hey actually im starting to get into watch world. i really love dress watch and don't really like bulky rolex watch. for honest opinion is seiko good ? i just got a ssa369j1

Yep Seikosha are great but if you’re looking for an affordable dress watch look no further than the orient bambino.

@@mistermood4164 i really love bremont design. but its out of my range for now

@King 😂😂😂😂😂

I enjoy seeing the term pwnd on a watch review youtube page

Ditto.

God ikr...

George Jacob me too

If you are really interested in a GS, plan a vacation to Japan and go to BIC Camera. I bought my SBGA225 for a great price. So good, that I could sell it, for more than I paid for it. It's not that the prices went up, the discount was that good!!!

Soooo true!!!

Let's be honest, Rolex was never at the top of watches.

I wanna say I love you. So I will, I love you.

so you UPgraded :)

A man of culture

@Whiteboy14 Actually I own a cheap Seiko 5 Sports 2020 model, I dont know how; but it runs at around +1/-1 for a week when I rotate, just damn lucky I guess

Brother, will you mind telling us what is your company?

Thats the best way to describe owning a GS.

Agreed, Artur. I'll add -- When you see a Rolex you always wonder if it's a fake. But, when you see a GS spring drive sweep you KNOW it's a real GS.

I bought Rolexes to impress myself and others, I do and I am stunned!

@@Michael-Gill very true, there is so many Rolex imitation watches that looks really good and you can't tell the difference unless you hold it. with GS spring glide, you know there is only one.

@@Michael-Gill A friend tried on my Snowflake and asked if it was fake lol. The polish on it made him think it was Stainless steel instead of Titanium.

Well said.

That's a beautiful take on it.

Deep

This is profound!

Just a cycle finish, to star another and another.

I wish the Slow Mo Guys could film a quarter-dial view of the Spring Drive, if only to clear up how many times the 'Tri-Synchro Regulator' 'intermittently applies a magnetic brake' per second. The Spring Drive is 'sweeping' to the naked eye, but undoubtedly some clarity would be revealed using a camera filming at 100,000-343,000 fps.

@@borbetomagus What would that prove? It's still second to no other non quartz watch in its smoothness.

@@varanid9 I thought some had claimed the second hand was perfectly smooth and I was just wondering how many movements of the second hand could be seen in a three to five second arc, though if someone were going to go to the trouble of such a slo-motion video, I'd hope they'd also include a video of the TAG Heuer 'Mikrogirder 10000' watch (which operates at 2000 bps).

Bulova Precisionist is smoother than this...And more accurate.

A Bulova Precisionist is EQUALLY smooth, 100x as accurate and 1/10th the price.

Kaizen* (改善・かいぜん)

@@HilbertXVI lol... good correction. I've worked with Japanese car makers for over 15 years and lived in Japan. The attention to detail, craftsmanship, teamwork, and drive for continuous improvement are cultural traits that permeate all of their industries it seems. I just bought a breitling, but cannot wait to by a Grand Seiko to add to my collection!! I live in Michigan, US and need to find where I can purchase one. They are excellent watches. I rank them above Rolex .

"Do it once, do it right". Kaizen, the good path. I suggest not trying this path in France unless you have self-destructive tendencies.

i agree...

i worked for some japanese companies before and most of it is in manufacturing. i also know the "kaizen" which all of my previous companies have as a slogan. the real thing here is Japanese never stops on improving in a budget way.

😂

Swiss watches have there place. I buy a Rolex to have other people distracted from work, I get a grand seiko so I'm distracted from work. They seem boring but in real life the details are just perfect

They are affraid of course

🤣🤣🤣

If you know you know. And that is all that matters!

Then you can tell whether someone truly understands and appreciates watchmaking by asking whether they know GS.

Buy a GS and you will be judge by those that know a good watch and recognise it’s quality and your knowledge of watch making that made you choose a GS above all others

@@The2follow I'd rather impress literally everyone but internet watch nerds. You would too. Don't lie to yourself.

Nobody notices your watch , any watch ! Nobody cares other than other watch geeks.

Could you please elaborate? Genuinely interested

Too shame??? Don't think so Drama Queen..You were so excited to bash the watches you owned that you couldn't proofread your comment..Hahaha

Totally agreed

@@vicarious1717 It is 'to shame'...

Eh..I don’t know about that. The problem I have with these watches is that they look so plain. It looks like something out of a Walmart display case (yes very nicely finished) but plain. I looked at several of these last week and found none of them the least bit exciting.

Odom rpk! lol

Have you seen the Ablogtowatch spending time videos/podcasts with David Bredan?

"Grande Seco"

@@87channels seiko*

@@bio-plasmictoad5311 no, you should turn on the subtitles and rewatch the video lol

I don't quite get the hype about the sweeping second. Supposedly it only comes from being harder to make. Imagine it were the other way round.

I'm four years into the ownership of a spring drive, and it still gains a very predictable 3 seconds. Per month. Love, love, love this watch.

@karsten lol a Honda K series can destroy a GTR (drag) easy. Now that's what you call a budget.

Agreed.

Hey buddy, don't forget that nowadays watches are absolutely useless when you have a phone in your pocket everywhere you go. Watches are essentially pieces of jewelry nowadays. Beauty of Jewelry doesn't lie in exact precision but personal tastes..

@@seanl764 Sean, you are absolutely right! But. My friend has a big name German brand gold watch, purchased brand new. It stopped running. He sent it back for service. After that it stopped again... I recently purchased another German brand, limited edition watch, same thing happened. Both beautiful watches, and I DO know that it is like impossible events, but still happened... I did bring back mine, and hardly can wait for my GS to arrive... And yes, it is as you said "personal taste", but a "Snowflake" or a "White Birch" is beautiful, even if not exactly your style.

