My Most Favorite Japanese Automatic Dive Watch: The SEIKO Baby MarineMaster Prospex SPB077J1 SBDC061

[@gregoryhills283]

A bit of advice man for your next review. You dont need to be in every shot! People are more interested in the watch than your head. A simple voice over will suffice.

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

Thanks for your advice Gregory. I am actually trying out different approaches.

[@garyk8285]

Its a great watch tbh.. It wears smaller because if you measure the width of the bezel its aroiund 40.5mm-41mm. So it wears accordingly. It tends to look large in photo's, but on the wrist it wears totally normal size imho. Mine had been averaging +5 seconds accuracy per day out of the box in the first week of wear, but soon after it was averaging closer to +2secs per day.

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

That is a fantastic accuracy. I agree with you on how “normal sized” it actually feels on the wrist!

[@SeikoLeaks]

to anyone reading this if you don't like the hands of the watch ( I didn't like them too) because they don't look like the original , they sell the 3 hand assembly of both aftermarket $29usd or original hands on ebay for about $120+usd. takes the watch another step closer to the original 👌

[@ebiedog]

Nice video but would prefer to see longer and close up shots of the watch itself. Just my thoughts.

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

Thank you Justin 👍🏻

[@tynannida9642]

Thought all of these were made in Japan, some just have a different model numbers depending on where they are sold

[@sabdousert3278]

t's the best review for seiko spb077j1 thanks

[@abramwinne]

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

Thanks Abram!

Hello, Is there a difference between SBDC061 and SPB077J1 watch ?? Does the watch has Case coating: Dia shield ?? thank you for the information

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

Hi there, not really a difference from my understanding. It has to do with the market it is aimed for. Case coating yes! Also check this article: www.gnomonwatches.com/prospex-200m-automatic-black-baby-mm-ref-sbdc061 “The SBDC061/63 are the “Japanese Domestic Model” equivalents of the international model SPB077/79. As the name implies, they are meant only for the Japanese market.”

[@ceferistul05]

agreed it's a big watch for a gentleman but it wears surprisingly small

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

I agree with you! Absolutely love this watch. The dimensions on paper look absolutely intimidating for my small wrist. In practice it wears quite well 😁

[@horrorfreaklondon3037]

Depends how big the gentleman is!

[@benjaminbradshaw3995]

you have been given the wrong box, this watch is not part of the save the ocean collection

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

That is a shame to be honest. Would like to have the Save The Ocean Collection box.

You sold the Seiko SNZF17K1 because it was too big. And now this one? ;-)

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

Fair point sir. I have sold the SNZF17 for several reasons. It’s a great piece but I was looking for something different. My new purchase is huge indeed. But it wears somehow quite nice so far. Totally like it. I wouldn’t mind a smaller lug to lug distance and a narrower strap however ;)

[@razvanon]

what's your wrist size?

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

6.3 inches 😁

[@indonesiawatchreview9276]

Gadgets for Gentlemen bro are u sure your wrist 6.3inch? The watch looks sits nicely on top ur wrist

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

Hi sir, my wrist now measures 16,5 cm = 6.5 inches. Hope this helps you figure out the size 😁

[@Elmer1953]

Why in the fuck do seiko always make their watches so big?! Almost the perfect diver

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

A size smaller would even be better

[@adamski101]

It's too small! It needs to be 45mm but wears smaller than a 41mm.

[@Seriously140]

Show the damn watch! I don't want to see your mouth running.

[@mctruehunter]

Beautiful watch. What are your thoughts on it after having it for a few years?

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

I still love it. However since I got the Omega I hardly wear other watches.

[@mctruehunter]

@@GadgetsforGentlemen yeah I imagine I’d do the same. Cheers mate 👍

[@GadgetsforGentlemen]

Thanks a lot! Will probably sell this one honestly. Fantastic watch. However I am saving for the Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue to alternate with the Seamaster Diver 300.

[@mctruehunter]

@@GadgetsforGentlemen good choice mate, all class.
