![This Is The Best Diver Seiko Makes (Under $500) [The King Turtle] SRPE03](/img/n.gif)
Fire intro. Seiko send him a check
Oisin is not for sale....
Lenny? Hmmm
Think it got him de-monetized though....
band Rush, song Tom Sawyer.
Or a watch for a giveaway!!
Guess Marathon divers are out of the equation
Im a simple man. I see Oisin. I smash the like button.
SSSSSSSSSick intro bud....
I actually sold all of my luxury watches after moving on to other passions and hobbies and settled on a King turtle Manta Ray, best decision i ever made, it's a tank of a watch and is just really beautiful to look at, and it's just as accurate as other high end chronometers and the greatest thing is that you don't have to baby it and you don't care about resale value because you don't have to sell it and just keep it.
>just as accurate as high end chronometers
Only if you get lucky out of the box
I have the same watch the Manta Ray version and it's one of my favorites. That dial is killer. The white version of this green one is nice as well. I'm getting both someday. Man Seiko just kills it everytime. I'm after the 1968 reissue prospex next though. $1000 bucks but I know I won't regret it. That's about the most I can justify spending on a watch or slightly higher. There are just too many great watches at that 600 to 1200 range. My 2nd favorite brand lately is Glycine. The 42 Combat sub. Got one in Bronze and Stainless steel. They have ETA 2824-2 movement. That watch and my Seikos are worth every penny.
@@ungabungus01 just get it regulated it's not that expensive or complicated
@@ungabungus01 you can get them serviced to within cosc
I knew this was gonna be a legendary video so I made myself a steak dinner and a martini just to enjoy it. Am not disappointed.
I enjoy a steak with whiskey but I’ve never had one with a martini. Must try it! 😎
Yeah bottle I'd facing down on the left with a wrench front which also can be become a elephant front with a 3 left wiggly ear
That was the most epic intro yet...love Tom Sawyer and the editing was spot on...well done!
Hairs on my back of my neck.
I love how he is willing to sacrifice for the art. Will this get demonitized probably, does he care nope. It's for for art.
Rush will get a few quid. Its a win win.
🤘 That was fun 🤘
He is a fellow musician.
@@derekshearer9049 yeah I don't think oisin here is struggling for cash one freaking bit.
My son and I stopped by a Seiko AD in Plano, Texas. With all the expensive watches around, the manager was really excited about this watch., the Seiko SRPE05 as a good "starter watch"for my son. Heck, forget that, I want one for myself. Thanks for the great video!
Probably my favorite episode of TTWC so far! Badass intro! Loved the whole Tom Sawyer jam and your obvious excitement. I love my multiple Seiko Turtles, now it may be time to add the King 👑
Good luck improving on that! BRAVO on each and every note! Seems like just yesterday we were all mesmorized watching Neil do his thing. Rush did change the game forever... OUTSTANDING video Sir, OUTSTANDING ! Thank you for doing what you do and doing it so well ...
I loved this video! I couldn't help but smile throughout, the childlike joy and wonder you have over this watch is contagious! I don't mean that in a negative way either, it's nice to see a more lighthearted and fun video every now and then! Keep up the great work, I'm always very excited when I see a new video from you :)
My King Samurai has made me almost forget about the Submariner that Rolex won’t sell to me.
Yep true that...especially the white dial one!!
@@samwatkins9200 that thing is super tempting!!
The production here is absolutely brilliant . Utterly top drawer. Just having a watch modded ......using Seiko parts in the main , as I couldn’t source a pink dial in any other name, strapcode jubilee strap . 200m WR screw down crown, Crystal with AR both sides . Great fun doing it for the first time. Built by a well respected person in the trade, just over £500... just different . Looking forward to the video you referred to .
Having grown up a Rush fan and jammimg to "Tom Sawyer" as a teenager and receiving a Seiko diver as my first watch from my father while in 7th grade, I approve of this video!!!
Pye Dubois approves of this video and he doesn't own a watch.
