WOOOOAH MWC IS GETTING WATCHES FROM SEIKO?!?! Freaking SEIKO!!!! WOOOOAH! That is freaking amazing Russell!!!! And I absolutely love this watch. Very handsome timepiece. 😍😍 also I’m so glad you clarified the 5 distinctives of the Seiko 5. I only found that out recently. Great watch! Great review!
WG!!! Thanks for watching! This would look cool on your wrist!
You've *got* to get one of these, Britt! (But you might find your husband "borrowing" it more often than usual.)
they must do a Pogue reissue !
Might be a little bit harder to do that; they don't currently have a comparable automatic movement to the original, and even if they did, it would cost well over $1k. I don't think they have a suitable mecha-quartz movement on hand either.
@@waffle911yes an auto chronograph is quite expensive, maybe go solar for the new Pogue?
Im in!
They did release a revised version of the Pogue a few years ago....Seiko SSA331. Not the same but similar
YES!!! I would buy one 5 minutes ago!!
If they do it right, it’s an instant purchase for me. 😄👍♥️
I showed this to my wife now. She said she doesn’t quite like it because it looks like something an astronaut would wear. Made me want to buy it instantly 😂
She loves the Pogue?
As a Pogue owner, I love this….perfect size and shape. Great video as always.
I'm picking a pouge up this month and agree I love the retro look.
Saw the review last nite & today...the date of the release...I was at the GS Boutique collecting my SBGV245 just back from polishing in Japan. Tried on the new 55th Anniversary & immediately bought it. This is the coolest Seiko 5 I've ever seen. Extremely comfortable too. Definitely a winner. If it wasn't for the review I would have missed it!
I love this! What a great reissue! They’ve nailed the look and it’s really exciting to imagine the potential of that case. Like you said, a Pogue reissue can’t be too far away, right 🙏 Even the packaging looks amazing too!
I think I’d prefer a modern clicky bezel to go with the updated movement but you can’t have it all.
What a great show 👏👏👏👏
Cheers Gareth! Only thing is I doubt it’ll be as good a value as this one!;)
I got one. The nice thing about the friction fit bezel and lack of chapter ring (polished rehaut) is that this is the first Seiko I’ve owned that doesn’t trigger my OCD. 😂
This is a brilliant release. I have no complaints about this watch, but I do hope they spread the cost of redeveloping the case out by releasing a new limited edition of the blue version of the original. I don't know if you've seen it, but I really love that one. It's always a treat when your wife actually likes a watch too.
Sure it is, because when she dislikes it, you are off doing chores to get back into her favor (or sex, if you will).
If this one sells as fast as I believe it will, you can almost bet on their releasing one in blue (and maybe a few more colors at that).
😅😅
Obligatory bemoaning of the lack of sapphire.
I tried it on my wrist last week. The case is lovely. I nearly bought it but ended up getting my second and so completing my seiko 5 sports peanuts collection.
Been looking for a vintage Seiko ever since I visited a little vintage shop in Camden Market a while ago. They had a couple of Seiko King Quartz and few Seiko 5's from the 60's and 70's. Something about the design just appealed to me.
As soon as I saw this watch, I knew I needed to buy it, and buy it I shall...and probably the Pogue if it comes out next year.
Awesome. I should get one since I was born in 68. Wearing my Seiko 5 field watch today. Great video as always.
The walking Dead!
How's that Popz. LoL!!
Only started watching your channel in the last couple of months as I have started collecting watches again, must say I love the enthusiasm and the down to earth approach. Just love Casio (got a couple I used to own as a teenager and love them to bits, AE1200 Royale is on the wrist right now) and Seiko, well always wanted one.....this video inspired me to get a SRPK17, been damn hard to find one though as they as I was a bit late to seeing this and they have understandably sold like "hot cakes". Found a new one from a US website SEIKO dealer, it's on it's way, should be getting it in the next couple of days.....exciting....thanks MWC 🙂👍
love it ! hopefully more reissues come out like this one. true to the original design. 👍
I’m glad Seiko went back to their old logo on the Seiko 5
Very subjective my friend. For me, historical meaning, brand I love, case design from an era I love it is
I bought mine 2nd hand on eBay (never worn) for £300 and I couldn't be happier.
Most of my watches are chunky divers and this is a lovely change for me. Felt a bit small compared to my other watches at first but it's actually perfectly sized.
