Soooo... I bought my first ever Seiko! The Seiko 5 GMT - the £420 LEGEND. Seiko released this Seiko 5 GMT in 2022 with 3 different colour variations. I bought the Seiko 5 GMT "Blueberry" or the blue/black model - giving those Rolex GMT Master II "Batgirl" vibes - but for a much, MUCH more affordable price. This is one of the things that attracted me to this watch: the price. You are getting a LOT of watch for under $500 and you really can't argue with it! It isn't perfect (no watch ever is!) but it is really dang great - especially given the pricepoint. Could not be happier with this purchase!
.... I think.... I might just be a Seiko person now. SEIKO LOVERS - WHAT SHOULD I BUY NEXT?!

Ok guys. Alpinist next?!?! Probably my next favourite Seiko!

@CydeWeys 3 ай бұрын

I have the green Alpinist GMT JDM exclusive SBEJ005. It was a hassle getting a hand on it as several other colorways are available internationally, but I figure if I'm getting an Alpinist it has to be in that iconic green color. Anyway, I love it. The quality level is way higher than a Seiko 5 too.

@glenm2113 3 ай бұрын

Try an original skx 013. 37mm case 44mm lug to lug. Downside is the 7s26 non hand winding movement. Or try the new Seiko5 dive style watches with the same 37mm case with the upgraded 4r36 movement. Or try the mini turtle. A great watch . 42 mm but very compact (44 mm ?) lug to lug.

The old Rolex clasps every young watch collector is so critical about were never an issue. People call them flimsy because they were stamped steel but they are rock solid and I never had a single one fail. I also find them very comfortable. Unfortunately, Rolex succumbed to the complaints that stamped clasps aren’t representative of a luxury brand and they ended when Rolex stopped production of the last true ‘tool’ watch, the 16600.

My wife got me this when I got my first full time flying job as a commercial pilot. Absolutely love it and it will be my work/flight watch for the rest of my career. It's already racked up some adventures in the arctic circle and has been dipped in the arctic ocean! Some con's of course. After a year the friction bezel is pretty much cement locked and wont rotate unless the watch is wet. Mine out of the box runs about 35 seconds fast a day. The hardlex has gotten some good old scratches in it, with one in particular right on the cyclops. A true GMT movement would be more convenient when I fly over time zones. But, I kind of see these as my watch having it's own unique personality. There's a routine of setting it every morning or two, and the scratches already remind me that this watch has traveled far and wide.

Replacing the clasp is cheap and easy. I recently swapped the clasp on my SRPK17 with a Miltat brand locking machined clasp from Amazon for $8 + another $8 for the two 3mm outer diameter by 1mm thick o-rings I needed since the stock bracelet links had 16mm connection on one end and 18mm on the other. For a total of $16 and maybe a minute of work I now have a proper sturdy locking clasp. For more $$ you could also go for a full bracelet replacement from Strapcode, they have many options with end links fitted for the Seiko 5 GMT.

It's funny that it's an unpopular opinion when most who disagree are not in the aviation industry or international jet setters.

I got that watxh the moment it came out. I love things people hate. The hardlex bezel, the non clicking bezel and the lug to lug. The hardlex bezel has this color contrast in different lighting conditions that makes it look nicer than ceramic. The bezel without the clicks has the right amount of friction to not have to worry about it moving and plus I no longer have to worry about misalignment. Only complaint to me is the case thickness. Wish it was below 12.5mm. Other than that its a beautiful timepiece which you can get more along the lines of $350 here in the states.

Everything lines up on mine too, which is always a concern when you unbox a Seiko. I keep mine on a watch winder, so it’s basically a grab-and-go.

I had this watch and agree with you, the frictionless bezel was an issue for me too. I considered modding it to a friction one as I found it easily changed position. I also had a GMT hand that didn't quite align properly which kind of defeated its purpose. It s a great looking watch and very good value for money but ultimately I ended up selling it, due to the GMT hand issue, to someone who could live with it the way it was. Didn't stop me buying other Seiko's and I still think its a great looking watch.
