For those concerned about watch size, those with 6.25 / 6.5 inch wrists, the short lug to lug works great, plus the case around the bezel looks smaller in person when on the wrist.
The longer I got into the video the more I really dig the two tone. I picked my black dial on bracelet brand new on Ebay for 170.00dollars. Pretty good deal I feel. I have a seiko Sarx055 and a sary 057 and 55 and it's right there in looks with the presage line minus the cheaper feep of the Seiko 5 bracelet and the 6r15 movement in my sarx. But the 4r is also a very good out the box movement. I dont have a ton of money, I'm just a Country bus driver....the only luxury end watch I own is a Omega seamaster 300 automatic. And I like it.... but ive become a real Seiko maniac the last several years. I love my Seiko Flightmaster, my sarx and sary line, my skx007 mod, my seiko 7002 diver mod, and my Seiko Turtle homage to the Apocalypse now...the 4k version though. Hahaa. Again thanks for the good video and I did hit subscribe and look forward to watching your cool videos.
I love my Seikos…70’s through 2015 when I got my Sarb 017 Alpinist. But for mods I just go straight to Mark over at Long Island Watch. Wearing my ISL 73 now. Sapphire, 38 mm , Jubilee with solid end links, drilled lugs, bezel that lines up and a 4R 36 movement and 200 M. Set me back $329.00 USD. These watches do compete in every way but heritage with Seikos. Called Islanders. Great vid. Just subbed.
I have the brushed version with the mat black dial, wear it on a dark blue strap, looks kinda toolish and I wear it at work driving a forklift, I love mine.
Just picked up the 51. They are sweet watches. It really does form around my wrist like it was custom made for me. Also, I don't understand why people complain about the bracelets like they are so terrible that you cannot wear them. Bracelet looks awesome on mine, and it fits awesome. Grey color looks lighter in person than in videos.
Funny that Lorier was brought up as looking better in the metal than in pictures, and maybe the Gemini does but the Falcon 2 looks exquisite in all of the photos and online images - unfortunately almost none of the pop in the images translated in the metal with the white dial version. It's a good looking, well made watch, but legibility is lacking, the details featured on the dial like the diamond waffle pattern are too slight to have any impact and the bracelet tapers so much that it looks dainty once it's on the wrist. I tried on one of the new Seiko 5 SRPE and it was a world of difference. Sold the Lorier, bought an SRPE057 and saved a good chunk of money.
I am torn between the black and the grey dial. The sunburst is cool and all but it seems a bit too flashy for everyday use. I guess the brushed black one (with a strapcode jubilee?) would be more readable and versatile. Simple but classy. But that might just be me overthinking it 😉
I know what you mean! I like the sunburst gray, as well. But; I am also leaning more toward the SRPE67 with the black dial, brushed bezel, and nylon strap. I will add a bracelet from Long Island Watch, and a few nylon straps w/ quick release pins from Barton. 👍🍻 Good video by the way!!
Haha! Congratulations!!! You’re going to love that do-it-all timepiece. Wear it in great health and thanks for watching, Hector. Always happy to see you stopping by the channel, my friend.
Great review. I have the black dial version with a Long Island oyster bracelet. I'll be adding a saphire crystal soon. It's a very versatile watch, and btw it also looks great with a leather strap. Finally, you have a fantastic broadcasting voice. Best wishes, and thanks again for the review. Just subscribed.
I would like the 5kx better if it had a screw in crown. I dont trust a push pull crown in water. I did buy this dresskx and ordered a better bracelet plus modded it with a sapphire crystal. Damn good watch for the price.
I appreciated detailed impressions and overall feel and experience, thank you. Btw i love this watch for what it is, seiko did a very nice exact replica of the TUDOR Heritage Black Bay 41 79540 wich is a great value for money especially when coming from Seiko. Thanks buddy! Cheers!
Picked up a new srpe55 for $146 shipped. Just an absurd value. I was certain I'd need to replace the bracelet and so far, even it has surpassed my expectations.
Hi there my friend, I have the grey bezeless with NATO strap and will soon have the blue too, absolutely love new Seiko 5 bezeless and bezel version ( have one of those too) Your review caught my eye and I really enjoyed it, you have a great TV voice,
@@KnifeWatch Hello. Since that post of mine I've been impressed with the time keeping and the way it feels and looks. Very solid piece at this price I paid. I recently picked up 3 weeks ago a very cool (In my opinion) Seiko Spirit Szsb011. It has the 4r35 movement and a hardlex crystal. 3 years ago I purchased the Seiko Sary055 which is the same movement but has a Sapphire crystal. So I was kind of surprised this Seiko Spirit has a Hardlex. But I will say this Seiko Spirit Szsb011 does look cool and feel cool. I've seen a few on Ebay brand new for 400. Get it while you can at that price because we all see how much the Seiko Sarb is going for nowadays. Take care and thanks for the good videos. Alot of information that I like to learn and pass on.
Absolutely, however haven’t seen any yet. I’ve heard some rumors about Long Island Watch making some, and I’m sure strapcode is working on some yet being patient for now. I’ll grab a jubilee-style one as soon as I can.
Another great video Ryan! Keep them coming! The two tone steel and gold version has a very strong ‘70s/‘80s vibe (and I mean that as a good thing). The affordable sports watch collection I dream about: - Two tone: Seiko 5 Sports SRPE58K1 (steel & rose gold) - Blue dial: Lorier Neptune III (blue & silver) - Black dial: Baltic Aquascaphe black cream - Green dial: Seiko 5 Sports SRPD (rose gold indexes) - Grey dial: Yema Flygraf Pilot M2
Amazing collection ideas here. I’m sure it will continue to evolve yet you’ve got a solid setup for any situation right there. Thanks for watching, Daniël!