Rolex doesn't rely on much marketing anymore, it's synonymous with luxury watches without needing it

@@ifb6368 Rolex spends an insane ammount of its money on marketing actually,

@@ifb6368 It is synonymous with luxury but they also advertise/sponsor many world-wide sporting events, especially tennis, since it fits with their marketing perfectly.

Japanese companies suck when it comes to marketing, especially to consumers abroad. They're good at making bizarre ads, but marketing is another story.

@Stein Mauer I also see a lot of FI drivers given Richard Mille watches and as sponsors

😂 so true so seeing watch porn

At april 1st he should make a video about it

You got alpha m to do that

Casio F91w review on April 1

​@@nameunko Totally

Bahahaha yeah his presentation is amazing

If they ran their train service with that accuracy, they would have to cut down a whole rain forest for all those apology letters.

Same as a breitling superquartz, or a Longines VHP

@Whiteboy14 I think you are conflating a mechanical/spring drive to an actual quartz (and battery) watch from GS.

Congrats...!

Alex Oliver grand Seiko is the luxury series of seiko company.

thank you for your sharing sir. hope one day i have atleast one GS , but for me its just a dream because its too expensive...

@@rizaalfian1396 I hope one day you do. My first GS was a 37mm silver quartz. Absolutely fabulous watch. Possibly the best daily wearer out there and the cheapest one GS sell. Still a lot of money I know, but boy that's a good watch.

@@rizaalfian1396try looking on chrono they go down in value a decent amount

Is omega seamaster accurate time if not worn regularly

You’ll get there man!

Less liabilities more work!

go for older GS....

.....yet. You'll get there.

How much do they cost

I am jealous beyond words.

@@TheFlyingFishy I had to sell the diver... But I still have the Snowflake and I'm wearing it right now😁

@@tkmmusician Fam the snowflake is my fav xD

Yup. It is.

For me it's in the detail. C'est la vie.

Own a couple of those haha

He would still make it sound amazing and make me want one.

I just began my watch journey this past weekend with a Seiko 5 SNK-793 and a Timex Weekender. I'm wearing the Seiko at this moment, and his little documentary just made me proud of it. I bought it because other reviewers recommended Seiko 5 as a good value for a starter watch, but now I can appreciate the corporate culture and history behind my affordable little timepiece, even if it is to its Grand Seiko relative as a snowman is to Michaelangelo's David. :)

@Dat Phung Thank you! So far, so good; it runs just fine, and I still love it!

@@sobrcelt Hi Sobrcelt, I want to buy Seiko 5 with blue dial too and it's arriving soon. Furthermore, I still need to buy the old classic type of white-dial black-leather watch. Do you have any suggestion type of series from Seiko that has good value too and the price is on par with Seiko 5 with white-dial black-leather watch? I look further for your reply. Thank you.

@Whiteboy14 You're confusing Japan with China.

What did they do to destroy the British motorcycle industry? Was there a technological advancement they used or was it simply superior build quality?

pyeclam I want to know too lol. I'm just as curious as you

@@pyeclam Thank you for your interest. The short answer to your question would be "Both, and then some." Disclaimer: The cause given to the decline of the British motorcycle industry depends a lot on who you ask, and my opinion is worth no more than the next guy's. It certainly can't be blamed on any one single event, but it is undeniable that the appearance around the beginning of the 1970s of inexpensive Japanese bikes that didn't leak oil, had better electrical systems and brakes, and benefited from advances in engine technology had a lot to do with that decline. (At the time, Triumph's flagship Bonneville was still powered by an engine largely unchanged from the engine Edward Turner developed in the '30s.) Add on Japan's development of mass production techniques, throw in labor problems in the UK manufacturers at the time... You see where this is going. The Japanese basically upped the game and the old guard, which really hadn't made significant improvements in decades, struggled to catch up. Don't get me wrong - I love Brit Bikes from that era and have owned several. Also, Triumph in particular has recovered well under the leadership of John Bloor and currently makes outstanding motorcycles. But for quite a while back then, when I really needed to go a long distance in a hurry I grabbed the keys to the Honda and left the Triumph in the garage.

I’ll also add the Mazda Miata , which was created as a turn key reliable small British sports car.

Poison ivy is worse.

Large and sohne are absolutely wild prices now eh? I've never lost money on a seiko. They practically were my bread and butter a few years ago. Spent days and nights on ebay, scouring joblots. Once a day I'd score a joblot with a seiko or casio that was worth flipping.

@@marcoantonio078 cool. There's a bunch of watches I bought in the past that I couldn't justify on cost grounds. AP RO, A Lange 1 and a few others. But it's fine. I have enough watches

Biće odličan Vaš video kao i uvek, siguran sam!

Same here

Haha. Seems to be a hot topic at the moment! Pleased to see Grand Seiko/Seiko getting more and more recognition!

There will be an intro in the form of King Seiko 4502 review that I FINALLY recorded after ONLY a year 😄

to bits, I hope.

Well, it depends which kind of Pp ap and gs (there are 50k gs and 10k ap)

@@bzzz179 First of all, you're comparing a far more expensive watch to Grand Seiko, and second of all, I'd much rather have Spring Drive than tourbillon. I hate that tourbillons always have to be shown out in the open, and that really doesn't fit my style.

@@bzzz179 For those who like AP Royal Oaks, it probably is. My own choice if I were willing and able to spend the premium for some high end mechanical bling (which is all a tourbillon is), would be the JLC Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon. I kind of prefer my watches not to be mistaken for pipe fittings. Just saying.

Pure Class! Chow
