Thank you for watching! - Хобби
Now that is a great looking watch.
Thank you
The JDM white dial is absolutely gorgeous. Wish you had them Mark.
I'll check them out
If you bring the JDM white dial , Id buy the first one .@@islandwatch
Great design on the silver one! Perfect graphic proportions! The only Seiko that I am bookmarking :P
Probably my current more affordable Seiko for sale. Thanks for showing them to us again!
Seriously the production value of these new videos is awesome, keep up the good work!
Glad you like them!
Just got mine in the mail today Mark. It’s a nice watch. Thank you!
Great as always Marc... here's to blowing past that 200k in no time!
Fingers crossed!
Don't worry about the plastic noise Marc, that's quality ASMR
Both great looking watches. To me the black looks better but the numbers on the bezel are harder to read.
I am sure many people already asked, but I missed it. Would you know if the overall case height would be less if the watch have solid case back instead of exhibition one? I feel like the field watches should be thinner on the wrist. There is a chance for a new modding item to be sold, Marc. If you made thinner case back, that is.
That bezel has an Explorer II vibe - nifty.
Sure does.
We need an islander gmt just like this. Thank you.
Congratulations!! Wish all the best here to 200k. We know you will make that goal and more!!
He made it!
Had the 023 for a few weeks now, replaced the bracelet for a black leather strap, have ordered the 027/sbsc009 white face version from Japan, love it and it’s become my daily wear at the moment, will be replacing the Hardlex Crystal with sapphire and possibly a non display back to reduce watch height. A lovely watch which will stay in my collection.
Where did you buy the SBSC009? I want the white version and would love to buy it from a trustworthy site. Thanks !
@@froregon1 Hi Steve, I bought it thru chronos 24, £410 plus delivery import fees and VAT, just over £500.
the payment is held in escrow and doesn't go to the seller until delivery is proven, I see now the price has dropped. Regards Bob
*Add 3 things, and I'm all over it. 1. SCREW-IN CROWN 2. sapphire glass with underside AR coating 3. TRIANGLE shaped 24-hour hand.*
Noted.
can't decide between Alpinist GMT or this. Got my first Seiko in '72.
There we go... these ones we want.
Yes!
"Gmt field watch" is an attractive and useful design. With the upgraded specs you usually incorporate in the designs, I think the Islander brand could make one that blows these watches out of the water.
That first one is nice.
Thanks!
That bracelet looks exactly like the bracelet on my Hamilton Khaki ETO watch.
Those are some really nice new releases
I think so too!
Hey Mark! You ran out of this baby. Had to order from Mr. Baldassarre 😳 😢lol😂 great video. Looking forward you making an islander variant 👍 💪
Is there an islander version in the works?
Islander needs to rework, improve or innovate on the original design......not be a straight up copy, im sure mark agrees..... right?😊
I can see him doing one with a sapphire crystal, screw-down crown, & a bracelet with screws & milled scissor-hands & clasp.
I can see this as the basis for the Rangemaster GMT with some Islander upgrades and TGV design elements.
Haha, not yet.
9075. Say no more and I'll be happy.
Pretty decent, it being a field watch I prefer it not to have a date but each to their own, I like my date included ssk009 I believe, the blue dial gmt
Thank you
Love the channel. How about a video on where, when and how to get your watch serviced?
Love these Marc. I would have bought one from you (as I did with the release a few years back), but I had to go with the white dial JDM model! Should be here any day now (love the stealth black one too). While I suspect mine will live on a NATO or Erica's, can you confirm it is a pin only bracelet? Bracelet actually looks pretty good (I can size either but it is nice to know what I'm getting into). Thank you!
I also went with the JDM SEIKO 5 SBSC009 Field Sports GMT Mechanical Automatic Watch ⌚️
How do you like yours?
I like the new GMT hand, has the vibe of the marine master second hand
Wish they had lumed the numbers
The New #5KeXplorer is looking 👌🏽 🔥
Sure is!!!!
What is the purpose of the numbering on the bezel?
Should have had an oyster style bracelet.
A rotating bezel would be nice, then you could track 3 time zones.
Datewheel matches dial😮
The 023 is a really good looking watch. Not that big of a fan of black IP watches. Would like to have seen a rotating bezel and lumed numerals but neither is a show stopper at the asking price. I usually like to have a rotating 24 hour bezel on my GMT to get the full functionality out of the watch. Leave the 24 hour hand on GMT and rotate the bezel to the time zone of interest.
I really like them but with the 4r movement theyre a bit spendy. Id rather it be a little more expensive and come with the 6r from the presge and alpinist.
It’s beautiful and I wanted this until I heard you say it’s non rotating.
Looks great, but too bad there's no screw down crown.
Yeah, I don't think there is a Seiko 5 with it
Don't understand why leave a big gap between crown & case..
Are you planning to sell sapphire crystals for this model?
Great review. Is there a sapphire crystal replacement already available? Thank you.
Not sure what parts fit yet.
Thank you for the replay. Hope you have a solution soon. Already bought the watch :)
Love it
Nice watches
Glad you like them!
Marc what do you mean @4:12?
I know you mentioned it but the alignment on the GMT hand was somewhat off
That's why I say it
is that GMT hand not aligned correctly 😢?
SEIKO 5 SBSC009 Field Sports GMT Mechanical Automatic Watch !
Mine is very slightly off.
435 bucks and a mineral crystal.
👍🏻
It's not standard mineral crystal. It's Hardlex which is a "type" of mineral crystal but not the pure thing because it's been altered to be a proprietary compound that has better features than regular mineral crystal. Just calling it mineral crystal is not just inaccurate but misleading.
What was the "blacklash" "gearing" "alignment" about?
Space between the gears.
The inner 24 hour track is not necessary and the new Seiko 5 logo is just plain tasteless, other than that the watch is fine. There should be a rubber strap version.
Like them!
Ditto
If it isn’t misaligned it is not genuine
LOL😅
I Picked up the SEIKO 5 SBSC009 Field Sports GMT Mechanical Automatic Watch ,
And true to form it slightly misaligned .
I like the general look, but the inner 13-24h is a bit too much IMO. Ends up being way to many numbers on the watch
I can see that.
guess you don't like "the flighty"!
Oceaneva GMT is a far better value over all
I was really interested until i heard hardlex....on a field watch....lol.
Отл! 👍🤝
Thank you.
Seems a little pricey for what you get.
Never said what's on your wrist
Too many numbers for a GMT watch IMO. If they did away with the inner military then it would be perfect!
$435 for a seiko 5 with hardlex? I know it's a GMT but still seems too much for what it is. I don't imagine this will be a big seller.
Lol. You don't know Seiko.
An ugly and cluttered mess. I love me some Seiko but these are a hard no for me. But great video nonetheless, Mark.
😂
lol
It’s not that bad.
🎉First🎉
Sweet
Really pushing the definition of a Field Watch which is already kind of nebulous
I get it for sure.
