What strap is that? I would like to buy one too!

Man , I bought this too back in 2018 . Love the explorer look . The 12o clock indicie fell off . Cost me $2.00 to have it repaired . Wish I have modding skills . Rotor is kinda loud . Still love it .

Awesome build . I saw Seiko spb143 on a KZfaq vid and fell in love . I also tried it on while on vacation at a Seiko boutique. Love the style hate the $ and weight . Planning to buy the Seestern v3 62 mas . For now I will stick with rubber strap . I have a 6.25 wrist . Bracelet has male end links , no go for me . I love the 62 mas look . Hope the Seestern quality is good enough .

Comprei um desse hoje...

hahaha, laoluan means awesome in shanghainese. Luan means D, similar to badass, the difference is that you guys use the word ass, we use the word Dxxx.

where did you get that jubilee?

Love the dome glass. The more you looked at it the more you love it.

I could not find this model anymore :(

shot it closer to the camera please

Bro, its $52.00 now! Buying one tonight.

Wow, you have some beautiful vintage watches 👍

Can you remove links from this bracelet? If not, what is the minimum wrist size I can adjust the bracelet of this watch to? I have a possiblity to buy but my wrist's small.

Do you mind sharing where you found the end links for the seiko brick bracelet on the black dial LM, or did it come with them? I'm hoping to adjust some to fit my 4005-7000 and it looks like I'll have to grind some down. Thanks!

is a fake

Great job! It looks great!

Looks good bro! Any new videos on the horizon?

Did you file the caseback that came with the seestern? The thickness is what is holding me back from getting one. Thanks

So much lag... pls reduce the pauses.

Love your review! Btw, does the watch keeps on winding when you're trying to screw it down? Is that normal or is it only for NH35A?

Great build. Mind sharing where you got the dial?

The height reduce seems very nice! Where did you get the thin case back?

Nice!

Nice video, clever stuff with the pads. You got a lot of nice watches. 👌

Does that bezel move?

Excellent review my man. Keep these up. Subbed.👊🏽

The movement of my snk381 is very bad, + 35" for day, but i like the design of these watch. I change the black day disk with a white day disk, like a macv-sog in Vietnam War. Is possible to replace the 7s26 with a nh35 for better accuracy?

I was going to order this watch but the integrated bracelet killed it. So limited on the bands you can use

Beautiful watch and that was an awesome deal

I got the Solar model ⌚👍

Somehow Zodiac made an all gold watch so elegant. I think it's the clear respect they show to their heritage in the design.

I agree, you have to have that applied logo. Great video, just subscribed 👍

Looks nice, indeed i'm curious where you got the dial & hands. Maybe the San Martin case (37) with your dial would make something nice too.

You done a great job on that watch 👍 looks awesome on strap

Very inspirational. Shaving the back is a brilliant idea, Thanks.

I’m flattered that you quoted me, Jay. Where did you get the Seiko dial and that sweet leather strap? As far as homage watches go, I feel the 62mas is a perfect candidate. An original 62mas is virtually unobtainable, especially in good condition. It’s kind of like those Shelby Cobra replica kit cars you can buy for the price of a new Toyota Corolla. The originals are unobtanium, so third party manufacturers have stepped in and made a legendary car available to the Everyman. It’s not a perfect analogy, because Seiko does offer a reissue, but it costs a fortune. I doubt Seiko is losing sales to Heimdallr, Seestern, San Martin, Cadisen, etc. Those folks were never gonna shell out $3500 for the genuine Seiko article.

In my opinion the 62mas is the AK47 of watch designs. It's simple, has an instantly recognizable silouette, and has been copied and manufactured by a bunch of companies. It's one of my personal favorite watch designs. It has a brutal beauty unlike any other watch.

Seiko will always be my favorite watch brand. They offer something for everyone whether your budget is two digits or five digits. My current daily is a Seiko SUR373. It's a great example of Seiko's ability to go places that microbrands and Chinese brands can't follow. It's titanium and 8mm thin for $200, with a 44GS like case that makes it look like a baby Grand Seiko. Finishing is superb, especially for titanium. Yes, the second hand doesn't line up with the indices, but that's an issue I can easily overlook given the watch's many merits and low price. The knockoff brands might be able to immulate the look, but they can't immulate the compact dimensions. Oh, and even though it's only 8mm thin, it has a screwdown caseback and 100m water resistance.

You’re a talented reviewer with impeccable taste in watches. The Orient with the baton indices is a low key masterpiece. I’m sure it was a good watch with the flat mineral crystal, but with the domed acrylic it’s a great watch.

You have the best taste of any watch enthusiast I’ve ever met. I’m watching all your videos just to get exposure to all these amazing watches, many of which I’ve never seen before. I also share your enthusiasm for vintage Seikos, but you clearly know much more about them than I do.

Nice to meet another person who is hip to vintage Seikos. I have a 1978 SQ and if you were to just read it as a list of specs it wouldn’t seem impressive in today’s market. Quartz, mineral crystal, folded link bracelet, pressed clasp, 36mm. On paper it’s a mediocre watch. In reality it’s one of the best damned watches I’ve ever owned. The folded link bracelet is super light with lots of articulation so it just molds to your wrist. The dial is subtle, with a hue somewhere between white and rose gold. It changes depending on the angle of the light. It’s 36mm, but it wears larger because of its hooded lugs. The second hand hits every marker giving it the feel of a precision instrument. Finally, the indices and applied logo are so crisply machined that I always stop and marvel that such precision was possible in 1978. Hell, that kind of precision would be impressive now. It’s an amazing timepiece. P.S. I personally love the 36mm size. I was just making the point that the diminutive size would be unpopular in today’s market.

You have AMAZING taste in watches. Damn. I can’t decide which of those watches I like most. I can see what you mean about a bezel adding a premium look. Personally, I’m undecided. The watches that you just showed are so incredibly well designed I think they look good with and without the bezel. I think the bezel gives them a harder edged, more masculine look. Without the bezel they look more streamlined and delicate, which is also a great look. Man, that Zodiac and Seagull are COOL.

I got the re-release of the Olympos, green dial, orange second hand a month ago and I can't appreciate it enough. I hope the quality issues are addressed now. Thank you for the video.

Great monologue! Love it! Keep it up!

What diameter that dial is? 28.5mm?

thank you for your videos. Where did you get your strap for the Gold Olymos ?

So right spot on.

great video , waiting for parte 2 specially for the crown i tried 2 but that doesn't fit

I’m stoked, I just bought this exact watch at an estate sale for $2. It does show some wear on the acrylic but the cross hair dial is beautiful. It’s on a metal stretch bracelet, I’m considering having it serviced and polished. Great video

Awesome work on fitting that jubilee to the case. I wanna try this someday, but with a blue 62mas dial.

Acrylic crystals are massively underappreciated
