This Seiko Watch is stunning and out of all the Seiko watches I have owned, this is the one I have worn the most. Why? Because it fits perfectly and is GORGEOUS! The SJE073 is a Seiko Watch no one will regret buying.

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 KZfaqs 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 KZfaq 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.

dont stop the clock. I love watching the stop to go as it hits the mark. we all know you aren't filming this in one go

Nooooo! - The stop to go is one of the reasons why I watch your videos!! Turn it back on……….. Please

I’ve had the SJE013/SARA015 for almost a year and I absolutely love it. I took it to my local Grand Seiko AD and compared it to the GS and it’s just as good and much thinner than most or all of the Grand Seiko I looked at. Love it. #1 stunna. Keeping it forever. Love that you brought this out of the vault. If anyone is thinking about getting this watch, I encourage you to go get it. It’s so beautiful!

I never noticed different time on clock caused by editing, but I immediately noticed it stoped. Just when I wanted to ask what happened you explained 😂

@jeffusrangerairborne9061 Ай бұрын

I have that Watch as Well. But did You Know that the Movement can only be Removed from the Top? It's a Top Loader. The Rear Caseback is Accessible only for Regulating the Movement. ALSO, that Watch was Made to Showcase/ Introduce that 6L35 Movement which was New at That time, so it's a Pretty Unique and Special Watch Indeed. Time will tell How much it will be Appreciated.

@ConradAquilina Ай бұрын

The microphone change makes sense. The clock being stopped though. Are you happy with a stopped clock Gary? It's not like the audience doesn't already know there are video edits! The fact that this clock has the wait and go feature also means you don't get to see it yourself! Why not home the clock inside the house, and in its place put a framed picture of a clock set at 10:10? 😁 You could take a photo of this one and frame it :) This is a gorgeous piece and if you think about it, relatively super affordable. Pity it's a limited edition.

The more you wear Seiko, the longer you own it, the more you respect its quality. All Seikos just work regardless of price range. Got mine a cheap Seiko chrono, a dark dial with orange hands with steel bracelet for US$ 150, 10-15 years ago. Still one of my most trusted watches (among 15 other watches) today. Not a single scratch on the glass, still accurate, going wet occasionally when I travel, realiable bracelet although it's a bit wobbly now. I can only wonder what they do with their top tier Seikos if a lower-range one is already this good. Superb watches.

Beautiful watch! Never seen Seiko hugging the wrist so well. Even to the untrained eye, this Presage looks every bit the 3x the price compared to an average Presage Cocktail time or any other Presage from the 700$ range. It is a lot more "entry" GS than Presage.

Picked up the last, now discontinued sharp-edge a few weeks ago. Hasn't left my wrist since. Seiko really are great, just a shame they continue replacing watches in their line-up without taking over every dial-color. There is a new Sharp-Edge with the hemp-dial pattern, but it didn't have the red fume i was looking for...

@JoaquinIsaiahNg Ай бұрын

On the SARX, I think the second hand is chemically blued, the dial text is all black, only the 12 o'clock marker is doubled, and no zaratsu polishing. Still, very similar dials though.

@GEMSofGOD_com Ай бұрын

I sort of disagreed with T Mosso when he said that Grand Seiko is "of higher level" than this specific Seiko. In my opinion, this Seiko feels better than over 98% of Grand Seiko watches. What specifically makes it worse? I believe that what really matters is the top per cent, and in that range, there may not be a clear distinction of quality. The difference might be more related to design, with Seiko having a more mass-produced look rather than a luxury feel. However, this difference is more about proportions and other factors rather than the overall quality.