Love the bracelet as well but I ordered a milanese this evening to see how that looks.
Would love for them to do the pogue too.
5 sports speedtimer chrono from the 60's/70's would also be amazing
Ohhh! Great video. I've already pre-ordered the watch a few weeks ago. Had a message to say it will soon be on it's way. After seeing review, can't wait!
I live in China and I purchased mine last week from the Seiko flagship store for CNY 2450. About 266 GBP. I must say that it’s really a nice watch and in my opinion it’s worth the price.
Nice my friend!
Great watch and hopefully a start of reissue models. Thanks for your time and sharing this with us all.
Great review. Just pre-ordered one. For anyone interested Arizona Fine Time is taking pre-orders. I only mention this because I was having a hard time finding a shop outside of the US still taking pre-orders.
Good show MWC.😊
HOPE your right about the pouge. My favourite Seiko ever, It sits proudly atop my entire collection. Don't wear it as much now as terrified of damaging the beauty.
I will hold out buying this new release just in case the Pouge comes to fruition.
love re-issues, particularly when they are not tiny. This is a great size, not oversized by todays taste, or that 2010's fad, nor undersized by modern taste like many watches from pre-2000.
Ah, so this IS it. Yea. I saw this on Seiko’s site about a month ago… still shopping through various shops online to get best deal for a pre-order. Definitely was instantly inspired to hunt for this one. My last Seiko was actually the equally retro Kamen Rider Seiko 5 anniversary model that came out earlier this year which revived a different 70s Seiko 5 model style (but not quite a true reissue).
Where have you found it available at the best price?
@@ohhenry2 the actual price that I’ve found hasn’t fluctuated (it sits around $400-415ish USD) so what I’ve been trying to shop around is shipping differences. I haven’t settled on a pick just yet.
@@Paperfiasco Same here: Sadly, Francis & Gaye doesn't ship to the States, but I've found two Stateside retailers taking preorders. Still checking for the best deal.
I second your enthusiasm for this watch, with the lume glowing it looks super cool! TY
Best Seiko I've seen in decades. Great video Russ, thanks a bunch!!!!!!
I know!! Maybe 5 decades?;)Thank you my friend!
This channel deserves 100k subscribers.
The handset, bidirectional bezel movement, recessed crown and bracelet are fantastic
You are definitely my favorite watch channel
Jimmy!!! You are a legend! Appreciate this!
Mine arrived today and I finished adjusting the metal bracelet. It fits nice on my small wrist and feels comfortable. This is my second metal bracelet watch and my first series 5 Sports. My bezel is bi-directional unlike what Seiko USA says (uni-directional) in the specs. Love the groovy 60’s design and this watch is made in Japan. Cheers! 😊
Received mine two days ago ,tried to buy an original scratched 1968 version of ebay!! Glad I waited, absolutely fantastic re-model,can't stop looking at it and £350 bargain.
Yes!!!!!
Awesomeness right there! Thanks for sharing!
✌🏼😎👍🏼
Great review Russ, definitely a stunner and it got your wifes seal of approval! I have been shying away from Seiko for sometime, but I might just add the SRPK17K1 to my collection.
Russ, I love watching watch videos, and I am an insufferable Anglophile. So, I can’t help but smile as I watch your vids. And, of course, you have a perfect taste in watches, which is almost identical to mine! Thanks for the delightful diversion.
Thank you so much my friend! Means a lot!
Really liked this watch when it first appeared, but was underwhelmed when I saw one in the flesh at my local Seiko AD.
I’ve handled and held hundreds of SEIKO’s and I was completely the opposite
Blue is my favorite color and this new seiko 5 will be great in royal blue or blue navy dial.
oehhhh do i need this??? yessss i do !! red date and the blue sports awesome !!! oooehhh its for sale in holland yesss!!!!
I always wanted a Pogue, but this fits my black bezel/dial collection. I put down a preorder moments ago. Thank you for making me aware of this release!
I know!!!! I’m hoping it’s coming!
It’s in the mail! Any day now.
Mine arrived this morning and is actually the first Seiko i've ever owned. It's a lovely piece and even the wife likes it!
Wow!! Well congrats my friend!
