teddy bulbasaur, i choose you!

Best comment ever lol

Teddy used san marten strap whip! It was super effective!
I could care less about the Hardlex crystal. When I pick one of these up, it’s to replace my dearly loved, totally beat to crap 42mm Seiko field watch that only has about 12 hrs power reserve on it. Every scratch and ding has a story. So many of them that they’re hard to remember. It survived the last ten years of police work and I still wear it often. This is the perfect replacement, and it will get just as beat
My AD is so generous to give a good discount so I purchased both.. I LOVE THEM!
I've been waiting for and hoping you'd review these. I picked up a SSK023 a month ago from overseas, and I'm loving it. It's now my go-to GMT watch.
I got the SSK023 from my favourite online (local to Australia) AD in a special VIP Customer exclusive special for around $260USD!!! Absolute bargain for a banger of a watch! Only thing I’ll probably do is throw an aftermarket milled clasp on, because besides that element, I love the bracelet!!
A true contender for a One Watch man.
with smaller wrists
No sapphire crystal is a bummer
I picked up the SSK023 from Teddy’s site a few weeks ago. I have noticed that I keep going back to this watch day after day. Would recommend, hoping to see the white dial option available soon.
Basically an Explorer II homage for 95% less money. Since this wasn’t available yet, I dropped an NH34 into an SPRD case and added a fixed 24 hour stainless steel bezel, sapphire crystal, and explorer style hands and dial. It’s one of my favorite watches now. All that’s missing on my version and Seiko’s is a white dial like the Explorer II. I’ll make that change soon. Bravo Seiko for such a great offering.
Teddy I bought the bracelet version of this watch because of you and your love of Seiko - particularly your glowing reviews of the older Seiko 5 GMTs (and I my wife and I regularly go between Sydney Australia and NYC). I have smaller wrists just like yourself and just getting into watches so not looking for an expensive piece to start. You are also the whole reason I'm into watches in the first place and I love my new watch!
My dady bought one NKUWAN and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
Just picked up the sport 5, love it
I bought them both. Very pleased with them. The ssk023 is a great size and the bracelet is super comfortable. The ssk025 is awesome except for the leather double pass strap. Toss it, I put it on a white stitch epsom. Beautiful. 👍🏼 Rock on Teddy!
Hoping you can help me out here. The 025, per the seiko website, isn’t being released until April. I don’t know anything about anything, but I’m trying to figure out how people are getting this watch before it’s released. Do release dates vary by country?
Ordered the 025 from you last week. Cannot wait for it to come in, this will probably be my daily watch for 2024. Love the black on black look with the hint of green in the hour markers.
got the ssk025 and swapped out the band for a rubber strap. I absolutely love it. super clean watch for everyday use.
I have the SBSC011, which is the JDM version of the SSK023.
I’ve had it for a little over a week and it hasn’t left my wrist. It’s a great watch; I’m a sucker for field watches, and always wanted a GMT, so I picked it up as soon as I could.
This is the perfect watch for me: I enjoy the look (sure, the dial is a bit busy, but it looks great in person and on the wrist). I also like that it has 100m water resist, and it didn’t break the bank either. It’s going to be the watch I travel with most of the time. It is very versatile, and I also don’t need to worry too terribly much about it.
Would I like sapphire? Sure. But I’ll just have a watchmaker swap out the crystal for a domed sapphire at the first service. Not a big deal.
The GMT complication adds a lot of visual interest. I enjoy it tracking the progress of my day at home, and I think it’ll be really useful when visiting different timezones.
I put mine on a brown leather strap, though I think I’ll use the bracelet for the summer.
Very happy with the watch and fully recommend it.
Teddy - my SSK023 arrived this past week. Got band adjusted yesterday/Saturday. Wearing it now and will wear it to work this week. My fellow execs will be eyeballing it for sure
Have the 025 black since mid-Jan . Pass thru nato strap on it and so far I love it .
Ordered the SSK023 from your store just now, Teddy. Looking forward to unboxing my new watch in a few days
Just a great watch overall, especially for daily use. Thanks for the video.
I have the ssk009 Pressage automatic GMT and love It.
Really liked the review, still I would pick the black one but prefer the earlier field watches. Those dials are a lot less cluttered. Although I do appreciate the extra gmt and bezel do fetch something to the game.
Picked one for $350 and super happy. I have a collection growing!!
I picked up the deploy the one on the bracelet and although I do like it and I also own the 5kx gmt and I’m thinking of upgrading to saffire. Hard to justify Seikos pricing nowadays when brands like San Martin give you much more value for your money. The 39mm 62mas homage I just picked up for under $200 has ar coated saffire great lume great finishing and is running between + 1 to +3 seconds fast on average ❤
Got myself this very model (silver) and very happy with it. Has been my GADA at the start of this year, 2024. A few features that I really like about this version would be:
- small dial GMT
- orange GMT hand which turned out to be just the right accent to the watch face
- bracelet is 👌🏻
- embossed numeric dial
- the general finish is really great
- if you stare at the dial at a certain angle, you will see how really beautiful the dial is.
