSTER. Sorry, I didn't make that clear. Apparently, this case back was for another watch. Just knowing those misspellings were on the case back is enough to drive me nuts. I hope they get it corrected, if they haven't already.
Funny enough .. I've had watches sent over to Ireland that took so much longer than expected . And I've had friends that received watches in the UK in a very short amount of time. I think in both cases the key word is patience. Thanks again
Hey there. Thanks for the comment. I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly if you can buy an after market bezel on this since Seiko's original one is a different size to my understanding.
You should have a look at the Tandorio 62 MAS homage it is phenomenal and it has a choice of movement nh35 or the PT5000 and it's nearly half of the price. Probably the best value-quality watch on aliexpress!!!
@@WatcheswithGeorge you won't be disappointed if you get one and a recommendation for you get yourself the PT5000 movement version I have got one and I have been checking the accuracy and it is under two seconds a day fast. I was not exaggerating when I said it is the best quality for the price it's as good as watches costing ten times the price.
Thanks for the comment my man. That's one of the things that makes this such a a good piece for me .. if it had a metal bracelet than it would be the ideal piece! Thanks again for the comment.
What Seestern should have done is levelled off the case back with very thin Lazer work allowing at least 1.5mm thinner - used a curved dome Sapphire, not box dome- and made the bezel insert narrower - then you'd have a watch. Not sure why they chose to go the path they did. Also they have quality control issues, my crown is very wobbly and doesn't unscrew easily
Hey man. Thank you for the comment and support. It all depends how you like your watches. For a 62MAS homage it's the smallest one you can get as far as I know. I think it's the perfect size for my wrist. Hope this helps
I just bought a red dial version, really liking it :) Very interesting from your macro shots the difference in the hands to mine. I rather like the simpler style on your one with the full width lume.
Hey there . Thanks for the comment. I mean that I have to mention this because this is RUclips policy and I am objective in my reviews because this is the I do them .. no one will pay us in any way to influence the content and we're too small for that. Thanks for the question and the support.

I stongly disagree, the printed brand name looks super clean, imagine that tacky starfisch on the 12! That would make this look like shit
Totally agree. I'm not married to any brand. That's why I chose this rather than a San Martin sexagon or heimdallr shark.
1🎯🎯% A wordmark is ALWAYS better than a symbol on the dial (or both wordmark AND symbol 🙄). Unless it's the Greek letter "Omega" in which case it IS kinda both but in a good way.
Wish they would reconsider that ceramic bezel. I find it too shiny for a tool watch and too black for the grey dial
