Seiko SPB187 vs Seiko SLA021 | MARINEMASTER 300 vs MM200 Reduced | $2800 vs $1200 USD Divers Watches

[@Polter6eist]

Went and compared them both on my wrist, my God the mm300 was big! I get it, it's a tool for a real diver, maybe nothing compares to it when getting the job done. It's clean, simple (genial design) and the depth of the dial is amazing. Left the store with the mm200, because I'm a farmer and it is a gorgeous watch nonetheless. Also, the accuracy is very good, after 1 month it's been loosing just 5 sec a day

[@EscapementWatch]

Thanks for sharing GRATS!

[@Desperate4changing]

300 if you have the budget. GS movement! Hand polish! However the Reduced appears like a very cool piece

[@anotherwatch]

The SLA021J1 is one of my favourite watches of all time. Lucky as I got mine at a big discount, as retail price is close to Grand Seiko Automatics.

[@johnhealey6455]

I love the 300MM. My favorite all time watch. So well built and beautiful. Great comparison video!

[@miked5789]

Now you've done it! I was on the fence even dreaming about procuring an MM300. But now, l must have one.

[@alancasari5958]

I only recently started my Seiko obsession. I have a few 4r movements and figured a 6r was next and then an 8l. So last wk I was thinking about getting a MM200 SPB 185 or 187 for around $1300(not in the US) but instead went for a SPB079 MM200 for $400 new which has pretty much the same running gear though a lower power reserve but much longer lasting lume. To me it represented much better value and can scratch that 6r itch. Then I'll make plans for the MM300 which is a bit special and will be my final Seiko piece. However if I decide to pass on it then the 079 will probaby be my last Seiko. I'm very pleased with it's performance just +8secs in one wk and got lucky with alignment this time. Useful relevent info FT as usual...thank you.

Nice move, where did you bought the 079 for 400$ new? Thkx

[@alancasari5958]

@@BogdanDSA Hi, I live in Thailand. I believe Thailand has the biggest market share in Asia. I think when they 1st came out 2/3 yrs ago they were closer to $800 . It's been over 2wks now since I set it and now it's only +2secs for the whole period😊 I'm eyeing the MM300 at $2200 new.

[@nan1064]

once you get into seiko, there's no last watch. Hahaha!

[@Ryan-cv9me]

Good plan I have both the spb051 and the spb207, and the older generation spb051 does have better lume and better finishing on the indices and crystal. I use it for diving and it hasn't skipped a beat. I've also found my 6R15 is also more accurate than its 6r35 counterparts in my collection. Good value with the last gen seiko divers.

[@odarpxela]

For around 1k usd, I was expecting the bezel action of the mm200 to be better than cheaper prospex models. Unfortunately, it had a lot of play and I even had difficulty in aligning it to its original 12 o clock position. That said, finishing is superb, and it does fit perfectly on a 6.5-7 inch wrist. I can't say it justifies the price, but may still consider in adding to my collection LOL

[@silverhawk911]

If the MM300 comes in a smaller case like the MM200, I would definitely consider that. Unfortunately, I have small wrists which would look weird wearing such a large watch.

[@MrShinobi797]

That MM300 is KILLER 🔥🔥

[@davidwatson3035]

Thanks to your videos, I bought the MM200. BUT after two weeks I bought the MM300. I then sold the MM200, which is a great watch but the quality on the MM300 is clearly superior. So I now have an MM300 to join my Sub, Explorer and Speedy as the core of my collection. I agree with your conclusion, the MM300 is the way to go.

[@EscapementWatch]

Great to hear!

[@mr.ethings1545]

I like the size of the reduced and even like that the movement is more assessable, but after looking at the Reduced in person and owning the SLA021 and taking it on many dives, the quality is really reflected in the difference in price. My first video ever was a review on the Seiko SLA021! A second note on the MarineMaster300 is that although over watch is bigger, with the thicker bezel, the was face itself is smaller making the watch actually appear smaller than the Reduced!

[@kewlger]

I'd take the MM300 - budget GS movement, better lume, better looking hands and better aesthetic overall. Just a tad too big for me though :(

[@kewlger]

@@Qieqi sure but I'd still take that over the 6R35. I think at the MM300 price its still a good deal. However, case still too thick for me

[@captlove8788]

I had the original MM300. At US 1800, it was a steal.. but now Seiko add an X logo, ceramic, sapphire and charges US 2800. IMHO, the watch now lost much of its competitive advantages, as it is now being cross-shopped with the likes of Tudor Black Bay, which is well regulated chronometer certified, has longer power reserve, comes in different sizes, and equally rich in heritage. I am thinking about adding an MM300 back into my collection, but at this price I may have to pass..

[@EscapementWatch]

There is always the 200 for those that want value! 1200 usd

[@jeremiahpayne2084]

It’s not a 1200$ watch. It’s priced too high. It needs to be around the 6-700$ there are other Swiss brands running better movement for that price.

