Handled one today at the show in Dublin, really well finished watch with a perfect case size , really got those vintage vibes, like the other guys here, I too was puzzled with those extra hands
Hi Barry, this watch looks interesting, being different from the mainstream. However, I can't help feeling that the Presage and Prospex lines are dials in search of a movement. The 4R and 6R movements are no match for the Sellita SW200 and 300 series, and the ETA 28XX series movements. The 9 series Seiko movements are another matter, of course: but if German (predominantly) manufacturers like Marc and Sons or Heinrich can produce reasonably priced watches with Sellita movements, then Seiko should be able to do better. Sorry Barry, but this doesn't float my boat. Have a good weekend m8, Bob 🙂
I know where your coming from I would like to see a 8 beat movement fitted. But the one area the R movement bets the SW200-1 is you can hand wind them with no problems were the SW you really cant , Only earlier I had the auto wind bridge fully apart on one of my cheaper SW200-1 watches, as when you hand wound the watch the rotor would started to spin . So had to apply two different types of oil to get it working correctly Rob
@@ClickSpringReview I've come across this on forums before, Barry, so far I've had no issues with the SW 300 series in my U50... Have a good week at uni... just don't lose any screws! Cheers, B 🙂👋
I own the creamy dial one. Great looking one. Great finish . Works beautifully. Looks beautiful. Love it.
It’s a lovely looking watch glad you enjoying it 👍🏻

It has an aged feeling about the watch and the extra hands give it a funky vibe to I think
Great to see this one. It’s my favourite new release from Seiko. I’m on the look out for one now.
Subbed as well. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the sub James means a lot chap
Love it, this has the same movement and configuration as my cocktail time fuyugeshiki with same style of date and power reserve.
Its a lovely looking watch I think and an interesting movement Darren
Hi,
I left a question on your bezel swap video. In relation, could I swap this bezel for a submariner for example?
Thank you.
Hi again you could swap the instead for one of the same size but being it isn't a rotating bezel there wouldn't be much point Sir

Makes sense, I was curious for aesthetic purposes. Thanks for linking sites with information too… I’m definitely overthinking. 👍
A really nice left of field watch from Seiko . If they could just sort out their movements to be consistently accurate they could clean up
Sure , this one was really good but it can be hit and miss at time
Mines running +3-5 seconds per day so no problems!
@@NathanChisholm041 Some are spot on but I've had others running 20+ even after a demag
u can qlways manually adjust it
@@Paidonthedaily You can if you have the equipment and the know how if not you'll have to pay a watchmaker to do it for you , Which I can do for ya
The most amazing thing to me is that this cost $500 and doesn’t come with a sapphire Crystal.
Unfortunately thats Seiko for ya Bradley but I have to say I still like this model

Very Vintage Vibes
Does look the part 👍🏻
I recently swapped a watch for this one and was confused at first about the 5 hands! I didnt even know it had a power dial! lol
I was the same at first its only when I got it home and really looked at it LOL
Sieht aus wie eine Seiko 5 Sports?!
None of the Seiko 5 have a small sub dial seconds and all have crown guards Ohle
very persuasive piece maybe ditch the bracelet for a cream color suede strap
Yeah would look good on a leather strap John
