Kurt I'd like to take it down a minute here for a second honestly your channel is probably the most original and entertaining to watch you could do a review on a bar of soap and I would love it now that's been said that new save the ocean is just gorgeous I mean I wouldn't get rid of any of those they're gorgeous they're beautiful have a nice day LOL
Hey Curt! This is Ronnie. Thanks for the shoutout at the end! I appreciate you for having such relatable content and keeping strong in the watch community. May your peanut be happy!
What a great format for a review video. You think you are looking at three watches but, the video really highlights the differences is a quick digestible format. BRAVO! I am a subscriber!
Happy Saturday Curt! For some reason the OG Save the Ocean just clicks the most for me even though I really love the face of the 2nd Gen more. If there was only some way to mismash em together. As far as the old gym bro, once I was at a Gentleman's Establishment where young ladies practice their dancing skills for your tipping gratitude and this old guy was straight up with no shame wearing silk pajama bottoms as pants. It was obvious why he was doing so and then he disappeared to get private dances. Godspeed old pervy silk pajama pants private dance man! I have a lot of gentleman club stories.
@@minitwatch We all just squirrels trying to get that nut lol, I don't blame that old man and his wisdom. I gotta go by my parents tomorrow and get to bed early enough tomorrow cuz I gotta hike into DC the next three days. Awful commute but it is what it is, only 3 days. Enjoy your Sunday my bro!
Ahhh, Uncle Jimmy. He did make the correct pick though, the Blue Lagoon Samurai is awesome.... I shouldn't say that.... I have so far resisted ordering the STO 2.... so far... I make no promises... But there's always the chance I'd be totally blown away when I opened the box.... Anyways, great job Sir.
Seiko is my most favourite brand. The most reliable and under-rated brand. I have customized this Samurai Blue Lagoon dial in customized samurai SRPB55 black watch case with cusn8 bronze shroud. It looks outstanding and unique.
There's one more watch you could add to this list, The Samurai Save The Ocean 1.5 (it's basically the same as the original but with a matt blue dial and a black case and it comes on a blue rubber strap)
I have the first save the ocean samurai and i must say the dial has more depth of colour and texture than the new one. Camera definitely doesn’t do it justice
Very nice. The Samuri is awesome. From what I have seen, “Made in Japan” does not mean It’s a JDM model, it just means it was made in Japan. If it says “movement Japan” only the movement was made in Japan and the watch was made in another country.
The only time I ever see "Made in Japan" on a Seiko are Seiko's from Japan but who knows with Seiko these days! They do some weird stuff. Like the PADImas. There's like three model numbers and I can't see a difference between them! lol
minitwatch You are the only person I heard that referred to as the Padimas. That a cool name for it. I actually have one, mine the international model #SPB07J1. The JDM Version is the “SBDC055. They are the same watch. It can be confusing.
HAve owned both STOs, now i only have the V2, my fave. I love the yellow on the BL, wish they had added some yellow in the STO 2 - it would be more perfect. But you can't beat the engraved bezel on the V2 with that thick texture - looks like but is better than ceramic. it's awesome.
you did it, samurai showdown. thanks for the comparison and nice touch with time synchronization. I've ordered double dome sapphires along with original samurai hour minute hands for my STO & GWS. But for some reason I'm starting to second guess modifying. where do you stand as far modifying any of these?
Aesthetically the Seiko Samurai Save The Ocean Special Edition is second to none. I keep on going back to preferring it over the new Seiko Samurai Save The Ocean Special Edition Great White Shark. But I want to like the Great White Shark more; it's the new old, different, and fresh.
Hello, can you please at least look at the Orient Star re-au0004b00b, it's a sarb033 alternative, which is cheaper and much better, no English reviews as well
I think it's more like a personal preference and the Seiko just has more clean dress watch feel. The roman numerals and the power reserve are the things that I don't like about the Orient and I can't say which one has better finish, because I have to see both in person. The power reserve isn't that practical as some believe unless the mechanism isn't automatic. Why? If the watch is on your wrist all the time then it's always fully charged and there's no need for you to look at the power reserve and if it isn't then it's either out of power or it's still working and once you put it back on your wrist it will get fully charged after a while. For me it's more like a cosmetic feature rather than a practical must have feature and some people hate it while others like it or simply don't mind it. Also, the price difference is around $100 for the Seiko simply because it was discontinued and as everything discontinued the prices are going up. Just like with everything, people should buy what they like, not what others like so if you like the Orient go for it.