[@davepb5798]

Both are beautiful, the 300 being my favourite. Reference the dive depth rating, it's a rated working pressure, all Seiko divers must meet 25% overpressure of rated depth, so 300m = 375m test pressure.

[@__silver__]

Seiko understate like every spec of their every watch, I've taken my SKX on over 300m depth dive on the South of Bahamas many times and it still ticking at +7 a day 4 years later. I'm sure you can do a lot with 300m depth rating

[@lensoversavannah8765]

Mm300, great watch! Purchased it over 2 years ago and it keeps very great time. As accurate if not more so than my omega speedy broad arrow. I chose this over a sub. I wanted a great watch but did not want to spend a crazy amount for it. So I went with this, a broad arrow and a tissot. My favorite watches of all time. I was not impressed by the Tudor bb which is a bit more, but did not feel like a premium product

[@bellaaneke]

Can you explain the "lift angle" feature in your timegrapher. Never used it on mine.

[@tomaslundgren391]

Very nice video👍 It's a shame that seiko don't regulate the movement in mm300! The movement is very good and the watch is not cheap, it's a lot of money for the most people so why not regulate it!? Really lowers the rating for me...

[@jimmyv.495]

Have you ever opened these up? I think on the Seiko low end movements (7s, 4r, 6r) you can not lock down the position on the regulating bridge when performing a regulation. When you move the + - arm it uses friction to stay in place. So if you drop, bump, or move around a lot, that position on the regulating bridge will move over time, which causes the accuracy fluctuation. I think you can lock down the regulating bridge on the higher end movements.

[@EscapementWatch]

yes i have a video showing myself regulating. the 8L is a different mechanism a screw that wont move when bumped.

[@jimmyv.495]

@@EscapementWatch Cool thanks. That lack of a screw is what makes those cheaper movements a problem to regulate. Have you compared the Seiko SPB143 to the Seiko SPB185/187 yet. That would make a good video as people are debating about which of those to buy.

I have always admired the Seiko MARINEMASTER SLA021. There is no question in my mind but that it is far superior (really no comparison) to the less expensive Seiko SPB187 and other inexpensive Seiko divers using a movement like the 6R35. For the last several years I have wanted to own the MARINEMASTER 300 but have resisted buying it believing it to be a heavy and uncomfortable watch. Still, I love its looks.

[@bryanb4308]

You know what’s funny is that the positional variance seems way worse in 6R movements than it is in a $30 NH35. I’ve had real issues with these 6R movements and I just can’t understand how they can be so bad especially for the money. What’s worse is that a new movement costs just as much as a Swiss ETA 2824 or a Sellita SW200, assuming you can find one for sale. Or you send it to Seiko to have it “serviced”, (let’s be real here, they’re just going to sh** can it and put a new one in anyway) and get raked over the coals on cost. I just can’t do it, I won’t buy anything with a 6R movement in it ever again. The performance in the couple examples I’ve seen is astonishingly bad. especially when you can buy a really nice watch with a Swiss movement for the same price. When those movements give out you can easily source a new one and swap it in, without being held hostage by the manufacturer for repairs.

[@EscapementWatch]

No I was discussing the movement. Throw away the movement. Not the watch. buy a 4R35 for $30 bucks put the dial and hands on it and its as an affordable way for easy service. Especially if you do the hand pressing yourself. Service on a 6R35 is roughly $150-250 in my area from local watchmakers. So for me personally i would give up the extra 30hrs of power reserve and save on servicing.

I got new SPB187J1 from eBay for only 855$ and before that the SLA021J1 for 2200$ also new before tax beat value anywhere beats all swiss watches I’ve dealt with. Keep making them good videos man.

Don’t like position of winder better at number three by far

[@adamski101]

Looks way better at 4/4:30...

[@nsjong]

The 6r35 is complete garbage, as depicted by your video (and others).

[@AlbeeBarrett]

You got the diameters wrong on both watches

[@miked5789]

There is no point in comparing a 6R35-powered anything to an 8L35 MM.

[@BamBamSecretAgentXer]

300 will actually wear smaller because it has a smaller dial!...the real secret measurement

[@nightstalker824]

If you call it "reduced" one more time...

[@DrifterGaming]

First!

[@gregcameron9907]

no comparison brother the 200 vs the 300mm nope dont even go there

[@nayanmipun6784]

Watches have to water proof till 15 kilometres deep pressure, and these marine watches have to be at least 500 meters deep proof

[@maverickwatchreviews]

The 300, while beautiful, was severely lacking in build quality for a $3K watch.

[@EscapementWatch]

build quality was lacking? how? hand polish was messed up? hands misaligned? applied indices not straight? chapter ring off? please elaborate.

[@SCTitan06]

Severely lacking? Wow I own many $4k - $8k swiss divers and my SLA019 fits right in EASILY except the bracelet/clasp. What was wrong with yours?

[@cy4624]

Compared to what..it is priced same as Tag AR and are in a different league and levels above in every aspect.
