@@theknightswatch lol thanks. Recently I purchased a Heimdallr Seaghost in black, a homage to the Omega Seamaster from No Time to Die. I think I’m becoming a collector lol
Great review. The whole review...I was pretty sure it was narrated by Edward Norton. Sounded like him, at least: “When you have insomnia, you’re never really asleep...and you’re never really awake.”
The SRPD recently became one of my most worn watches. Quirks aside (the end links don’t match up as well as I’d like etc), it has a clean design and mine barely loses a second or two, in a week. I might’ve just gotten lucky, but that’s pretty accurate, for an affordable watch.
Just got 1, but got the one with gold around the hour markers and hour and minute hands, it is a understated gold look but gives it more contrast look with the gold and the lume and looks great with the green dial.
The SKX and the SPRD bracelets are interchangable, but be advised the SKX used the large spring bars. Standard spring bars will rattle in SKX and the large spring bars will not work in the SRPD.
Couldn’t afford a Hulk, nxt best alternative. And i love wearing mine every day. The green reminds me of golfing which i love. I also have the jubilant bracelet for a little classier look. The offset crown doesn’tdig into the back of my hand and i get compliments everywhere with it. A great watch for the price point.
I think I’d go for this one. The green is a little more interesting but not too over the top. The dress kx is a very nice watch but I think this one is a little more tool oriented while the other kind of tries to play both worlds while not perfectly fitting in either.
i have that exact same circular blemish (scratch) on the tail end of the minute hand on mine. Maybe it's made in the manufacturing process? I'm guessing some sort of suction cup that makes it? no clue..
Can i wear this watch everyday? Its looks kinda premium with this green dial, i really like it. But i also want to wear it everyday. Should i get the black one for everyday use?
I would say so, although green isn’t as versatile as black or white or maybe even blue, this still is a dark enough shade where it doesn’t stand out too much.
I just got my first Seiko and went with this model. I got a steal at £100. No box or extra links but I love it. I'm a little confused with the date wheel though I have french and English and I'm not sure if the numbers sweep to the next or click at 12. Does anyone know?
Typically the date and day takes about 30-45 minutes to sweep over. Rarely a watch clicks over immediately. Congrats on the watch and enjoy it, it’s a great piece
Great call on the wearability of the case. Like you I've never been a fan of the SKX007, but I do like this range. I have worn a friend's Islander, and those are terrific watches for the money. Marc runs a terrific business. I recently sold my current generation Diver 300, and lately I kind of have a thing for a Rado Captain Cook, but when it comes to super affordable dive/tool watches I do think Seiko made a great move from a sales perspective. I bet Seiko has sold a ton of them, especially to mainstream buyers who would have never considered an SKX.
Agreed. I should be getting an islander to review soon that Marc was kind enough to send to me so that should be cool to see them side by side. I’ve owned an islander briefly in the 38mm size and it really is well built for the most part.
Ya comes with more links than what it’s sized at in the video. Should fit you to an 8 in wrist or so but if you have a wrist bigger than that you’ll have to try to order more links. Just look up a video on sizing bracelets and you should be able to do it yourself
@@gfeast4518 I wouldn’t worry too much about whether or not it’s made in Japan there isn’t really any difference. I bought this from eBay so that would be a good place to start
You may. Green is my favorite color and even I had my reservations on this watch. The quality and depth of the color for the price was a pleasant surprise.
On object that claims to be something but can't reach what it promised ist called kitsch (trash) in jaopanese it's also called kisshu キッシュ And that is exactliy what this watch is. It claims ro be a diver but it is not
Green dial just tempt me so much !!! It looks very premium and just in love with it!
I have the blue version. It was my first automatic watch and absolutely fell in love with automatics afterwards.
That’s awesome, it’s a fantastic watch and a really great first one! Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Theres no going back

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. I can definitely hear some similarities to Norton!

I like its bezel-less siblings even more. It's a very good design which deserves better materials and finishing(sure higher price also).
Ya I do like how those are in 40mm as well and wear pretty thing. It wears much better than I expected and really is a fun one!