I was never a fan of the samurai untill I went to Macy's herald square NYC and saw the STO 1 and once I saw that dial I ripped out the wallet and it's been in my rotation ever since. Now if I had to remove some parts from version 2 to mod my watch without a doubt it would be the bezel insert and seconds hand I feel looks better then version 1 with that being said I still prefer version 1...
I saw one yesterday in a local independent jeweler and it took all I could do to not whip out the credit card. The only thing that stopped me is the size. If it was 41mm or less, it would be on my nightstand right now.
@@minitwatch there are 3 STO samurai aren't there? 1. The one you have in this vid with bracelet. 2. The black colored bezel with rubber strap. 3. And the great white you have there
@@saulo2264 AgreedI thought about it some more since then and the the Ocean 2 doesn't have that same pop of color as the first. Still cool but not as good.
Look for STO videos while trying to compare them Buy the STO 1 because I hope it'll come out the best, even though I couldn't find any comparison videos. 2 days later, see this video in my recommended Edit: While watching this video I got a message that the seller is cancelling the deal :(
Why is the world sleep on Casio Edifice lineup? Do they suck? I’m about to find out my bro... give us one of yer classic reviews man! There is a relatively new edition out here at a reasonable price with a bunch of sick features...... not much on Y-Tube yet.... peace.....
Don’t mean to be off topic from yer vid. None of my watch channels cover these. U R one of me favorites dude. I’m looking at Casio ECB 900DB-1B. Peep game my brother.... looks sick to me... probly cause it’s a little different...... later G
Mine gains 30 seconds per day. Qhay kind of quality control is that??? For a watch this expensive I expected more quality control. My Casio Oceanus T200 is solar, satellite, pwrpetual calendar, super lume, always exact ro within 1/1000 of a second and is slightly more beautiful. Oh, it also has a button to buzz my phone if I lose it. Es bonito pero el mío gana 30 segundos por día lo que quiere decir que una vez a la semana lo ajusto pues para el domingo ya va mal casi 4 minutos. Como puede pasar esto con un reloj tan caro que compré hace un mes? Que control de calidad es ese? Mi Casio Oceanus T200 es solar, satélite, calendario perpetuo, igual lumen e igual belleza, pero no falla. Ha sido un poco decepcionante.

Seiko Samurai has a very unique design for a modern dive watch. The Great White Shark adds some beautiful details and finishs to the Samurai.
Blue Lagoon my favorite!
Woohoo!!
Thanks for this review! I wanted to see the difference between the three also! Great videos - keep it up!
You're welcome! I'm glad to have helped!
Hi Curt,
The dial texture on the STO1 is actually based upon the skin texture found on blue whales and not a wave pattern as is often assumed.
Hello! According to Seiko, it's both. On Their site for the SRPC93, it states "Blue whale/wave patterned dial". Pretty clever!
@@minitwatch Damn sexy either way :)
What a great format for a review video. You think you are looking at three watches but, the video really highlights the differences is a quick digestible format. BRAVO! I am a subscriber!
OMG i LOVE the check the lume song!!!! LOL Great vid man! Thanks for share it!
I'm glad you liked it!!
@@minitwatch have to say I'm discovering your channel and the CTL song is quite a highlight... nice one :)
STO 1 can't be beat. That dial though.
They are all so amazing. It's hard to choose for me!
Happy Saturday Curt! For some reason the OG Save the Ocean just clicks the most for me even though I really love the face of the 2nd Gen more. If there was only some way to mismash em together. As far as the old gym bro, once I was at a Gentleman's Establishment where young ladies practice their dancing skills for your tipping gratitude and this old guy was straight up with no shame wearing silk pajama bottoms as pants.

lol. Welp. now I know what to wear the next time. bahaha! Just kidding! Have a great Sunday!
@@minitwatch We all just squirrels trying to get that nut lol, I don't blame that old man and his wisdom. I gotta go by my parents tomorrow and get to bed early enough tomorrow cuz I gotta hike into DC the next three days. Awful commute but it is what it is, only 3 days. Enjoy your Sunday my bro!
Ahhh, Uncle Jimmy.
He did make the correct pick though, the Blue Lagoon Samurai is awesome....
I shouldn't say that.... I have so far resisted ordering the STO 2.... so far... I make no promises...