I tried the Save the Ocean version yesterday, the one with the manta rays, dark grey dial and rubber band. Came back today for a second try, the piece is now mine. I too own a Rolex and a Panerai, as well as a few G-Shocks, but this King Turtle offers outstanding quality and enjoyment for the price.
I haven't heard him sound this excited about a watch in such a long time.
Agreed! For the entire video, Oisin was like a little kid that couldn't get the words out fast enough about how much he loves his brand new watch. Ha! Beautiful watch. Also another amazing video. I could spend a Saturday afternoon binging them all.
He's been knee deep in Rolex (half of which look the same) for so long, that it's refreshing to see takes on other brands like this and the brilliant Panerai video. There are so many other cool brands out there. Breitling in Sienna, Omega in Trieste and the Alpinist are probably his best videos. Keep these ones coming.
Maybe because he’s not wrapped up in a jacket and scarf like normal. Summer is coming 😂
I've been waiting for this video for so long! Also great production quality as always! Keep up the good work man. You are definitely my favorite watch TH-camr!
Thats a great video. Love the style change up. Bought the King Turtle a few weeks back, love it, so easy to wear fearlessly!
Man a video that start with Rush, fantastic video!
Love your music selection! I grew up in the 80's. Thank you for all you do.
Rush, the greatest band ever IMO. RIP Neil. Great video and watch. You are the reason I discovered the SARB017, its my favorite of all my watches.
Your vids are a real joy to watch. This is the first Turtle I've debated getting. The sharp bezel knurling and dial are really cool.
Venice , a military chunky kick ass Seiko , smooth narrative , and Tom Sawyer ! What a combo , and man does that intro work !
Oisin, thank you so much for your content. Your production values on this one are off the charts. Bravo. If I’m ever in Venice or you’re in San Francisco, I’m buying you all the whiskey you want. You’re without question the best watch content on TH-cam. Only guy who’s not asking me to buy their silly straps or peddling their authorized products. I appreciate what you do for true horophiles and the art you put into it.
I own this exact watch and am in love with it. Perfect alignment, 3 seconds slow a day, the perfect green, the most comfortable strap and cushion case imaginable. Could I sell the rest and be a one watch King Turtle man? Let’s not get carried away, that must be the whiskey talking.
The same one I have - I alternate between a Miltat/Strapcode Angus Jubilee bracelet and the green silicone one it came on. Superb timekeeping - loses 2 or 3 seconds on the wrist, but overnight, flat on it's back, it gains back 3 seconds. It's a watch you never need to correct the time on - barring months without 31 days. Glad you like it too.
Am i the only one concerned about that Yachtmaster could fall in the water? Great intro and filming btw ! Cheers from Italy
Maybe it’s a prop (“fake” in the watch world).
It's a real one
@@i1p2p3o4c5a6m7p9o9 Lame joke, sorry
Love the intro. There are many watch enthusiasts that have a Seiko in their watch collection but willing to admit it. Wear what you like not what others believe you should have. Well done.
Alright . I am 1 min into the video and asking myself why Seiko haven't hired you for an ad campaign. Bloody brilliant video and the music is class. Right I'll watch the rest of it....... Well done Oisín.
If that doesn’t make you want to go out and buy a Seiko, I don’t know what will! Love your vibe and energy. Slick production with the Rush, too, and obviously at a sacrifice of revenue. Oh, and the WATCH...! That bad boy is killer. The waffle dial will now be referred to as the grenade as well.
First, great choice for an intro song! Second, couldn’t agree more about Seiko. I have a SRPD21 “Great White” and wear it just as much as my Black Bay! Awesome video, thank you!
Saw this video 5 days ago and ordered the watch straight away. I cant stop looking at the dial. Even better, no back play, everything lines up. Absolute mint item. No need for a new saphire and the dive strap is the most comfortable I have
Only a bassist could keep time with a drummer in this way. This is true art. Bravo. Time signatures and timeless watch. RIP Neil Peart
Your videos are super artistic and stylistic and very original which is what makes them super addictive to watch. You daughter is very talented! Love the interaction with Lenny btw. Humour works every time!
