I own this watch. I kinda enjoy that people think it's crazy to buy one of these haha. Wears like a dream and that whitish tone of the ever brilliant steel really brings out the brushing. I don't mind that it doesn't come with a bracelet. I think these models belong on strap. Not sure the feasibility of making a bracelet out of the ever brilliant steel either. Would probably bring the price up even more. Great video!

I own one of these beautiful sla models . The 043 only fault is the fact that the movement is not regulated. That's it. The blue seconds hand is hardly noticeable as the deep blue dial is just mesmerising. It's also a slim watch as the domed sapphire is about 2mm thick. The 19mm lugs is no problem as all of my 20mm straps fit fine. Obviously a bracelet is a no no , but this watch was born to sit on a strap. I've been collecting watches over 40 years and this watch is as close to perfect as any watch I've seen. I got mine for 2.4k GBP, used, and for that money it's a steal. It's just as well made as a omega or rolex , it's that good. When they first came out with the sla017, I thought seiko were charging stupid money , but looking back now, I realise these sla models are easily comparable to their Swiss rivals. Omega and rolex feel more like a real luxury experience as their boxes etc are nicer. But the build quality on these seikos are just amazing , and you won't regret getting one . If you can't afford a sla , but love the 62mas , then get a 051 or 143. The 051 is an amazing watch and can be picked up for around £500 now used. If you have a large wrist , it's a beautiful watch that will stand the test of time. I love mine , it's a future classic !!!!

I have this watch and love it. The deep blue dial, box crystal, brushed case, and seconds hand are what caught my eye. Although Seiko’s advertised accuracy was nothing special, I’m consistently getting +3.5 or better per day (approx, when using the low tech Watch Tracker app). I also purchased it from a gray dealer at a nice price point, so the $4,000+ cost was a non-issue. My only ding are the straps. They are too long for my tastes, but I understand that’s part of the design aesthetic of traditional Seiko divers. I swapped it out for tropic and Marine Nationale style straps; The drilled lugs make for convenient changes. No regrets - it ticked the price, design (colors, baton indices, lume) and size requirements.

Intelligent review. Beautiful watch. Everbrilliant steel is definitely brighter than 904, I'd guess harder too. Re price, expensive, sure. But not bad value: its a better watch in every way than a Tudor, but not a Rolex. It's very near to Omega and priced accordingly. A very reliable workhorse, lifetime movement (last gen Rolex level, but unregulated), absolutely first class case (GO level) and very good dial (above Tudor/Longines, but below Omega, Rolex). An unpretentious, soulful, first class watch. And the best bit, NO PROSPEX LOGO!!

Nobody is sending these in for service every three years. I feel like that recommendation is a relic of the Historic Japanese market centric end of the business that operates on a different set of assumptions and standards to the more globally minded Swiss. Seiko and GS are slowly adopting more western oriented product development and service models. But they still appear to pull some head scratchers that don’t that don’t seem that odd if you understand a bit about the expectations in the home market. Seiko would probably be very surprised to see these show up for service at 36 months.

Bingo. Seiko can do everything that the Swiss companies do. They can charge whatever they want for the watch. A person wanting it enough will pay it. There's too much of this "Seiko sucks, can't line up a bezel, cheap mall brand trying to move upmarket, no way that's worth $4,500..." As if all Seiko ever made was $150 SKXs. They literally make everything, in every pricing tier, and this is one of their heritage pieces. Sure they slapped a premium on there, but they're entitled to it. The people that want this for the limited edition and the higher end movement will buy it. The people who want to wait for the $1,300 version that's most likely coming in a year or two will wait.

@JJ Buckmaster That is true. I might try and find a used one and let someone else take the depreciation hit.

To expensive. For that price I'd expect spring drive movement and bracelet. That's almost Swiss price.

$4500? No. Way. Good looking watch but absolutely ridiculously overpriced.
@rossdev3 жыл бұрын
Agree...I'm obviously in the minority here, but for me it is a very unremarkable and plain looking watch for that outlay.

It's a nice watch, but that's a lot to pay for a Seiko name watch. For the guy (or girl?) who has every other Seiko watch ever made and can't sleep without completing the collection?

This is nice watch but just nice nothing special. It’s maybe 500 dollars nice. This is very funny world. 100 dollar movement + 100 dollar case + nice story = 4.500 dollars. That’s why this world is falling apart.

Clearly this watch is not for you. It’s another level of watchmaking which I won’t waste my time to explain to you. However, there is other lines you should consider as your reasoning- you clearly have no idea what you are trying to justify here - please take a look at the SNK line, the 5KX or their sister brand orient. These lines would serve someone like you- a person with a lobster apetite but a 2 minute noodle budget. You may have considered this watch but it most certainly has not considered you! Thanks

@@ricopuckett8418 exactly, because of people like you who think that they have “specific sense for fine things” and justify every single BS what big corporations serve to the public, world is going to fall apart. Save your money and instead of spending it on worthless watches, pay yourself very good psychiatrist I think you need one.

@@surdzo what’s it to you what people spend their money on? The world isn’t falling apart because people are buying wrist watches. Go read your comment and ask yourself if that really makes sense. I will suggest 3 things for you: - a decent wrist watch - 1 hour with an escort - a psychiatric assessment on your mental health as you seem to be frightened of the world. Hopefully they don’t lock you up in a mental health facility.

I own this watch and it's not cheap looking at all, far from it! Although I didn't pay MSRP😉

$4500...I don't F*****G think so. Look at what else the market has for this price...you can get 2 watches that are twice the watch this is for that money.

I respect your opinion, but which two watches? Special steel and exquisite brushing are only a couple things that makes this watch great imo. I guarantee you people wouldn't have a problem with this watch if it had a different name on the dial. It is certainly a favorite in my collection and compares favorably with my other higher end pieces.

Too expensive for a watch with non chronometer movement. I bought one a returned after put it on timegraph with +8 Spd accuracy. Tudor black bay divers come as 2 spd all positions

Seiko could have made a better box rather than providing a paperbox. I got a used one at almost half the retail price of a new piece. Looks good in real life, but i personally think it is overpriced. No metal bracelet and lastly, a Seiko will always just be a Seiko nothing more. No luxurious feel or status even though they are priced at Tudor/Omega price point.

I own Seikos and although this a stunning example, it is incredibly overpriced.
