The Dansk cookie tin holding grandma’s sewing gear is a very relatable memory.

I thought this movement (and watch) had the higher beat. I’m certain it does. It also is a true GMT. Both these facts make the price an absolute deal.

The biggest pro wasn't even mentioned. This movement has an independently settable hour hand. Making it a true traveller's gmt instead of an office gmt. Not many "true" gmts at this price point. It's supposed to be the same movement as the Seiko presage sharp edged gmts released last year

It runs with 28800 vph!

Hey Jory. The Seiko SARF011 with the 6R64 is a high beat movement--4HZ 28800BPH. It is the only Seiko 6R that is. I bought the Seiko Landmaster (JDM) back in 2020 and it has the 6R64 High Beat movement.

One of my grail watches is a Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT. This one checks all the boxes of what I am currently seeking which is a 'different' GMT that is a REAL GMT and the price is quite affordable. The light blue tint is also rather interesting, as is the titanium. I will have to see how it looks on my wrist as I am a 'smaller' person and have narrow wrists

Pretty sure the 6R64 is 28.8k bph

Dear Seiko, Please, for the love of god, no more 14 mm thick Presages. - sincerely, Seiko fans.

Great Vid! Presage has always been a nice sweet spot in the Seiko line up. World class quality that won’t break the bank!

I’ve done some research on this particular watch, and it does have a 28,800 beat rate movement. Which is similar movement to their other power reserve models with enamel and porcelain dials

Nice watch. The 6r64 is a 4Hz movement. It's the same one in presage Sharp Edge GMT. You can even see it in the footage. Add to that it's a travellers GMT. The latter for tracking multiple locations in one place is a desk/office GMT. 100m water resistance is absolutely fine.

I had to look it up to be sure, but according to Seiko, the 6R64 runs at 28,800.

Love this color. Been thinking of getting one of the seiko cocktails in this light bluish silver.

I just stumbled on this review as I was looking up the style number. I bought this at WACO in Ginza because I just fell in love with the dial/watch/titanium. It wears really easy, so light on the wrist! So pretty to just look at!

What is this guy talking about? This movement is a 4Hz movement with 45 hours of power reserve. I am confused. And now the Swiss Swatch with the Powermatic 80 is a 3Hz movement.

It's a beauty, love the dial, don't mind the thickness or the lower beat rate, titanium is nice. I'd buy it. Great video as always...but though you might know when people in the UK are sleeping......here in Istanbul, we may be just an hour or two to waking up!!

Nice review and watch! I believe the 6r64 is a 28000bph movement... I wish it had a longer power reserve though...

Price seems about right IMHO, very nice watch indeed. I think 100m and no screw down crown is fine too. Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻

So appreciate your upbeat humor and applicable information.. Best regards.

Why is Seiko always criticized for everything that seems normal for Swiss brands, whether conglomerates or independent?

No micro adjust on the bracelet is a negative for me. I have the same complaint about many of the Grand Seiko pieces.

Looks great, but that dial texture makes me think of giant thumbprints 😅

Save another $1500 and buy an old Grand Seiko spring drive GMT, I think.

Finally, a GMT (yes, I appreciate them, and use them daily)..

You always cheer my day up with your hilarious bits in the videos. Great review. It does look pretty cool and classy.

SARF sounds to me more like scarf than barf. My mania for accuracy means I want plus or minus ten seconds a year, and yet I’d wear one of these anyway. The sapphire helps too.

I held this watch and absolutely love it!!!! Titanium !!! Love me some TI! And its smaller than the presage sharp edge gmt! Its a nice watch

I'm from the UK, and watching this channel

I just pissed myself with that sewing kit joke 👏🏻👏🏻 well done, sir, well done

Bedtime here in the UK. Thanks for looking out for us.

Glad to see your not bashing Invicta at the moment! I am sure it won't last lol!

Agree 100%, if "Swiss Made" was on this watch instead, it would cost more. But remeber, the resale value would also be higher. I don't flip my watches. I prefer my Seiko to be $500 ), worn without fear. When I want fancy, I go for a vintage Swiss.

You're right. Now I want one.

This is the "ocean traveller by cruise ship" so that's why it doesn't have a screw down crown in my mind at least. I mean this watch has a lot going for it but as you say there are a lot of REALLY nice watches you can get for this kind of money. I'd probably like it more in another colour like green and gold for example.

Can you rewiew diesel never heard of them

Great show once again Jory. not sure why you are worried too much about the watch being not high beat. A high beat watch works faster which means more wear and tear on the mechanism. We need to have mechanical watches that can be passed down to our sons and daughters so that they can appreciate watch making for what it is. i know that i am going off topic here but i have some great watches that I want to pass on to my children, watches with a bit of history.

One of my most accurate mechanicals is the Stowa marine original with 18000 vph. High beat is not necessary for accuracy. The MFR just has to do it, both in design and quality control.

The main cons for me is that I can't find it in France!

OK. . .I am fighting myself to buy the sibling (SARF012) to this ⌚ thanks to your review. My nucleus acumbens is raging with the urge to get this one, and my wallet is cursing the existence of this Seiko GMT series.

Another great video man 👍🏼

Higher beat frequency is not really an extra luxury in my eyes. What it does is it makes watches more prone to wear and tear, and it shortens service intervals by a lot. I rewatched the Roger Smith interview series Adrian had at Bark Jack. I liked his thinking, that a higher beat rate is the easy way to enhance accuracy and mask not so good tolerances, and it means we exponentially shorten the service interval and robustness of a watch. Now I'm not saying that having a lower beat rate in and of itself makes a movement better, but if you can have a movement with similar accuracy but at a lower beat rate, it can have twice the service interval and will just be much more robust. I don't really care about the high frequency sweep(I have watches with 28800bpm sweep, I personally see no aesthetic benefit in it). But I understand of course that other people may find it nicer. Just wanted to point out that in some way, an equally accurate movement at a lower beat rate with similar architechture can indicate better tolerances, and will most likely cause a much longer service interval and more robust movement.