Boy oh boy. Contagious excitement and deserved audience. You proved yourself a watch guy and true to yourself. Looking good on camo. Love Seiko divers and this one with the grenade Dial is awesome.
On of the Best watch channels TH-cam. Entertaining, honest, and well made. Right balance in my opinion. Great videography and music too.
This is the best watch channel on youtube , the videos the music the photos are the best. this is the standard to measure everyone against. And Seiko owes you a check,I will receive my Seiko King Turtle tomorrow,I bought it from Hong Kong.
I been collecting luxury and high horology watches for many many years. I also have a collection of seiko watches and especially the prospex dive watches. I love them and in particular this watch. He is right, it is super comfortable and it oozes quality. Seiko watches have been very collectable in the last few years and it's very good value for money even though some versions are priced at entry level luxury watch brands. You cant go wrong with this watch.
Seiko fan or not ! credit where credit is due this is a fantastic video . Oozes quality from start to finish , great content , beautiful locations , professional photography and editing . Well done to all 👍
Fantastic video. Different from what you normally do and I loved hearing Rush in it. The videography was awesome.
My wife will be so pissed. I just bought this watch after seeing the video. You sir are a blessing and a curse
Rush. Amazing intro, great videography, stunning watch all in a perfect location. You found heaven Oisin!
First video of yours im watching, ur video came as a suggestion on youtube. And dude, i literally went wtf in awe while watching ur intro. SICK EDITING
That was a killer intro! Absolutely loved it. Also enjoyed the whole review. Awesome video and soundtrack bro!
Really enjoyed this “epsidoe” love me some seiko as well as the heavy hitters. Really appreciate you giving us the music at your channels expense....wish you all the success
Mate I don't think I've seen you this excited about a watch in ages. Love it
Great Intro - Love Tom Sawyer and all Rush music
Your videos have gotten me back into my watch collecting again.
I had to come back to this video for the intro alone. Love your videos and exquisite taste for music, watches and whiskey!
As soon as I heard Tom Sawyer, I knew I was going to have to watch the whole video. Also, I love the triple screen shot towards the end. Just like the Rush videos in the 1980’s. Oh, and the watch review was good too.
YES MAN! This is what I’m talkin bout! Neil Peart at his finest + TTWC production quality and content brought back memories of my misspent drumming days all the while being Seiko educational...now I’m actually checking the Prospex out as a potential addition to the collecsh - kanpai Oisin 🥃
That intro. Knocked it out of the park. Superb. "You know what watches I wear! But my favourite is a Seiko". Brilliant
I own the Seiko Padi Turtle 🐢. One of my favorites in the collection. Definitely want to eventually add a new King 👑 Turtle 🐢 to the collection. Thanks for an awesome review 👍🏻💯
Neil Peart best drummer ever...RIP.
Great video Oisin.
Love Rush & Seiko !!!
While I have quite a few high end watches, i sometimes think to myself that one of my Seikos could be the only watch i would ever need. I have had some bad luck with the company with QC issue though but ive had mostly good experiences with the brand. I worked construction for almost 10 years and i wore a SKX the whole time. The watch got completely abused and now it looks like someone dragged it down the sidewalk. Vibrations from power tools, impacts, scratches, hot temperatures, and extreme cold temperatures. It kept on ticking and now even after 10 years its still running +10 a day. Yeah of course its nice to have nice things and im a Omega and Rolex fanboy myself but you cant deny a Seiko will serve you quite well.
Wow! The zoom in intro is awesome!! :D I love SEIKOS because they bring out the kid in us :)
I’ve seen Rush 9 times, and all your videos once. All were excellent!! Especially this one.
Rush...Tom Sawyer...greatest song ever!!!!! Gave up the monetization at the very end with Rush outtro....well done sir! RESPECT!!!
