      Hi Hafiz, if you had to pick between this marinemaster blue and Tudor Pelagos blue regardless of their prices which would you pick?

    I just recently finally acquired my grail Seiko SLA047J1 Marine Master watch . This is the nicest watch I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned higher end Swiss watches in the past . This MM300 is in a class by itself 👍🏻💯

    I love your detailed unbiased reviews.
    Cinematography and music is absolutely spot on.
    I love your theme music and I must say that you're my personal favorite watch reviewer.
    I truly admire and appreciate how you don't actively try to sell these watches like most YTbers and simply put out this content out of genuine passion of this hobby.
    Your wonderful accent adds another level of "luxury and high class to the production of all your videos.
    Hope you hit 100k subs soon as you truly deserve it.
    Much love from Canada.

    Curiously, I don't mind the grooves on the date wheel, I think it offers a bit of tool like texture and industrial appearance.

  • @HarryFlashmanVC

    I think the ultimate testimony of the MM300 is despite its pricepoint you find yourself wearing it as a tool. Every luxury Swiss diver I've ever owned, I am concious about pampering it. Wearing an MM300 is similar to wearing an SKX, you bung it on and it sort of stays on your wrist through thick and thin.

    You need to add a link and move the micro adjustment holes on the clasp and you would have a better fit without always having the clasp extention out. Maybe on hot days.

    I really don't have a problem with it no longer having the Marinemaster marking; I like its low key attitude. It IS a Prospex, after all, and, if you don't know enough to see what it is, you don't know enough to care.

    Excellent, Hafiz, thanks for the hard work youve put into this.
    For me, a married family man with too many financial commitments, I really really appreciate the 'Prospex' branding... why? Well, if I turn up at home with an Omega, Rolex or Tudor, my non-horology-enthusiast wife AKA 'The Finance Director' would blow her lid and months of lectures, hard looks and sarcastic comments follow... so for me, a watch that to the unititated might seem at first glance to be a Turtle or SKX thanks to the shape, the luxury of the watch slips under the wire 😂..."it's just another Seiko diver"..... and the domestic peace is kept..
    It's a bit like my car... an unbadged Benz S500... "what? 5lt V8 engine? Id NEVER be THAT irresponsible dear...."
    And thus a happy marriage of 25 years continues......
    However, the "Crown Prince" .. Number 1 Son.. is now 16 and is also interested in watches and cars. In fact I gave him my prized SKX007J for his 16th birthday. I am now doubting the judgement of encourages Seiko enthusiasm here, as he knows damn fine that my MM300 is no 'ordinary Seiko' and came very very close to spilling the beans on my Grand Seiko Sports... 'just an old Seiko Quartz, dear...'....
    I will need to have a long hard chat around how the world works!

  • @francispacis4867
    @francispacis4867 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review! As for the lum, I’m guessing it was designed as such with depleting brightness as our eyes adjust to the under water ambience. Otherwise, I’m guessing again, a constant illumination, like what Balls offers, might be a sweet target for barracudas... we wouldn’t want that. No no no.

    @robertd4468 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I’ve had my MM300 for 8 years. I’ve never had it serviced.
    You are correct, it does have an unacceptably high seconds per day gain/loss. Mine gains about 10 seconds per day.
    The saving grace is that it’s built like a tank. I’ve worn it and banged it against everything. Mine is not pretty. I’ve been hiking, camping, swimming and everything else in between. It can take just about any kind of abuse you can give it.

    • @seang2822

    • @HafizJMehmood
      @HafizJMehmood  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Many thanks. For that kind of money; pelagos is a better watch in my opinion. Better clasp, better time accuracy, lumed bezel, smaller size, lighter weight due to titanium.
      Blackbay 58 blue if you prefer smaller watch - I just can’t wear as it’s too little for my liking.
      Omega - not bad, but nothing groundbreaking from Submariner.

    Great review. These are great watches. They definitely wear small and are fantastic professional tools. I agree that the Prospex X logo is a step backwards. It cheapens the look of the watch because the logo is poor (like a knock-off games console) and because there's no range separation between these truly professional watches (and LX), with the cheaper, non professional models. Good dial/hand finish for the price when you consider the finish of the case and the quality of the movement.
