40mm is my sweet spot too Samuel but I wear a Turtle almost every day now, their cases wear SO damn well.

[@tobias_dahlberg]

I own the blue dial one, it's the 065. Love it! My first Seiko ever and I'm very happy with it. I definitely agree with the statement "If you're only going to have one Seiko, get this", it really is almost perfect. The 065 comes with both the bracelet and the rubber band but is a little more expensive. Mine is performing at a crazy -1 seconds per day, so I think I got lucky. And so far (4 weeks) I haven't got a single scratch on it, whereas with other watches I'd have a bunch by now, especially on the clasp. Nice video, keep it up :)

[@edrader]

LMAO. like you would know

[@rodrigomussak]

This is my grail since Jeff’s videos... and now you just convinced me even more. Cheers.

[@jonathonlang1844]

I got one with a long term goal of a blackbay and mm300, however after getting this watch, its the one. I just stopped shopping for others after wearing it. Absolutely love it. Only thing i changed was the clasp because the dive extention was useless for me.

[@Michael-ko8uf]

Bought this one also. The dial with that shiny bezel is stunning.

[@443playground]

For me coin edge bezel is the perfect look for a dive watch

It's a great sweet spot in price and I prefer the 4 o'clock crown to the 3 crown on the SBDC051.

200 all day! Did your Padi come with the rubber or bracelet? I had to buy the bracelet separately

[@warrenwong7774]

SBDC051 would be my ideal "one" diver. This lower end version of the 62mas reissue has a more classic look. I do not prefer the round indices on the 61/63 and the lugs are bulky. This watch is nice but I prefer the 62mas reissue.

[@cedarcanoe]

Best Seiko diver, period.

[@timemeasured9137]

Random Rob, great review, I can feel your enthusiasm. What’s your opinion on the better watch, the Seiko SBDC063 or a Glycine Combat Sub? Thanks

[@laikainspace1]

The clasp is budget but the rest of the watch is top shelf for the price. Totally agree that the mm200 series is that one watch. Classy and sporty, quality watch. I think this is a series I'll be collecting many of.

I love this watch, but 44mm is a bit to big for my wrist :( too bad they don't make a non limited ed SLA017

[@deanwaller8283]

I got mine this week,I can't believe just how off the chart good it actually is,zero alignment issues on mine,every thing is absolutely on point, accuracy is at +6 a day,it's perfect....the only thing I did was whip that bracelet off and put it straight on a NATO,and it wears like my skx , they definitely pulled off some kind of witchcraft making such a large watch look so small on the wrist. Anyone wanting this in 40 mm stop worrying and just get.it,you honestly won't believe how small it wears.

[@LuisGutierrez-yf9fn]

that is a gorgeous watch nice one...

[@benlait3696]

I agree with you for the money it's one of the best dive watches Seiko produce, I have a 61. The only watch I prefer is the Tuna but that's a quartz so not for everyone. I'm not sure it's Zaratzu polished though as I also have a Grand Seiko SBGN007G and the polish on it is noticeably better, but I could be wrong. 🙂

I have this exact model Rob, and I don't think your bold statement is an overstatement at all! It has replaced many other watches in my selection, and I haven't looked back. I'm down to this and the Marine Master 300m quartz (the black one) - small collection, but it's mighty!

[@TimoK82]

I just bought the SBDC065/SPB083J1 six weeks ago. I was going to check out some turtle models but then I saw this "Great Blue Hole" -version of this watch. The blue dial is just awesome. You just need to see this watch live and you'll forget what you were looking for at the first place. :) Some of you might say that the BLUE version is overpriced, but I don't think so. Just try it on your wrist! ;) Beautiful design, nice bracelet, good movement (6R15)... I can't complain.

My one Seiko diver (so far) is the Shogun (SBDC029). I went crazy buying 5 monsters (Gen 1,2 and 3), mate of mine has a sumo, I'm not keen on the turtles, but I absolutely love the shogun. I think it will be my favourite until I get my grail, the Grand Seiko SBGA231 diver. Love your channel Rob I hope you gain the subs you deserve.

[@bjmarchives]

I’ve been waiting for this review. Thanks rob. I had a feeling this would be the verdict.

[@RandomRobReviews]

Part of the allure is these are kinda under the radar. You never see them posted up at all. On top of that, they are freaking perfect (Seiko perfect). If that’s a thing.

