I have this one and I must say it is by far my favorite Seiko dial. It's almost mesmerizing.

[@drwindsurf]

Thank you for sharing this one with us Doug. I love the MM200 - similar look to the MM300 but thinner. I am really thinking about getting one of these. Thank you for another great video Rob :)

[@jacobvonloh69]

MM200 in general, and this color combo specifically are sooooo perfect

[@enriquesalinasv.7907]

What a great blue dial. Enjoy it Doug!

[@elarson312]

Thanks for showing this Marine Master. This is a pretty cool watch.

[@1968jpy]

Rob I tried on the SPB097 yesterday same watch but with black and red bezel and blue dial. The quality on these new Seiko watches is amazing 😉

[@zaskarclf]

This is my favorite MM200. Wish I could afford one right now.

[@jamess8175]

You will have it on your wrist soon! Keep going, brother! Good luck and stay blessed!

[@tobias_dahlberg]

I've had my SBDC065 since January and still love it :)

[@youtubeuser2943]

Hello! How about the accuracy of it?

[@PukaHeadMan]

Now that’s a beautiful Seiko watch!

[@shadowmunpalms]

Good information and well explained keep up the good work Rob.

[@matttheoneonly6617]

Perfect timing! My sbdc063 is arriving tomorrow!

[@jamess8175]

Congratulations! Enjoy your new watch!

[@JeffreyMcMahon]

Thank you for the review. I have only 4 automatics in my collection, all Seiko. If I had to keep only one, it would be the SBDC065. It's a classic with rich Cyan blue dial.

[@thetrentmeister]

Jeffrey McMahon but it lacks the drama of the domed sapphire on the 053 and 051. Beautiful watch though. 😊

[@JeffreyMcMahon]

@@thetrentmeister That color is its own drama. Love all 3.

[@mtp1979]

Very good review. I love this watch. Much more than my skx which I don't wear anymore. This is now my only diver in the collection and the only other I could imagine on its side or to replace it would be a Tudor BB 58...

[@SuperPeleke]

Doug, getting explorer and mm200?! Yeah. I'd say he's sure stepping up his watch game. Pretty seriously.

[@gonzza35]

my one is on the way to me,it will be my first mechanical seiko watch,Marry XM's and Happy New Year !

[@gonzza35]

unfortunately send it back as watch was with misalignment problems and looks bad (((

The Blue Hole, Beautiful 👌

[@jhelwig19781]

Great review Rob

[@nsjong]

I've had the 061, 063, 065, and 071. The 065 and 071 (blue hole & Padi) are ones I kept. This watch just hits all the points if you're okay with a 3hz movement. The dial is just absolutely mesmerising in person and easily the best sunburst dial in anything below 10k.

[@nsjong]

@@Goldenbaba430 not yet, just waiting for the one that hits all my checklist!

[@youtubeuser2943]

What about accuracy of your sbdc?

[@PT111111]

Looks like SBDC is the designation for Seiko's higher end divers.

[@jonnorris419]

Nice watch, the green and gold version would be great to see , not much about on it. Great vids !!

[@sghi727r]

Don't we all get pulled back in! I'm currently debating whether to buy this one or saying screw it and go for my grail watch, an Omega Seamaster. But wait, who told me I can't have both?

[@BobbyG3752]

Love the coin edge bezel

[@randynovick7972]

It's lovely!

[@bogrot69]

It's a beautiful watch! The thing that frustrates me is that you have to be in the 1000 and up range with Seiko to get into a sapphire crystal and a decent bracelet

[@8BitQuasar]

And still no ceramic!!!

[@ricktemmen6272]

@@8BitQuasar I think they have a ceramic now. I think Shabazz did a review on it recently.

[@simondoutre6225]

Got a king turtle new with ceramic and saph for $550AUD, bought a strapcode hexad and still around half a yankee grand

[@bogrot69]

@@simondoutre6225 The Strapcode Hexad is a sweet bracelet. I picked one up last year. I have several Strapcode bracelets. One for my Turtle, Samurai and Orient Triton

[@simondoutre6225]

@@bogrot69 yeah it's really nice, I got the diver ratchet clasp as well. Really wanted the green frag King T which came on rubber the black dial came on a bracelet. But the hexad made into a beast. Might get a jubilee for my skx now 🤙

[@ogadjim6191]

It really is an amazing watch. I was lucky to get mine for $950 CAD new from AD in Toronto which is around $700 US. The dial is a sight to behold. Thanks for the video. Cheers.

