As a Grand Seiko owner: People, buy the watch you like and love. Not because there is a well know name on it! Who cares if the Brand is Seiko, Grand Seiko, Omega or Rolex. You have to enjoy it everyday so chose wisely.

Seiko saw the Rolex Batman and thought, "How can I make this better?" This just entered my shortlist of must get watches.

Who needs a Rolex when you got a work of art like this Seiko.

To earn your living selling watches and still be excited indeed joyous to own a beautiful watch no matter the prefix to the name is not grand, is the mark of a man who loves his what he does. For those of us who watch from the sides it too is a beautiful thing. Long may you ware it and long may you enjoy it.

WOW!!! That is absolutely beautiful!! You are fortunate to have such a watch. Thanks for the video!!!

I like how he is excited about the watch like one of us would be!👍🏽

I love the spring drive so much. That seconds hand movement is devine. The SNR027 is one of my grails.

I felt the same way yesterday when I received my first SQUALE!!. I got it from Island Watch. So Happy!!!

Man, that’s a beauty. Congrats Mark, just amazing.

Congratulations!!! Such a amazing opportunity to own on of these. I’m sure you will be enjoying this one for many many years!

That gradient dial! Glad to see you got it after seeing you talking about it.

Congratulations, Marc! Absolutely a stunning piece. Wear it in the best of health!

Very cool Marc! It’s great to see you got a Spring Drive since you were so enthusiastic about it in your video with TGV. Congrats!

04:18 It's like the seconds hand is surfing! Great purchase Marc! :)

W-O-W! Very well thought out and executed timepiece! *Big* but so incredibly useful/functional and beautifully done - and with a great story, too!

Wow...that really is beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.

This is so beautiful. Absolutely love that dial. Belated congrats to you! It's a beauty.

congratulations on the new Spring Drive! I watched TGV's video where you made reference to this watch and it's awesome to see you add it to the collection. That dial truly is a winner on its own.

Beautiful, I would of thought it would of been a 200M water resistant. I know it's not a Diver, but has a little of the Diver look. Love it, stunning watch. Love the Spring Drive tech, nothing else like it. Spring drive is what makes a Seiko special.

...and there is a new watch to save up for .... Thanks by the way for your videos, always interesting, full of knowledge, always nice and you are really contributing to the watch community.

Just got mine. Blown away. Just about getting over the Prospex logo! Wears so well and complements my Snowflake. Love the Spring Drive.

The story you said about the dial design (looking at the earth from the side, in orbit): I had the same thought before you even said the story. That just shows the design really works! Amazing watch.

Amazing, terrific watch. I'm a huge fan of seiko and this is just great.

Absolutely gorgeous watch, I love the fact that the beast of a watch is run by such a precision movement

I know this vid is 14 months old, but GHAD i LOVE this watch. GORGEOUS.

Its really nice, my personal favourite spring drive is the Landmaster gmt titanium. I love the look of it and the way the crown is at 12 .

My goodness I'm envious. What a superb piece - congratulations Marc, I hope it give you years of pleasure.

I need a spring drive in my collection. Keep up the good work.

I love that you really appear excited about this new watch. Congratulations!

That gliding seconds hand is addictive!!! Beautiful dial...nice snag, Marc!

You'll love the spring drive movement. I have 2 of them...both are +5 seconds/month. Beautiful watch.

Congrats! That's a beautiful watch. A Spring Drive is on my list of watches to own too.

I have the SNR033 which is very similar and I love it!!! It has become my daily wearer and my favorite watch. Thanks for sharing. ✌🏻

Wow that nice! I could definatly see that as a 1 watch collection watch. Congrats.👍

That spring drive, wow! What a great explanation! Great pickup, and use in good health!

Fantastic Seiko. Spring Drive is the best!

Congratulations on your first spring drive! You made an excellent purchase! One day I will get a seiko spring drive.

Congratulations Mark! Wear it in good health. So beautiful!

Awesome watch, Marc! Thanks for sharing. Love the smooth sweep. Of course a blue dial! Enjoy.

Man that's a gorgeous watch Marc! Perfection! Wear it in good health!

Congrats on the Seiko Spring Drive, Marc. It’s beautiful.

So lucky and I'm so jealous! I love Seiko Spring Drives. Good luck with it Marc!

Lucky Strike! That's one fantastic watch! I haven't seen you wear it recently I must say ... Nov 2021. I'm with you; regardless if you can get a GS for that price, this one seems more wearable IMO and I wouldn't cringe if ever it took a beating. It looks like it can take it. Thanks for sharing this great acquisition. Hope this is still part of your "roster" of watches and it's serving you well.

Each time Seiko has released a watch that seemed worth buying the last few years, it is a limited edition 🤦‍♂️

Beautiful watch, Mark. Congratulations on the acquisition!

Super cool you were able to get one, congrats!

Congrats Mark!!! Got my eye on an ISL-53, sweeeet specs for 200$, love what you're doing.

