I own both the 143 and 147 and have switched the straps. Trust me, the 147 looks better on the bracelet and the 143 looks better on the black silicone strap. I also own the 213.....Yes I do really like the 62mas design!

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Might have to try that sometime. The 213 is one that keeps catching my eye. Thanks!

[@OFD]

This one is absolutely beautiful!! Great review B, thank you!😎🤙

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Thanks man. It's so good. Even better in person!

[@dyslexicbien]

I got the white willard and its a charm ❤ Every time i look at it, it looks lovely. I even changed the strap to a blue tropic strap and its perfect

[@tngchinghwa]

i have the 147, but this 297 really caught my eyes! but really dont think i need two 62MAS form...

[@screamao8841]

dark blue is better

[@madrockwatchesadventure4501]

Video quality top notch, watch looks great. Keep it up bud!

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Thanks man 👊

[@josemartinez9415]

Too much money for what it is…

[@derekshearer9049]

1250$ lol. Pretty expensive for a pretty dial.... The bezel on my Samurai is so stiff I can fix the misalignment problem... The crown wants to cross thread and is gritty to say the least... My first and only and last seiko.... Do you want to buy it? It's for sale... Going to get myself a nice Citizen..... My buddy has a grand seiko and the bezel doesn't line up.... Too bad they have some nice designs.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Derek man. Been awhile! I know, I know. I need to do more Seiko videos to get you to come out of hiding. Thanks for watching :)

[@asiantimepieces]

Looks great, what a dial! I like this one and the white one as well. My favorite picks for this model. 👌🏼

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Yeah the white one is really nice in person too. Thanks!

[@scatterbrain9490]

Black n blue is a good combo.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

I think so too. Thanks!

[@somewhereintimewatchreviews]

The dial on this one is some next level cool. I think at this price though Seiko need to make some improvements to their bracelets they aren't terrible but..... I recently found myself torn between the spb147 & a squale 1521 I guess you've seen who won that contest on Instagram. 😊 Superb visuals as always man.👍👍

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Some of their bracelets seem to be getting better but this one wasn't one of those. Better but needs some fine tuning. Great watch otherwise. Really liking your new addition to the collection. I've never owned a Squale but I could see that changing eventually. Thanks and have a nice rest of the weekend!

[@PukaHeadMan]

Killer watch, killer video, and incredible closeups! 👍

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Thanks so much!

[@kevinwagner9934]

Great looking diver Bob. The 297 is well equipped for a Seiko.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Totally agree. Thanks Kevin!

[@RedwoodAggie]

I absolutely love that dial. If I wasn't waiting for a big purchase for a milestone birthday later this year, I probably would have picked one up already. I have had the SPB143 on wrist, and was super impressed. I liked it better than the new and old MM200 (but the new one is pretty nice), the MM300, SPB151, and Sumo. I own a King Turtle, but would happily upgrade to this series. Do they make a darker blue version of that rubber strap on the SPB147? I think that might look nice.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Appreciate it Sean. It sure is a beautiful dial and watch overall. Good question on the strap. I don't believe I've seen one in blue yet but not 100% on that. Thanks again!

[@timothywillis8883]

Beautiful blue!

[@tankt13]

I went and ordered the SPB147 strap just for this watch. I’m more of a bracelet kind of guy but the rubber strap just looks so perfect with this one

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

I bet it'll look perfect on it. I've tried a few straps on my 147 but the rubber is my favorite. Looks great and is super comfortable too. Thanks!

[@timhernandez2101]

May I ask where you ordered the strap?

[@tankt13]

@@timhernandez2101 got it off a seller on eBay

[@bryanryan4504]

Beautiful watch I had to get one!!

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Cool. Yeah that dial is amazing!

Definitely. Thanks!
