I was sceptical at first but popped into a local dealer who ordered it in for me to look at with no deposit or obligation to buy. I knew within 60 seconds I wasn't leaving the shop without it. Not only is it a great looking thing, but from a collectors point of view, it is a significantly important piece, being Seikos first ever budget automatic GMT. Definitely a future desirable classic.

Clasp from the SPB071 or the SBDC039 might fit. That's provided both bracelet to clasp ends are normal and not the screwy design on the one end. If it is the screwy end on the one side; that final link can be removed and replaced with the same end link like on the other side. Hmm 🤔. Since I have spare Jubi bracelets; think I'm gonna put the original back on my 009 & make the appropriate mod.

I bought one of these and recieved it seveal days ago. Bought it at Long Island Watch and Marc was fantastic as always. I've made several purchases from him and it's always been a positive experience or better. So the watch......Negatives (how negative is personal preference)....No screw down crown. Hardlex rather than sapphire. No lume on bezel. Stamped clasp. Thats about it. For me the biggest problem is the stamped clasp. It takes an otherwise winner and just adds a cheap feel to it. That said, I'm going to either replace the whole bracelet or at least the clasp. The bracelet itself is really decent. The stamped clasp is the problem for me. Don't get me wrong....it's not that it's horrible. It's actually that the rest of the watch is good enough that it deserves better. Positives.....EVERYTHING else. Had Seiko gone with sapphire, a milled clasp, screw down crown and lume on the bezel and charged $750, they would have sold every single one they made. That said they probably still will. Mine is a keeper.

@Chrissepisje 2 жыл бұрын

Out of curiosity, did you ever have a stamped clasp break on you? People complain a lot about that, but for decades not only Seiko but certainly also Rolex had cheap looking stamped clasps, and I've never seen one break at the clasp. If anything happens to the bracelet, it tends to be the spring bar popping out, in my experience.

@johnmoyer9719 2 жыл бұрын

@@Chrissepisje I've had one fail at the hinge but it's not so much being concerned about failure as it is on a $500 watch I'd like to see it machined. Hell even if they'd up the price a bit. I agree completely with you and Rolex being stamped at one point but given today's mass milling/machining capabilities (compared to back when even companies like Rolex used stamped),it's a nice enough watch I'd like to see it milled.

Why is this not a “true” GMT? It tracks at least two time zones with an adjustable 24hr hand, correct? That makes it “true” to my estimates. I think we should stop using the word “true” as a synonym for traveler’s GMT. This Seiko is simply a caller’s GMT.

@kychoi2653 Жыл бұрын

At the second position of the crown, the hour/minutes hands can not be rotated without the rotation of GMT hand. It is a big mistake for GMT watch. Or at the first position of the crown, hour/minutes hands should be rotated instead of GMT hand like Rolex II.

@joshuamelara1495 Жыл бұрын

@@kychoi2653 there is no mistake in a caller GMT. Those movements were designed and engineered with intention. My point is that both configurations are capable of keeping track of at least two time zones and should thusly both be “true.”

@@joshuamelara1495 "caller's GMT" can be easily achieved by the bezel rotation. and so-called "caller's GMT" is only for the watch which has no bezel rotation function, so To the watch with bezel rotation function, "caller's GMT" hands rotations setting is very very idiot and foolish. Hands rotations should be "traveler's GMT" setting, if they have bezel rotation function.

@joshuamelara1495 Жыл бұрын

@@kychoi2653 your last comment is hard to follow, but it seems like you still believe there is a mistake in a caller GMT. I ask you to ponder this: when Seiko set out to make this new movement, do you think their intention was to make a traveler GMT and failed and somehow that mistake ended up as a caller? Or do you think it is more likely that they set out to manufacture this movement with intention and succeeded? I’m not arguing that one is easier to manufacture than the other, I’m simply saying that both are GMT movements capable of virtually the same functions and therefore the term “true GMT” that gets thrown around is nonsensical. They are both “true” and one is not “truer” than the other.

Nice review, good photography. I get that this is a GMT and not a dive watch but the 100 m water resistance and the non-screwdown crown render this particular watch's water resistance useless. Many reviews fail to mention 100m of water resistance DOES NOT mean your watch can be used for swimming - in a pool, in a river or at the beach. Even 200m does NOT guarantee this. It can and might be able to withstand a five-minute swim and you may get away with it several times - but only a 200m ISO certified watch, such as a Seiko PADI or Citizen Promaster dive watch, guarantees true water resistance while swimming and diving. Hamilton and Certina produce watches with 300m of water resistance, stated on both the dial and the caseback but they are not ISO certified and prone to compromise - if you notice a tiny water droplet on the inside of the dial do not place the watch in the sun or under a light - take it directly to a watch repair shop who will remove the sapphire crystal to deal with the humidity in the watch and make sure it dries thoroughly.

@ivanmejia6843 Жыл бұрын

You said it yourself, this is not a dive watch. Plenty of options from Orient/Seiko/Citizen for diving. That said, 100WR from a powerhouse such as Seiko is more than enough for swimming. The push-pull crown on this one is pretty sturdy, takes a lot of effort to pull it out. Seiko usually are conservative with their numbers, they perform much better. Lots of people swim with their SNK809 which has 30m WR.

The caliber 4R34 is adjusted at the factory to keep the time between +45 / -35 seconds per day, this is an insult and that's the main issue with below $2,000 watches. The 6R35 is slightly better than this one, so I'll keep my G-Shocks and other quartz watches for the EDC "economic" solution (below $2,000) and save for a high-end COSC/META wristwatch.

From my experience, I've never had one worse than +15 a day on the 4R36s. But I agree,30 or 45 seconds a day would be too much for me to keep a watch. I think they claim those numbers just to be safe. In reality I've never heard someone say that their watches were at those numbers. But I totally disagree when you say that's the main issue under 2k. I have two watches with the Powermatic 80, one in a PRX, another on a Certina DS Action Diver 38mm and one is at +2, the other at -4. You don't need no spend 2k to get an accurate movement at all.

There is dust on the second hand. It's unnerving...

Because the watch is not worth $500.00.. This watch is not an exclusive watch. This will drop to $395.00 to $350.00 by the end of the year. A SKX withou a GMT hand was about $200.00.

Uh, a gmt hand adds a bunch of complexity to the movement. What other automatic gmt's are out there in this price range?

@bryanguest2807 Жыл бұрын

@@nunyabusiness9056 not necessarily since the movement originally had a day feature next to the date, they simply converted it to an hour hand. You are correct though there really isnt any competition at this price range other than chinese brands

Jubilee is solid steel though. SKX was hollow.

I already bought mine for $350 new. Please show me an automatic watch with a GMT complication that competes with it

Let's be honest - it's a fashion watch masquerading as a tool watch. Et tu, Seiko?

You contradict yourself. At the start you say it is a traveller's GMT. Later you say it is an office GMT.

It's too bad really. They have the resources to make watches that people actually want, but instead keep grinding out the same quality issue pieces with movements they make no effort to cut down in size or make more accurate...they just 'skin suit' their quality issues in old tech and put all their effort into a watch line nobody can really afford, and if they can afford then they go for Swiss watches. There is no elevation from their innovations. Their Presage line, supposed to be a mid-tier...still as thick as a brick with a questionably designed case shape that has an identity issue...which makes it over-priced. They've abandoned their designs which were promising and still have a lot of fans, in order to make tiered down 'have this instead' knock offs. Seiko doesn't deserve your money unti they get their head on straight. Save...get an Omega, Tudor etc.
