They also need to sign their crowns. I just dont get it man. These are such gorgeous pieces and all they need to do to really make these unrivaled is just add a quick adjust clasp, signed crown, and replace the pins and collars woth screws. Can u imagine this line with that? The complete unrefuted champ. I would honestly buy every single one from the entire line.

I tried the green dial version, and the details are astonishing. I was pleasantly surprised by how it wears, appearing both beefy and small on my 6.25" wrist despite the 48mm lug-to-lug. One would hardly tell it's a 42mm watch without measuring it

Agree with the date at 3 but the new ISO6425 regulations don't agree. No more half indices allowed with the ISO regulations so you will see the newer models having a date at 4:30 if the brand is going for ISO standards.

Just purchased the black one last Friday on the release date in Japan. I have a green Willard so I picked the black. This is my second Seiko. I usually only purchased Luxury watches until now. I am amazed by the quality of the GMT. It feels great to wear and I love the dial with all information and the date at 4h30. The bracelet is really good and I picked this watch as it has a ceramic bezel. The GMT is interesting but a bit hard to read. But I care more for the 200m/ceramic and overall look and feel than the GMT time. Your video was great. Thank you.

About this precious watch Finally a Seiko with a thinner bezel I wish they can also make it smaller than the case. This Seiko shines from every corner, the GMT function is practically a decoration in this days, it's not intrusive at all, almost like it's not there. Definitely a piece to keep in the collection. Thanks E&W amazing and detailed review, please keep more coming and thanks you for making my purchase experience so smooth with Kavar.

@Ae073001

Very good video as always. I purchased the 383. That black dial is a thing of beauty. To me, one of the best looking Seiko divers one can buy. My favorite case is the MM style, followed by the 62Mas. I agree with all your points, and as a personal owner, I have 3 concerns that could've made this watch great, but also understandably would've probably pushed it above the $1500 price tag. 1. The dial and crown. The dial could lose a line or two of text and the crown for $1500 needs to be signed. Come on Seiko, Zelos does lumed crowns on watches for $500.00. A good move would be to take the X from the dial and use that on the crown. That way we have less dial text (Also remove the 3 days, definitely not needed), we have a signed crown. The X will still identify the Prospex line, and it is a good differentiator from other models. 2. The bracelet. At this point, I don't even get my hopes up for a good Seiko bracelet, even at over 1K. With folks like Monta, about the same price point as this line watch, they are giving great bracelet's. I don't know why Seiko continues to provide sub-par offerings? Again, even Zelos at sub $500 is offering superior bracelets and clasps. When I purchase a Seiko or Grand Seiko watch, I automatically also purchase an aftermarket strap or bracelet. I include it in the watch budget. It's like muscle memory, I do it out of habit. 3. The movement. Like their bracelets, Seiko doesn't seem to bother to dial in the movement. Unless it is GS, I don't even expect nowhere close to COSC specs. Luckily I don't buy my mechanicals for accuracy. I'm still a Seikopath and luckily their designs are still beautiful and the fit is on point. If either of those slips, Seiko may have lost a loyal buyer.

I just wish they can enlarge the dial a wee bit more and reduce the size of the bezel. The overall size is just right but the dial is a tad too small in relation to it's overall diameter. Having said that I'm sure many will love to own one. Most impressively, there is a quick set date change function. Other far more expensive watches are unable to incorporate this technology/complication in their watch

These are very nice looking indeed. I don't think u mentioned it, but do any of them include a rubber strap also along with the bracelet? I don't think so, but I think you showed them all on a rubber strap option, also. You got some good numbers on the timegrapher for at least one of the ones you measured. I'm still get queezy nervous making a decision to get any Seiko with a 6R based movement. It's can be hit or miss, and my experiences have been 0/2 out of the box. I'd hate to be disappointed again and feel the need to swap out the movement for a 4R34 instead.

How do you think the SPB383 compares with the SPB187? My SPB187 used to keep decent time, now not so great.
@EscapementWatch
@EscapementWatch 2 ай бұрын
how old is your 187 might be in need of a service. This 381 will perform pretty much the same as other "R" movements. Keep in mind all movements will drift accuracy over time as oils dry up etc...but the R seems drift much more then most.

I love the MM200 case and ceramic bezel insert font. I would have preferred an LX bezel but this diamond shape is a close second, better than the boring coin edge or SKX styles. I do not like the 4:30 date window breaking the symmetry and I agree there is too much text on the dial. But most importantly, I think this is priced too high and I'm disappointed that Seiko is following the same trend as other watch manufacturers over the past couple years. This watch should be in the 1000-1200 range IMO. The SRPK released this month being 20% more expensive at MSRP than the SRPD for less watch is another example.

My biggest complaint about Seiko(and I own 5) is they don't sign the crown. I know this may sound trivial but it's just a pet peeve. I absolutely agree about to much text on the dial and the date window should be framed.
