Thank you for the informative review, sir! I have done more research over the course of the last month than I care to admit, as I am just now getting into automatic watches. You offered one of the most well produced reviews of this model. I intend to purchase it as my first automatic.

Thank you for the review. I'm recently taking interest in vintage looking watches, dive watches and all. I've been looking around and hardly find one that doesn't break the bank for my first watch. Finally saw this other looking around for a few days. Simply love the clean 1 colour ceramic look, the waffle texture, the magnifier and the slightly rugged polishing. Matches my simple and vintage utilitarian style. What's best is that even a small wrist like mine would look good with this. Amazing! oh and it's the first time I'm learning about Sapphire crystals, went to read up after your review and it makes me want to get it even sooner!

Certainly does look a lot more dressy and smart with the gloss black dial. I think this is what the samurai as well as the king turtle version of the turtle should have been from the beginning. Nice to see the upgrades though.

I like the waffle dial and the cyclops lens. Helps me to read the date. And yes, it will be good if seiko can QC their products.

I am buying a used piece with receipt and box with rubber straps but just expired warranty almost half the market price currently. I can’t resist as it looks brand new and the owner is a watch enthusiast. Thanks for the review. I just bought a sumo hulk and orient kamasu which I both enjoy. I need a black colored to use in formal occasions as the hulk is very catchy and the green burst dial kamasu is my beater together with a smart watch at work. 😂

Just ordered it can’t wait for it so hyped

I have two bezels I swap out on my sammy. One w a black ceramic (like the king), and the Pepsi (also in video).. but I faded out the Pepsi and it looks GOOD! Great video.

I bought the Black Dial.... Very good quality! Gonna match it with a FKM rubber strap. Ceramic bezel? Checked. Sapphire Crystal? Checked. ISO certified? Checked. Hackable? Checked. Manual winding? Checked. Robust movement? Checked. Crown that is easy to operate and good grip? Checked. Waffle dial / Hobnail / AP like? Checked. Manageable lug to lug? Checked. Bright lume? Checked. Date with cyclops? Checked. In-house movement? Checked. Fits 100% well on my 6.5 inch (16.5cm) wrist. Looks bulky but very comfy. It has the upgrades we are asking for: Sapphire crystal and Ceramic bezels. The bezel rotation feel is very solid, no back play. The crown is very easy to grip and operate. 4R35 means i do not need to worry about servicing costs as it is a workhorse movement. This is the only Samurai I would recommend.

I love this review about this seiko. I done the same. And it's a very great watch! Ans for this price so great!

Imagine a well aligned 6R manta ray King Samurai without the cyclops - now I would gladly pay 1000 dollars for that 👍🏻

Nice video, clear and concise. I really like the Samurai but I recently picked up a Citizen BJ7111-51M Titanium for less than half the price making the Seiko difficult to justify. If only Citizen had made the bezel ceramic...

Great video. I have the white dial version of the king samurai and love it. I hate the cyclops though

Nice work Andy! love your videos as it is extremely relevant to local watch enthusiasts. was choosing between the samurai and Orient M force. but eventually decided to go for Orient latest M- Force as it is Japan made and is more unique imo. but this video got me triggered to the King Samurai again. lol. Good job. would you do a review on the latest Orient M-Force please! look forward to your next vid buddy.

日本の良いものを紹介してくれてありがとう。

looking great. I'm surprised that these are priced a little bit lower in SG as compared here in PH, maybe I'll have fun viewing (and hopefully shopping) watches in SG someday soon (after this pandemic). Good review! I currently own a black samurai (srpb51, just bought it a couple of weeks ago) and now, I'm really interested and curious about this king samurai 🤔

Thx for the video 👍 just can't choose between this King samurai and the king turtle

Has anyone seen one on a black rubber Seiko strap?

Great review, but their website doesn’t state that it’s a ceramic bezel, correct me if I’m wrong.

The main reason why they put in a unicolor instead of bicolor is most probably because of the material. It is so difficult to produce bi-colored ceramic bezel. It's either one colored ceramic bezel, or bi-colored stainless steel bezel in this price range. CMIIW

I don't understand why Seiko do not use sapphire crystal and ceramic bezels fitted as stock on all of there dive models if steeldive and San Martin and a few other Chinese watch manufacturers have all of those things fitted as standard they even use Seiko automatic movements but there watches cost less than a basic Seiko 5..🤔🇬🇧🇺🇦

looks like a master lock dial padlock.

How are links atached screw a push pins ?

Hi there, Thanks a lot for the video comparison between king samurai amd samurai. I want to buy one watch, but I feel like need ur opinion between samurai and king samurai. To be more specific: I'm stuck between: SRPE35k1 VS SRPF03k1 black dial stainless steel strap. The price difference is only 100dollars now. The king samurai price is only 500sg dollar in indonesia. Hence, lets put aside price, which one do you think better? The pros for the SRPF03k1 (old samurai) is, I feel like it looks more for younger (without the cyclops, dont really like it tho). However the new one seems looks more expensive and the most important thing has sapphire crystal and ceramic bazel, which make it much harder to be scrached (since im quite sloppy) Im 26 yo guy will use it for daily basis. This is going to become my first samurai and maybe only, sincr im not a collector. Only a normal user. Looking forward for your advise. Thanks a lot!

Question, would the king samurai crystal fit the basic samurai PADI? I would like to upgrade to this because of the magnifier date feature type crystal but I can't seem to find any after market sapphire with that magnifier!

Hello.what do you think of this watch on are 8 inch wrist? is this watch suitable?

Hello Where can I buy it in Singapore? What about the current price??

Is the bezel made by metal or ceramic? With the same reference on their website it says metal!

Is this a little thick and chunky on the wrist?

What type of the button in this watch? push-down or screw-down?

Is there any difference in QC and Quality between JDM AND k SERIES Made in Asian countries ?

Great review, thanks! What is your wrist size for reference?

In 2021 still producing tons of 4r35 🤣🤣🤣

samurai loves to eat waffle.got the white dial J model @ close to 800 dish.

I really want the watch! Where's a good place to purchase one?

Mine is brand new and gains w0 seconds per day. It is off 4 minutes per week. What kind of quality control is this for a 600 dollar watch? Pathetic!

If your Seiko doesn't have the Made in Japan stamp, all you have on your wrist is a mutt.