But there's always the chance I'd be totally blown away when I opened the box....
Anyways, great job Sir.
Whelp. You did it :p
i like the black version sto 1 in silicon straps. that would've been a great addition to this comparison, mate.
love the extreme detail comparison, keep up the good work
Seiko is my most favourite brand. The most reliable and under-rated brand. I have customized this Samurai Blue Lagoon dial in customized samurai SRPB55 black watch case with cusn8 bronze shroud. It looks outstanding and unique.
Thanks, interesting comparision; Save the Ocean 2 gets the nod for me 👍
It's so beautiful!
minitwatch I might just have to get one 😍
I'm subscribing just as a props for the puppets. Nicely done.
There's one more watch you could add to this list, The Samurai Save The Ocean 1.5 (it's basically the same as the original but with a matt blue dial and a black case and it comes on a blue rubber strap)
i realize it's kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Samir Ford flixportal =)
@Lucca Chandler thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !!
@Samir Ford happy to help =)
I love your channel, I recently discovered it. Even if that's technically not a great white shark fin I'm still gonna call it the great white
He's not lazy, he just wants to show off his Samurai collection.
Maybe a little of that too :p
That is a great white's shark fin with a little bit of combat damage. A squid must have taken out a bite.
Ahh, could be!
exactly like that, they wanted to represent an adult shark
I was not expecting the “Check the Lume” song to be so awesome.
I have the first save the ocean samurai and i must say the dial has more depth of colour and texture than the new one. Camera definitely doesn’t do it justice
It definitely doesn't. It does none of them justice.
Just purchased the original save the ocean 🌊
Beautiful watch indeed. Seiko best watch $ for $, awesome value.
The oceans are well and truly saved, thanks to Seiko!
:) And now Citizen it seems :p
This is the video I’ve been looking for blue lagoon side by side to the great white. THANKS
Only the blue lagoon is still. on my 'to get' list. Turtles are for squares:)
Very nice. The Samuri is awesome.
From what I have seen, “Made in Japan” does not mean It’s a JDM model, it just means it was made in Japan. If it says “movement Japan” only the movement was made in Japan and the watch was made in another country.

It can be confusing.
The music was enough effort. I subscribed.
Nice. I have the blue lagoon. Want the save the ocean.
Awesome :) Which save the ocean are you leaning towards?
@@minitwatch I like the turtle look over samurai, but still haven't decided
Is there anywhere you can where you can still get the blue lagoon?
The only place I ever see it is on Ebay.
@@minitwatch thanks!
There are some on chrono24, they are expensive
Thanks for showing all three....now I want to buy the other two as well =/
I love the Save the Ocean, but I tried it on and it seems to small for my wrist. The Orient Maco XL seems to fit me better
HAve owned both STOs, now i only have the V2, my fave. I love the yellow on the BL, wish they had added some yellow in the STO 2 - it would be more perfect. But you can't beat the engraved bezel on the V2 with that thick texture - looks like but is better than ceramic. it's awesome.
Definetely subscribed after the Epic Morrowind reference. Very nice Touch
The new save the ocean says Divers watch 200 on the back and the other two say Air diver’s
Indeed!
Those are both designations that mean it's ISO 6425 certified.
I own the STO1, saving up for the STO2. Blue lagoon a bit too pricey, though one day I will get my hands on one. Turtles are not an option:)
Favorite watch channel ever !!!
you did it, samurai showdown.
thanks for the comparison and nice touch with time synchronization.
I've ordered double dome sapphires along with original samurai hour minute hands for my STO & GWS.
But for some reason I'm starting to second guess modifying. where do you stand as far modifying any of these?
Hello friend, what is the difference between seiko samurai srpd23k1 and SBDC029? They look exactly the same.
Aesthetically the Seiko Samurai Save The Ocean Special Edition is second to none. I keep on going back to preferring it over the new Seiko Samurai Save The Ocean Special Edition Great White Shark. But I want to like the Great White Shark more; it's the new old, different, and fresh.
Love your seiko samurai blue dial collection dude
May i know does the bracelet number means anything? My great white bracelet number is A47 whereas your save the ocean is A37
Wich one should I choose the sto1 or the sto2
i sang the song to myself on the train and the person next to me looked like she was going to jump out the window if i were to turn to her
Hello, can you please at least look at the Orient Star re-au0004b00b, it's a sarb033 alternative, which is cheaper and much better, no English reviews as well
Sorry but it's not a patch on the 033 visually, Roman numerals, power meter far too fussy and cluttered.
