*Lug width on this watch is 19 mm not 20 mm 😮

Hi @Watchify! What tax have you paid for buying from this website? I ask as I see it's in Japan. Thanks!

@@kalayanis Honestly not sure. When I look at invoice online I can't tell. Only things itemized were the cost of watch and DHL shipping 🤷‍♂

Beautiful watch. The sports watch specs make it a versatile timepiece. I have the green dial version myself. The only negatives I can think of are the 19mm lug width and the modern prospex logo on the vintage dial.

I have this watch, it's amazing...except for the clasp. Worst clasp I've seen on any watch period. You didn't mention the humongous gap between the clasp and the bracelet which is horrible to look at and gives the watch a cheap, unfinished look. It's the biggest reason not to buy one of these, that and the 19mm lug width.

I bought this popular video watch from NKUWAN , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $380! It's really suitable to pick up feces!

Nice review good sir. Just ordered this exact watch as I’ve been wearing the the same TAG for last 32 years.

I have to have one which do you think the better one against SEIKO SPB 167 sir thanks ❤😊

@watchify1775 Жыл бұрын

SPB167 costs about 300$ more I think. Overall it comes across as a dressier watch. However I like this blue Alpinist better.

The camera makes that watch look way bigger than it does in person lol.

A very nice watch. The only thing that bugs me a bit is that very noticeable gap between the lug and the bracelet where you can see the spring bar. I know the watch was made to a certain price point, but I still feel that the manufacturing tolerances could've been much tighter there.

@thomasjarmstrong Жыл бұрын

That space doesn't bother me. You have to have an area to depress the spring bar if you want to remove bracelet. This case does not have any drilled lug holes

@Danlikescheesteaks Жыл бұрын

@@thomasjarmstrong I mean how you can see it from the top. There is a very slight gap, like the bracelet isn’t a perfect fit between the lugs. It’s something I would expect on a watch around $150, but for over $500 I feel that there should be no gaps there

Because of the high polishing and domed crystal this watch is very reflective. Too shiny to be a tool watch, bad visibility in the sun for quick time reading.

@watchify1775 Жыл бұрын

I find that to be a problem with many of my other sapphire crystal watches. Not so much with Hardlex.

Do you think the spb121 would be better for quick time reading? Teddy baldassare said the flat sapphire of the 121 was better but it’s still sapphire

I just received my spb 249 is that the US model does it different from the Japan model number

I don't mind paying the extra money for an authentic Seiko watch versus a copy that you might get for lesser money

@@reygomez323 Just pointing out that the one from Sakura is definitely not a copy. They are a legit dealer. Not the same as buying from Ali-Express

@FancyBucket Жыл бұрын

I just received my SBDC159 from Sakura literally an hour ago and they are really legit. The price difference is simply because the USD is strong right now compared to the Yen so you pay less and it's authentic.

@@tt-tk9076 Honestly I'm blown away by the dial. The more I look at it, the more I find it beautiful and the size is perfect for an average/smaller wrist. Really happy with the watch as this is my first "real watch" after looking at videos and review or watches for a year. Also, I saved $500 CAD buying it on Sakura so I'm even more happy!
