I own the SSK003J1 version and absolutely love this watch . I did switch out the stock clasp for a Marine Master clasp and definitely gives the bracelet a more premium feeling. I do agree with you that the watch is top heavy but it’s comfortable. I also own the SKX009 and it’s really cool owning both and comparing the two .
I sold my Rolex GMT to purchase an Omega Planet Ocean. In the meantime I bought this same model Seiko, the blue 003 is it? I think it is stunningly gorgeous, better looking than the Rolex! As for the stamped clasp who cares? On the wrist you cant see it and Rolex did the same for donkey's and no one complained.
I bought one and no it's not a Rolex GMT homage, Seiko went their own way with this design. I was a little disappointed in the bezel and dial colors. The bezel is so reflective and the bottom only looks blue in oblique light. The dial only comes alive with a deep blue color when strong light is directly on it, like in the sunlight. Otherwise it might as well be black. As the review said it feels top heavy in part because the display back make sit thicker. You can get a thinner solid case back, but that takes away half the fun seeing the movement. I wasn't particularly impressed with the "Jubilee" style bracelet, I replaced it with a Miltat milled clasp bracelet from strapcode. The crown is very robust, but it does not screw down. So even though it's water proof it is not a diver watch.
The contrast between the blue and red makes this so appealing!
I'm also a fan of the red. The addition of a red GMT hand makes it really easy to read and adds a pop of colour.
I was confused tu buy this watch, after seeing your video, I ordered directly!
Thank you.
Seiko lume never disappoints!
They definitely have great lume.

I’m really enjoying your videos keep up the great work
Thank you! I really appreciate the support.
I have the SSK005 Mikan orange and I love it!
I was very tempted to get the orange, may get one in the future.
I’m planning to add this watch to my collection

Wow, what a beauty. Going to Macy's tomorrow to see it in person. Hope to be wearing it home.
Right on
Appreciate you 👍
Fantastic watch
I think you have the incorrect box. You have the old one. New 5's come with the new logo.
Oh I see, I was unaware of this.
Yeah I got one a month ago and I have a different box
@@eno8314 interesting, this is how I received mine from an authorised retailer. I am in Australia, not sure if that impacts the packaging.
Better than a rolex with a hardlex crystal? Pleeeeease!
Did you get this was the USA website?
I got it from an Australian authorised dealer as I am from Australia.
seiko needs to slim their clasp
Their clasps could do with some upgrading, but they get the job done.
I thought authentic seiko comes with a guarantee card. I'm concerned yours didn't.
New Seiko watches now come with an electronic guarantee and warranty which is activated upon purchase.
@@welcomewrist cool!
Bello. Ma un vero peccato per la ghiera senza click 😢
You should be concentrating more on the watch itself rather than the packaging