And they just keep getting better and better. Really enjoy the artistic edge that you bring to your channel. Just superb!
This video inspired me to love not just the hobby, but the craft. The time soaked into creating this was fantastic, and it was obvious you had fun. As a newcomer, I thank you. Alas the reverse psychology worked, your counterpart would be proud. Congrats, you have a new subscriber.
Stay grounded and real to so the everyday man can relate.
P.s.- this video inspired me to take the dive into this hobby and make my first purchase.
Cheers
Happy belated St Paddy's day Oisin! Loved the video as always, hope you are doing great and keep doing amazing content! Can't wait to hear more life stories
This watch just came in today, but I got the one with the stainless steel bracelet. This review convinced me to pull the trigger. I now have a Seiko that checks off all the boxes, and Oisin was right, the cyclops is a hair off center. Couldn't be happier. Thanks for the review and your channel :)
Tom Sawyer!!! Such great video production, and content. I really love your channel.
Thanks for one of the best watch reviews of all time. Great music, photos, video, commentary, and of course Lenny. Not sure you can beat this, but I dare you to try!.
Amazing intro. Fantastic review. Brilliant closing out section. Absolutely made my Friday. Thanks!
One of the coolest watch reviews I've seen.
Great job.
Seiko has been killing it in the 500 to 1200 usd price range last 5 years. Even in the 1960s they made some amazing automatic chronographs that nowadays costs around 600 to 800 usd.
You sold me, brother - that intro was badass.🤘🏽
Great review of a great watch!
I have had the black one for just under a year now and you have made me fall in love with it again also why have I juat came across your channel great video cheers mate
Respect across the board. Embracing watches at all price points, choice of music and certain demonization, and rocking the camo. From one bassist and Rush fan to another...RIP Neill. Cheers Oisin
RIP Neil Peart 😥❤️
I Rushed out to buy mine yesterday after watching the video a second time.
Ladies and Gentleman, the Bar has been raised! Great intro, Oisin!
Man, superb video! Rush music with those visuals, Lenny, an your content, it made my day worth living! Thank you!
Rush! OMG perfect choice Oisin. Fantastic music video homage intro. Man the King T is very cool. Can't say that about the hat though sorry mate. Luckily we already know your not batting for the other side...... not that there's anything wrong with that. Sensational editing by the way. To be honest your Rush outro segment with the playfully edited King T shots is the best outro I've seen on TH-cam, period. Congrats.
I literally got out of bed after watching the first minute of this video. That intro though! I've watched it over and over. It's perfect! You sir have a real talent with these vids. I'm going to become a Patreon just because I feel bad I'm getting this kind of content for free.
I completely agree. It’s my favourite watch at the moment. I have a number of Swiss watches and many Seiko divers. I love the subtle green and yellow sweep hand. It’s amazing how the ceramic bezel insert and sapphire crystal lift it above my other turtles.
what's your wrist size?
Terrific video! Love your no nonsense approach to content, kind of reminds me of my own style of videos. 🤣 Anyway, I just purchased this watch today, mostly based on this awesome video. My Black Bay Chrono is now in a Seiko box hitching a ride home 🤣. Keep up the great work!
Great video on a great watch. I have the Seiko turtle & I put a blue rubber deployment strap on it. Looks wicked cool! The song was great too
I have limited edition Emerald Green and Dawn Grey Seiko Turtles and absolutely love them. They get a lot of wrist time despite having a couple of Omegas, Oris etc in the collection. The turtle case is just such a great shaped case and on the black rubber strap looks awesome. Get a lot of compliments on them and people asking me what kind of watch is it.
I have to agree, they do indeed make great watches and their variety means there is one for all tastes....Great job, oh, and before I forget, great video 👍
Great review! I enjoy the King Turtle, Blue Manta and how the blue captures light differently throughout the day. Way to go Sieko. I really want a white daily King Turtle and let the lumes really glow!
I saw your Instagram post last week on the watch and then went in my local retailer and without even asking them they gave me 40% off! Brilliant! And love the watch in that color. Great video.
