On the Wrist, from off the Cuff: Seiko Prospex - SPB411 Land Mechanical GMT, Navigator Timer Reissue

[@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78]

Now that is pretty. I really like the bracelet.

Your tumbnail is my dream picture of all times....oh my god took alot of screenshots!!!!!!

[@todoroki]

Brilliant review and comparison. Also, great watch and worth the $.

[@4by_yotaguy373]

Another good video. Although I do get a bit squeamish on spending mid $1k+ on a Seiko, I think this piece is well executed. And I love how you do the alternating variable light shots in your vids. You're the only one I've ever seen you that and I find it very helpful and enjoy it. 👍

[@scotthayes2652]

Another top Seiko review from Mark and a multi review as well 🎉

[@tightlines106]

Thank you

[@limacuan]

The Seiko 5 Sports reissue did not disappoint and I bought it after handling it in person, I think this might be the case as well for the Navigator Timer... Nice review as always!

[@9r393]

I think it looks great. Tried one on the other day.

[@antoniolosito8431]

Bellissimi Seiko!!! Ma che bracciale hai messo sul 5 sport?? Bello!

[@salimovruslan3080]

great video thank you

[@ronin7106]

Truly lovely! Thanks for the review. Just curious though, does the Navigator's bracelet for the SLA017 being 19mm as well? Thanks.

[@Ahmad-vw5uw]

Almost perfect watch for water sports and also is luxury style for business wear. Great movement with 72 hours power reserve. However; it lacks a signed crown, for such price category. Best regards from Egypt.

[@Zissou44]

Thanks for this review! I am in love with the gray sunburst dial on the SLA017. The one on the SPB143 seems just a notch or two below in comparison (less dynamic). What do you think about dial of the SPB411 and the SLA017?

[@AverageBros]

Less dynamic is a good way to put it, more shades of grey vs. how the SLA017 has deeper streaks of almost black

[@tuhkathri9126]

I wonder if that bracelet would work with the SRPK17 or the SRPL03 🤔

[@AverageBros]

@@tuhkathri9126 no, it won't

[@BlackwoodHinterlandVibes360]

I just read the description on the german Seiko homepage: the case and the bracelet have a scratch-resistant coating. Everone only mentioned the Saphire glas, but not that there is a coating.

[@AverageBros]

I mentioned it, it's in the beginning of the video spelled out on the spec's overview

[@BlackwoodHinterlandVibes360]

@@AverageBros Dia-Shield?

[@AverageBros]

@@BlackwoodHinterlandVibes360 yes, that is what they call their super hard coating in the JDM market

[@machlojki]

Do you know if SPB411 bracelet fits SJE093 / SLA017?

[@DenisMcD]

Beautiful watch, insane price for that movement

[@hammalamiri12]

What else is compatible that looks so good from a brand with a worldwide AD / service network? Oh and has so much heritage?

[@martina6212]

What model number is that seiko 5?

[@mosquitojoyride]

Does the navigator bracelet fit the sla017?

[@surfmorworkless]

Total watch noob here. Does that coating wear off after a few years or anything? Serious question. Sorry if it sounds very uninformed.

[@AverageBros]

No problem, with hard enough wear, yes, it can potentially be worn away in some spots, but it would take a deliberate effort to remove the coating completely, which I've never seen anyone done before. Worst case scenario, you have a lighter spot without the coating and best case, it just protects superficial scuffs and keeps looking pretty great for a very long time. I have a few older models with this coating, and they've held up great over the years.

[@surfmorworkless]

@ Thank you for the kind response. Very appreciated. Best regards.

[@wjlevien]

Best watch reviewer on KZbin. Did you end up buying this piece for your own collection?

[@AverageBros]

Thank you, and yes I sure did 😄

[@wjlevien]

Worth the price, in your opinion? I'm thinking about picking one up myself. Was able to find a deal at an AD for $1,175

[@AverageBros]

@@wjlevien yes, I didn't pay retail either and I think it's well worth the price you have available

[@valebliz]

Yeah can't deal with a 6r for 1700€, sorry Seiko.

[@theenavybluemonster]

I must resist and suppress the Seikohead in me.

[@JB-qt8eh]

I prefer the new seiko 5 ssk023, my price range. This is too expensive for 6r movement.

[@icas80]

Seiko and Citizen are both smoking meth with their GMT pricing.

[@jamesblonde2271]

Fantastic watch or would be at a grand........

[@blairdalgleish8247]

Seiko really pisses me off with their hit and miss quality control

[@hammalamiri12]

Seiko quality control has been amazing for me - I only buy from my trusted reputable AD or the GA boutique in London. Sure if you buy from some random grey market place it can be hit and miss.

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Sorry but after 30 years they lost My custom. I still see new Seiko watches that pull My heart but My brain takes over to remind Me of the miss alignment on the bezels I've had and worse the crooked applied numerals. I sent three watches back to Seiko and they replaced two and the last replacement was faulty with a different problem. The third one I got a refund as I was truly sick of them.. I must say the watches in the video are gorgeous! Thanks for the video and Your perspective on the watches.

[@timmcdonald5335]

There should not be these problems but to avoid them you can buy them at the store so you can check before you buy or only buy one which has been manufactured in Japan.

[@dustinr16]

Agree 100%. Seiko’s prices are ludicrous. This watch is $2,150 MSRP in Canada. That’s insane. I bought a Seiko SPB313 slim turtle last year (got it for 30% off from a local dealer) and the 6R35 is horrible. It was running g +40 spd. I tried demagnetizing it and now it runs -20 spd. Seiko has great designs, nice case finishing and great dials, but there are way too many quality control issues for the asking price. Seiko keeps increasing the prices but has done nothing to improve the quality of the movements (accuracy) or ensure better quality control (misalignment). I won’t be buying any mid-tier Seiko’s without a huge discount going forward.

[@Zwei200123]

I don't know if it was your camera or you're using some kind of filter applied to the video, the watch looks so cheap in this video comparing to other reviews videos on KZbin...

[@seanhickling7340]

Perfect? With that horrendous price tag? That's a massive no. Seiko really are taking the **** out of their own fanboys who just continually lap their 💩 up without question.