Just bought this. Looking forward to getting it
If we get a Pogue reissue, and that is a very big IF. it's not gonna be cheap. it would have to be a mechanical chrono. seiko's Chronos go for around 2k -3k referring to the automatic speedtimer. I doubt people would accept a solar or mecaquartz movement in the Pogue reissue as it goes against what the Pogue was. Also there in no chrono with the Pogue configuration in seikos catalogue as far as I know so this means they would need to make a new movement or modify something like the 8R48 perhaps.
The way I see it the only way to make a successful reissue would be to literally bring back that movement used in the 6139 with a day date changing function unlike the original push change action...idk
"wife approved"
every married mans favourite words
Bugger! Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a W10 vintage pilot watch… you had to show me this! I’ve been on the look out for a watch that was popular in the year I was born (1969) or there abouts… and this might be near enough. And the fact it has an anniversary this year might just push me over. I’m not usually a fan of this clickety-click sub dial, but this looks so gorgeously vintage, I think I could be persuaded on that point too!
It’s all your fault #madwatchcollector - thanks to you my g-shock habit is quite bad/good. And now there’s this puppy!
AAAAND… you drop in the idea of that 1969 model that may or may not be on the way next year!
Gonna need another watch box!! 😂
Love the watch. Love the video. Good balance between humor and info. I can see immediately you love what your are doing. Keep up the good work!
Lovely piece of retro goodness , had to get one
Yes Josh!!!!!
Rubber strap would be nice
That is an absolute peach of a watch! Makes me want to climb into a racing car and race Jackie Stewart around Monaco! Much prefer the old Seiiko 5 logo too! Love everything about this piece ❤❤
"It's a great, great day for motorcar racing, Jackie."
Just to say that I saw your Short on this watch last night and today I bought one!
I know I will have a lot of people who will disagree but I don’t like it. Definitely not a stunner, the dial looks far too busy. But great review as always.
Ditto. Not for me either and far far too expensive. Seiko drop the words Limited Edition and wack the price up. Totally agree that Dial is awful
OMG what a 'heads up'! Another super entertaining review - And I only just noticed - you call your video a 'show' - perfect! Generally, I'm not a Seiko 5 fan (except originals). I'm still hung up on the demise of the 200m specs, 'get over it' yes I am trying, and I have got a couple. But this is on another level! It's a REAL Seiko 5! Love it! Shall I / shan't I? I don't know, I'm trying to 'cut down' you see..(but just unboxed a new watch today).. BUT the prospect of a Pogue next year - I'm missing a good original and REALLY want this - if it happens - what foresight you have (I hope)!! Thanks again for the 'Show'! Best from Perth Australia!
Speaking of price increases and SKX clones, I wonder what your thoughts are on the SSK GMTs? More features but for £400 rrp I found it a bit too pricey.
That being said i got mine for 40% off at Black Friday so I bit the bullet and I'm pretty chuffed!
Great video and good looking watch! Any official websites to preorder this in the US?
What a nice looking watch. Beautiful vintage vibes.
This with a blue Saturday day wheel... chef's kiss
Oooooooooo
hello i dont know if you still read this, but how is this watch compare to the also limited SRPJ79K1 ?
Hello my friend! You’re talking about a watch with an SKX case decorated to look nice. This is an exclusive case, bracelet and dial. They’ve made one of these commemorating the 55th anniversary of the 1st Seiko Sports that looked exactly like this. Now the movement is the same but this one is special my friend
$400, 'No' sapphire crystal, and a cheap pressed clasp. Come on Seiko. I love the case, the dial, and the nostalgia, so I'll definitely buy one.....when one of the China micro's knock it off, add sapphire, a NH36 movement, and sell it for $125.
Been waiting for a review of this one, thanks. Just ordered it coming tomorrow by 10.30am
I Got 1,Ast is my Birth Year Watch..! I Love it.
I like this a lot, I will definitely be looking to get one. Super video as ever.
I love that retro vibe !! Stunning piece! 😍😍
And not Tooo expensive??
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Even better! 🤩
Got mine, absolutely in love with it.
Love the look of it! Aesthetically it hits all the right notes for me.
But specs-wise, it's overpriced for what it is.
1968 what a year, i was born in 68... what a beauty again a Real mad review. Seiko IS definitely one of y favourite big brand!!! i want one... 😂😂😂
What a year indeed then my friend!!!!
