Nice list Kieron, I'm particularly liking the Junzen and Kuoe brands! I'm still tempted by the Seiko snkl23. There are also a few other dial colours of that model, snkl15 which has a white dial and snkl19 which has a lovely grey/silver dial with gold hands and indices. Decisions, decisions!! Great video as always, cheers 👍

@pentecost_ 6 ай бұрын
5:50 I believe the Seiko SNKL23 is NOT discontinued. In fact, I just purchased a unit just 3 days ago. The store I bought it from had tons of stock for the SNKL23 (as with several other stores in my region - Malaysia), priced at around USD100. It's a beautiful watch but the bracelet was trash at the highest level. Replaced it to a top grain leather strap out of the box. Also, the tiny, recessed crown is a pain to fiddle with. Other than that, it does look like a million bucks on wrist.
@TopTierTicker 6 ай бұрын
It does seem to be having a lifespan that's wayyyyy too long, but the 7s26 movement is definitely discontinued (the one inside the SNKL23). So they may still be producing small runs of this watch, but it's production has to come to an end very soon, because the movement inside of it is not longer being made But yeah, it looks killer on a leather strap! Just avoid knocks and getting it wet 😂

The Orient Make 40 has a manufacturing defect on the dial. You can see it in the second markers around the 5 o'clock index. They are off. It is the same on ALL of them, including the ones in this video. Plus, it is a dive watch WITH NO LUME PIP. What's that all about?

The Junzen requires a warning - none of the three strap choices fits a wrist larger than 7.28". That's a quarter-inch smaller than my average wrist. Obviously, this watch is not intended for the Western market. How short-sighted.
@TopTierTicker 6 ай бұрын
A lot of Asian brands do that. Even Vario (who have a large western market) ship with smaller straps. My guess is the biggest customer base is smaller wristed enthusiasts, so the smaller strap makes sense. Having a long strap on a watch when you have a small wrist is super annoying, you can see the spare strap when reading the time. And it's easy enough to swap out a strap. If this was a bracelet, and they shipped with a limited amount of links, I'd understand. The strap though, forgiven.
