  • In this video I share with you what's left of my Seiko Watch Collection. I sold many Seiko watches in 2023 but I still have a collection I am proud to own. My collection also includes Grand Seiko and Credor watches!
    Here are some videos I have made on some of my Seiko Watches...

    Here is my Go Fund Me called Watches 4 Kids. I am raising money to buy disadvantaged kids watches as well as meeting these children to talk to them about watches and TH-cam.

    WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
    You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use TH-cams lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and TH-cam deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

    Great selection and great Stories Gary. You're killing me with that SBTM307 at the end - I mistakenly searched for 'SBTM' and found another beauty - SBTM339 - down the rabbit hole... love me a solar and this one is titanium + blue dial + minimal dial branding + radio wave correction (not fussed bout that last 'feature'). Gotta do the niteclub bouncer principle of 'only letting one in when one goes out' ;)

    So I think you were saying that you still had 017 alpinist in your collection!? I have a lot of seiko’s in my collection and that’s become my favorite. Consider picking up a strap code Jubilee.For it. They have fitted endlinks made just for the watch. My biggest regret is having sold my Saab 033. I’ve been trying to add it back in to my collection and they’re just not to be found for less than 2 1/2 times the original retail. Thanks for the great video!

    That old sentimental, broken old Seiko. So many of us have one. I gaze on the mighty SQ100 text on mine and weep that movements are no longer available. So they remain tucked away and every so often we put a battery in them in the vain hope of a long-lost tick. Stay strong brother. Stay strong.

    Very nice Gary! I recently bought a Seiko SCVE051 on a holiday in Japan. It's a blue dial open heart. I'd describe it as a budget presage. I couldn't find any reviews in English. Maybe a project for you?! 😊

    Im in to Prospex, and Arnie Seikos at the moment .
    But i just love those Grand Seikos , pure class .

    There was a time (about 10-15 years ago) when Seiko watches we're dirt cheap. Then I believe a few TH-cam creators caused a revival of the Seiko SK009 divers and the popularity sadly drove the price up.
    Nice watches btw Gary. 👍🙂🇬🇧

    Oh, right the SARB033. It was a fantastic little watch but it's no longer there. It had to go to fund something even better, a Grand Seiko!. It's a shame Seiko don't make quality movements like the 4L any more. It's all the same now, 4R and 6R, reliable but quite boring.