It looks like the Tissot Sideral
You’ve come from Gringa!
You are quite mad indeed, and I love it. I also love the watch. Subbed!
This made me want one even more 🤩
Yes!!!!!
Amazing video 📹 👏 ❤️ 👌 🙌 😍
I just picked up a new Seiko 5 (SRPD93) yesterday. I’m sure it’ll be the first of many, as it looks like your video might inspire another purchase 😂
Nice!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I should add that it was $175 USD in the states at Costco. I know the Seiko 5 sport line divided the collecting community, but at that price I couldn’t pass up.
Costco also had the Seiko Tank in gold and a Hamilton field. Impressive/surprisingly good selection, imo!
' It's giving me Jacuzzi vibes ' is gotta be the best quote from your wife ! 😅😅😅
Hahahaha
Hey. I bought this on your recommendation, it had better be worth it mate 😂
Great vid as usual 👍
Cracking video, lovely to see unbridled enthousiasm. Where you and I clash over the re-purposed SKX, we now clash over shrouded lugs. I just can't deal with them. :) Which is a shame, because otherwise this is a lovely watch. For sure, it begs for a sapphire modification, but apart from that it's beautiful.
Sadly, I won't wear it if I buy it. Shrouded lugs, you see.
Cheers Chris!!!
Had mine for 2 weeks, love it, I wish they would use the old style 5 badge on the newer 5s
Seen it, bought it, own it, love it. Stunner ! 😃
Received mine today , awesome watch ❤
TMWC is always turning me on to must have watches for my collection. My checking account curses you, TMWC!
Sorry my friend!!
Seiko, JUST TAKE MY MONEY!
Great review as usual.
Seiko really did it right this time! My only complaint is the glass, I want sapphire so I don’t scratch it
Thanks my friend!
Coupert came up trumps - £297.50. Arrived 2 days later. Thanks H. Samuel (UK).
YES!!!!!!!!
I have a few seiko 5 1973 actus ss 23 j Green shutter effect dial very rare in mint condition great review
Nice watch! Great video! Even the wife likes!
I’ve been waiting for this release! Thanks for the early review
Wow great looking piece , like you I enjoy vintage watches and seiko have done a great job
I see a bit too much rough edges on both the case and dial.
Unreal, all the more for the rest of Us.
Wow, I already wanted one, but what the wife said!
Well done MWC.
Give us a new Pogue please Seiko.
Ordered mine today after seeing your great review.
Well done Seiko. Encore!
Perfect the best thing is it is my 55 anniversary coming up and it looks like I'm treating myself with that one
This is perfect!!
Love it, I'd even put up with the errhummm nasty pressed clasp. Just a fabulous looking watch.
Thanks my friend!
Gonna have to keep an eye out, can't find any North American retailers listing pre-orders for it yet.
Gawd Damit!!!! I NEED THIS RUSS. YOU ENABLER!! And Lo' and Behold.... not going to be some crazy $1,000+ limited edition money grab. Yes bring on the Pogue Biiiiiiiiiiiiiooooooooooooootches!!!!
want one very much about to buy a Seiko
tuna with Pepsi Bezel that is discontinued for 180 USD what a steal
I’d definitely buy a pogue I have a 73’ pogue chrono would love a modern one.
Wonderfully vintage! Jacuzzi vibes indeed!
Heh, I'm starting to get used to your goofy cutaways :) Great review by the way
The moment I first saw this watch I thought I had to order it, as it's going to sell out really quickly. I really like the vintage design, hopefully I'll like it in person too :)
About the seiko "pogue": That will sell out in 5 mins, that's for sure. If they keep the size/dimension that will be on my must buy list 100% percent. However as others have pointed out, Seiko currently doesn't have a caliber that's even remotely similar, and we'll have to wait and see if there will be some tricks they can do (use a different caliber and hide sub dials, etc) to make it happen.
Finally! What we've all been waiting for Seiko to do! 😍
Niiice. Love the bracelet. And the wife likes it? Nearly spat me coffee out! 😮
Preordered mine, can't wait for it to ship!
Couldn't resist, ordered!
Yes!!!!
I just bought mine and it’s an amazing watch! 😍
I agree with the Trouble and Strife.
Quite a looker!
I like that, Russ. Looks super!
All the best. 👍🏾🇬🇧
Thanks man!
