Good video and review! Love the sense of humor😂 Also… I would have liked to have seen a slightly thinner case with polished chamfers on the top and bottom of the case.😊

That bracelet is a beaut, the name is a bit weird and the price is higher than id like but I can't deny it's a very good looking watch. Wish they sold the bracelet on its own tho.
@@nekrozclockwork The bracelet is really my favorite part about it too, would have easily been a good seller if it was sold separately Appreciate that you share your thoughts! 😊
Nice looking watch! Not totally sold on the brandname/logo. Do you think this watch would be OK to wear to a court trial where the person (not me) was being accused of stealing 1200 DVD copies of the 2013 film Pacific Rim? Asking for a friend.
@@eelpharm Thanks for commenting mate! This watch would definitely not suit such a court case unfortunately. I think the accussed would stand a better chance in court wearing the Addiesdive Godzilla watch: ruclips.net/video/BPa4TQEA0cg/видео.html
@@AdAstraStakePool hey mate! I'm left handed so I wear it on my right arm (crown is pointing inwards towards arm). So I have no idea how it would feel over time on my left wrist
@@AdAstraStakePool I wish I had the answer mate, but not this time unfortunately. If you have any other questions now or in the future you are always welcome to ask Have a great week buddy 😉
@@RIOLOGYthanks buddy. I have decided to buy this watch during the 11.11 AliX sale. It was either this watch or the 36mm brown dial Baltany Explorer in your other video -- but I decided on this one because I really want to wear a watch with a baby blue strap and the white dial on this watch could work nicely with it.
I have not heard of this micro brand. But the watch design is traditional but handsome. YN55 movement is accurate & price wise should be reasonable. Quality finish.
I am amazed that anyone is still buying Seikos today as there are so many microbrands producing far better watches WITH THE SAME MOVEMENTS at a fraction of the price ! It goes to show just how much the brand name matters (probably also explains rolex continued success given how poorly they treat their customers)
@@ccooper8785 Indeed! I think though that most people are mall shoppers to be honest or new to watches, however there are still long time enthusiasts siding with Seiko for reasons I dont share, such as *brand heritage*. That just means nothing to my wrist, eyes or wallet tbh 😂 And yeah, Rolex is just for the name most of the time I believe. I would *never* bend over to an Authorized-Dealer for a watch, but hey, thats just me! Im not here to judge. I mean I would still buy a Rolex someday if I was treated like a customer and not second class citizen when walking in to a boutique. Would probably flip it either way after I get bored of it lol
I guess a lot of it is down to brand name. My friends who've gotten into watches very recently (past 2 years) seem to view Seiko as mid-end rather than entry level. Just like Rolex, the brand name often matter more than quality or features.
There are still plenty of nice Seiko designs that aren't repeated often by microbrands. Presage, Alpinist, Turtle. A little overpriced? Sure. But it's not like it's a luxury brand price and it's better to spend a bit more on the exact watch you want than a watch that's a better bargain.
Good news mate, they seemed to have listened to our feedback. This model now ships from their Aliexpress store linked in my description with Sapphire Crystals only!
Seiko just doesn't care about 'us': critical enthusiasts. At the pricepoint their watches used to be up until, say, 6 years ago, a lot of people were convinced they did care, or at least had some reasons to believe they wanted to. We should have known better. Seiko has become too big to compete with microbrands on specs, and just like any other major watchbrand has raised prices without rasing specs in any meaningful way. I bought a limited edition Alpinist, new and at retail, last year. No regrets. But why anyone with common sense and without my history with Alpinists would spend that kind of money on that watch I don't know. It might well be the last Seiko I ever bought at retail.
@@Bob.martens totally understandable that you went for a watch that means something special to you, even if it isn't competitive in "objective" value. The value it has to you can be priceless because of other reasons than specs and quality 😊 And I agree with you, new enthusiasts looking for good deals will look elsewhere, only mall shoppers that hasn't been exposed to better deals wikk buy them. However, that seems like the majority of consumers anyways. I mean good for Seiko, but would have been nice to get a brand new SKX007 for the good old price...
Too expensive for what it is it is tic tac x seiko homage with a nice dial and that is it. At this price for me it would have to come with miyota 9000 series movement, not orient. Funny sounding name it sounds lick sesamy. No sapphire?
@@alexwatchserbia9960 indeed there are room for improvement specwise, but considering how much Seiko has raised their prices recently I like that we have this option 😉 I like the name haha, don't ruin it for me 😂😂
@@seanhickling7340 yeah doesn't make much sense after they started raising their prices over the years. Guess they left room for new brands to fill that hole they left behind now 😉

Wish i had one 😢
Maybe one day in a future giveaway? For now I love it too much for it to be part of the giveaways
this is amazing!!! Anybody know the exact diamter of the dial? I'd swap in an Orange dial.
@@jeremy67A i will measure for you when I get home 😊 But keep in mind it is a YN55 movement from Japanese Orient, not NH from Japanese Seiko
crystal is 32,5mm so I believe the dial will be similiar
Butterfly clasps are hard to adjust to wrist size
@@meirharel4258 that is true my friend, but I prefer it because it is hidden and slimmer for usage while working at the computer
They can improve this with a framed numerals and date window
@@carlogalopo2605 that would be cool, but I think it would take away some vintage'y vibe from it and make it look more modern
Having a modern alternative isnt better or worse though,
The frameings would give it a bit more bling which could have a cool effect actually 😉
This is amazing ❤❤❤❤
@@ranigeorgis6617 Thank you 💯❤️❤️❤️

@@andonakis77 thank you for sharing your opinion, I agree ✌️😁
