I can never quit this watch - REBUY NUMBER 5

[@juniorgallo8786]

The 8L35 is one aspect that should always be highlighted, one of Seiko's best moviments, no plastic parts and Grand Seiko top quality level. Unfortunately we don't see this level of craftsmanship, parts quality and QC in many expensive Seikos in the Prospex, Presage etc lines using the 4r35 or 6r35 movements. In the 8L35 line they stated the range of +/- 10 seconds a day but I believe it's just a way of avoiding any legal issues, just for safety sakes. it's a damn accurate movement, as I was told and also information available online. Congrats for the purchase. Great videos. Keep uploading, man!!!! Wish I had a bigger wrist. Not for me.

[@BruceWilliams]

Agreed, the 8L is ab excellent movement and everyone I have tried as been reliable and accurate. Big fan

[@juniorgallo8786]

@@BruceWilliams I'd love to see this movement inside the Presage watch cases :) That would be great because those really beautiful well-finished dials deserve a more reliable heart but frankly, we know well Seiko' will never do that. It would be an unwanted unfortunate competition between Seiko and Grand seiko don't you agree?

[@BruceWilliams]

@@juniorgallo8786 100 percent. There needs to be a clear distinction level between presage and grand seiko. I also doubt that Seiko could make enough of the 8Ls along side the 9s to meet demand from both segments

I will stick with my 2004 SBDX001. Would never let go of it

[@roziroslan7891]

Me too..love my unique,beutiful sbdx001

[@pascal8943]

I have the original "modern" marinemaster (SBDX001) in my collection since many years and I fully understand your crazyness about this watch. I have bought other dive watches since this one (in particular the very nice Omega seamaster 300 white ceramic you also have) but strangly no other dive watch have the same attraction on me. This watch is a real cult among real divers (I remember at the time when I bought it, I frequent some specialized dive watch forum and the marinemaster was as respected as the Rolex submariner by many). I quite agree with you: videos never render the beauty of this watch... you really need to have it in the metal to feel its quality and see the beauty of the finishing. I just regret the new version does not have the "marinemaster'" name on it ... just this sad prospect "X"

[@BruceWilliams]

Nailed it. The mm300 has a specialness to it that has to be seen in person to fully understand

[@lavyanagdev8229]

How long can you keep the mm300 before servicing it ?what’s the daily accuracy of the watch?

[@pascal8943]

@@lavyanagdev8229 Mine is a 10 year old watch. I have nerver serviced it and it still goes ok... at beginning it was around +2-3 s a day now it is more +10-+15s which I do not bother. I think seiko send them back to Japan for servicing... don t know the price

[@BruceWilliams]

I love that one! I also love the blue textured dial but think it would look better in non coated steel

[@liamboncodin1785]

That insert needs a lume pip. I miss the old mm300 lune pip. It adds character to the watch

[@watchyouwant1617]

From Seikopath to Seikopath: good decision. I made several rebuys but hope, that my SLA023 will stay forever. Love the watch

[@Pcfly]

I have an SLA047, the black/green Marinemaster, my first one and I saved and saved for it. Bruce, it’s not just you, there’s just something about these particular models! Good on you for finding that one and for just admitting you like it……it’s a badass watch dude! Enjoy it!

[@dirkdutzmann9250]

Man, I totaly can understand you, completely! This watch is a special one and in the time between buing some weeks ago and now, it becomes a part of my body! In the past, I´ve always look for a watch, that would fixed me, but all I can find was boring! Then I come up to this, seen this watch on so many videos over a longer time, but 3 weeks ago, I get one, told me, It´s the best I could get for my money! Polish, technik, bracelet, Saphireglas, Ceramicbazle, the enotmous weight and all the other parts are more than more you could not find on another watch in sthis pricerange, never! My black one is the best choise I could get! No blue, no green, black is the colour you should where, in my opinion! Black is the origin and that's the way it should be, everything else is nothing but fads. Thank you for let us see your minds! It´s my opinium, but still know, you will agree! Great video, thank you for uploding!

[@entroheat]

Nice vocabulary is it originally German language?

