Seiko Prospex SPB147 Seiko Watch Review

[@randyallen2771]

Best looking of all the classic Seiko divers, IMHO.

[@resjon7981]

Definitely.

[@markski7725]

Since purchasing, it literally hasn't left my wrist. Much to the dismay of my rolex explorer!

[@michaelsorrentino3346]

same!!

[@aircommandslipperz]

curious if it is still on your wrist until now?

[@canonyeo4286]

I bought this watch. Love it better now that you reviewed it. Tks

[@canonyeo4286]

Love the straps. Bought 5 more for my other divers.

[@MisterMaster4life]

Thanks for sharing. Not really a big fan of Seiko but this watch is something else. Love the design. Borderline perfect.

[@MattyLMurda]

I can tell you from holding this in my hands today while looking for something completely different I bought it, the dial looks unreal in person, so subtle, so nice

[@stevenuk]

Imagine if that had 'Rolex' on the dial.. people would be having a melt-down.

[@Chef_Alpo]

Not really.

[@joeskeptical4762]

@@Chef_Alpo : *Yes, really many folks would. Not everybody but plenty.*

[@manuel_winde]

If it had Rolex on the dial we’d be moaning about not being able to get it. Also the quality control would be better and it would be more accurate 😂

[@algorithm007ify]

@@manuel_winde ....and cost 10 times more..for no good reason.

[@manuel_winde]

@@algorithm007ify well quality control, limited availability and accuracy are important to some people so we can’t really say “no good reason” 😄

[@Aegisdottir]

Pleasant surprise to see this watch appearing here! Also well done for acquiring a model with perfect alignment at the lume pip, this model is notorious for qc issues there

[@MrTheblackbaron]

You are right, I returned mine because the lume pip almost touched the right side of the triangle. Curious if Seiko will replace the bezel or I will receive a new watch.

[@ThePurple1968]

actually the 1965 and 1968 have generally good qc. all the ones I have seen in dealers are perfectly aligned

[@frazierriver]

how can you guys ask $1200 for this watch when I can get at Gnomon for $990 new right now? makes no sense at all. I have the SPB 149 by the way and love it. I enjoy your videos Tim but really would like to understand how Watchbox comes up with these prices and how they justify it. thanks

[@manuel_winde]

This is one of the rare ones -with no misalignment issues 😂

[@Cycad...]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@scottlalonde2878]

Nice review, Tim, thank you. That's a great looking watch. Love the blue lume. If they used that on the SPB149, I'd be in trouble

[@kikomachine8276]

Get your hands on a 143... Its super nice as well!

[@Al_Prazolam]

Not "applique" indices as stated. They are machine pressed out / extruded through the rear of the dial.

[@hammalamiri12]

Yay, love to see this

[@faisalingalong]

You would, I tried all four from this range in their boutique (yes four) last year. Lovely watches.

[@DavidMartinez-hw8vu]

I think Tim loved this Saico.

[@HarryUnchained]

You mean Psycho?

[@resjon7981]

Nice watch but I prefer the SPB143 on the SPB147 silicon strap.

[@LlyleHunter]

For those who are comfortable with themselves, have luxury watches that they wear where appropriate and can’t stand posers they can remind their snitzy foo foo friends about how many times Seiko has set the rest of the industry into a tailspin in need of redefining itself.

[@popkidz2805]

I'm looking on the resale market for this model. Wondering how we could inspect for authenticity? Thank you in advance.

[@kidd4cecil]

How is this beauty, and where can I purchase it.

[@BB-gl7zt]

[@HHIto]

I was going to buy the SPB143, but (on another military type watch with a very prominent crown) I accidentally broke it....I decided in favor of the pancake-like SPB153 and never looked back.

[@ruspravnik]

Hello! Is the bezel material ceramic?

[@Stenerz1]

Steel

[@ruspravnik]

No ceramic

[@Stenerz1]

@@ruspravnik nope

[@naccashia959]

Hello Tim. Still available?

[@wuyeah1980]

With Seiko’s new price strategy I find myself move attention towards ORIS and Hamilton.

[@edwardsauve4836]

What a good looking watch ! That strap is very sexy I can feel its comfort with my eyes , I dig big time .

[@gmshadowtraders]

That's freaky dude lol

[@kidd4cecil]

How much is it.

[@samuelbm87]

$1000-$1100 in the usa is what I understand

[@fd6661]

I would love the grey version of this with rubber rather than the awful fitting bracelet

[@DCWorkmon]

“...It’s sort of a circumferential concentric satin.” He smart me dumb.

[@TikitikiNacho]

Happy to mail Tim some hand moisturiser 🧴

[@dwilfred923]

will i be good to get this on my 6.25imch wrist?

[@AriesUmbra]

i wear a spb143 on the bracket with a 6.5 inch wrist, on the strap it'll fit fine. try one on if you can or just buy one, seiko have really knocked it out of the park with their 2020 spb releases (particularly the 14X and the 185)

[@kenobininja2920]

Do Orient star please.

[@kevinngo1734]

Great review. Moisturize your hands, please.

[@faisalingalong]

9R15? A rare misspeak rather than mistake, I know you mean 6R15 🤓

[@plusgood15]

Well it's a 6r35

[@faisalingalong]

@@plusgood15 This one is yes, Tim referred to a family containing the 9R15.

[@Ryan-cv9me]

What F Sohail said is correct. He meant to say the caliber 6R35 is replacing the 6R15 but accidentally said 9R15. Tim rarely misspeaks, so good catch dude

[@manuel_winde]

I noticed that too. Catching Tim out about watches is like being a 5yo and catching your dad out 😂 I feel like I have arrived 😄

[@369MatteGrey]

He said Grand Seiko too at 1:37

[@manospromponas278]

I think this is the spb239! Not the spb147 which I own and has different dial!

[@giacomoantonelli8547]

This Is spb147, the dial Is brown tropic , spb 239 Is quite black and Is with nato strap

[@abendiaye3330]

You should put lotion on your hands. Your skin is very dry and cracked.
