FINALLY GOT THEM - SEIKO 5 GMT WATCHES SSK003 SSK001 SSK005

[@heysmitty1231]

From what I understand the insert is hardlex as well...

[@denisalg1171]

I look forward to that video. I would consider cannibalising an SSK to build a Pepsi GMT in a Willard or Turtle OEM case but not with the SSK dial and I doubt any 4R/6R date only Seiko OEM dial would fit the 4R34 because I suspect the dial hole for the hands needs to be larger to fit this movement.

[@bongkem2723]

Seiko is killing the Rolex Batman with that blue one :)))

[@KissakiShinobi]

I just ordered an SSK001 yesterday and plan to mod it to a Rolex Explorer II GMT with white dial... I hope I can get it done...

[@TriniDaChief]

Does the Orange dial have cream colored markers or is that white?

[@carloscontreras3633]

Are these already delivered in Los Angeles?

[@jpribeiro7694]

I completely understand your feelings about this watch. I received my beautiful Orange SSK005 a couple weeks ago and I could not be happier. The wait was horrible. The day it came I literally ran to the post office and ran home. With shaking hands I opened, examined, and sized the stunning jubilee bracelet. It has found a home on my wrist and it will be a long time before it has found its match. Love your vids! Thank you for inspiration and knowledge!

[@thisoldbelair]

I’m so stoked for these. Might wait a year or two for prices to come down, but wow 🔥 i gotta have the blue one

[@hunwa425]

I've already seen someone take about the 4r34 and upgrade a 6r35 to have a gmt function. looks awesome (similar to how you can add a day wheel to an NE15)

[@MinuteMon]

The black one is my favorite 😍 I have a feeling you’re going to be busy answering Q’s about these Seiko 5s 😆

[@LumeShot]

im in sos mode 😂

[@HenryDarr]

Quick question. Can you do a Sapphire mod with the cyclops ?

[@tuzu1758]

Do you know if you can insert a bezel spring?

[@8upJoker]

I just picked up the orange 🍊 and the blueberry. $584 for both of them!!!

[@steven3379]

I do like the orange one! Thanks for the heads-up 👍

[@d05wtt]

When I first saw it, I was like “ewww, wtf?” But now it’s growing on me and might be the one I end up getting.

[@donkeytime1704]

I have an Skx, a Sprd and now waiting for the Ssk model and my question is. Do the bracelets or straps interchange?

[@monroelouisa6786]

Ehm ok, the Explorer Hommage from Pagani Design is also a mechanical GMT and only costs 130$. No hate towards the Seiko but it sounded like there are no cheaper gmts than that. And if you dont like hommages im sure the movement used in the PD is also in some other watch

[@dmarcellus]

With the bezel, can you mod and apply a bezel spring so it will click? In other words- does the bezel have clicking underneath it?

[@brakmaster]

I just bought the black one at a ridiculous price of 373 euros. I'm literally waiting to receive it within the next few hours. I am so excited.

[@thetruebatman4632]

Ugh, man they’re killer. Good call on the Batman but they’re all beautiful. The bezel is interesting, no click friction only… I guess i’ll have to buy so I can get to the bottom of this.

[@DemoBallers]

Do you think the bracelet could be changed to a rubber strap?

[@richman5062]

want the orange when will it arrive here in the Philippines?

[@milanchristi7939]

Picked a blue one up this morning.I've got skinny wrists but it fits just fine and looks awesome. I, too, was anxious to see a GMT at this price point.Very nice addition to the collection.

[@okay3944]

lol thats the only reason why i prob wont get one, stupidly skinny wrists dont work well with watches

[@persona-non-grata]

@@okay3944 Same here man, feels bad. I can push a watch up to barely 40mm in dial before it looks like I'm wearing Big Ben on my wrist. 36mm to 38mm is the sweet spot for me, so I have a Timex Reissue GMT 38mm Quartz that came out a couple months ago instead.

[@montmorg]

Excuse my ignorance here, but where can you buy this?

[@vincentviera9105]

What is your accuracy per day

[@tobiasrottenbach1769]

Once again, Seiko rocks it.

[@established_1803]

i love seiko. i want to get one of their higher end models but i use and abuse my skx011j and it adds character and still performs. i bought it new old stock from japan for 200 bucks and the serial numbers matched up when i received it. it only loses three minutes a day almost seven years on. my gshocks busted after a years use in the trades but i didnt care cause you can buy those for 50 bucks at walmart

[@established_1803]

it legit hasnt been serviced since it was brand new in 2008 lol

[@DM-hd4xm]

Great looking watch, hopefully I can get the blue one, the price is excellent as well as the quality of Seiko watches.

[@cviddy]

Mine comes in Thursday. Can't wait to see the modability when the chance arises.

[@johnmcpherson6800]

I can't believe Seiko made a GMT that is affordable..! I can't wait to buy the NH version of this movement

[@DrWatch-fq3tf]

Here's an odd question, can you add a bezel click spring?

