Put me in the ‘love it, but not the price’ camp.

I wish Seiko would stop using the Prospex logo on everything, actually.

Looks amazing, love the size and details. But I've had terrible experiences with 6R movements, which cannot be judged out of the box. Still this would be tempting if not for the price. Great video, love the channel.

I don't post on this channel so much, but I have to say...that watch is GORGEOUS!!!! Oh my, I'm moved by this beauty! It's now on my To Buy list. Thanks for the review, Russ!

For that price I think it should have included the 6R64 (the true GMT version of the 6R54).

Yep, everyone loves a mug. Especially Seiko!

I tried this on yesterday, I gotta say, Seiko nailed it with this one!

nice looking watch but £1,500???. way better things out there for that price or a lot less. don't think there will be a big rush to get one. great review as ever

Really enjoyed watching your enthusiasm for this particular model. One could even tell how much you loved reviewing it. Too bad they came up with that unreasonable price tag though.

I've been waiting decades to buy this again. BUT.. the price is twice what it needs to be.

I love reissues from the .. old days ( when I was a kid) That’s a beautiful watch! I want it despite my huge sausage fingers!!

I have to admit, I really do like this watch. The retro design with the brushed articulated bracelet and that grey dial, Seiko really have hit it out of the park with this one.

It’s mad that they have priced it so high . Dealers will be getting it at less than half of the retail trust me. 19mm was very popular with Seiko back in the 70s, even the original Willard 6105-8110 was 19mm. I’m pleased they kept it because to make it 20 you would have to increase the whole case size. Seiko did make another watch like this without the GMT but I forget the reference. I walked away from one recently at a watch fair for £80 and now regret it badly!! Since the sport 5 video I have one now from First Class watches which I’m really pleased with.

It is one of the nicest Seikos around, however, I would never pay £1500 for a Seiko.

You so deserve your accolades russ , you give us excellent content with laughts galore. Cheers russ..100 k ( so cool).

Congratulations on your 100k milestone! Cheers!

I was sooo close, I was guessing $1,700.00 with the exchange rate I was close. That bracelet and the face dial, just perfect.

What a beauty! Gives me a Doxa vibe. But you are right - price is the issue (for me). If I was a Seiko fanatic I would be all over this. And the limited edition makes the price a little less dear ... Sigh ... I will have to stare at it a bit longer. 😊. Thanks for the quick show on this one. You got this out during the pre-order phase.

pretty sweet. I would love to see another dial color

Seiko are pricing themselves right out of their traditional market.

At £500 maybe, but £1500?? I'd rather get Oris, Longines, Christopher Ward, B&M, FC, you have so many options!

Congrats on the 100k! MWC friction bezel face! Gimme one as well. Lume pips look like the 3 o’clock pip on my SJE, so cool. Wow, the wife likes it!!! Proper Seikonerd here.

Yeh, I like it. And I want one. Very “Seikoik” look, which is brilliant.

This watch was one of my grail watches. I managed to find a NoS example back in 21. The bracelet was a little tight on my wrist so I swapped the original folding clasp for a generic one off ebay which was about 5mm longer. I must say the watch also looks great on a black Geckota Handmade Premium Italian Leather strap. Because of the design of the watch there is no unsightly gap between the strap and the case. The Geckota rally straps are fantastic straps as well.

Absolute Bobby Belter. Looks the bee’s knees. They do reissues VERY well.

That's a nice watch. The color and sunburst effect on the watch are next level awesome. The price? Meh. I won't get it. But I fully support any Seiko fan who does. I don't think they'll regret it.

Another mega show MWC! This is a really well done reissue from Seiko but I think that price is a bit too high for anyone but the most die hard Seiko enthusiasts to consider. I think the Alpinist GMT still sits atop the pile of Seiko releases in 2023 but this is a very nice reissue for sure!

MWC, great watch and review. I just think you missed the section house of pagani, because the caseback is completely a throe back to the quintessential ones from back in the 60's and early 70's. Shame that it's so high priced.

You got me when you pointed out that there was no prospex logo!

I can't say I'm a big fan of the looks of this one. Just personal preference. Seems like a nicely made watch though.

Great review and lovely looking watch👍. As you have already said the price maybe be an issue for many me included. It does make me wonder that if Seiko does reissue the Pogue, what price point will they place that at? This or a more reasonable price range like the SRPK17K1? I fear the former 🙄.

£1500 for a -15/+25 a day movement… they are trippin’ balls

“How bloody much !” 😮

I'm with you on this one brother! Seiko knocked this one out of the park. Should be a true GMT though at that price.

You are correct, this is a thing of beauty, and it's dressy too

Congrats on 100k subs!

Everyone complaining about the price. 1499 GBP is the new 899 GBP. Deal with it!

- Love that they used a solid case back but would have expected it to be a bit thinner. Looks well made though

Broham! 100k! Congrats!!!

If this is £1500, how much is the Pogue reissue going to be?!

Now we need the wife's reaction to the price!!

1/3 of the price and it would be bordering on catnip status.

It's a nice watch but £1500 really gets it up there in terms of competition.

Pure class. Stunning. Price is a bit steep, but I'm sure this will sell very well.

Bracelet is SO nice. Its like an elevated casio bracelet with good materials and finishing.

100.000! So very deserved, mate! WOOHOO!

