Seiko SRPD61 - DEEP DIVE and Personal Thoughts on my "Fulk" | VisualEssay

The SRPD61 has been in my collection for a long time. I've spent LOTS of time with this piece and was once my long term daily. I started this essay with the intention of promoting this watch as the no-nonsense value king, but things kinda took a turn... Watch the video to hear what I had to say about the 5KX.

I really appreciate the intro, script, and cinematic vibes you brought to this video! I’ve watched hundreds of Seiko videos, and most of them just repeat specs and first impressions with basic wrist shots. This is the first time I’ve seen a well-made watch video that tells a real story. I also love the half-body shots where you show yourself wearing the watch-it really helps me visualize how that green dial would look with different outfits. Just subscribed! Thanks, man!

Just followed you back. Love street photography vids. Right now my everyday carry is a Leica D-Lux7.
I appreciate the affirmations. It means a lot.

I hear you and feel you so deeply. Dave and I find ourselves constantly in the tug-of-war that is the creative’s existence. We are positioned in a world that seemingly undervalues the power of every creative mind. ❤

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

Let's keep encouraging each other. Thankful for you and Dave and how much you pour into our community

Never comment on videos but this one was cool, I like your style and what you have to say spoke to me. I personally have the SRPD63 and along with my G shock makes up my watch collection, love this watch. Have been exploring other bracelet options, and appreciated what you had to say “ignorance is bliss”. You’ve earned a sub in me, man.

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

Thank you Ryan. This means a lot. Love your watch collection. It covers all the bases. I recently bought a bracelet from Long Island watch (jubilee) and it’s nice. Maybe give Long Island Watch a try for your SRPD bracelet. Thanks for watching! And keep me posted with your bracelet upgrade.

Kindly inform, after watching several videos about Seiko 5 , including your video, i managed to buy my Seiko. Seiko SRPD63k1. It took one month for me to do overtime work to buy. Thank you for this video for convince me.

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

I’m so so glad you stuck to the script and bought one. I hope you enjoy it for years and years to come. I’m glad my video helped with your decision. Hard work pays off and I know you’ll enjoy your Seiko. Thank you for sharing!

🎉🎉🎉🎉 I’m so proud to be your partner. You continue to invest in YOURSELF and that’s what matters.

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

I love you babe

Banger. I feel like Seiko stands on its own. A sub is a sub and 5kx is a 5kx. They are wholly different watches. And as you mentioned about accepting what you can have, it’s no different than accepting a 5kx for what it is. And without comparing it to another watch, the 5kx is a banger. Seiko can stand on its own heritage. The movement is accurate. Timeless design. It expresses a specific type of personality of those who wear it. I like seiko for seiko and not as like a replacement or more affordable option. I love my Seiko 5 55th anniversary and I don’t think of any other watch when I wear it. Love love love the content.

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

That Seiko 55th anniversary is amazing. I appreciate the input on this. I also feel like Seiko fans are true watch fans. They can do everything at every price range

Great video, dude. My SRPD has been off by only a second or two in a week, which is crazy. That said, it hasn’t fully scratched the itch for the original SKX.

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

Thanks bro. Yea I go back and forth on pulling the trigger on an OG SKX…. At the price it’s at now I have a few other watches I’d rather invest tbh

[@bobbytirlea]

Loved your honesty to the end! Not just the watch review, but the whole approach one the very existence we must waddle through each day! Keep up the energy and success to your channel! BTW, I have the Automatic SRPD51K1 and love it nonetheless!

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

Thank you so much! Yes we gotta keep pushing.

[@Christineeeeeee1]

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

Thank you thank you. Salute!

[@3nio745]

I just got the SRPD53 amazing watch love it but i have one question, Does leaving the watch in an cold environment damage the movement ?! Thank you !

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

I’m sure it’s not good for the movement leaving it out in the cold like that…

[@glenkwonfilm]

another banger

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

Thanks for all the help bro

[@adhyantorokusumo7451]

What's the difference between this n srpd63?

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

I’ve never handled the SRPD63 but what I can tell from the photos is the gold accents on the dial

[@zachthomas9600]

I need another hat John.

[@TheFuturisticVintage]

[@SamuraiLJacks0n]