@@kissmylilpiggy power reserve is an advantage, very useful feature, visually the finishing is much much better than the sarb
I think it's more like a personal preference and the Seiko just has more clean dress watch feel. The roman numerals and the power reserve are the things that I don't like about the Orient and I can't say which one has better finish, because I have to see both in person.

What the difference between limited edition and special edition
I was never a fan of the samurai untill I went to Macy's herald square NYC and saw the STO 1 and once I saw that dial I ripped out the wallet and it's been in my rotation ever since. Now if I had to remove some parts from version 2 to mod my watch without a doubt it would be the bezel insert and seconds hand I feel looks better then version 1 with that being said I still prefer version 1...
The STO1's dial sure has that depth to it! Funny thing is, I did the exact same thing in Macy's hah!
I saw one yesterday in a local independent jeweler and it took all I could do to not whip out the credit card. The only thing that stopped me is the size. If it was 41mm or less, it would be on my nightstand right now.
There should be a Special Edition Turtle "Save the Green Lagoon"
haha! That would be excellent!
Do you still have all 3 Curt?
My takeaway from this is....I need to try a peanut butter, jelly, and chicken sandwich!
SRPC93 vs mini turtle, which is the best?
There is another 1 save the ocean samurai right? The 1 with all black pvd bezel
That is one of them and now there are two :) www.seiko-watch.co.jp/collections/en/prospex/SBDY029
@@minitwatch there are 3 STO samurai aren't there?
1. The one you have in this vid with bracelet.
2. The black colored bezel with rubber strap.
3. And the great white you have there
I'm so torn between getting Save The Ocean 1 or 2!!! The darker blue one might be more eye catching I think.
Me too, I already have too many blue divers
I have a Seiko Blumo and want to add either a Save the Ocean 1 or Save the Ocean 2. Any opinions?
1 is much nicer
@@saulo2264 AgreedI thought about it some more since then and the the Ocean 2 doesn't have that same pop of color as the first. Still cool but not as good.
No one has ever reviewed the green dail. Could you please review one?
New STO doesn't say "Air" Divers Watch on rear.
Truth.
I thought the great white STO was more turqoise?
STO Samurai or STO Turtle? This is the question. Tough choice
I own a Save the oceans turtle,my daily and love.So maybe the fin in of an Orca?
Look for STO videos while trying to compare them
Buy the STO 1 because I hope it'll come out the best, even though I couldn't find any comparison videos.
2 days later, see this video in my recommended
Edit: While watching this video I got a message that the seller is cancelling the deal :(
and you have to play the lottery game to get a perfectly aligned one
😅
Pretty much :p
Why so blue?
Save the Ocean 2 is my favorite
Who agree with me? Blue lagoon is better in look?
The second hand is definitely different on the new save the ocean.😉 It is a 🦈 tail.
Oh it's a TAIL!!! (smashes my head into Nerf® desk)
Who else started wearing their samurai after watching Keanu reeves saying, 'get up samurai.'
It was like he was in the room with me...

What about a shout out to your fabulous mom who talks to her banker, grocer, doctor about your channel, huh?
Check the Lume song is fucking amazing. Now I cant get this out of my head. Thanks...
Deep blue is called ultramarine blue. The light blue is called cerulean blue.
Shout out to your mom's friend, Ronnie, you ROCKS!!! XD
Maybe the guy at the gym is Corey Hart! )
Good "I wear my sunglasses at night" song reference!
Yeah, I walked into that one :p
The best way is to own the lot
Like i do...
Great white (sto2) is the best...lmao
Can you see that .... no you can’t looool

Hey! You should review the Seiko SUP880! Like, just do it😂
Azael Contreras For our viewing pleasure
Same movement, same crystal. What's the point releasing 2 more versions when number one looks the best?
I'm sorry... what type of sandwich? 🙅♀️
PB&J...&C
Blue lagoon the best...
Everytime you post something, I feel like buying something... make it stahp...
Movement japan means made in China. So I've been told.
lol ,great this is nice
....Try'n to PERVVVVVV on women when ya go to the tropical beachhhh..... Seiko needs to hire you for marketing. ha, funny!
If it weren't for these stupid animal skits, I'd watch more often. Some good ideas but to silly and immature.
