*PRICE CORRECTION* This Seeker is actually £425 and not £475. And it's just $499 for my American viewers! Even more of a bargain! 🤣😁🙏
Thank you for an awesome review and your support Kieron! We loved hearing your thoughts and all the little details you’ve pulled out. Looking forward to hearing the thoughts from your audience. All the best mate! Matt & Karim
Congratulations on a very nice watch. Love the execution; especially the domed crystal. Such a subtle addition of tactile luxury!
Thank you @Beechhill! ☺️💚
My pleasure guys. Keep up the great work! 🔥
Do you have authorised service centres outside UK?
Can you bring back the British Sky?
🙂
This is a stunning looking watch. The side profile is something I'd never seen before and is brilliant. The dial is also pretty special.
Yep! The side profile 👌 details that only true watchmakers and enthusiasts care about
Good looking watch, I think too much words over the 6 clock for a dress watch (Cambridge probably is enough there). Other than its perfect - Nice video Kieren!
This is one seriously good looking watch. Considering the saphire crystal, I personally would definitely want to wear this watch more than just as a dress piece. However, I need at least a date complication to justify that cost and to extend the usability scenarios (everything else is already there including awesome lume application). Bottom line, if it was 9015 instead of 9039 with a color matching date at 6 replacing some of that abundant print, it would go straight to my short-list. Nevertheless, as-is, it absolutely well rounded and beautiful watch. Breathe of fresh air. Thanks Kieron for giving it proper spotlight. And you are right, with 9039 and saphire (design is a given) this already hits above coctail time.
I think it absolutely has enough to be used as an everyday piece. Especially with that great lume, the legibility in general is quite good, 50m is more than acceptable for an everyday piece, sapphire... But yeah, I know a date is a must for some to be a considered an everyday beast. Nonetheless, it's one stylish piece 🙏 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment my friend
I would disagree regards the date complication. Sometimes it is better on an Automaitic not to have one for ease of setting. With a dress watch, unless it is a beater dress watch, it may sit in a box until your next function if its not part of a rotation. I have a Farer Mansfield that is almost double the price of this, and it benefits from not having a date complication as I tend to switch it out a lot.
Love that there is no date.
I think nice dials are spoiled by a date window.
I agree! I wish we saw more watches without a date window. I think it let's the designs really take centre stage
Check out the stunning Citizen Automatic Silver Leaf Lacquer Blue Dial NB1060-12L. Amazing dial and finish!
Stunning watch. The size is perfect too. Thanks for the video.
Not really into dress watches. Got to admit it’s a good looking watch. Another good vid mate
This is one beautiful looking watch with stunning dail and hands ❤❤ I love the subtle look
I'd take one of these over the cocktail range any day, Just checked the range out and defo put on wish list
The brand name is kinda big but otherwise it’s kind of a banger. 😊
Exactly my thoughts. I could use without the brand name at all, just the logo, which is nice. A simple automatic at the bottom is sufficient to balance the dial, but for me the name so big is the deal killer.
Stunning! As usual Beaucroft have crafted a beautiful watch. Elegant case style, simple but stylish hands and indices and a striking dial.
I agree this rivals the Seiko cocktail time.
Very well done Beaucroft 👏
Great review as always Kieron, cheers 👍
Watches like this make me not want a date complication anymore. The perfect symmetry is 👌
Cheers Rik, hope all is well my friend 🙏
LOVED IT! ♥
Thank you Luciana 🙏 appreciate you watching
Awesome looking watch and well explained. 😊
Thank you kindly!
I have this watch, but with the lighter Mint Green dial. On the Beaucroft website, this watch is $499 USD, not the $600 in your description. But, it's a good dress watch and I like it!
Thank you for pointing that out, I've corrected the amount in the description and left it as an update as a pinned comment 🙏
I love it. I'll keep an eye out for a good used one
Mine is the plain white dial. Currently it's my everyday work watch, although my Second HourMemoir gets used as well. I'm the guy who bumped into you and Jason at British Watch Day when I had Just purchased it.