[@buhta86]

These new seiko's are nice, but the prices are getting to the premium level fast. I started to get interested in watches recently and wanted to get a cool seiko with good quality at a affordable price. Now it's getting more and more impossible and that will probably make seiko a no for me. Maybe i'll buy a vintage one someday. Cheap new seikos lack quality control and often have no sapphire - which is really sad.

[@rhyssimons9086]

Great video I have this watch in the UK spb077 by far the beat seiko I've ever owned shrinks on the wrist...well built...keeps great time an absolute no brainer for any seiko fan

[@alexanderson1236]

This watch and the sbdc051 have been on my radar as possible end game divers (if there is such a thing). The lug to lug and total width are my only hang ups. I have even gone as far as researching skx builds using the crystal time case with drilled lugs. But then what dial? I have seen some Alexander James dials that might work. I found your comments comparing the size to an skx very interesting. After all is said and done would I just end up with a franken watch that I’m not entirely happy with just to try and make the lug to lug a few mm shorter? Oh the anguish! But I digress, keep the vids coming. Great stuff Rob!

[@RandomRobReviews]

A well planned and built skx is not the wrong way to go. Take your time, spread the money out, build it with oem Seiko parts, will be great.

Hello Rob... You rarely do such BOLD STATEMENTS and I appreciate it... thank you. It is very helpful for someone who needs some really exprerienced and thoughtful feedback to pull the trigger. Your video and your comments are very satisfying in my opinion and although this is not a SUPER DUPER watch, your comments on this are very strategic. I have already placed my order and I am willing to follow you in most (if not all) of your videos to pick the BOLD statements. Thank you again.

[@VersedNJ]

I bought mine (spdc061) on the rubber watch on purpose, if I do decide to go bracelet will order a model specific Stapcode, haven't had good luck with bade and the rubber strap looks good and comfortable, wears well, I agree if that's the one, it's one worth getting. Have an SBDC 053 as well, both good, like the 63 better, do wear it rotation along with a new model monster, Stowa Type B B 42mm and an Omega Seamaster 300m new model. Right now wearing an Alpinist and bought it over an Hamilton field watch. Have to have sometime but divers. Only watch I think is in the league is my Orient Triton and it's out for repair. Great quality for the money, and is another watch to consider if you only want one.

[@AhmadThabet-qw1kc]

I think this watch only lacks a signed crown, to be almost a perfect dual Dive and Dressy watch at a very reasonable price.

[@AbdElHmyd]

6R15 - Seiko always under estimated their daily rate accuracy. Mine was +3/-1 daily.

[@darrencole3696]

Hi Rob I follow you and respect your opinion. I own a seamaster white dial/black bezel, a pelagos 42mm black. Which seiko would you buy to add to make my trio the spb077 (mm200) or the spb143? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

[@spenceraaltonen]

I bought one of the 061, and agree that this will kick a lot of divers out of people's collections. The hands don't bother me, although I would have preferred the LE hands. The biggest critic for me is the bracelet clasp, it just doesn't fit with the quality of the rest of the watch. some of it seems high quality like the hinge components, but the rest is just cheesy. Not a problem if you are going to wear it a NATO or other strap (or getting the 063 of course)

[@malkinmalone]

I love this video. I watched this when it came out and purchased the sbdc065 at the time. Everything you said was spot on. This watch has the best of everything. After owning for sometime I agree that if i was going to sell my seiko divers this would be the last one i let go. The bracelet is really phenomenal for the price range. Its better than the sumo and monster. The movement is nicer than the samurai and turtle. The 62mas is a close second. I would say that this bracelet is better then the bracelet on the newer 62mas and willard models with the 6r35 even though those are nice bracelets as well. If you like prospex watches and have reservations about the bracelets being a little jingly then this watch is the answer to that. I absolutely love the 12 oclock marker in the chevron shape over the 62mas marker. I think if i had to pick all the things that i really like about seiko divers and put them in one watch the watch i assembled would look just like this. The only gripe i have is that they should have made more of them in different colorways. Maybe a silver/anthracite dial or even a white dial would have been an awesome addition to these great colors that they already make. It will be interesting to see how the next gen mm200’s hold up to these models. I love my mm300 but if i am being honest the 200 feels better on wrist. Great video and analysis Rob.

[@JungleEddie]

The problem I have with Seiko dive watches is the perceived accuracy of the movement. At that price I can get many watches with the ETA 2824-2 accurate to plus or minus 7 seconds per day.. The 6R15 is plus 25 to minus 15 seconds per day. Either it needs to be better regulated or better tested. Maybe if it had the 6L35 movement.
