2023 What’s Left Of My Seiko Collection

In this video I share with you what's left of my Seiko Watch Collection. I sold many Seiko watches in 2023 but I still have a collection I am proud to own. My collection also includes Grand Seiko and Credor watches!
Here are some videos I have made on some of my Seiko Watches...
Grand Seiko - • THIS WATCH WILL BLOW Y...

My ebay store where I sell lightly used modern watches to fund the purchase of more watches to review!

Here is my Go Fund Me called Watches 4 Kids. I am raising money to buy disadvantaged kids watches as well as meeting these children to talk to them about watches and KZbin.

WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use KZbins lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and KZbin deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

The Quartz Seiko at the end is the SBTM307

[@LarryCoffer]

its such beautiful watch

[@chrisbrown6494]

Watching this while wearing my SARB033, had it for 6 years and it's going nowhere.

[@michaelj8793]

A trip down memory lane to see these watches still hold their own Thanks for sharing my friend and Be well

[@talkingtofu]

The last grand seiko you featured was absolutely stunning. if thats a solar quartz then im sold to it! I'm 25 and currently own 2 watches, a G-Shock 5610 and a Seiko SKX007 i bought second hand. I love these two to death!

[@ilikewatches]

Very cool choices

[@Beanerds]

Reminds my of my Seiko collection ,,, I started in 1974 with a 6138 chronograph in gold , and last count scared me ,, over 50 now with Automatics , Divers , Kinetic's , Solar , Astron's ( which are amazing ) , with 2 Grand Seiko's as icing , but I love them all . I rotate them all 10 at a time over a few weeks , its fun . Thank you .

[@karlsenula9495]

Absolutely loving that green dial Alpinist and the SARA011. Two Seikos that won't leave my collection are my ice blue Presage Cocktail Time and my SUP88O tank ... well unless I get a JLC Reverso Duoface or Cartier Tank/Santos ... and those aren't particularly likely.

[@LarryCoffer]

I just sold that same Japanese Seiko...instant regret after seeing this video.

[@tkindschi]

I saw a lot of "White dial GADA" watches in there, (both owned and sold). That's one area I just don't own! And I don't know why?! They look great. I have too many black dial watches. We all have our issues. ;)

[@JohnBuckmaster-sw3wm]

So I think you were saying that you still had 017 alpinist in your collection!? I have a lot of seiko’s in my collection and that’s become my favorite. Consider picking up a strap code Jubilee.For it. They have fitted endlinks made just for the watch. My biggest regret is having sold my Saab 033. I’ve been trying to add it back in to my collection and they’re just not to be found for less than 2 1/2 times the original retail. Thanks for the great video!

[@Shri_V]

Loved the flashback video clips! And the watches too but more the clips.

[@TheSuttdaddy]

Great video. Love the personal clips in there. Thanks for sharing always great content!

[@ilikewatches]

Thanks for watching!

[@bifflee3603]

Nice collection, looking forward to seeing the follow up video of yhe rest of your collection

[@jorgeolguingarcia]

Great collection. But I concur in that they were too many Seikos. Get the Turtle back!!! The predominant brand in my collection is also Seiko. It has been a fantastic brand, hope they don't astray to much

[@roddunne]

Great selection and great Stories Gary. You're killing me with that SBTM307 at the end - I mistakenly searched for 'SBTM' and found another beauty - SBTM339 - down the rabbit hole... love me a solar and this one is titanium + blue dial + minimal dial branding + radio wave correction (not fussed bout that last 'feature'). Gotta do the niteclub bouncer principle of 'only letting one in when one goes out' ;)

[@ilikewatches]

Sounds like a great plan though!

[@ilikewatches]

I just bought the SBTM323

[@PukaHeadMan]

My favorite is that Seiko Snowflake Presage. Beautiful!

