  • Tudor Black Bay 58 vs Seiko SPB143
    Two heavy hitters from their respective brands go head to head,
    and I'll tell you exactly why the Tudor is better than the Seiko.
    After years of immersing myself in photography and enjoying watches, I've now combined the two by creating a RUclips channel. The primary objective of this channel is to share my watch collection with fellow enthusiasts and occasionally review watches borrowed from family and friends. While I may not have the latest and greatest watches for review, I hope my videos give you some inspiration on your next watch purchase. Thank you for watching, and I wish you the best in your watch journey. And remember, the only person who needs to like the watch on your wrist is you.

    That’s an admirably objective assessment, thanks. I’m going to throw in some shamelessly subjective thoughts:
    -I’m have an SPB143, and I really like the sunburst silver dial and quiet, monochrome look of the watch.
    -I’m bored with the BB58, every man and his dog has one, and you can’t escape them on Instagram & other watch media.
    -I’m fed up with the snowflake hand, can’t bear to look at it any more, it’s got to the point where I just scroll straight past any Tudors that have it.
    -I don’t like the Tudor’s slab-sided case
    -a dive watch with polished case sides just doesn’t look right, it’s an attempt to be diver & desk-diver simultaneously and fails.
    So I’ll be enjoying my Seiko…

      Seems like Tudor’s design language just isn’t for you. Omega dive watches are like that for me. That’s totally fine but it doesn’t make the 58 a bad watch. It’s on every enthusiasts wrist but in the real world it’s not crazy in your face. The Submariner is that for me. I see them everywhere and that has made that watch boring.

    Good comparison, a 1k watch vs a 3.5k watch shows Seiko truly is a good buy. People complain, whatever. In my opinion however, the Tudor to be fair would be pit against the SJE101 or SLA075. Or the bigger MM300 or SLA051. In those comparisons you will see what true dial and hand finishing looks like, zaratsu polishing and a forged movement. Would be a good comparison

    It's an incorrect comparison, get Seiko of similar pricing or model for that specific target segment (e.g. Prospex LX, Grand Seiko). Secondly, the Tudor Pelagos not the Black Bay should be compared to this Seiko because the Seiko is an actual functional Tool Watch made for diving with larger dimensions to enhance readability under water and to accommodate being worn over/with a wet suit. The Seiko 62MAS re-interpretation was not built as a Tool Watch with dress watch dimensions.

  • @ryanmurphy7422
    @ryanmurphy7422 22 дня назад

    Aesthetics are one thing, but the core of a watch is it's ability to keep time. My 143 is a joke compared to my tutor. The 6r movements are not accurate. They don't need to be COSC level, but they should be better than they are for the price. Seiko is no longer the value proposition they once were.

    I have a spb147. Beautiful watch let down by a dreadful movement. At this price a watch not only should look good, in the eye of the beholder, but also keep good time. Otherwise It is merely a piece of jewellery. The 6r35 quality is inconsistent. Some are good and some are crap, much like seiko’s service centres.

But because of that its a wash for the Tudor? Add to that the fact that you're comparing the Seiko to the Tudor even though the price is 3 or 4 times the Seiko and youre still saying the Tudor is better value for money? Makes no sense
