The 2 wheel baseline is still constructed in the old style with the magnetic handles, it's also more carry on friendly in size
Hoping you see this. I bought the shoe cream before I noticed that you said not a lined coach bag. I have one that looks similar to yours but it is lined and I bought it in the late 90s/early 2000s new from Coach. It doesn’t need a deep clean but the edges are worn like the one in yours. Would you still use the shoe cream? Can I use it on the whole exterior to darken it or should I only use it on the edges? Thanks.
@@debh3450 Without seeing or knowing anything about your bag I can’t really say. I stopped buying Coach because their post-Legacy era bags were really different products. Much lower quality materials of unknown origin or composition that were usually coated or treated with something to hide the lower quality of them, so before you do anything to it, I would take that to coach and see what they recommend!
@@joshjamesyoutubethanks for your reply. Maybe I’ll just play around and see. Nothing to lose. I’m just trying to revive it. I live in Montana now and there is nothing near me. I bought it back when I lived in Chicago at their store.
The price of the watch now is 35% more!! I agree it is overpriced.
Thank you!❤
I got last easter an SSK019 for 351 OTD, looking for a SRPE55 for christmas:-)
Just wanted to say thanks for this older review. I laughed at "...on your most bloated days..." I have just purchased this model. +1
Typical white ppl speech - perfect, wonderful
Great review as usual Josh! I'm glad you mentioned the advantages and disadvantages of the bracelet. A couple years ago Yota (of YotaStyle) did a video of her favorite bracelet collection. On that video she mentioned that, being a nurse by profession she knows that, in case of an accident the paramedics have to cut the bracelet as they don't have the proper screw to unlock it. She owns several Cartier cuffs but not the bracelet. Good to see you! Have a great week.
whats the watch with blue dial and fosil strap?
Both me and my parents wore only Seikos for many decades. In my case for more than half a century, since my student days and a beautiful Series 5 silver with dark blue dial automatic. Since 2006 I wear another silver w dark blue, which I bought at a department store, it came in 3 colors but at the end I also chose silver w dark blue (so dark it's almost black-or it IS black?) for about $200 back then. But I'd like to get another dress automatic, but not the black dial. Maybe a gold one for a change.
Hey! I missed you!!!
Hey! I missed all of you too!
Josh! So good to see you!! Jen (of JustJenniferYT) did a video on her vintage Coach bags a few weeks ago and she talked about you and the "Janice" you sent her. I've never heard of the Ghurka brand...I am going to take a look. You are missed- don't be a stranger!!
Hi Gloria!!! Yes!!! That’s what actually got me thinking of coming back to make a video because I watched hers, and she and I chat back and forth on instagram and after her video I was messaging her about the hurricanes and it brought back so many wonderful memories of making bag videos that I had to come back on and talk about these!!! :)
@@joshjamesyoutube So glad to see you back Josh. Your reviews were so detailed oriented and accurate. Please come back!
you're alive!!!!

Link in description, but it may not be sold anymore as this video is about 4 years old.
Just purchased this because of your review. Will be wearing it on my wedding day this Sunday. Thank you for the great video.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! On both your marriage and the Grand Seiko! Here’s wishing you and your spouse a wonderful life together!
@@joshjamesyoutube Thank you 🙏🏼.
Thanks for the great review. Just bought a Samurai & was considering this exact bracelet. Very informative & excellent video quality.
That black rubber and hexad 😍
I saw one in person, and it had the chapter ring curse. I just feel Seiko needs to do much better with quality control. You can’t claim quality for the money when you can’t stay consistent. Love the brand, just need to make sure you buy in person at an AD to make sure you’re getting your moneys worth.
I agree, but remember that it’s a $500 watch. By today’s standards, that makes it a cheap (but really great) watch. So it’s going to be mass produced and not perfect. You’re looking at well over $1K for a better quality watch.
What about the SARX055's, sexier, thinner, older sister? The SJE073 😉
Thank you for the video. I wonder if you could do one on how to move a hangtag from the strap back to the side. I purchased a Coach vintage bag and the hangtag is attached to the strap's closure. I don't know how to fix it. Please show how to do so. Thank you in advance!
That’s quite interesting! I’ve never actually seen that on any coach bag… you may want to get it authenticated.
@@joshjamesyoutube Thank you for your response! the seller also said that it shouldn't be there, but she detached it and placed on the strap for photos. I guess she forgot to put it back and said I should google for how to detach a ball chain. I tried but failed. it looks real, but who knows and the seller sells coach vtg bags on Mercari with numerous reviews.
I’ve washed my bags like you said and condition them , they come out BEAUTIFUL. Thank you love ❤❤❤❤.
Lovely review.
Hey guys . I'm new to watches and mostly gets attracted to looks rather than movement 🤷♂️this one looks really beautuful , especially the dial illusion when the light strikes. I want to knw is this watch still worth ? Or their are any better watches than this one now ?
