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!

They are just over 4k in the UK. I just got a mint 6month old one , still under warranty for just over half that. They are beautifully made, much better than a mast produced bb58 or omega seamaster. And with only 1700 ever made they will be a lot rarer in the future .

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.

I bought this watch from a dealer in Maryland. Got a little discount. Great service from them. This is an unique one from from Seiko. It is basically a grand Seiko with a Seiko name on it. It is a stunning diver. It is a watch you have to touch, wear to appreciate. It has soal. Peter Kosta has a good review on this one also. It is a combo of beauty, and the beast. I am a farmer. I wear this to work some days in my rotation of watches. Not a mark on it. Very tough watch.

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!!

Hmmmm Mechanical Automatic Self dater…..MAS I own a Seiko SLA (8L35) model. THAT was expensive as well. But that watch became my daily wearer immediately! All my other Swiss, German, and Japanese watches live their life on the winder now…. I cannot explain how perfect these upper end Seiko’s are…but they are amazing. This watch looks really amazing. I’m not sure if its $4500 worth of watch. But I do know just how good Seiko’s can be. ❤ For the record…Service on a Seamaster is $750. But only 7-10 years for average wear. If you dive a lot, you’ll need a lot more frequently.

I just wish that Seiko would make this a regular release. And they might. They did a super limited edition Willard and then came out with the regular edition. I hope they do that with this.

$397 for service on this $4500 watch is actually affordable. When I collected Rolex 10 years ago, a Sub cost about $6000 and the standard service from Rolex was around $850. Regardless, service every 3 years IS excessive.
@MillerVanDotTV

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.

I think people deem seiko to be the seiko 5 and mall watches they see at macys, little they know seiko covers all price points and I used go abhor their watches for that reason until I tried the turtle padi Pepsi and I got hooked ever since and for me nothing beats seiko for the price point if it is 4500 then it is equivalent to a Swiss that is at least a.5 times the price. One word of advice you need to try to snatch one from preowened excellent market shaving 25%off at least from msrp then you got a winner watch but quality wise it’s hard go go against seiko watches.

I guess your explanation for who would buy this watch makes sense, but most of the luxury watch guys I've known consider Seiko to be junk. I know, I've been told that about Seikos I've worn. But why would someone like me buy this? A Hamilton Scuba is $1000, a Doxa Sub 300 is $2500. Both Swiss made. If I'm going to dip my toes into luxury watches I think it would make sense to stick with a Swiss brand. Or am I wrong?

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! Your comment is a typical one from people of the sub continent- lowballing dreamer. Thanks

Because the quality of these is astonishing, definitely a step above Tudor and easily on par with Omega - which are much more expensive. And finally, the beauty and coolness of this high-end Seiko are in my eyes way above both these two Swiss brands!

The only thing wrong with the watch's price is the name on the dial. And don't tell me bracelet, talk to the guys paying 10-12k for a Fifty Fathoms with no bracelet. Is it good value for money? Is any watch? I don't know, what's it worth to you?

I agree with you. As an owner of this watch, I couldn't care less that it didn't come with a bracelet. To capture the true '60s vibe, this thing kills on waffle strap. May not be worth it to most people, but the price tag on this piece is definitely worth it to me. An absolute keeper in my collection

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.

It is certainly a favorite in my collection and compares favorably with my other higher end pieces.

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.
