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 😂

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
@MrTheblackbaron2 жыл бұрын
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.

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

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.