Hi Josh, thanks for the review. I saw your car channel, you recommended Seiko to me. I have a few Rolex watches and Omega. I am going to buy this green face model. It looks like a steal. I have a fabulous, rare 2017 Lex GS F V 8 that I can never sell! Your correct, the new Lexus models have plastic interiors now (other than the LC 500 in toasted caramel). Cheers!
great review Josh, subbed! why didn't you go for the blue one? this looks good too..
Can’t wait to get a Casio Oceanus S100. I got a Tissot Couturier quartz in place of this watch, but after getting this I need the Oceanus too. 👌🏼
I didn't know you also had a watch/luggage channel lol I started following your car channel not too long ago. I was looking on what size Briggs & Riley luggage to get and got this video as a result by chance. Now I wonder if you have other channels as well lol
Great review, but the bias toward Swiss watches is extremely difficult to overcome. I'd also wager the desire to own Swiss watches is stronger in Asia than it is in Europe or the US. Japan is the ultimate exception out of the major Asian countries in that its consumers are more value rather than brand driven. That isn't even the case for HK or Singapore let alone China. Right now I'm debating between SBGA 375 or the Skyflake. Unfortunately, the GS I really wanted (SBGA293) has been discontinued and is only available through online grey sellers.
The bias is only difficult to overcome if one prioritizes brand and heritage over innovation and quality. :) I personally like both, so I’ve always favored the two equally. I love my Rolex submariner and it’s my daily driver because it’s classic, timeless, and goes with everything but it can’t hold a candle to my Grand Seikos in terms of innovative uses of materials and mechanics.
Great video love your passion for tbr oroduct and jts helped me make a deciison on what bag to huy.
decadent watch, loved it so much I did the same
I want an S100, but I’m afraid it’ll end my watch collecting, it’s nearly perfect. I ended up buying an Edifice EFR-S108 in Tiffany Blue over impulsively buying the Oceanus S100. Soon I’ll have it, but throughly enjoying my Casio Edifice Tiffany summer watch. 🩵
sharp observations!!!!!!
What leather strap is on your Tissot Heritage Chrono? 5:11 Thanks
@@lance8163 It’s the original Hodinkee strap! The best rustic leather watch strap I’ve ever found: shop.hodinkee.com/collections/straps/products/rustic-brown-leather-watch-strap
Been thinking about buying this watch. Would you say that this one could be a one watch collection? Would it look good in a formal or casual wear with only the bracelet?
Hello sir, i have a question. Would it be ok for smaller wrists? Around 6 inch wrist
thanks for the video! do you have any tips how to wash the glazing ones like from 2013? thanks!
Hi Josh…. Great video really enjoyed it, id actually took ya advice before seeing the value deo and bought and sbgp001 quartz which is the same as the sbga373 SD with champagne dial. Love your mid night blue dial though…. So classy!! What happened to the review for the sbgn013 quartz I am looking to buy and wanted to see you opinion?
Nice vid! If I left a sharp bag like that out on my porch…I’d have three mice or a chipmunk inside of it in the morning….or a bear or raccoon would have walked off with it!! Seriously, tho - if you can invert the bag over something supportive overnight, there is less chance of water staining to the bottom of the bag as it dries. And dark colors clean up soooo much better than light tones, IMHO!!💕
Been watching watch videos since the advent of it in youtube. This is an Excellent video , subbed! Keep it up
Subscribed. 👍🫡🇺🇸
I love the silver rim look more nice I have the manta everybody ask about the watch everybody like the inside rim
The Tissot would be my pick it’s a super special watch that does it all and is so refreshing to see.
I don’t know if the Pelagos is comparable to the Sub. I see it as a foil to the Sea Dweller, with less, unnecessary, depth rating! And, best of all, the cool 116600 reference not the 126600 cyclops, oversized, 43mm! It’s a modern, stealth wealth SD4000!
That seamaster white bezel is so amazing
My vintage coach I purchased is smoked filled on the inside and out. I have washed my bag several times and each time the water is black from the smoke. Do you have any suggestions?
Yikes! My only advice is to keep at it but depending on how bad it is, sometimes there is no bringing that back. You can add a few caps of white vinegar to the water too to try to deodorize it.
I want one
What a lovely presentation. I'm also a guy and about to pull the trigger on this white PO. It's 100 percent unisex in my book. Looks equally great on men and women.
Where u buy the stand ?
Great video. Regarding the titanium weight, it’s not as light as you’d think. I’ve held a titanium citizen which is feather light. This still has some weight to it. I appreciate your video as it was one of the ones I watched and kept watching prior to buying my Pelagos last week.
Congratulations on the Pelagos! And YES. It’s not lightweight at all, it’s shocking how much heft it has. I wouldn’t even want to imagine how heavy it would be in steel!