I've made an order two days ago and I am waiting for it. I have 6.25 inch wrist and I am afraid of being big on my wrist.. So thanks 👍🏼
@@Sohaib0O0why did you sell it?
This feels like it might be the next cult Seiko, kind of like the SKX has become.
Couldn’t agree with you more
I bought just bought a couple days ago SRPE67 with black dial and it is my first watch ever. Absolutely loving it so far!

Dimensions are always welcome. Pls do mention them in your videos
The grey sunburst dial is killing!

your voice is very comforting
Thanks!
That two tone on a black leather band accented with a gold wedding band would really be a killer combo. I think Ima get me one!
That’s exactly how I put it together. Black lizard strap

No I Like the direction you’re taking here. Black is a great idea for any dial

Good video by the way!!
This is certainly on my list in the near future
My friend, happy to have your perspective. Certainly closer to your next price point.
Beginner watch collector and this is my first Automatic watch SRPE57
That’s awesome! How are you enjoying it after one month?
@@KnifeWatch I'm loving the Seiko SRPE57 and I'm thinking of getting the SEPE51 it's on sale at Macy's for $200
You're absolutely right - gold, champagne watch colors go well with darker completions.
Good content. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for watching, my friend! So happy you’ve chosen to let me into your RUclips feed. I am very grateful.
I thought only Brits said "Not my cup of tea"!
Good vid.
I just ordered one. The srpe55 to be exact. Black dial/shiney bezel on bracelet. Your video sold me on it. Damn you knifewatch, damn yooooouuuuu! 😂
Haha! Congratulations!!! You’re going to love that do-it-all timepiece. Wear it in great health and thanks for watching, Hector. Always happy to see you stopping by the channel, my friend.
Seiko is Honda for watches.
They do things perfectly for the purpose they're thought for
Great review. I have the black dial version with a Long Island oyster bracelet. I'll be adding a saphire crystal soon. It's a very versatile watch, and btw it also looks great with a leather strap.
Finally, you have a fantastic broadcasting voice. Best wishes, and thanks again for the review. Just subscribed.
just bought one and wanted to validate my purchase with this video :)
Best way to celebrate a fantastic watch!!!
Wow that gold does look good on the wrist.
I would like the 5kx better if it had a screw in crown. I dont trust a push pull crown in water. I did buy this dresskx and ordered a better bracelet plus modded it with a sapphire crystal. Damn good watch for the price.
Nice set up! Which bracelet did you get?
I was definitely looking at these as my first automatic watch, but then I got a good deal on a used seiko SARX035 and I'm in love with it.
I appreciated detailed impressions and overall feel and experience, thank you. Btw i love this watch for what it is, seiko did a very nice exact replica of the TUDOR Heritage Black Bay 41 79540 wich is a great value for money especially when coming from Seiko. Thanks buddy! Cheers!
I think Tudor made a seiko 5 🤷
Picked up a new srpe55 for $146 shipped. Just an absurd value. I was certain I'd need to replace the bracelet and so far, even it has surpassed my expectations.