[@griggsbuild]

Very nice Gary! I recently bought a Seiko SCVE051 on a holiday in Japan. It's a blue dial open heart. I'd describe it as a budget presage. I couldn't find any reviews in English. Maybe a project for you?! 😊

[@ilikewatches]

I’ll take a look! Thanks

[@franciscomoliner1296]

Bought the SBTM305 (blue dial model) after your review, great purchase, love the watch which gets lots of wrist time. Thank you for that and Regards Gary

[@praveennair9501]

surprised you sold the Alba AKA & the Dolce, bought them based off your reviews, but I’m keeping them 😁

[@gazzertrn]

I get some of my watches from Japan , believe me the second hand watches you can get are superb . they use a really good scale to say what condition they are in .Also they sell models that are hard to get here , well worth a look . Im in to Prospex, and Arnie Seikos at the moment . But i just love those Grand Seikos , pure class .

[@adk7962]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

[@FatherSonWatchTalk]

Love this episode! I am a Seiko lover as well.

[@andyholton7959]

Thanks for sharing 👌🏻

[@garethhanna9173]

Orient for me, four Bambinos, a Kamasu, and a couple of Orient Stars. The only Seiko I have if a Prospex Alpinist Deep Lake, it's a keeper.

[@ilikewatches]

Steel finishing on Orient watches is very poor, I find it hard to enjoy them

[@garethhanna9173]

I have a couple of Casio Oceanus, the finishing on those things rivals Grand Seiko.

[@WonderofWatches]

The sbga373 is one of my favourite watches

[@moboei]

Iam shocked and stunned. What a great collection

[@bevboakes8982]

Hi Gary,now you’ve got the Seiko itch out of the way,glad to hear that you’re doing a combined version. So can you also pick your number one watch,out of all of them and why.

[@philspencelayh5464]

Interesting walk down memory lane. I have a few Seikos but non that you have/had, just shows how many models they must have made.

[@alvarojoseborreror.6588]

Just beautiful perfect collection!

[@RandallSlick]

That old sentimental, broken old Seiko. So many of us have one. I gaze on the mighty SQ100 text on mine and weep that movements are no longer available. So they remain tucked away and every so often we put a battery in them in the vain hope of a long-lost tick. Stay strong brother. Stay strong.

[@mikeg6008]

That's a solid collection of Seiko and GS!

[@wastedaga1n]

Check out the Sagz083, or not, whatever. If you live in America, check out the Seiko caliber 7B24. Gary, You look really good in a suit jacket.

[@ollyw2897]

Some absolute stunners there Gary. Very jealous!

[@bestboy897]

Great collection

[@slaphead2965]

There was a time (about 10-15 years ago) when Seiko watches we're dirt cheap. Then I believe a few KZbin creators caused a revival of the Seiko SK009 divers and the popularity sadly drove the price up. Nice watches btw Gary. 👍🙂🇬🇧

[@alexprendido2023]

Nice collection, that gs are lovely

[@AlexanderB.]

Oh, right the SARB033. It was a fantastic little watch but it's no longer there. It had to go to fund something even better, a Grand Seiko!. It's a shame Seiko don't make quality movements like the 4L any more. It's all the same now, 4R and 6R, reliable but quite boring.

[@mrdbmckenna]

That SARA011 is chef kiss good-looking.

[@ilikewatches]

Oh yes…just stunning!

[@WatcheswithGeorge]

Hey Gary, what is the model number of the watch at 8:12? Thanks

[@HORIZONTIMEPASSIONEOROLOGI]

Love for SBGN027 Gran Seiko 😍

What’s the model number on the textured black dial with 12 and 6 numeral only?

No "Willard" ??

I’ve looked at the baby turtle getting expensive to buy in now with the tax import etc I’ve got the Land Turtle which is similar got decent price on eBay on one of

[@JonTheComputerDoctor]

Cannot go wrong with a GS.

[@RampartPh]

I can't help but notice you don't have any Seiko limited edition stuff designed and released "exclusively" for south east Asian nations like Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. They are fire! 🔥

[@ilikewatches]

Can you suggest one?

All your watches look immaculate, is this because they are on permanent rotation.