[@willielarsson9651]

I see this as a "going on a summer holiday " piece, would look amazing in the sea or in the pool or going out in the evening .. seems to fit all situations. And it really pops!

It's Friday 🙂 Bruce has a new video 😀 It's a Marinemaster 😁

[@arindambasu9850]

Seiko rules. Especially the higher end ones. The Tuna is one more such gem which you love more and more once you start wearing it. And wears superbly on average sized wrists.

[@entroheat]

I confer to that and totally agree with you but others still imagine mall seiko is all seiko there is.

[@MikeOBrien1945]

LOL…I think that you’re just addicted to the unboxing experience. Great looking watch, though.

[@BruceWilliams]

I certainly love new watch day, no denying that! But there is something about the mm300 specifically that gets to me

Seriously Brucemeister how do you do it a different watch every few days. 😂😉

[@BruceWilliams]

Lol I won't be buying anything new for a little while.... Maybe

[@juanriv01]

How many times has Rolex changed the text on the submariner? No one really talks about it because it’s a sub. I would’ve loved the Marinemaster name but the watch has gotten better with time. The 300mm has an identity that is all it’s own. I’m glad I have 2 and that they still look timeless.

hey bruce, great review. finally pulled the trigger and got an mm300. but i really wanted the OG sbdx001, they are crazy expensive on the secondary market so i was able to source a NOS sbdx017 (second version). something about the purist in me wanted the text marine master on the dial instead of that prospex symbol. the alumium bezel insert and hardlex crystal are more retro too.

nice bruce, congrats! was thinking about pulling the trigger on a mm300 a few days ago but then sinn released the limited "103 classic 12" and i immediately had to go for this one instead of the mm300 :D this hobby is crazy! you think of getting a watch for a few days and then suddenly something else gets released and you throw all the money on that other option in a few seconds :D maybe i am more of an impulse buyer than a rebuyer :D allthough i already rebought a seiko turtle, a full metal square and a hamilton khaki field :D

[@Romio666]

You are not alone ! I fell in love with MM once I got the ocean blue SLA023 @ limited time 50% discount for AED 1.7K. I exchanged it with the Green SLA019 and paid USD 817 extra. It didn’t stop here..😀 while checking other models on KZbin, I had a crush over this 🐬 and got it for USD 2.72K. I am still thinking 🤔 to add the Ocean Blue again, yet I am on the wishlist for a Tudor Pelagus MN22 FXD. What do you think 🤔?!

[@kinspired9416]

Hey Bruce, really enjoyed the video, thanks. I would love to see this next to the LX, which is one of my favourite divers. Cheers from the UK!

[@Csibu89]

There's a few aftermarket straps for these, some manufacturers do a waffle rubber strap with nicely fitted end, marries with the case perfectly. Probably a better more comfortable option than the stock bracelet.

[@chrisgravel7157]

I have a great local dealer that had the new Green special editions. I put this on, the MM200, Sumo, Samuari, old MM200, and new Shogun. I own a San Martin Sumo Homage, Omega Semaster, Tag link and a few others. The MM300 dial is soo good, the finish fantastic, the bracelet is good, its no Seamaster bracelet BUT its porportions just dont quite work its too thick. Make it 13mm and I'd be ordering it tomorrow

It’s a beautiful timepiece but I sold mine. Owning one was a wonderful experience but I have recently downsized my Seiko collection from a dozen to just two.

[@mojosdad68]

Nice to see some effort put into the seconds hand. The standard gold ones look so rough around the edges. Seiko really needs to update that bracelet, the long links do look out of place and as you say - make for a mostly miss when it comes to fit.

[@MohammedKhaled-ju7gy]

Bruce, don’t fight your desires. Accept it, it’s okay to have more watches than you can practically wear

Put a marine master side by side with any Tudor, you will see the noticeable difference in quality

@@andygregory2145 I think you mean in favor of marine master because I do honestly have both and yes bracelet is not as good as Tudor but watch itself with polishing and dial marks and hands details is way above Tudor and I may say submariner.
