Seiko SRPE51 Watch Review | Best First Watch I've Ever Bought, Here's why

[@Mat-sz9hs]

Hi! Great review. I just bought mine and I noticed that the rotor makes a subtle rattle zippery sound when it spins. Is It normal?

[@edcready8894]

Hey dude. Yeap this is normal. Its just the rotor winding the spring :)

Does anyone know the difference between SRPE51 and SRPE61 apart from one with bracelet and one with strap?

[@edcready8894]

hey dude. I looked it up. So the only difference between the 51 and 61 is the strap vs bracelet but that does have an affect. The strap would affect the following: 1. Weight - Metal is heavier 2. Balance - the strap version will be more top heavy. 3. Ease of wearing - The brace is easier to put on. 4. Adjustability - The strap is easier to adjust the size. 5. Water resistance - both are water resistant but the strap would stay wet longer. 6. Price - After market bracelets are more expensive that after market straps. Hope this helps bro.

@@edcready8894 Thank you mate. That’s a great summery. There is however quite a significant difference on their bezel. 51 got polished bezel and 61 got brushed with a line of polished ring on the outside of the bezelz

[@edcready8894]

Wow i didnt even realise that from looking at the photos. Thanks for sharing man. Ok so youre right there is quite a difference. If we're looking for something more beater, the brushed bezel on the 61 will look less scratched and more tool watchy. So for rough days, i wear my zelos swordfish because i feel like i can beat on it more.

My Seiko 5 started having accuracy issues after about 3 years. But then again I always wear it when I'm using a laptop, next to my phone, etc, so it got magnetized pretty bad I guess. Mechanicals just ain't for me but there is no denying their sheer beauty and complexity. That said my EDC for five years has been a Casio Royale. Hopefully I get one of those cheap demagnetizing tools and fix my Seiko asap. Also bro, are you planning on reviewing the Civivi Praxis soon?

[@edcready8894]

I really wished the knife industry takes quartz as seriously as mechanical. No urge to try the praxis. Althought the nox is really tempting