Love this purchase and will keep this watch for sure!
Great to hear! Where did you purchase from?
Beast review on YT - keep up the quality. Appreciated.
My SSK001 has been fantastic. I image these will be as well. Good video review.
Nice thing that there is no "cyclops" lens above the date window with these Seiko5 GMTs.
I bought the SSK023 from your store, Teddy. I agree with the negatives you covered, but obviously not a showstopper for me. The crystal shows a nice distortion, but does enhance my anxiety a little over the non-sapphire glass. Also just thought I'd mention the dial does not look as cluttered on my wrist as what we see in a video. Good day.
I agree in the review, they did look cluttered, but now I will hold that thought and give it a look in person. Thanks for the comment. Helpful.
@@tonib5899 Well thanks for stopping by. However I thought I'd try to add some sense to my statement on clutter. I'm wearing the watch now, as it has not left my wrist for two days, in a living room medium lighting setting. The military numbers are subdued, but just bright enough to use making the hours pop against the dark dial. Perhaps the smaller less bright military numbers helps lessen a cluttered look. Yes by all means try to get that in person look. Your take may totally remain the same. I guess I would finish by saying everything just looks so well placed on the dial IMHO. Take care.
@@zumalot Thankyou.
3:14 tell that person to moisturize their hands!!
Not a good look
hahaha I was going to say the same. I generally don't care but with these macro shots it's a bit in your face.
Exactly!
Those are the hands of a nail biter that’s trying hard not to bite their nails anymore.
Be understanding as some people struggle a lot with this issue
One thing to note, when I tried on the 025 it’s thicker because the band is pull through in nature and so add two layers of the leather nato style strap. Also, my wrists are quite thin; the case sizing was fine but you get excess band when strapped on. You’ll have to tuck the excess back over the holding sleeve which in my opinion is less to be desired. I actually watched this video and went to get the watch but didn’t end up getting it, always a reminder to try it before you buy it.
The JDM model with the white dial is amazing.
WOW beautiful watch
I got my hands on to the JDM exclusive white dial and it’s a great everyday watch.
Me too!
@@coreyk288 sbsc009 and it's real. Only attainable in Japan or through a japanese distributor/reseller
@@coreyk288 SBSC009
What's the reference number?
@@steve9870 SBSC009
Hour indices should've been lumed. Inboard printed military time indices don't really do much other than crowd the dial on a GMT watch.
If it didn't have the 13-24 markers, I'd be lining up to buy it. It's a field watch sure, but it's also a GMT and so many numbers clutter up the dial.
We need that white dial Teddy.
lovely....another 1 I now want!
love the looks of this, wish there was a version with 38 mm and shorter lug to lug
Great video, thanks!
I'm happy. 39,4 perfect for my wrist. 🙃
Would love for you to review the Nezumi Aviera GMT. Their 2nd edition has a flyer GMT, a unique design and good dimensions for under $600 USD. Keep up the great work!
Got my sbsc009 JDM in ginza this past week. What's cool about the JDM variant of this watch is the white dial, the "made in Japan" notation on the dial rather than just "Japan" and the same notation on the case back, and finally the exchange rate. Great watch for the price in my opinion.
I want that white dial! Looks Great!
@@sdograIt looks like a Rolex Explorer II! 😊
I'm going to ginza in a few weeks. Any stores in the area you'd recommend or visited? Thanks!!
Mine gussl The new watch is great! I've praised its realism many times. I really recommend checking out their selection.
Looks great and interesting,I like it👍🏻.
Fantastic images, thank you! How to decide between these two housing colors?😵💫 The black version looks a little bigger.
If you look at the quality you can get for just over 1k. Probably the equivalent to something double the price if you are going to a store to to buy a watch then It’s worth paying the extra money and personally I would have SSK gmt sekio released a couple of years ago over these two new watches.
Got the ssk023 today at 20% off retail in dxb. Pretty looking watch, good finish.
Hi Can you provide the shop detail.
I love the white dial version which is only available in Japan.
I was wondering if there’s a significant difference between this and the Alpinist gmt version. It’s harder to choose one now. This one is even cheaper. Gotta love seiko
Hi Teddy, good videos as usual, as youre scooe covers almost all type of watches, i winder if you would be willing to make review for the new Timex Expedition North Automatic, titanium & saphire edition. Thanks
I love this release. Although, i really want the white dial.
So are the numbers a yellow color or green color depending on the white or black dial or are the numbers white?
Teddy, a noob question. There are hour markings at 2 hour intervals on the bezel. There are also 24 hour notations on the inner ring. What is the GMT hand pointing at?
Im waiting for a tan, brown coloured face and then ill buy one! Does seiko often come out with a brown, orange variant of most styles ?
SSK023 absoult strap monster... I love to wear all day...
Need the white dial version for the field option.
that's a very nice watch from Seiko.
That's a beautiful watch
I just discovered you have a sore in Westlake! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Check out the Shumate GMT from NFW watches (a microbrand). It has the latest GMT movement from Citizen Miyota and is a robust dive watch with an interesting history with US Special Operations Forces since 2010.