Glad you like it! It’s a perfect every day watch for anyone
Where did you get it from for $146?
Cool vid, I just bought the grey dial. Just subbed!
How are you enjoying it so far!
Hi there my friend, I have the grey bezeless with NATO strap and will soon have the blue too, absolutely love new Seiko 5 bezeless and bezel version ( have one of those too)
Your review caught my eye and I really enjoyed it, you have a great TV voice,
Thanks that's very kind of you
I just got mine on a Amazon deal. $178. Liked and subbed
Great review👍🏽👍🏽,Nice info
Just ordered the srpe51k1 too,great looking new style,and with nice dimensions..
Hi! Sorry to bother you. I just bought mine and I noticed that the rotor makes a subtle zippery bearing sound when it spins, is it normal?
Man! This is the first video of yours that I watch, and your voice is so cool! Great video, thanks. You have a new sub
Thank you so much Jorge, I appreciate that so much. Grateful for you stopping by the channel and leaving a note, my friend.
Absolutely Beautiful watch and a must have. The grey dial
It’s nice!
I will buy this watch but my wrist is 6.5 mm. Hope it fits well 🤗👼🏻
Should work well
I have the SRPE58 (rose gold 2-tone) and love it. I'm considering getting the SRPE60 (yellow gold 2-tone) as well.
I think gold looks way better on a dark skin or dark clothes
So true. The contrast is gorgeous
Great video, love to see more on this watch!
Just picked up the black dial. I like the way it looks for sure.. good video. Thank you.
Thank you my friend. How are you enjoying it so far?

I think the gold watch looks great on you.
This dresskx is the SKX with perfect proportions.
Awesome review, new sub, I'm about to buy this watch, do you think it would look good in a 6.5 inch wrist?
José, yes, absolutely.
Does it use titanium nitride or titanium carbon nitride for the gold plating?
You’ll have to ask Seiko!
Great work, on a great watch from a great brand!
You do pull the gold off well.
Is the bracelet solid?
No
Beautiful watch. Great review 👍
Thank you my friend!
Thanks, great video!
Thank you, Ivan! Take care.
I have the srpe57 and this is the best review I have seen. I was curious about a Milanese bracelet with it so thanks for showing it off. Just subbed.
Nice video! Got your eye on any after market bracelets for the grey version you have?
Absolutely, however haven’t seen any yet. I’ve heard some rumors about Long Island Watch making some, and I’m sure strapcode is working on some yet being patient for now. I’ll grab a jubilee-style one as soon as I can.
@@KnifeWatch Check out uncle seiko! Has a jubilee offered
Yes - that gold is awesome on you. It wouldn’t work on my wrist
$175 at Macy right now! 1-17-2021

Nice voice bro! Nice video as well
Damn that gold mesh and two tone combo looks killer.
Every once in a while the giant reminds us what a giant can do. Micro brands would be crushed by offering this value.
Couple good points in the video.Love two tone 5KX love two tone gold.think I'll be going with the blue one on bracelet with this one though...
That’s an excellent choice. Very nice Tudor Black Bay 41 replacement.