[@SuperTwohands]

You got yourself a good deal. Which AD in Toronto did you purchase the watch from @O Gadjim?

[@jbernotasjr]

Manolo Castilla I have the 063 also. I like it better than the 065 as the dial is black and the shined bezel has that blue tone that in different lights goes from blue to black. The 063 is the one to go with out of all of the MM200’s, of course in my opinion.

[@olemanolete1]

Thanks to you and Bruce I got the SBDC 063 and I love it, don’t make me do it again, please ,!!!

Doug... is that you? 🤣

[@derfdswed]

I have the SBDC061. Its been one of my favorite dive watches I have owned...including Omega pO and a Rolex No Date Sub...Not comparing those one to the Seiko but enjoyment factor doesn't have to be dependent on price ..My wrist is 6.25'' and this watch wears perfectly. I wll probably have to get one of these too, even though I have the black dial, there is nothing else like this 'blue hole' version.

[@youtubeuser2943]

derfdswed Hello. How about accuracy of your sbdc?

[@Fettuchini88]

Hello and thank you for the videos you put out. Theres a seiko mod you did that id love to have you do it for one of my seikos. Can you help me out?

[@blackcatsarenopussies]

I like the SPB097, the Twilight

[@DGoetz26]

One mod I did to mine early on was to ditch the garbage dive extension clasp. Pointless and uncomfortable clasp. I installed a titanium Seiko ratcheting extension clasp and it made all the difference.

[@mrbacchus6127]

What watch does this compete with? Seems like Seiko is filling a gap in the market between affordable divers and near luxury Aquis or Tag aquaracer.

[@Trilogysworld]

Is this a life time watch and how long before you have to maintenance it ?

[@andrewkeefe6354]

Rob, you mentioned in a previous sbdc review that the indexes might not be applied, but maybe pressed from underneath. I love my 063 but its buggin me....what do you think? Love both yours and Bruces vids...

[@RandomRobReviews]

I am pretty sure that’s how Seiko does dials. They are pressed in or stamped up from bottom to look like applied. Kinda genius really, and looks good.

[@gorkemkyak1963]

are hour markers are stamped from backside or applied ?

[@muammeryavuz1899]

Seiko 👍

[@joefagan9335]

Anyone know if there’s this exact watch but with blue bezel?

[@hanfei6871]

Definitely a keeper but 4-500 premium for the dial is a tad overkill honestly.

[@stevenwymor1398]

It’s the one to get, IF it fits your wrist.

[@S.Creations1]

@randomrob how would you compare this mm200 with Spb101j/spb103j1? Now that they have the sapphire crystal and 6r35 movement? Thank you.

[@zouki42]

I have the same question :) I am hesitating between mm200 and the sumo

[@S.Creations1]

@@zouki42 yeah im still struggling with this one myself, I was hoping @randomrob could help out.

[@Joniyah444]

I can get the 53 for 560 bucks, or the 65 for 1,020. Not sure what to do

[@e28forever30]

This.

[@bogrot69]

I might sell all my Monsters and buy one, mmm nah.

[@jc944t]

One of my favorites but I think price is a bit too much for 6R15 movement. $700 - $800 is more realistic.

[@jamess8175]

This is branding and price positioning for a certain range of a brand. The Rolex Submariner is an excellent watch but likewise, do you really think it is worth US$9,000?

[@stark_syndrome7857]

Now for an extra 400 would you jump to a damasko I think the da 42, the white one with full lume on the hirch Robby strap. Which would you buy?

[@RandomRobReviews]

I wouldn’t buy either, lol. Both are great, I am just in a different place. Mid to high end gshock or citizen.

[@stark_syndrome7857]

So you would rather take the all metal g shock then both of those? cuase I been looking at that all black one as well. I’m not trying to make you pick for me if that’s what your thinking I’m just curious?

[@RandomRobReviews]

Stark_Syndrome Yes, but my journey is different then yours. You gotta do what you want to do.

[@mtp1979]

Both 😏 in fact I have this Seiko and the Damasko DC58 black and they complement each other very well. Both very solid but very different animals...
