Seiko SBDC101 Review & SBDC127 Marine Master Reduced First Look!

[@billfisken9401]

The accuracy is interesting. If I leave mine face up overnight it will gain about 15 seconds. However, if I leave it vertically '9 up' it will only lose about 4 seconds. Being careful and mixing and matching overnight positions I can keep it almost spot on.

[@JustWatchreviews]

That is such a huge difference. Makes me worry about internal tolerances.

[@manuel_winde]

After selling mine I got the spb213, the (not very limited) Limited edition. The tolerances are the same as yours but I do find it actually wears around -5spd. When I put it on a timegrapher it frightens me how off it is but in daily use it’s actually fine.

[@1968jpy]

Glad you got the watch back in proper working order . Looks great 👍🏻 on your wrist .

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thank you!

[@NathanHassall]

Beautiful watch and excellent discussion. I could sense your warranted frustration previously but I agree..I think the movement replacement + hands on service to your watch is probably the better path..and now youve been through an adventure with this watch already. I just made a commitment to buy this watch and Im pretty excited. Cheers!

[@manuel_winde]

Having owned and enjoyed mine for a month or so- the main downside for me is the movement. So you’ve definitely worked out best with your scenario!

I can't wait for that seamaster review.

[@RolexDSSD]

Excellent watch !! Great review !

[@johntocho8954]

Thanks Mike!

[@JB-qt8eh]

Done with seiko, with their massive price increase and still having QC issues.

[@theguardian3431]

Love the 62maX!

[@strannostrannovasrr]

Killer watch but a bit expensive.

[@PersonaN007Grata]

I own a few Seiko watches, specifically a Monster, a Seiko 5, and a Samurai and I tried the SPD143 on at my AD and it’s much more refined feeling than my Seikos. There is a significant improvement in build quality, fit, and finish with a terrific bracelet. He says the bracelet sucks but I don’t agree at all. Ended up buying it. I couldn’t pass it up.

[@strannostrannovasrr]

@@PersonaN007Grata thanks for sharing your experience with this watch.

[@Make_SPQR_Great_Again]

Nice review!! Still cannot decide this or Mido ocean star tribute though.

[@JustWatchreviews]

Thank you

[@saswineey]

Between the the the 101 and 127, which one wears more comfortably day to day? I'm still deciding between these 2, I've got smaller 6.5-6.7 inch wrists

[@zikkizidan]

fk gnomnom selling a rotten apple, they should have given a new piece altogether

[@derekshearer9049]

Gnomon was not that great for me. 8 weeks to return the watch after repair. Refused to correct the bezel alignment and l was charged for duty and taxes again when it was sent back. Never again

[@JustWatchreviews]

Ugh, that's brutal.

[@ebiedog]

That’s terrible! I’ll be sure never to buy from Gnomon.

[@ebiedog]

Nice sea master!

[@Make_SPQR_Great_Again]

Yeaap me neither. I got a watch with a huge dust on the dial, which was an obvious QC issue. Gnomon, however, refused to pay returning shipping fee. I had bought multiple watches from them, and thought they are very helpful, but not anymore. I also noticed that they are very responsible to products inquiry emails, but not to complaint ones. Once there is a problem, they are dead silent.

[@DennisBible]

That's terrible

[@valueink]

Which one did you end up keeping? A comparison of the two would be great.

[@JustWatchreviews]

The 101

[@user-ek6pk7dd8z]

very cool

[@M123OCT]

I like buying watches from different brands, but I must admit, I have fewer Seikos simply because bracelet adjustment is such a pain in the backside. There's no excuse.

[@JustWatchreviews]

Agreed, it’s quite disappointing

[@pregardt]

i have ordered the same watch from Gnomon and will get it tomorrow. hopefully no issues with mine. What channel did you use for communication? whats up app or the info@ email?

[@JustWatchreviews]

Email

[@OGcottoncandyrandy]

Aren’t you selling this?

[@JustWatchreviews]

Undecided

[@joechino9022]

Nice watch.... But a bit overpriced..

[@pierrepaquin2349]

I have the same watch but instead of seiko it's a SAN MARTIN watch have the same dimension and a 4r35 seiko movement inside for less than 200 us $

[@oaoaoas]

great you have a very nice copy :D

[@ameraalhmety4110]

ؤتياي

[@Sam123QU29]

Too pricey

[@GuitarD30]

Seiko with an expensive watch and a shit bracelet? WHAAA....!?
