4 years in my collection, definitely one of my favorites. It’s not just that incredibly amazing dial, it’s everything.. After a year or so- The bezel became smooth and klicki, and it aligns beautifully, and it’s funny how it was much more accurate as time passes🤷🏼‍♂️. This week I changed back to the original band-had it on a single pass nato for 2 years. I really do love it and still in love with it 💙🤗

@@iam_vivan I own about 60 watches. If I had to shrink it down to what I absolutely would not live without- it would be one of the few. So I might be a bit biased 😉. I am madly in love with this piece. It is so good in so many aspects. It’s definitely not a scratch magnet, it’s beautiful and unique, very comfortable, the dial is perfection and mesmerising, the indices and hands are at GS finishing level, yet the movement isn’t accurate as a GS☝🏻. The bezel can be a bit tricky to rotate, yet it loosens up, especially after being in water or after a few showers.

I was debating between this one and the King Turtle Save the ocean (SRPF77). Both are stunning to look at. The muted blue/grey. The mantas hiding under the water. I asked the wife to make the decision for me as my birthday gift (June 21). Seems like she chose this one (the Dark Manta Samurai SRPF79). I told her I would be happy whichever she chose. It just came in the mail yesterday. I’m refraining from wearing it or even taking it out of the box until the 21st. Which is no easy feat. I did open it to see how beautiful in person it was for about 1 or 2 minutes. Wow.. what an amazing watch. She was able to find the “Made in Japan” variant. I hear it doesn’t matter, but someone thought enough for them to add “Made in Japan” on both the Dial and the caseback. So I might as well enjoy it. Thank you for these two videos showcasing the SRPF77 & SRPF79 with amazing close ups and macro shots!! ❤️❤️

Smart! Moody blue.These (and the Turtle) totally punch above their weight. I mean, seriously - that's a lot of watch for £500. And people bitch that Seiko only make expensive watches now... Still think Samurais are too big and bulky though. +1 on the Turtle. But, super nice straps. Accordion straps were designed to fit wetsuits - the stretch deals with wetsuit compression without going loose (like bracelets). Modern rubber/silicon has enough stretch anyway, so no need for the accordion folds.

Love the new SRPF79 in this vid and really like that new strap design. I actually prefer it's muted look compared to the slightly older one on SRPE37. Looks cleaner...however...now I gotta wait to see your new 🐢 SRPF77 so I can decide which one to get for daily wear....decisions decisions 🤔😅

Beautiful watch! I am surprised I am really liking the Samurai case shape, it is so comfortable and balanced on wrist even more so than the turtle which I love on wrist. Both are king models, one black one green, which I wear on stock Seiko rubber usually, so light. The curious thing is for bracelets I prefer a standard straight lug Stapcode O bracelet over any fitted end link bracelet stock or other. Why? For some reason the fit on wrist is superior and the polished ends of the cases are then exposed and can be viewed and appreciated. Also stock Seiko spring bars can be used so you won't wallow the lugs like collared bars can. Both run amazing +2-3 seconds a day and brought back to zero positionally at rest. Great tools.

How can people mindlessly repeat the same crap over and over again?? I've had 2 dozen seikos and only 2 ever had this problem, both easily and quickly fixed. It' not nearly as prevalent as the sheeple make it out to be, and the QC issue arises from production in far greater numbers than Seiko's Swiss counterparts, most of which are no better but often cost 3 times as much.
@TheNeybor
@TheNeybor 3 жыл бұрын
@@varanid9 I’ll tell you how. People are tired of buying Seikos, a brand they love, paying hard earned cash for a watch with a flaw they have to stare at daily. At a price point of nearly $700, something like this shouldn’t be on the market. I can understand a slight misalignment on a more affordable model. And even then, Seiko is by far the largest Japanese watch manufacturer today, they have state of the art production equipment. The fact that consumers are still seeing problems like these tells us two things, they don’t care or are oblivious. You can decide which option you like better. Regardless, even at the error rate you mentioned, (nearly %10) that means out of every 10 watches, one is misaligned. That’s honestly unacceptable.

I own the watch and it is beautiful, however, i have just sent it back after owning it for a few weeks. The alignment of the chapter ring and the indices is off, not by much but enough to notice everytime i looked at the watch. I wish they would sort out their QC on watches, it makes me reluctant to buy another seiko!!!

How about the accuracy on the wrist with the 4r35a? The watch is indeed beautiful but I've always felt like passing up the Samurais because of the movement. Once you get used to COSC it's hard to go back to lower accuracy movements.

Hello, live and without the studio light do you see the black dial or are the waves and the manta ray perfectly perceived? I have seen both videos of this samurai and now I am in doubt because I like the strap of this one more but I am not sure if I will like the dial the same. I would like to know your opinion, by the way your reviews are very complete. Thanks

Its harder to see the rays in normal lighting. A darken dial but you can still see them if you look good.

@@EscapementWatch Thanks. I guess my eyes we’re playing tricks on me. You might be right actually about the Dark Manta Ray color being preferred over the brighter one. The other Manta Ray color dial seems very bright.

Hey FT..just wondering if you've reviewed the Turtle Version SRPF77 yet? I'm definitely going to purchase one or the other...leaning towards Samurai but want to see your review of the turtle Dark STO before pulling the trigger. Really interested to see which one you prefer as I know you're more of a turtle fan (size wise)

I'm about to take a decision to buy this one over here in Europe. One small question I have is about the cyclops. Is the date legible through the cyclops in different angles or do you need to seriously turn your wrist in order to see the date through that cyclops? I had the experience recently with the Prospex Shogun diver titanium SPB189J1 with which I had to turn my wrist seriously to see the date properly. Thanks.