[@jourdan1200]

No. Different mounting of bezel. Different bezel also.

[@jackfpv8904]

Yes, but... You need to swap case to slx007 which is widely available from aftermarket vendors. You will need to get another stem too.

[@jonathandoughy3430]

Very curious about the ability of putting an SKX/5KX 60-minute bezel on it. That would make it the ultimate watch!

[@CydeWeys]

Really depends on whether you can get it to click.

[@robertlindo8058]

it would have been better if they had kept the 60 minute timing bezel instead of the GMT one. Much more useful for general use. it is what is, I guess.

[@Mimi_polo]

Picking up my SSK001 from Derek at Carat & Co. tomorrow. He’s the man and the store itself is my favorite authorized dealer in the NYC area. I bought my SPB143 from them last year and they were great. Huge selection of brands like Omega, Cartier, and Zenith to browse through as well. Awesome work with this video. Love the intro shot with the three models all side by side. So clean

[@alexyohanes8397]

Are srpd055 and ssk001 has the same material and movement? Which one will you choose between 2 of thems?

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

The blue dial is killer!

[@silicon_hairspring]

Great video! Shout out to Derek @Carat & Co, they run a great operation.

[@LumeShot]

For sure!! Derek is the.. mon

[@andrelopez9569]

Are the bezels interchangeable with SRPD models?

[@Sov92]

Can't wait to see what kind of GMT you end up making.

[@jevgenijivanov6824]

Much more I waiting from Seiko 7548-7000 / 7C43-7010 reissue with 7C46 and sapphire

[@corychecketts]

I just picked up the blue version, too! The deeper I get into watches I always seem to come back to Seiko. The brand really makes me question why I spend more on other watches.

[@vincentviera9105]

How is the accuracy what are you getting per day

[@mikev11]

At this rate we're going to see a Seiko Minute-Repeater for under a grand ! Jokes aside though, it's refreshing to see Seiko incorporate a variation of a high horology complication to a 500 dollar watch. It'll allow new enthusiasts and budget collectors to get their hands on a proper timepiece with a working complication without breaking the bank.

[@nanhinting7447]

Good presentation with impecable English.

[@caseymaroney5028]

Just ordered a blue one...cant wait!!

[@cactivation07]

Thanks for sharing these watches with us!

[@vincentviera9105]

Good vide bro Derek's my ad I got my Marine master and my Willard from there as well as the 53 mos

[@TotakTosong]

Cant wait for the movement to be available, I’m sure all watch mod guy is looking forward to build their own GMT soon.

[@Sov92]

diy watch has had it on their site for like a week now. it's out of stock now though.

[@jasontaylor7215]

Awsome been waiting for a seiko GMT. Eric will there be a aftermarket GMT movement from TMI or SII?

[@zogzog1063]

Great reporting as always - so thumbs up from me. Still, a gmt why? Who in the age of mobile phones (or before for that matter?) needs a gmt. Second - oh no! The dreaded clyclops - the wart - the tumor. NOOOooooo!!!!

[@justmeeagainn]

I need to spend an extra $300.00 on my Seiko 5, even if I don’t use a GMT, or even understand why it’s there or how it works. It’s my right to do this as a rich idiot.

[@d05wtt]

1) who uses a gmt in the “age of mobile phones?” I could ask…who uses a watch in the age of mobile phones? I actually do use a GMT watch when I travel overseas. I’m not carrying my $1600 iphone around for people to steal. And using my phone in another country…in some countries you need to activate a service or get a SIM card. Who am I calling there? So I’m gonna either leave the phone at home or in the hotel safe. 2) I agree with you…the cyclops is ugly. But, unfortunately I (and many others) need it. I’ve got other Seiko watches where I can’t see the date without whipping out the reading glasses.

[@julianmoriati4682]

Thanks for sharing these watches!

[@df0rce]

Can this be modded to properly clicking bezel? thanks

[@bogdanz4335]

What about a comparison with orient kamasu mako III?

[@Tunnelsnakes]

Are these too large for 6.5 inch wrists?

[@philipwong454]

Thank you for sharing features of these watches. It really helps me in deciding whether to buy one.

[@LumeShot]

Glad to hear!

[@harkatdz]

Did you try spb187?

[@michaelmiceli4326]

Where do I buy one of these?

[@hawkmoe2789]

What is the point of a "dive watch" that can't get wet?

[@LumeShot]

Its a gmt

[@tommycrue71]

The blue one looks really nice ! Do you think you can swim with these models ? Even though there’s no screwed down crown ?

[@LumeShot]

Maybe in still water, but I personally wouldn't risk it

[@andrew-zs2nx]

Holiday sales are right around the corner guys. You can wait maybe $400-430 range

[@ruddyteck]

which model number is the one shown at 0:33?

