SEIKO KING Samurai SRPE37 Full Review | White Waffle Dial Seiko Samurai - 2020 Seiko Catalog Divers

[@fhaquuu]

Love this watch. It’s a lot like the Shogun but less costly. Best value Seiko IMO with lots of dial options. Hopefully Seiko keeps improving and offering this in their lineup

[@EscapementWatch]

Agreed

[@metalslug26]

Got my White Samurai SRPE37 yesterday. It's gorgeous, wore it to the grocery store and got looks. It will also complement my Gunmetal Samurai SRPB55 that's in my collection.

[@whyFINAL]

I never got looks on my watch, but i recently ordered light blue manta samurai, lets see if the LOOKS are commimg :-D

[@edopelawi]

@@whyFINAL Did you get any looks with the Manta Samurai, bud? :)

[@EscapementWatch]

A Part 2 of Sorts to the Samurai Manta Ray! One of the new King sammys to enjoy! This one I feel I couldn't capture the beauty on my new camera setup So expect a more stunning white in real life! Hope you enjoy anyways bros!

[@kikomachine8276]

Watching your videos is never complete without you hitting the camera... Just kidding! Great review as always... Keep it up!

[@miguelzap9269]

Got mine last week. The one I have says Made in Japan on the dial and everything lines up perfectly. According to the serial number it was built on April of 2021.

[@mezcalycafe8702]

Where did u buy it from ?

[@miguelzap9269]

@@mezcalycafe8702 found it on Amazon. Paid around $480 with shipping included.

[@jayramos4154]

I went for the "Made in Japan " on the white waffle face also paid $ extra and thinking it's authentic and was suspicious with the ones that don't have because majority of them were cheaper and then again it's possible that it could be the later model 🧐🤔 and have that listing added "J1" as... Made in Japan

[@Hard_7_Iron]

The Save the Ocean dial is pretty amazing….😂😂😂 I like this waffle dial trimmed in black. It gives the Seamaster a run for the money in LOOKS.

[@kikomachine8276]

Had to rewatch this video after the purchase last night... I kept ignoring this for months because I was going for the 143 and the 187... Just had to give in FT!

[@johnharrington2400]

which is my favorite. No contest, the white one is unique and breathtaking.

[@Ferardy]

Just got this watch last week. Amazing for my first automatic watch. Thanks

[@EscapementWatch]

Great to hear!

[@tomsterr1904]

White is my favourite. Great contrast with white dial and black bezel

[@donadoni6551]

I like this Vid sooo much ✌✌🥰🥰 It's a beeeaaaaeautiful Samurai king!!! It has amazing Dial !!! Great Vid of you !!!

[@vudo2555]

Still absolutely love the original SKX….sure do wish these would come back as was.

[@canonyeo4286]

Awesome dial. The only white diver in my collection. Good value for $370. For smaller wrist, the trick is to wear bigger watches with straps that tapers more, in this case 22/18. It feels and fits better. A fun watch.

[@EscapementWatch]

Totally agree!

[@CanttReed]

Where did you find this for $370?

[@canonyeo4286]

@@CanttReed in Malaysia. The k models are made by seiko factory in my country. Also, every watch shops sell seiko here. Very competitive. We can also buy from Shopee, our online portal, though already cheap, can still be negotiated.

[@CanttReed]

Canon Yeo ahhh okay. That makes sense. I found one for $425 and hoping to get it by the end of the year

[@canonyeo4286]

@@CanttReed that's good deal too. Where did you get it from?

[@delagarzapaola]

I love mine so much! That white dial on a diver is something else! 👌🏻 great timepiece for the price!

[@shawnlavigne9069]

A lot of owners are reporting threading problems with the smaller crown. I actually prefer the non-sapphire for its larger crown and longer threaded case tube. Agree, the 4r is great.

[@vividist]

What i's meant by threading problem?

[@ROHK]

Aug 2022, got one, and yes threading problem when i tried it first. Lubed the threads and it is ok now.

[@brianjackson708]

"...and the Oris...Kinda...kinda terrible" 😂😂😂😂 I just got the Citizen Promaster with the crown at 8-oclock blue/gold. Too much reflection,...blinding, can't see the second hand. Definitely selling it after seeing this video. Thank you sir!

[@michaelfierman3256]

That poor Oris lume. I may cry myself to sleep. I like that while dial. I’m thinking I need one. Maybe a Sinn 104. Congrats on your collab with that AD. Hope to see some Rado watches here soon !

[@EscapementWatch]

thanks! he has a rare green captain cook. I was thinking i should grab it for a week. :)

[@michaelfierman3256]

Escapement & Watch the green bronze one?

