It’s me not them . They had a model called The Kraken .

I have no doubt of that.

I am contemplating making a video where I remove the sub hand, strip the paint and then thermally blue it. It really depends on how well I can polish it first .

Superb I am pleased to hear you like your version of the watch.

My wife gave up years ago and now just has to accept.

Close ups are all filmed outside, things float in. Other marks will be because I wear the watch usually for 2-3 days to give a proper review. As for the plastic I nearly always leave its on under the clasp for longevity.

Yes sorry I agree . I used the wrong terminology there. I meant it’s a unique piece in anyone’s collection given there is nothing quite like it.

@@mywatchreviews It certainly is !!

You should have stuck with it. Big watches are just a fad. I mainly wear vintage from 31-38 and after a few weeks it’s normal.

@ I really like this color way. Perhaps I’ll give this one a look.

@@mywatchreviewsI agree. I have a 7.5” wrist and apart from one big flieger at 43mm, all my favourite watches now are 39mm and smaller :)

@@mikescafidi fair enough. I personally don’t like them. Had some on Phoibos and I can’t see them properly. Equally this means san Martin have to fit them and as far as I can work out they don’t really do anything. To fit a date ring to an MH35 you have to strip off quite a lot and then reassemble. Time is money. Or they all bespoke smaller batches which would impact the pricing significantly. For a £200 watch from this brand you are already getting way more extras than you do with mainstream.

@@mywatchreviews San Martin has been doing color-matched date wheels on NH35s for quite some time now. In fact, they do it on current iterations of models like the SN0118, SN0116 and SN0113. Just for reference, the price of an SN0118 is exactly the same as the SN0129GB you reviewed here. Based on that, I think we can safely assume that manufacturing costs are not the issue. However, at this point in their brand maturity, they should be focusing on the details. Build quality got them to where they are today, but it's the little things that will justify the cost of their new offerings.

I forgot they did some. I know from my watch repair experience that it’s not a quick job to change them so perhaps Seiko can produce at factory small batches in colours. I stand my ground that for me at least anything other than black or white is much less visible

Well it’s a slip of the tongue. It would be a unique piece in your collection.

? There are no quartz Ciga Blue planets. The first version still sells for £600 on eBay. As weird as they are I think they are great.

@@mywatchreviews Yes, interesting nice watches, that was me reacting to the £1200(!) price. Saw some Lige lookalikes with regular hands for a few pounds, not saying they are anywhere near as good though.

I agree the price is heavy. They must sell though. I look at them on eBay too sometimes ( probably now flooded given every reviewer had one) but they still hold their prices well.

It’s a very fair point.

They do make homage watches but are now moving more into their own designs that have aspects of other brands but not 1 for 1 lookalikes

@@mywatchreviews cara. essa conversa de homenagem não existe, isso é copia mesmo, qualquer um com um pouco de conhecimento básico sobre relógios sabe disso, inventam termos a todo momento para não dizer que são cópias.

It’s there general tactic when releasing a new one. You will see every reviewer posting today as its launch day.

Good review, and a useful comparison with the previous version. Thank you.

For me, way too big on the wrist. Handsome design.