That dial is gorgeous. Wish they did the double fume dial in the other colors as well.
I've been on to Matt telling him he needs to do some more colours, don't worry! I think a wine red one would be 👌
Very nice size and specs. Price is a little high for an unknown brand but everything else sounds perfect. I love the cocktail time and would happily buy one despite the lower spec. However this is a serious contender.
Price is actually cheaper than I state in the video (an error on my part). It's actually £425 or $499. Which makes it even more of a bargain. I'll never be considering the cocktail time again personally, this watch is just too good. I wouldn't be able to live with the flaws knowing that they don't exist elsewhere
Yeah I think I’m with you. I know it’s nonsense but I still love to own a watch with history, but appreciate this probably makes me a bit of a sucker at times. Very tempted by this one I must say. Great review.
nice looking watch and i have too disagree about the strap. seems like a very good length for 7 and up. i hav an 8 inch wrist and wish more companies would make longer straps.
Thank you for introducing me to this brand. The watch presented is a _stunning_ piece and certainly worthy of being in that conversation of affordable dress watches. I have a few Seiko cocktail time versions and I enjoy them. This watch certainly has lots going for it and the price point would make me strongly consider it over any future Seikos. I want to stress, for *me* all that text on the dial is diminishing my enthusiasm. If there was a version sans the brand and model name it would be an *_instant_* buy and I would mark the expected delivery date to lament over as the excitement built. Perhaps they could implement such a choice on future offerings? I hope so.
Beaucroft actually offers a piece unique service where they'll design a watch with you. I'm not sure what the price looks like on that sort of thing but I know it's an incredibly cool thing to do.
The dress watch is always an area I've struggled with... This one has come the absolute closest to being the one. And it still might be.
I'm just glad the beauty comes across on video... Sometimes the aesthetic doesn't translate well. Because it really is one of the prettier watches I've seen in person 🔥
Thanks for watching my friend. Stay well 🙏
It doesn't have the patterns, and by extension, light play, of the Seikos, but it is just as beautiful.
If they had a 38-39mm version, I’d be on this one like stink on shit !
Good stuff, mate.
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching 🙏
Mate, you pick out some superb watches. Beautiful range of watches. Great to see high level design and engineering coming back to the cradle of design and engineering, Blighty.
Much appreciated!
I agree 🙏 it's great to see British watchmaking back on the map!
Really interesting...but I'm still favouring either a cocktail time or Bambino. Great looking piece though.
I own this seeker teal and it´s realy a very beautiful super comfortable watch
This isn’t a watch you wear in the shower anyway. The price is very good for a watch with as much hand made detail. People will pay for what they generally want.
Beautiful colour.
Great video.
Very well said. 50m is fine for everyday life! And I agree, beautiful, perfect colour. Hats off to Beaucroft. Thanks for watching Maxina 🙏
Nice watch!
I always find the seiko presage a little too big for a dress watch imo. They just nailed the dimensions and its just not only a dress watch but also a day to day use for anyone who's looking for a good looking watch tbh.
The movement, dial design and LUME ON A DRESSY WATCH, like what more you can ask for. I may not able to afford this but what a time piece. I'm pretty sure it will even get compliments to anyone wears it.❤
Totally agree my friend. Everyone has loved it who's seen it on my wrist. It's one of those watches that's just got a near-perfect beautiful dial design 🙏
Seiko Presage Negroni is 38mm, that watch is great for £400
beautiful
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching 🙏
That's a really good looking watch, if a little on the expensive side, although I would prefer to see a date at the 6 and maybe a screw in back, I would still choose it over the cocktail time.
An intelligent man I see. I can't stress enough how much this watch has grown on me. I'm struggling to take it off and send it back to them 😂
Well you could always send it to me LOL
Seems like a nice watch, Nicely spect for 500 USD. I think the Seiko coctail watch is not very good being too thick, too heavy cheap mineral crystal and I don't see the value for what you get. I like high-beat watches for a smoother second hand and I like slim and light weight.
@beaucroftwatches, what about servicing outside UK?