Damn you Seiko, I have enough of your watches already.
I bought this watch and it came in the mail. Before I saw this watch in person, I was attracted to the black edition because of its affordable price, interesting functions (including GMT), the attractive look of the black edition, and Teddy’s glowing shout-out in a previous video from about 3 weeks to a month ago.
When it came in the mail I was disappointed and underwhelmed. The strap was the worst aspect. It’s cheap looking and I didn’t like how you have to double it over on the side. Also, I found that the dial was pretty small and it seemed overcrowded with all of the details going on. I also bought it to be an all purpose watch for everyday use and it didn’t cut it for me. To be blunt, it wasn’t nice enough and did not check off enough boxes to be an all purpose kind of watch. When I say all purpose, I mean that it’s something that you can wear casually, as well as for work and for more formal events if you want (everything aside from rigorous activity). I bought the SPB243 instead and it is a far superior watch for my taste. Also, in Canadian dollars, the price is around $400 more and that makes a world of difference. Happy watch hunting!
I like them but I’m interested to see what dial colors come next
Hey Teddy...where have you been all my life? 🤓🤪 I have learned so much in the last 24 hours watching too many of your vids and just ordered a Seiko GMT from your website. Watching your vids I thought I was a legit watch collector but, I now know I am basically a kindergarten level collector. I have bookmarked too many watches to purchase in the future. hahahahah
Nice, reliable, cheap . Two beautiful GMT watches .
@Teddy ..Love your reviews on Seiko watches, I want to put up request for review seiko astron gps solar 5x53 dual-time sport titanium. Love to know more about this watch.
And any alternatives ..love to know 🙂
love this
Beautiful.💯👍
For close up plans it’s advisable to choose someone with clean fingers .
Agreed. That was rough.
I know what you mean, but they are clean. Whoever they belong to just has really dry skin.
Amazing anyone with those hands is showing them off!!😤
That black pvd is one sexy watch. Can you make a video on Diver GMTs, please? Cheers 🎉!
Really eye balling the silver one. However that price is a bit steep, coming from my timex titanium expedition. it was $360 that I got for 280. sapphire front and back and 200m of water resistance not the most accurate though. Has anyone bought this watch? curious as to what people think of it.
Nice, but I wish Orient would reissue their Polaris GMT ...
Teddy I need a review from you of the Laco Cuxhaven
Would be great if you told us what watch you're wearing too!
Just bought a new one for 280 including tax... that will be my only GMT in my collection
i wish the numerals were lumed like the snk381k
Nice watches. I like that jacket too, man.
Suave and debonair for sure.
I bought black one
Niceeee
3:05 a little hand lotion and a nail trimmer do wonders
Hello Mr. Teddy, can you please help me with purchase decision asy confuse between SSC813 and SSC911 which out of these is more value and good future investment
Damn, if only it had the compact lug to lug of the original Seiko 5 GMT. Not gonna upgrade, but I already own the original Seiko 5 GMT haha.
Great video
The black version is nice, but the strap is horrible. I placed a replacement strap right away. happy
...and no screw-down crown. THIS would have been my favorite, possibly "last" watch!
Teddy could you please do a review with these seikos with Kevin O’Leary
Why isn’t the white dial version of the SSK available in the US? The black dial looks great but the white dial looks phenomenal (exactly like a polar explorer).
Could not agree more!
What are the service costs and intervals for this?
Come on, Seiko, put a sapphire crystal on these!
The 2 24 hour markers are redundant. Should've picked one or the other or made the bezel bidirectional.
Nice coat, bruh.
I’m this >< close to pulling the trigger on this watch. I absolutely love it.
SSK023 I like it more 👍👏💪
Its easy to like yet its getting into a price range where I would prefer to pick a microbrand option. Its personal I know! I'm not keen on watches that are 400+ and the first advice you get is replacing the bracelet. Seeing this watch on nearly all the channels I am subscribed to I am leaning towards that its slightly overhyped? Field / GMT & Field GMT have quite the fanbase, it's not unexpected.
Boldr Safari GMT
The black dial/bracelet variant looks to be my perfect watch, too bad it seems to be out of stock
Why would they not lume the numbers?
I just wonder, why did they make a caller GMT instead of a traveller GMT?
As someone who fits squarely into the original target market for the Explorer II, this is very tempting.
Definitely considering, though for actual caving purposes, the Pagani Designs homage is still better. It’s expendable, and I think I’d be upset if I smashed one of these.
It’s the irony of the Explorer II. It can’t be used for its intended purpose! If I smashed an actual Explorer II, my bank manager would be upset…
As far as "cheap" watches isn't there a Vostok GMT?
I love Seiko but I'd rather get the Nezumi GMT, mainly for the sapphire
Thank you. I didn't know this brand and thanks to you i discovered new nice watches. The automatic GMT is great!
I hope they have a white dial version
Japan only 😨
@@nihkoh maybe some day
They already have: Seiko SBSC009. For Japan only.