Great looking watch. Like the dial and bracelet. Agree with everything you said here. I would prefer a screw down crown. Great video.

The seiko gmt presage sharp is very similar. It has a screw down crown , SS, thinner, and 100meters. The LE in white is scarce.

Love it or hate it, the underdog's on top.

No need to watch the video, I already want one... A similar Seiko Presage (SSA343J1 or the 'limited' SPB267J1) has been on my 'to get' list for quite a while... Getting one finally for my birthday this year 🤞 After watching: Yep, want this one as well 🙈

Presage: a turkey before the stuffing goes in. You want high beat, go for 4,194,304 Hz like Citizen. Actually that may be too low.

Honestly, the Royal Dansk sewing kits are the most reliable sewing kits to date.

Nice review of a cool watch. I have not yet seen one of these, but it is impressive!👍

Jory is pulling a mrballen on the like button.

That sewing kit must have belonged to my mom... We got the same one at my childhood home 😅

You didn't mention no dam lume

Oh boy, what a looker! Can we mod this one to be thinner?

That watch is beautiful! ❤

I gave the like button the best tin of cookies its ever had!

I think it looks great! I bought the Landmaster with the 6R64 back in 2018, and I think it's really good...except for the date wheel. Waste of time and space. But....it's still disappointing that they aren't putting screwed crowns on anything since. The screw-down crown is often a decider for me.

Very kool but yes very THICK! I think the 2 Seikos I would buy would be a Capitan Willard or a Tuna Marine master Great video brotha 👌I'm surprised Seiko haven't did a Recreation of the Commander Pogue

3:05 I'm a UK viewer, and now I feel a bit weird. I'm off to change my WiFi password.

I've got a Seiko Presage with Spring Drive from the Porco Rosso limited collection. $6k USD for a Seiko!?😜 But it's the absolute favorite of my collection. Presage line can be very nice indeed. Bph? Doesn't matter. 😁

That's a gorgeous watch.

It’s a gorgeous looking watch, worth that price tag though?…. Not quite !

Great watch , thanks

Actually I am in bed while watching this in the UK 🤗

Please show me another watch below USD2000 that runs at a higher beat than 28,800 bpm? All the entry level swatch group watches use the powermatic 80 with 21,600 bpm.

There are a few 6r movements that are 28800 and this is one of them.

How did I miss this episode. This Seiko is sick!! But I’m still in the $500 or less watch club. Lol.

Literally every video... "Well i'm wearing my Seiko Tuna."

My cats managed to get a big scratch on my hardlex SNA411. 😂😭

you can get all of that and more with an Orient Star Retrograde Power Reserve SDE00002W0 for a third of the price

Good morning from the UK Jory 🇬🇧 😂🤣

Higher beat rate? Ok, but Patek uses 18.000 bph. The watch isn't expensive since you're getting all the complications and the titanium. Winner. Only reason I don't want one is too thick.

The size should have been more of an 42 with 14 thickness, or have a slightly different profile to hide/mask the thickness a bit

Loved the intro.

This proves that to the naked eye, you can't tell the diff between 3hz and 4hz.

Is the dail blue - ish? I thought we were over blue dials

since TTT brought it up i feel inclined to say i don't get the power reserve indicator as a desirable feature. do people actually say, dang i'd buy this watch if it just had a power reserve indicator? it unbalances the dial and add one more feature and in my view it's now cluttered. i close with this important closing: imo.

6R64 is a high beat movement 👍

Loved the dial but not the price, so consoled myself it's too thick. BTW I'm a UK subscriber and I'll be going to bed in about an hour

JOMW t-shirt. Dig it.

I love your reviews

Oh, shit… I accidentally hit the dislike button. But you can know that in my heart I liked it.

Really not convinced by the stated accuracy ratings of recent new seikos. Looks pretty, but up to 25 secs fast a day for a 1k watch? There's budget Swiss for half that with etas that are much more accurate. I suppose it depends what you're looking for in a watch, but having to potentially turn it back nearly 15 mins a month? Not for me.

I'm from the UK , so when will you attend the London Watch show in March...hint hint 😉

Is there a signed crown for 1500 smackers?

gold, silver, black, white and blue, watch for people who grab first watch which should be bang for buck and never care how it looks or works

It took me a minute to figure out what the fuzzy thing on your shirt was . . . at first looked like a stain.

Lovely watch, too expensive, superb episode. Cheers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

What year was it released?

As a brit... I now feel unsafe

Nice review, nice watch would be interested in seeing it in person. I think Seiko’s other companies, Orient and the lesser known ALBA, are taking up the “affordable” entry level watches. ALBA just came out with a divers watch that is similar to the SKX in appearance and price point (90-120 USD) available in Thailand.

Screw down crown and thinner then defo

Best 👍😂 world number one watch 😂 SEIKO

Yo tengo ese modelo!!

Considering you can get a high-beat miyota 9015 in watches that only cost a couple of hundred I agree Seiko could make more of an effort with their higher priced watches.

I don't know exactly what a threaded crown is but It could use a screw down crown (industry wide expression...do you say threaded case back??)

It's beautiful. Same too expensive

Ver , very thick watch .

Is it a true gmt?

Hi from the UK 😁..... lovely Seiko that I've never seen b4..... mate that Royal Dansk reference accurate as f*ck and translates overseas... was their rules that everyone needed to put their sewing kits in them?🤔 our parents are such bots 😂😂😂

Great video, like the watch but I'm just not seeing $1500