Good review, enthusiastic as usual - one thing, you said the watch is £475.00 then linked to a picture of the website showing it is actually £425.00
Thank you for pointing that out, you are correct. I'm sure I have some kind of number dyslexia... Always getting my numbers jumbled. Thanks for watching, I'll add this correction as a pinned comment 🙏
bambino is a classic affordble dress watch
Wow this one I like
Beautiful isn't it 😍
Coctail times are nice but overrated. I own one but I find I wear my Orient Bambino much more often.
Looks good but too many words on dial, I'd remove the Cambridge and just keep Beaucroft and size it down a little. Secondly, the movement, Miyota 9039 is just average, the rotors are known to be quite noisy. Seiko Presage has better movements, that are more reliable and quiet. I like the style of the watch watch though, and the leaf hands. Beautifully designed, with a nice decoration on the rotor. I would not say this is better than a Seiko Presage, Seiko has a long history of watchmaking compared to a startup company, and all their watches are built inhouse but it's a nice alternative for it's original dial.
The crown looks like an alarm clock button..
It would be great if you made a video on the Titanium Casio Lineage LCW M100 TSE, for about 150 pounds you get a JDM watch, full titanium construction, sapphire crystal, solar, atomic time and much more!
Yes I had mine on when I read your comment, It was a present last Christmas, and it's a watch I find hard to fault, just brilliant
@@John-P Mine just arrived from Japan a week ago and it is indeed a brilliant piece and worth the wait, got the applied indices version with the black sunburst dial.
@@mohamedsabry5345 same here....enjoy!!
I'll see if I can find one for review mate. Leave it with me 🙏
@@TopTierTicker It'll be great to see your review on it!
NH35=>4R35 NH35 is the unbranded verision?
Correct
Iam a watch , knife and sunglasses addicted 😂....Tell me about a other addiction you have my friend 😊
Thankfully I haven't ventured into the knife side of things yet. I've got a couple of decent ones and I'm happy with them. I'm also addicted to buying watch straps and my guilty pleasure (pokemon cards) 👌
@@TopTierTicker oooo don't feel guilty.... I don't know do you are married man if you are just counted wifey shoes and bags 😀
10.5 thikness instead of 14mm on seiko ... I know who is the winner here :)
It's those NH movements man, they just chunky bois 🤣
Nice watch but too small for me.
Thanks for watching!
The Seiko looks hella better though
Oranges to apples. Entirely different watches that share the name dress watch
Waay too much text at the bottom- WHAT were they thinking ?!! 😯. If I need something to read I’ll carry a book fgs 🙄
No way!
I know! Couldn't believe it myself either
Sorry, the Seiko Cocktail Time is better. Not even close. Bought mine from Long Island Watch for $336. Don't know where you're getting your prices.
I like no date watch.
Nice watch! Is there a male version out, too?
Sounds like insecurity to me
You havent seen how 37mm dresswatch looks on my over 8inch wrist. So, it can be too small.
Thank you for putting the price in pounds. I think it's been pissing quite a few Brits off that you quote prices in dollars. Why not quote both prices then everyone's happy?
This is a British brand, so pounds is the native currency. Most brands deal in dollars, so I talk about dollars. I really don't think people are 'pissed off' about this. And if they are, that's pretty sad.
@@TopTierTicker Is it? I'll unsubscribe then. You don't want saddos like me hanging around.
@@TopTierTicker It pisses me off when you give price in dollar. It means nothing to 60 million people in your own country.
No, it is not for me. Definitely not better looking than Seiko cocktail time. And there is the LOGO. Terrible. Good review though.
This does not beat the Seiko Cocktail 😂😂😂😂
Objectively, it does in quite a few areas :)
18mm lugs
37mm size
great watch for your wife I guess
Do you need a big watch to prove your masculinity? Genuine question...
@@TopTierTicker No, I need a watch to fit my wrist. Thanks for asking.
@@WoodEe-zq6qv Well, just say that instead of posting sexist comments.
So insecure 😂
What a colour!! Shes a beaut ❤
too feminine for me
