Seiko SPC131P1 Unboxing | Perpetual Calendar Chronograph

[@dgm2006]

I bought mine about a year ago, and I’m still crazy about it. I don’t want to wear any of my others. I replaced the strap right away with a Barton top grain navy blue strap with white stitching. Really nice. Cant understand why it’s less available. It’s the best one.

[@WatchWitt]

I’m REALLY diggin’ it so far. I’ll be strap shopping for leather as well, but the Hadley-Roma Kevlar style strap that I showed in the video works really well. An Artem Sailcloth would look sweet on this! Yeah, I can’t believe this wasn’t a popular model for them. Loaded with features/complications, and great looks! May have been too big for some?

[@dgm2006]

@@WatchWitt The Barton strap is quick release and is very flexible. Don’t know if you have those, but this is my first one. I don’t think I’ll ever go back. You can take it off and on your watch in seconds to clean your watch or change the color. I suppose people never learned what a great watch it is and those smart watches seem to be taking over. Those are just another digital watch to me regardless of what you paid for it.

[@WatchWitt]

Yeah, quick release are nice. The only bummer is when you want to put a traditional strap on! Sooner or later we’ll probably be all quick release…even bracelets are coming with them now. I DO like enjoying traditional straps with fat sturdy spring bars, though.

[@dgm2006]

@@WatchWitt Not seeing more weakness in the spring bar yet, but the leather may be weaker since it has a slot for the quick release. When it does break, and all my straps eventually do, it will sure be a breeze to put another quick release on. I already have an extra caramel strap waiting. Have you found these to break sooner?

[@WatchWitt]

@@dgm2006 No, I haven’t experienced them failing sooner. Was just noting that I like beefy spring bars!

[@MirrlyonTime]

Yes to all your final questions! Love it, Dream watch for me would be brietling navitimer, that’s a busy watch too

[@WatchWitt]

I thought you would like this one!

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

So this is just you teasing us then haha! Brilliant looking watch, reminds me of the Longines Master

[@WatchWitt]

Ha! Well, that’s why I called it show and tell! But there are a few pieces still out there...you just have to WANT to hunt! Makes it a project! It really is beautiful. Fun to watch the hands spin around after switching from chrono to regular mode. I might need to buy some batteries!

[@thebaldwatchcollector]

Had my eye on this for a while, its a beautiful watch

[@WatchWitt]

Yeah, me too. The eBay retailer had about 70, and their stock dwindled down to TWO pieces left...I had to jump on it! Absolute beaut!

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

Beautiful piece! Very classic looking. Good job my friend.

[@WatchWitt]

Thanks, Joe! Yes, it’s a stunner, right? Very elegant, classy look and feel, and incredible functionality for a relatively low price in Seiko world!

[@MirrlyonTime]

Ooo la la that’s a beautiful watch Witt! Great find pal! Lots of functionality on that one! Love a good chronograph and this one is awesome!

[@WatchWitt]

This one’s a Seiko powerhouse, right?!

[@jonathanlee2800]

Bought this for only SGD$185. First saw it in 2016 in Singapore, cannot forget about it. The next year I went back to the shop, it is still there. Bought it. Never regretted it. The battery is still not changed yet.

[@WatchWitt]

Love it! I paid just about $5 more than you. This is such a killer watch. Great price for the complications. Mine is the most accurate in my collection too, at +0.0 spd for over 579 days!!!

[@jonathanlee2800]

@@WatchWitt I only adjusted the watch 3 or 4 weeks ago, after letting it run since 2017. Only ran faster by about 2 minutes. Check out SPC256P1, it is a rose/gold version with sapphire crystal. More expensive though.

[@WatchWitt]

That's awesome!

[@irfancooking298]

hey from sg too, which shop did u went to if u could recall

[@jonathanlee2800]

[@JuanRamirez-po1yo]

Out of all my watches it is definitely one of my favorite watches. For the complications it has, I would have paid thousands of dollars but being quartz I get to pay a fraction of the cost 👍🏽

[@WatchWitt]

Definitely a hidden gem in the Seiko lineup!

[@merc7paul]

Bought this awhile back, only drawbacks no sapphire and wore bigger than the 40mm size indicates

[@WatchWitt]

...and I miss having luminescence, but can't really expect it with this style of watch. Yes, wears a little larger than 40mm, because it's 44mm! Ha! But it's all dial and very little bezel, so that always looks bigger too.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Really cool when you go back to time mode after using the chrono I would be using the chronograph just to see the hands flash around on the dial on the reset, great find!

[@WatchWitt]

I’ve been doing that...gonna burn through this battery pretty quick!

[@WrongTimeWatch]

That is a great looking watch.

[@WatchWitt]

Yes, it’s beautiful isn’t it?! I can’t believe it isn’t more popular. Amazing Seiko value for all the complications and stunning dial.

[@ramanbasu]

Hi Thanks for spontaneous elaboration. Can you please review zeppelin watch??

[@WatchWitt]

Glad you enjoyed it! I would love to review a Zeppelin, but it's hard to take requests like that, unless the manufacturer can send me a loaner for review.

[@billassim9014]

Great watch

[@WatchWitt]

I love this watch! What a great movement, too. It's been running over 3 years now and accuracy is still at +/- 0.0 seconds per day....dead on accurate!

[@maxpedition007]

The lug width is actualy 20mm

[@WatchWitt]

The watch in this video has 22mm lug width. Do you have a different version of this piece? I’ve seen some dial variations, but figured they were all the same case.

[@kallachnadra]

How much does it cost ?..and where you bought it ?

[@WatchWitt]

I bought it for $144 from an eBay retailer. Not sure it's still available, but they're making an updated version that has more of a silver dial.

[@Model3GenerativeANdroid]

It was made in 1999, before the turn of the millennium. If it was made in 2009, there should be a full stop before the start of the serial number, e.g .931663 which means it was made in 2009, but yours is just the number, no full stop, so there's a high possibility it was made in 1999.

[@WatchWitt]

I don't think these came out until 2019. I know the movement was released in the 1990's, though. The Seiko serial number date identification has been tough for me to decipher...seems like they keep changing the character nomenclature.

[@vf.bhaskar]

Is it battery powered watch?

[@WatchWitt]

Yes, battery powered quartz movement 7T86.

[@abdellah4878]

So this is discontinued model my Friend?

[@WatchWitt]

I believe so, but there are pockets of new old stock that you can still find. Prices on eBay are more of a premium now compared to when I purchased this one.

[@abdellah4878]

@@WatchWitt can you believe that every single watch of Seiko or citizen that I'm eying are discontinued i can't believe this

[@WatchWitt]

Well, that's the problem for us when manufacturers make SO many models! But I also find fun in "stalking" a hard to find watch in the used market.

[@CrashCarson14]

If only it was smaller

[@WatchWitt]

I hear you! But this one's perfect for my wrist...most dress (type) watches are too small for me, so I was happy to find this in a larger size.