[@EscapementWatch]

im not sure 100% it was behind glass behind the normal display. like a wall display and i didn't look too good at it. next week i'll take a photo and put it on insta. but he said it was the last one in canada or something like that. remember i was busy staring at the seikos

[@MK-hg9vs]

Hello, great video, extremely hard to choose between black and white... Whats the ref. of Oris?

[@Watchandcutgearchannel]

I went with the white waffle… good video

[@Zeratsu]

a neat review. Nice lume, jeez, this gotta be my next achievable dream watch. Does this sapphire crystal really has an anti reflective coating?

[@edopelawi]

Dang this one is a looker. I'm torn between the white dial and the Save the Ocean dial.

[@scottbollinger3641]

Why does everyone hate the magnifier??!!…. It helps you see the date better !

[@Hakuna_My_Tatas]

Wished Seiko would also apply lume on the bezel

[@ahmadghozie8686]

what kind of SKX is that with blue dial ?

[@yemyess]

That watch you compared the lume with...is it really an Skx?...great lume and nice review btw...

[@EscapementWatch]

No I compared it to an ORIS

[@MrDoncarnage]

This watch has intergalactic nanonuclear ultra turbo wanky design. Just love it. If it had sapphire seethrough caseback from factory, It would be the best watch in this universe

[@firemediccolby]

I have not been able to see this dial in person. I love a white / black contrast on a good readable dial. I'm concerned... is this dial washed out or so similar in its colors and structures that contrast and at a glance readability is lost? Thanks!!

[@EscapementWatch]

maybe a bit washed out. but I never had issue reading it.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Nice video 😊👍 really considering this one 😍

[@EscapementWatch]

Good choice

[@EscapementWatch]

Glad you like it!

[@valengreymoon5623]

It's a NO for the "crystal blister". That's a Rolex thing, and they always end up getting chipped. I also was never a fan of that new wide buckle either. I'll take the beefed up narrower style buckle from the Arnie.

[@EscapementWatch]

wearing the padi arnie right now! love the keeper! looks like a 5 dice! lol

[@valengreymoon5623]

@@EscapementWatch I actually took off that metal keeper and replaced it with the same 5 hole from the SKX strap. It doesn't dig into the wrist now. That Arnie strap also makes a better alternative for the SKX.

[@EscapementWatch]

I was thinking the same thing with the strap... put it on my new titanium skx.

[@yorusuyasoul69420]

[@henryperez606]

Put a really, really, really nice bracelet on this watch and I think you’re looking at a watch that compares very favorably with much more expensive watches.

I got the blue manta... its amazing!!!! Im getting this next but i want a metal bracelet... 22mm? Or 18mm? Any help? I'd only wear rubber straps on proper dive computer watches. Feels weird diving with metal bracelet and feels weird above water with a rubber bracelet. My dilemma

[@EscapementWatch]

its 22mm

You didn’t gush over this one as much as you did with the save the ocean haha 😆... I guess we know your favourite.

[@EscapementWatch]

sucker for Blue dials the most!

[@wristwatchtalk]

Escapement & Watch your video has made me really rethink the white dial. I have it and although I really like it I feel it lacks that specialness I was hopping for. Not sure if it’s because I have the white waffle dialled lorier and that watch is perfect 👌 or because I know the save the ocean is out there. Looks extremely gorgeous in the video.

[@saulsolidbeats4462]

what watch has the least beat error in this price range?... been looking for a great watch.

[@EscapementWatch]

It is luck of the draw for seiko low end movements. Don't worry about beat error too much as it shouldn't be a deciding factor in buying a watch.

[@jschoenzy9416]

This looks great and I understand it's appeal but I'm off of seiko for 1 major reason; none of my dozen+ Seiko automatics kept and maintained good time. My skx gets a pass because it was so affordable but my other mid-priced watches were just as poor.

[@Dbrockjohnson]

J Schoenzy not sure what watches you have but I disagree completely ! Seikos are fantastic especially for the money!

[@jschoenzy9416]

@@Dbrockjohnson I'm happy you disagree if it means your satisfied with what Seiko has to offer. I've been all around the block with 6R15s (sarbs, sarx, sarg, sumo) plus many 7S26s and 4rs... none of them were under 10s/day AND stayed there with any consistency. I enjoyed my time with them and they were good value but now that they've been steadily raising their prices the bloom has come off the rose for me. I kept my Tuna, my skx and my Urushi Sarx (which runs +50 sec/day). It's a hobby for crazy people anyway. Enjoy your time with it.

My seikos are so inaccurate, its - +30 seconds and my life is ruined now, lmao. Just get over it

@@wongpantai9710 I know that it hurts to see your favorite brand criticized but I'm certainly not the only one who has walked away from Seiko recently.
