Big shout out to Matt (and everyone else who has loaned me a watch), I'm going to be struggling to post this one bck on Monday. I know it has some issues, and it isn't exactly cheap, but it looks amazing and it fits me like a glove, so that has to count for somethign, right? Let's see if my inherent tightness allows me to actually buy one! Cheers, Jody

One advantage of wearing the bracelet upside down is to control where the folded metal falls against the bottom of the wrist. Depending on the shape of your wrist, that placement of the fold can pressure a watch head more to one shoulder of the wrist or the other, helping to keep it centered. I've had to do so from time to time.

I sometimes wear bracelets back to front, sometimes you get better centering of the clasp if you do this, you try the bracelet the correct way round and if the clasp is off centre you reverse it to see if it sits any better. You would think if it's off one way reversing it would make it equally off the other way but that's not the case sometimes it will improve the way it fits your wrist.

I've gone to a brick and mortar store, set the Seiko to NIST time, wound it fully, and then come back around 24 hours later to see how much it's drifted. Not as precise as a timegrapher, but I've found that method to be a pretty good predictor of how the movement will drift over the next couple years. All my Seikos slow down over time, so I look for ones that run a bit fast when new.

The only other Seiko I have is my late grandad’s 17 Jewel Seikomatic circa 1970 and that one amazingly still runs like a charm even after it’s been sitting idle for weeks to months at a time. Thanks again, Brian

I highly recommend using the Weishi before buying. I was looking at a beautiful used Rolex Sub (2002) and it was +23. I also looked at a brand new Tudor Pelagos that was +13. I ended up with two other watches (a 2020 Rolex 126610 and a Tudor BB58 Blue both from the AD) and they were both +0 on my Weishi. I look at accuracy as important. which is partly why half my collection is quartz and I use my Casio Solar Atomic watches to set my automatics. For a brand new luxury watch from the AD, I ask the inhouse watchmaker to put it on his timegrapher for me to observe.

I agree because my trust with Seiko's QC was lost long ago. Concerning timing, on another subscription I frequent and respect, I stated a simple question. If a movement is capable of +/- x seconds a day, then why doesn't it perform that way out of the box? Many, myself included, were able to tweak the old well known 7s26 movement down to very good timing especially if you owned a timegrapher. Why is the customer having to unscrew the back and with steady hand make adjustments to get better or even decent accuracy? I realize we're dealing with mass produced lower end movements, but wouldn't be refreshing for that -20 to +30, whatever, to be tightened up quite a bit? I was told cost and the fact most people don't care. I haven't mentioned alignment issues and won't because this horse has been beat to death. I would buy only after eyes and hands on. I enjoy your content. Cheers everyone.

If you consider that an SKX goes for 300 up to 350€ right now in Europe.. 1000€ (price after discount) seems like a reasonable price for this. Bracelet is comparable to strapcode in quality, the Zaratsu polishing is reeeally nice, movement is reliable and a bit better than the old mid-tier seikos like sarbs, and the most important thing is the look of the watch. I find it beautiful in its semplicity and industrial feel. I got it as a gift, I would recommend to buy it at 750€/800$. Excellent watch!

Apparently winding it up a minimum of 55 times helps accuracy BTW. I was winding 25-30 and not getting good accuracy. In fact my 4R-36's all run within COSC from the factory. 6R-35's claim to fame is the 70 hour power reserve, not it's accuracy. I prefer the Supermatic 80 over the 6R.

Yobokies makes the best stainless steel insert for the SKX, nice thin engraving and recessed lume pip, so those who want to recreate this with an SKX, check that insert out.

They've really nailed the dimensions for this one. I'll wait with baited breath for a gilt version.

Great review! I love this watch and the 62maX SPB143.

This looks similar to the Heimdallr SKX007 Marine Master. Although the Seiko has a shiny bezel. Ahhhh spring in North America! 81 degrees Fahrenheit Tuesday, finally!

I have one and absolutely love it! It’s a keeper. I disagree on the Willard. I bought the Blue “Limited Edition” and love it too, BUT ... I was disappointed with the boring oyster bracelet it came on. It’s too meh for a “Limited Edition”!! So I threw on a Strapcode Shark Mesh tapered bracelet. And will eventually get the announced Uncle Seiko Beads of Rice for the Willard that they are currently working on getting out

Jody, we already had a small conversation about the frustrating Willard. it's so funny to see that you're in love with the SPB185 because I'm also thrilled by it. But until now I resisted because of the QC issues and that damn 6R35. Thanks for this great review, Uwe

I'm jealous of your winter in Sydney, its 27C here in Phoenix.... at 9:40am 😐

I suggest you review an SPB14x or 15x diver. They've all got the half brushed half polished hands. Mine was also perfectly aligned for what it's worth. :) The bezel is cracking, the size an improvement, but the interruption of the minute track next to the date is an eyesore.

No dude, you're spot on, that is a nice watch. I view a lot of your videos and, yea man, this piece sparkled my eyes. Thanks for sharing.

OK, for the last time. On the Seiko Prospex series watches which are all ISO certified divers, the logo and indices will never be applied. The indices will be stamped into the back of the dial and the logo will be printed so as to make both of them permanent, never to be dislodged from rough handling or extreme temperatures where adhesive can sometimes fail.

Weishi it for sure, and stick a go pro on those silvery locks so we can have a vid...the retailer should be stoked for the coverage they will get...😁

I'm left handed I have found that some watch bracelets / watches wear better with the clasp flipped around.. it is also slightly easier to operate as a lefty with it reversed (for me) I wear a watch on my right arm.. as I can't stand having a watch on my left getting in the way.. I bought about 2mos again the larger mm200 SPB105J1 Green dial 44mm, I love it very well made the bracelet is ~ok as you say on the older bigger one as well.. I got mine at a local AD and it lines up very well, the AD matched internet pricing anyways.

I just bought a SPD149, and the Steelmaster was the only contender. I am happy I went the way I did, but am sure that I would have been equally happy with the other choice also. I’d offer to lend it to you for review, but you just said you don’t care for the blue dial / black bezel color combo, so...