Excited for your first Spring drive, I was lucky enough to get one myself. Like most I thought the snowflake would be my first. But like the snowflake this dial is another example of Seiko's mastery of making some of the best looking dials

Very sweet. As a collector who mostly focuses on space-themed watches, I'm very happy to see the coveted Spring Drive in a package I can justify as a kinda spacey grail. Thanks for sharing it!

Looks awe inspiring, wear it in good health! Congratulations

WOW, that dial, so you! Really beautiful dial/watch

Congratulations Mark. In fact a Spring Drive movement, has been always like a Holy Grail to me. Since I was teenage and since first fascination of watches came, I was obsessed by idea of combining a mechanical movements beauty and accuracy of quartz technology. The only one remark, when talking about technicalities... (4:46) I wouldn't say "...generator generates electricity makes the hands move..." The generator makes only enough energy to power an electric circuit ( including quartz oscillator ) and to generate electromagnetic force to slow down a glide wheel, which is at the end of gear-train. So - in short words - a main spring provides mechanical energy to move hands and electricity only to power IC which gives a feedback to control a speed of unwind. Congratulations once again. Looking forward to order something from you, to ship here, to Ireland. Pawel

Fantastic watch Marc, so good in fact that I have purchased one for myself, incredibly it is number 62 which is my birth year. I have a Grand Seiko Quartz GMT..fit and finish is without a doubt at the same level. Even though your video is great ..the actual watch looks even better in the flesh, hard to describe it really..the colour chage on the bezel is just mesmerizing and puts the Rolex bezel to shame, especially as its lumed... thanks for the vide that influenced my decision..so lucky to bag one as not many left.

Just Amazing, congratulations my friend, enjoy that master piece.

Just Gorgeous! Love that sweeping second hand!

Congratulations Marc. Wear it in good health.

Congratulations Marc, well done!

Very cool watch. I got myself the SNR043 earlier this year, so I have a soft spot for these Prospex Spring Drive watches. Enjoy it.

Glad to see you ended up getting it! Beautiful choice!

Amazing watch. Congratulations Marc!

Nice Marc….congrats. Enjoy that beautiful watch.

Great looking watch!! Love that dial colour and the bezel looks great too. Such a smooth sweep of that seconds hand with the spring drive. Gratz on the purchase dude. 👍

This is a beautiful watch. Congrats on the purchase.

Sweet piece Marc...THANKS for sharing 🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations on your purchase. You’re giddy like a new father.

That is a beauty! Seriously covering it here. Enjoy it Marc!

I like the watch and the excitement in your voice.

Congrats Marc !! A beautiful watch

Congrats on your new Spring drive. It is an awesome watch. I have always one eye on your IW watches and always waiting for some Titanium action in your brand. All your products have amazing value and look just great. There is only one thing... it is the logo on the watch which throws me off balance one hand showing between 4-5. And hey... maybe it is only me, but if more people feel this way, try to consider the change "IW" looks already great. (San Martin finally did it and it looks awesome with 3D hectagon). Again thank you and I am sure that one day I will have one of yours in my collection. Best wishes Mark.

Love it Marc! I have a MM600 (sbdb011) which is also spring drive. Nothing beats the accuracy. Im currently getting about 2 seconds a MONTH. Enjoy that seconds sweep. It never gets old.

Awesome watch, wear it in great health. I think the value is definitely there in the material, finish, movement, and design.

Mark great watch enjoy it my friend!!! I hope they will make this model in a 42. But you will love that spring drive.

Congratulations on that beautiful score! 🙏🏼

I just picked mine up yesterday, I'm in love

The tech behind this watch is super elegant, rolex can't touch dis.

This is just drop dead gorgeous

A beautiful piece. I'd love to get one. I'd like to see the same concept in a brushed titanium divers watch. If not, I'd take the one you reviewed as a close second.

The fact that it is a true gmt movement makes all the difference in the world to me. I would own many more gmt’s if it was common to have this feature. Sadly it is not. Congrats on the big purchase and thank you for sharing with is Marc Can’t wait for Tuesday to see what you have up your sleeve, literally!

Beautiful watch - congratulations!👏👏

What a great watch. Nice to add into the collection

Congrats on the new watch Marc! Your collection watch high has been satisfied lol

Very nice watch Mark, I'm glad for you. Just bought an awesome Squale 1521 from you on Black Friday. Love your content!

MARK!! Thanks so much for sharing your new acquisition! This Prospex variant has been on my radar for some time now (not the limited edition). I'm being tempted by the PVD black SNR035 that it comes with a leather band with a

Beautiful watch, I think this is the most exited I’ve seen you about a watch, (Merry Xmas) I know the feeling, we all do, nothing beats the spring drive, thanks for showing it to us...

Beautiful, Marc! It’s fun to see how much you dig it. Like a kid! Also… I never understood the allure of the non-true-GMT watch. This one is cool.