[@furzkram]

The bezel is covered in hardlex too

[@LeeePowers]

Microbrand GMT epidemic is pending!! GMT pandemic, rather. I've already heard it's a tad thicker than a 4R35,so SKX cases might not work. But SOMEONE will make a case to fit this.

[@TOShorts]

At that price I will simply buy the movement, update the dial, and add a sapphire crystal all for much cheaper.

[@Papilikes1]

I'll be looking forward to the disassemble video.

[@PwnageJ]

will you ever buy a Grand seiko? do you love or hate them?

[@369MatteGrey]

Thanks! Looking forward to your next video !

[@tayebntamam1625]

if you can replace the hours and the hands with tritium gas capsules then i would most certainly be interested in comissioning a mod

[@kikomachine8276]

Ordered the Orange one, can't wait

[@Bonpu]

Awesome movement but the - apart from their SKX heritage - rather generic and low-spec watches are not for me. I even think they look a bit cheap - which they are being Seiko Fives. Looking forward to microbrands' offers while cherishing my DressKX.

[@chevyguy2346]

Can’t wait to see what YOU can do with these!

[@ItsNeverTooHot4Leather]

Ahh, the upcoming mods, the glorious glorious mods!!!

[@jackstringfellow1254]

Hi I have finished my watch this weekend

[@extradimensional8818]

I like Seiko watches however I think there prices are over the top for what you get' I would rather get a San Martin or a steeldive with either sw200 Swiss made movement or a NH35a Japanese movement just the same as Seiko use but with sapphire class and ceramic bezel fitted as standard for a fraction of the price.✌️🧐🇬🇧🇺🇦

[@justinscott7492]

First mod: Sapphire....nice grab!

[@TheScubaboy56]

I purchased the black/grey one last week. Really disappointed about the black/grey color 'washout' on the bezel. As you say, it's extreemly difficult to see the grey in certain lights.

[@siraudzvlog4533]

I got the batman and I love it!!❤

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Another great video brother!

[@smay_75]

How about making a gmt samurai using one 🤔

[@Cinestudi0]

The orange one with black rubber strap

[@AngelSilverFourtySeven]

Great video … 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@boayoon8715]

These would be good in a 38mm case

[@RadYOacTVe]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this!

[@ovehp4077]

Looking forward to the modding-potential video!

[@jhonsenliandi1]

and what colour you like ?

[@GR-gq1us]

Wen mod?

[@theannouncer5538]

Seiko is driving me up the wall with this hardlex😂

[@Joe-yi8xj]

White dial gonna be the one

[@maxhamilton8204]

Yeah I am in the same club: wait a bit and buy the blue for lower price later.

[@ctn830]

It was a big mistake for Seiko not use Sapphire crystal. And for the bezel not to click is upsetting.

[@jasonborne5724]

Seiko shouldn’t hate you, they should be copying some of your innovative builds, like your MM300 mod with the extra lumed bezel and crown. It’s better than Seiko’s current MM300 and something they could easily adopt.

[@watchmewatch9]

That SSK001....🖤🖤😎😎😍😍

[@lkinzey1]

I kinda wished that I didn't see this video. Because I really Love this watch. Now I have to get one

[@stevensteven3417]

Bring back the Skx with an up to date movement, no more toy watches.

[@viperz888]

What does hacking mean?

[@TheGekko64]

When you pull the crown out to adjust the hands, the second hand stops. It was designed to more accurately set the time and synchronize with others.

[@christhe812]

Had no idea these just came out, but I came by the orange one in a store today, and I just had to buy one. Not sure if I'll keep it though because it was a little expensive at 550 USD.

[@chrismc2016]

Shop around. I got one for 415 usd

[@jxp3632]

475 USD?? nahhh these are 600 usd in korea its a shame

[@wristcandy5451]

Home run by Seiko

[@nathanwabre]

Why isn’t it a “true gmt” about these new Seiko in your opinion?

[@Emanuel_carey]

That’s not a jubilee bracelet. That’s a Rolex thing

[@rhodes1591]

ye, moddit, moddit, moddit !

[@justmeeagainn]

Seiko 5 costs about $200.00. This costs almost $500.00. For an extra hand. That almost nobody really needs. Maybe I’m missing something, but is it worth shelling out an extra $300.00 for this? I guess if money doesn’t mean anything to you. If you want a watch with a useless, not “true” GMT, why not just buy a Pagani? They’re only $87.00 on Amazon now.

[@workingtools2999]

Relax man. Its a GMT for only $500.

[@gunnersforlife7796]

This will end up like 5kx , a total disaster once the hype is over.A brilliant move by seiko to lure those who miss out on skx.If you want a skx, get a skx.

[@-silent-6480]

Go mod them, make it a proper skx gmt

[@speedypaul2314]

How many folks actually need this function rather than just want it?

[@LumeShot]

I think 90% of us dont need any of this lol

[@speedypaul2314]

@@LumeShot correct. I can't get excited about gmts at all.
