Seiko SBSC017 5KX GMT - is it still relevant?

Today we take a quick look at this new dial variant of the 5KX GMT.
The SBSC017 (aka SSK033) is new colour launched last October but I question if this one is want the fans wanted. Plenty of watches at lower prices out there with the same movement and much better specs & build to choose from, so this release is definitely riding on blind loyalty and nostalgia.
These days, I'm underwhelmed by entry-level Seikos, so this watch is not for me.
Let me know what you think of this.
Special thanks to Hour Boutique for loaning me this watch.
You can find them on Lazada.

I do not profit from making this video. The watch was on loan and I had to return it after filming.

The watch does have solid endlinks. I own the SSK003J1. I did change out the stock clasp for a Marine Master clasp. I love mine it’s definitely still a relevant and a great watch .

[@AndyinSG]

Nice to see this one’s got fans!
Thank you for sharing. I’m glad that you’re enjoying yours. Wear it in good health.

Have you had an opportunity to see the new smaller Samurai in person yet? The SRPL11 / 13

[@AndyinSG]

Yes I briefly held it at the store. Nice watch. I’ll try to get in one of those for review soon.

I got the exact same model from City Chain last year, bought it on a whim. Torn between this and the new presage gmt. I guess if you have yet to get a taste of the 5KX GMT and want something new in terms of colourway and a better bracelet, it fits me like a gem! Of course when sale comes, the older models have way better discounts and whatnot.

Nice. Enjoy your watch in good health. 👍
