Picked this watch up last year, gently used for just over $3k. Best money I ever spent on a watch, the spring drive is simply remarkable. If you put all the tech in this watch into a higher profile name (I'm looking at you Rolex), you'd be looking at a 20k retail watch. Gorgeous tool watch, doesn't get any better.
Picked up mine used but in new condition for under $3k. I’ve owned Rolex and omega and this is the best one for me. A true tool watch and no one is the wiser about the cost. Mine is running about 5 and a half seconds fast a month 😂
Nice driver! It is a Seiko in name only. Bet with the spring drive and the finishing it is built in the GS factory. Much like my Seiko SLA 043. Great looking watch. Seiko has been making quality Ti for many yrs. I have a ti Samurai, and a Shogun. Amazing case work for ti.
This is better than GS divers. Look at the design. Its the iconic Seiko Marinemaster with a Spring Drive. Its the best design, with GS quality (made by GS) and engineering.
It’s kind of crazy to think that a Submariner costs basically twice as much as this. OK, the Sub will probably hold its value better, but in terms of actual watchmaking, it’s not even close. The spring drive movement, Zaratsu polishing, the lume, the dimensionality of the dial… all run circles around a Rolex diver.
I absolutely love it, but just can't justify the price difference between this and say the SLA021. I picked mine up used (but with stickers still on it) for around $2300. GS level 8L35 movement, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, monobloc case,, same clasp, same level of finishing, etc. I know this is titanium and has a spring drive but it's over $3k more. Maybe I'll just break down and pick one up anyway at some point.
Still got my Seiko LX titanium spring drive had it a few years. Now, Selling the Omega Seamaster and Tudor North Flag on ebay now and keeping this great video
Got this in 2021 for my 40th b-day gift to myself. Sure it's expensive but the specs are pretty awesome. Did you know it won best diver's watch award for GPHG 2019? 😁
The best dive watch is from Seiko LX as the Grand Seiko diver Is too blingy for me . Though a great watch I bought the green moss dial Seiko LX at 60% retail . I perfect condition. I cannot take it off
Serious divers, I hear, use dive computers. Most of us who buy diver’s watches are not serious divers. The swimming pool or snorkeling is probably the furthest we’ll get. Still very nice watch.
Outstanding watch but the ugly Prospex logo is out of place on the dial of such a high end piece. It draws this LX to the lower range of the Prospex line. It should be removed to the crown. Seiko did it already for the SBDB015 (which was in the same price range) a few years ago. When you pay this kind of money you deserve something exclusive beyond the overall quality.

...."just over $3K" great pickup!

Very nice!
Where did you buy?
that is the best dive watch by far, much better than most others.

Great looking watch. Seiko has been making quality Ti for many yrs. I have a ti
Samurai, and a Shogun. Amazing case work for ti.
Love mine! Had it for over a year and still runs between 5 and 6 seconds fast a month.
Can't be beat!!! I'm a fan, of Seiko's move "up-market." Merry Christmas, Big Man. Cheers....
That's the Seiko you get before you step into the realm of Grand Seiko.

You're Absolutely right ☺️
A watch nerd will allways pick this over a Rolex for example.

You are right , no diver in the world tops this watch

What a show stopper!
Thats it, I am buying one.
I think I am too !!!

Wowzer! Serious shit indeed! I should come in for a test drive 😀
It breathes top quality, did not know this one is titanium.
I love the adjustment on the clasp, no need to remove bracelet linkage.
Gorgeous. Why can't they make a smaller version like Sinn did with the U1 and 50. Most people can't wear this imo.
Good Question ⁉️
This is literally less than half a millimeter dimensions bigger than mm300 which small wrists seem to love too
Well done.
For 6k$, a bit expensive and not quite the most good looking watch, but i think in term of functionality, it cannot be beaten for sure
Love it but that diver's extension is some ugly when it's extended. One day Seiko will learn how to do a clasp right.
Aesthetically it could look a lot better but functionality is perfect
@@EricSloferwatchreviews sure, but other brands have so much better at far less cost.
I’ve 16 inch wrist and could wear the sumo well but I wonder if this would look good on my girly wrist 😂
I bowl to differ. For that price, I take the a Rolex sub

6k dollars? Wowwwww
