This watch is amazing. Bought it just over a year ago and it has the highest rotation in collection. Absolute strap monster!!! Works on a nato, bracelet or leather strap. Perfect watch

Looks good. While I appreciate the trend of watches getting smaller, I think this watch really benefits from the larger size to make the hour and minute indices bigger and more legible than the previous model.

SNK was my first automatic watch and a good gateway into it. Was not expensive and liked the smaller size as I was getting use to wearing a watch again.

@azmatsingh8666 Жыл бұрын

Got the same model a few months ago. Allz nearly perfect except a few , though the hands and dots luminate brightly at night, yet if the triangular pointer at 12 position too was made luminous, it would have been convenient to make it a reference point for time positions at night. Also at certain angles the glass becomes opaque, fitting a sapphire would have enhanced the product.

@valengreymoon5623 Жыл бұрын

I think the case should be bead-blasted like the original 809, and the 12 o' clock triangle needs to be lumed. Though maybe a comparison video with this and the Orient Flight V2 could be in the cards.

Very good review. My 55-year old eyes find this dial (SRPH23) difficult to read. (I wish I had gotten the SRPH25 instead.). It seems the numbers are silver instead of white. Overall I really like the aesthetic of this watch. I agree a sapphire crystal would make this much more of a bargain.

@shiraz1736 8 ай бұрын

A red point on the seconds hand would have broken up that dial a bit more.

@yusufbest4475 Жыл бұрын

Sure the size suits the pilot watch style.. but the snk809 was special.. the only upgrading it needed was the movement and the crystal.. otherwise, it was already perfect..

Hello, nice review on the new SRPH. I have a question on the SNK that you showed at the 30 second mark. I really like that polish finish. The pictures I've seen on the various online retailers website showed those SNK to have brushed finish. Are those just poor quality pictures? or is your SNK a particular special model? Thanks.

@EscapementWatch Жыл бұрын

Different colorways have different finishing some have a bead blasted look and some have a full patina look depending on the color of the dial

I own the white snk from the last generation that I bought the last year, and I'm regretting not waiting for this because of the size, 37mm is too small for me and this would be far better. However, for the price of this new mode... meh, you can add another 70$ and you get a Laco flieger. Now, the Seiko 5 SNGZ model is gorgeous

@thenexthobby Жыл бұрын

The size is fine for a Type B, and yes overall it's an upgrade, but this won't "bring people into the hobby" in the way the 809 did. The 809 was bead-blasted when everything else wasn't, and could be had for well under a $100 for a long time. So the 809 did 2 things, additionally opening up the modding universe for non-SKS watches. So when I see it next to that Laco, I really just want the Laco instead for its cleaner and classic design. Or one of any zillions of clones out there for much less. If want something busier, I want the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day-Date at 3 times the price.

@mariog7213 Жыл бұрын

The 809 retailed at 195. You could get them at huge discounts years after it’s release. This one just came out so give it enough time and then we’ll see. As of now it’s only 80 bucks more expensive twenty years after the release of the 809 so not much after adjusting for inflation

Pretty nice looking Seiko flieger and I love the size. I just picked up a 38 mm khaki field auto on bracelet for $495 from an AD. It’s running -3 fresh out the box and it’s super comfortable. I love Seiko, but considering how inaccurate the more affordable Seiko movements are, the Hamilton was the clear field watch choice for me.

If you'd owned an SNK809, this is straight up a more expensive downgrade. Larger and thicker making it look disproportionately chunky for the design, with an inferior print on the dial. The only thing it has going for it is an arguably better bracelet in some eyes. Damn, my condolences.
