Seiko SSK035 - The Rolex GMT Master II for us peasants?

Automatic, GMT, jubilee style bracelet, cool color options and from one of the most respected names in watch making, for less than $500?

Found your channel from your Seiko PADI review. Just subscribed 👍
I was recently gifted a Citizen Eco-drive amd have been going down the rabbit hole 😂
In between the PADI solar and this Seiko GMT at the moment.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

That's a tough call... The PADI solar is a little larger, and you set it and forget it... The GMT is interesting and automatic... So if I were the sales guy at the store and you were looking to buy, I would ask you what feature more fits your needs for this watch?
Do you actually need to monitor 2 time zones and don't mind winding the watch occasionally or the lower(100M) water resistance? Or do you want the less maintenance and better water resistance of the PADI?

[@JonahCrisanti-hi3bo]

@Daves_Man_Cave thank you for the reply. I work in aviation and often fly +1/-1 hour from home. All of our maintenance is recorded in GMT, so the GMT function would have some benefits in my daily to day life.
The things about the GMT that are holding me back are the friction fit bezel. I just feel like that would drive me nuts on a dive "style" watch! Another little gripe would be the push-pull crown as opposed to the screw down found on the PADI.
My best bet would probably be to get both!

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

Both, is always an option. :-)

It is a beautiful watch.

You have a very nice taste for watches… I have both the Jet Star and Lunar Panda.... and I’m considering this one and found your channel… Keep up the good videos

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

Yeah, I scratched my Jet Star up a bit last night taking dishes out of the sink. the edge of the sink is granite and abrasive and I accidentally nicked the watch against that edge... so pissed, but I guess watches are gonna get scratches over time...

[@framptonhendrix530]

Yes correct​@@Daves_Man_Cave

[@carlosalbertogarbijr6212]

I find that litle curved glass to make the date number bigger so ungly and old, somehting should just stay in the past, it's not classic, not good to look at, just plain ugly and destroys watever good the watch has.

[@Daves_Man_Cave]

To each their own. I think that on a modern piece, they can design a better aesthetic... But when clearly gunning for a 60s or 70s retro vibe, I don't see the issue with staying true to form...