These cushion case Seikos always make me think of Apocalypse Now. And like the movie, it's thrown together and a bit shabby in some places but by god it works, and it feels like it could survive a trek through the jungle. My next diver is gonna be the mini turtle, hoping the latest JDM model gets a release in North America so I don't have to import. And happy St Pat's!
the “cushion case” literally changed my whole feeling of the watch now its my top watch i want to buy, it never clicked with me before i tried it on this weekend
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Great review, great editing, great song and just an overall good watch review. He seemed really energetic and upbeat in this video, He must really be loving his Seiko grenade :-) you’ve sold me, I’m buying one
The intro is the business! Production and editing just on a different level! 👌👌🤘
That's some nice editing! New level right now!
couldn't help but grinning ear to ear at that intro! Wear it in good health!
Any watch channel that gives Seiko the respect they deserve and bookends that video with Rush, is automatically the coolest channel on you tube. Hats off sir. Now I'll strap on my Seiko 5 Sports daily wear and go for a walk and a coffee in Elgin Il. Ciao.
Thanks a lot pal! I bought 2 Omegas last week and now I've had to buy a Seiko King Turtle, arriving tomorrow, you can tell the wife.
You're knocking it out of the park with your videos of late. Finishing with Rush is just class. Try and get your hands on a Seiko SPB143. It has taken the place of my Rolex Sub and months later I can't stop wearing it, also on a silicone strap.
Thanks for the review. You're quite the salesman; just picked one up today. I wasn't sold on the color based on the video but I really like it and have already received a compliment today. I paid $450 and consider that a great value.
Beautifully done! You're starting to have fun with this, and it's working. 🤙🏼
Thanks for the Rush music. My only Rush Concert was in Portland, OR in 1976. They opened for Kiss in a 2,500 seat theater. I had front row middle seats (Don't ask me how, I still may be wanted). But to the turtle. Great looking watch. I didn't know it had the sapphire. Always something interesting in the watch front!
Whether it's a Rolex or a Seiko I never miss a video. Who needs BBC or Netflix. Superb stuff as always.
Fu**ing amazing soundtrack. Great video. 😁
Oisin! I just got this watch (JDM spec with kanji day wheel for giggles) partly due to this video, which I found (and found your channel) while looking into it. I love it! You were totally right. Keep up the awesome content. I’m working through your backlog.
Best intro of all your videos, in my opinion. And not only because of the song. The videography/editing is on point.
Agree with everything you say. I have a King Samurai with the white waffle dial and the silicon strap is just so comfortable. Just one gripe though. The strap retainer is rather large and cumbersome and it tends to move around. Great value though.
Oisin looks like a Latin America dictator in that outfit haha
...but one that only rules a small village (and the people still chuckle when they see him).
Good on you for not caring what people think!
Nah, with Seiko, it's Heart of Darkness, Colonel Kurtz
Apocalypse Now, I mean
Oisin "CHE GUEVARA"
Yeah but then not with the Turtle. Any dictator worthy of that name won’t settle for anything less than a solid gold Rolex.
I just bought today this green grenade Seiko king turtle. From a watch store in our local mall. He had two of them so I was able to pick out the one with no quality issues. I showed him on my phone that I could buy this watch right now from Joma shop for 352.oo plus 20.oo off coupon for your first order. I told him I would like to buy it locally from you instead and then start to get all my watches from you. I put $350 down on the counter in cash. That's 329.00 plus tax. He said ok, I could not believe it. This watch is so awesome and especially now for that money. Your review was awesome also. You are very very funny. After seeing your video it made me really want to get that watch even more. Because I was thinking someone like you who has $20,000 watches loves this watch it made me love it even more. Thanks 😊 Ray usa 🇺🇸 ❤
I love the "Tom Sawyer" Rush intro to your video. Great video!
The Seiko "Grenade" is definitely a hit. Arguably one of the best watches in its price range. Love it to death.