I have this watch but added a new bracelet from strapcode in 316L SS .
Beautiful watch I was looking forward to buy it (also my first watch)
What's the difference between the srpd63 to the srpd63k1?
Awesome review bro.... The best review i ever saw.... Hmmm im confused to buy green or orange 🤔...
what's the difference between this and the SRPD63K1
I bought the black variant with the white minute track /silicon strap. Very nice watch
I bought it, Its very beautiful watch.
Fantastic video! I just ordered one of these and am now 10x more excited after watching this!
Awesome! Let me know what you think of it. It’s a pretty great watch
I have higher end watches but for some reason I really want one of these
Never hurts to have a fun watch you don’t worry about beating around
Man what a review! Great job 💪👏
What is the watch you prefer between this Seiko and the Orient Ray III ? Thanks man 🙂.
I love the SKX and have been considering buying the “updated” model. Great review.
The new one is the way to go. Old one doesn’t really have much benefit unless you really want to go diving
The black silicone strap with curved ends is perfect for this watch
Interesting watch. Love the colour! Which out of this and the SRPE57K1do you prefer?
I think I’d go for this one. The green is a little more interesting but not too over the top. The dress kx is a very nice watch but I think this one is a little more tool oriented while the other kind of tries to play both worlds while not perfectly fitting in either.
@@theknightswatch Looking forward to the SUP 880 review 👌
i have that exact same circular blemish (scratch) on the tail end of the minute hand on mine. Maybe it's made in the manufacturing process? I'm guessing some sort of suction cup that makes it? no clue..
sorry, the model is not the SRPD63K1?
I like this better than the skx because of the hand winding/hacking and especially the applied indices. Good video thanks. Subbed you.
What is the difference between SRPD63 and SRPD77? Only strap?
Dial colour
Can I know the model of the timex watch at minute 11.03?
Great video! Thinking about getting one and your vid really helped! Keep it going
Happy to help. This still is one of my favorite watches I currently own. Completely surprised me.
Got this after watching your great video!!! thanks!!!
Awesome hope you are enjoying yours. Glad I could help!
Are they expensive? Looking for a new watch in the u.k
I don’t think so can probably easily find them under 200 pound.
Thanks

Excellent review! Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏻 appreciate you watching
What is the difference between SRPD63K1 and SRPD61K1
The tones of green are different. The 61 leans more blue and doesn’t have the rose gold accents.
why do some have JAPAN written in Basel and some don't?
I just got my first Seiko and went with this model. I got a steal at £100. No box or extra links but I love it. I'm a little confused with the date wheel though I have french and English and I'm not sure if the numbers sweep to the next or click at 12. Does anyone know?

Great video.....is it just the rose gold color or is it really rose gold plated????
Thanks! just colored rose gold
On their website it says 40 mm case but you mentioned here it's 42mm ?
Awwww... is the bezel slippery for your little girly hands? 😂
Personally, my fingers are strong enough, so I didn't have an issue with it.
Just slightly I’ll bring it you you next time I need to turn it
Are they solid links ?
Great review
Is it changeable strap ?
Yes of course you can change the band
Yes obviously you can, you absolute whalloper.
@@barrylarryharry7183 some Seiko 5s you can't
Mine died after 2.5 months, warranty not honored, bummer!
Why not honoured?
this is so pretty
Agreed!
Does this come with extra links and can I make it longer myself?

@@theknightswatch awesome, thanks!
Also where would you recommend getting this watch, I see it all over from $190-220 but can’t tell if some are made in Japan while some aren’t
@@gfeast4518 I wouldn’t worry too much about whether or not it’s made in Japan there isn’t really any difference. I bought this from eBay so that would be a good place to start
Good homage watch.
Excellente montre 👍
May I be excused? ( i do like the green. )
You may. Green is my favorite color and even I had my reservations on this watch. The quality and depth of the color for the price was a pleasant surprise.
On object that claims to be something but can't reach what it promised ist called kitsch (trash) in jaopanese it's also called kisshu キッシュ
And that is exactliy what this watch is. It claims ro be a diver but it is not
You can’t take it to the marianas trench but I’m sure it’ll survive the pool.
It's a beautiful watch, I would buy it if it wasn't for the ugly new seiko5 logo.
Hollow end links, hollow bracelet, hardlex, stamped clasp. And this is why im never buying another Seiko
It's has the expensive look
Great review