Afternoon Russell, I am so amazed you are reviewing this watch. I have been looking at a Black Bay Pro or something very similar, all stainless inc bezel. So I've been looking at alternives Googling away and this came up and I just loved it. It has everything that historical nod, great strap, dims are good and the case shape and dial colour are fabulous. So I am pleased you’ve handled it and positively reviewed it. That friction only bezel I wouldn't have known that, do you think it will move about with general wear? I think youve just cost me 1500 quid.

I don't mid the prospex logo but seiko needs to learn that only ones gets to get the big font. If your going to put seiko in big letters on the dial everything prospex needs to be shrunken down to relatively the same size font as the WR rating.

The price is absurd when you can get a lightly used Grand Seiko SBGN003 that pays its own respect to the Navigator Timer for not much more.

I wish they would’ve followed what they did with the SSK and put 24 markers on the inside as well. But they were probably sticking to the original design.

The boxed sapphire pumped the price. But you know it’s a turtle case and i will going to absolutely love it so why not.

Hilarious price Seiko well done !, and to think some mugs will actually go for it!

Congrats on 100k Russ!

This one is a fantastic watch! I have a King Samurai Shu-Iro, and the only thing that I don't like about it is the Prospex "X" on the dial. This dial is just perfect. Unfortunately I think I won't get a green light from my wife. I bought a lots of watches in this year from the moonwatch to the Casio A-53W 😂😅🙈

Was on board credit card at the ready until the price! 😮

Thats looks great. I bought a black prospex this year and I wear it most days. Seikos are so good at the moment. Great vid mate

Congratulations for 100000 subscribers ⭐️ Thanks for the great and funny review!!!

I don't think it's a terrible price. It's too much. But it's not like some of em that are 2.5k plus

Congrats on finally hitting 100k subscribers. About time.

100.000! Well done man!!

$1500 for a Taiwan (if ur lucky)movement... You could have a Squale 39(Swiss) for $1200!

My 1969 Omega Seamaster 120 has a 19mm strap. I became rather adept at trimming 20mm straps to fit with a razor blade. 20mm NATO straps would often be fine without modification.

Not limited enough for that pricepoint.

Might have to review the marinemaster 200 gmt Russ

"1,500"! Ya. That's a truckload of cheddar!

Congrats on reaching 100K subs and producing such entertaining videos! 🎉🏆

I like Seiko watches because they're pretty affordable, but I don't think I could drop 1500 on one

I've got the 1972 Seiko NaviTimer GMT. Awesome!

Looks like the chapter ring is turned slightly to the right and even from your shots markers have plenty of imperfections or dust on them. Good old Seiko and their lack of QC. I like the design though.

Seiko nailing it again here. Currently loving my new Seiko spb239 62mas, awesome watch. Time to do some more overtime Lol.

Crys about 19mm strap width but cam EASILY fit 20mm staps on it with ease. Only problem with 19mm is when comes to bracelets

this one caught my eye as well upon release - love that silver dial and cushion case!

A beautiful watch indeed. But I wonder how much in today's money would the original have been?

As I've posted before elsewhere, in references familiar to every Seikopath, S(eiko's)P(ricing)B(lows) and S(eiko)B(oys)D(on't)C(are).

Beautiful dial! Not too sure about the 19mm bracelet, what were they thinking? And that tiny crown? Beyond that, it a beauty! I just got a Bruce Lee limited to 15000 lol hardley limited. Great vid my friend!

Love your channel, thank you so much for your content, best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺

I also love it, but before you even revealed the price, as soon as you said 'limited and 6R', I said, "well its going to be at least $1,200" Which at least for me I just cannot reconcile for this. I love it, but just not $1,500 worth of love. All Seikos end up on the secondary market after a bit so I think I will wait for that.

James Bond- " How much is it?" Q- "One thousabd fuve hundred pounds." James Bond- "You must be joking?"

🎉Congratulations on 100K subs!🎉

Absolutely love this watch... but you're spot on, the price is too high. $1000ish and maybe, but not $1500.

This is a great release. Well-done, Seiko!

You have the best site for watches…keep up the good work🙏

It's a good looking watch but I think the 5 Sports is pipping it at the post, it's just more vintage,looking. The one release that will absolutely blow the retro market apart, would be a Pogue. It would absolutely smash everything out of the way. Come on Seiko, you know you're going to do it some time.

100k well done mad

3:15 19mm and case back art that is pure 1968 a time traveller could pass this of easily 3:15

Thank you! But I stay with my Sports 5 limited 55th.

Yep, love it. Great dial color. Price? Not so much.

It's too expensive, the lug width should be 20mm (it was on the original) and they re issued the wrong navigator. They should have done the one with the internal Pepsi Bezel.

Lovely watch but for that price I’d want a traveller GMT with the jumping hour hand.

MWC: the bezel is really smooth.. Me: hmmm. MWC .. like the volume knob of a 90s stereo. Me: Ah.

Will still be available in 2 years time at that price

Wish Alpinist was a product line. Prospex should be divers.

Music to my ears 👍

Are they taking the mick ?

Can you make a video for the best g shock for doctors (emergency)....couldnt find one for myself

I bought the original version from 1969 for $900 usd a few years ago. It reminds me of when Accutron reissued the Astronaut. I bought one from 1962 for about a 1/3 the price of the new one!

Seiko prices are out of control , we need to boycott them asap lol .

It’s quite difficult to tell time with that color.

great video Russ! I inherited a 1970 Navigator Timer GMT (pepsi) from my Grandfather when he passed, so this is a really cool release to me! May have to pick one up :)

£1500 for this or £350 for the Seiko 5 Sports anniversary edition. I would hope this is a LOT better !
