You are amazing! The realist watch channel ever! Just fantastic. Simple recording with real talk - the wife - cat! I would love to do a video with you, perhaps a split screen (no clue how to do it) as really the king of my favorite brand - SEIKO! So much respect for you and what you do!

Thank you very much, I really do appreciate it.

My wife agrees with you, Sabrina, all black seiko divers look the same to her!

I've come across 3D printed aftermarket parts, 56XX day-date corrector, 6117 inner bezel toot ring, among others. The former were not up to scratch yet; printing resolution not fine enough, and too fragile.

Regarding water resistance, I've read two schools of thought, that a screw down crown adds to the WR, or that it doesn't but prevents the stem from being accidentally pulled out while underwater. What say you?

So, interested in what you think, I should do if anything. Just bought a brand new SLA053 with crazy blue dial. Was keeping -1+3 a day and 0 beat error. Well, dropped if from 4 feet onto a hard surface and landed squarely on the Crystal without even a ding. Now running with a beat error that fluctuates from .3 to 1.5 or greater while still keeping ok time. Seiko will accept as beat error issue (dont know I dropped). What are your thoughts if any? Would you send to seiko to correct beat error? Thanks so much for being the Seiko King!

Hi Spencer and Sabrina! Recent subscriber to your amazing channel. Im coming back to Seiko recently and if you dont mind me asking do you have any experience with the Shogun? If not do you have a favourite modern seiko diver you would encourage to look into? My budget would be up to £2-3k. Thank you for reading. Your work is a treasure, best wishes to you and family

Too late to wear a watch for me, was wearing my San Martin, my daily watch :)

For vintage watches, 3d printing will not produce a finely tuned and delicate pieces for watches, its not like 3d printing in vintage car industry that is booming right now
