That wasn’t a wrist watch check That was a straight flex 💪🏼

For anyone with a slimmer wrist, a 6.25 to 6.5 inch wrist, this sits on the wrist really well, the short lug to lug plus the fact it looks smaller on the wrist in real than in the videos, it's a great watch. I thought I couldn't pull a 40mm off but this fits me great. I have the brushed dial plain black dial version and I think it's great.

[@realdaybreaker8013]

Exactly, this one looks smaller for a normal 40mm case diameter.... The actual screen size measures only 32mm, it's the outer steel design that constitutes the rest 8mm.....

[@chinkang3566]

The phrase “entry level” only refers to the price not the quality and design. Most expensive watches are only there to meet the vanity level of customers.

Thanks for the awesome installment Brother in Bruce! I love Seiko. There’s no other watchmaker in their segment that competes in engineering excellence, horological advancements and tasteful visual appeal with quality to last for decades.

[@BruceWilliams]

True that, they are the best for the price. I would take a Seiko over any orient micro or hamilton

[@SurferKroky]

Great video . That bracelet is absolute chefs kiss beautiful on that seiko . I am getting my first ever seiko tomorrow and will be very tempted to buy that bracelet 🙃 😅

[@Shoggy]

Today I got my Light Fluco because of your video and it looks amazing with the Seiko 😍 Thank you for sharing this awesome combination 👍

[@michaeledwardlenzi]

The red NATO strap is rad on the Seiko 5.

[@LiamApilado]

What kind of accuracy do you get with it

[@chinkang3566]

Jubilee, with its complicated facet , always acted like a supporting actor who outshines the main actor which is the watch itself.

[@joeblackwolf17]

This is awesome. Ordered the watch and waiting to pick the right strap for it thanks man 🤟🏽🤟🏽

[@stevefox8605]

Could be a nice watch, but date spoils it for me (personal taste obviously) Nato straps....should have a solid one piece buckle (not held in by a springbar) or it defeats the point of it being a nato! Cheers mate 👍🏻

[@rctezluh42069]

Holben's is great, i've sourced Haveston nato and Colareb leather from them. great store.

[@patricktutek7933]

RC Robinson-san 💯 agree, great selection, quality and service. I’m on the other side country and most of my orders still arrive in about five days or less.

[@sevrdaf]

Nice dial on that Seiko, cool straps. have a continued great weekend Bruce.

[@BruceWilliams]

You too

[@wazreba5859]

I've gone to buy black&gold, returned with gray&silver :). Beautiful watch - respectful design - few things to improve in next generations. No "cocky" and no "cheap" in design. Hope it will go to perfection next years.

I like Fluco and Uncle Seiko, too!. I happen to have the same straps you do.. almost, don't have the brown vintage leather, at least not by Fluco. But, I have the Holzer and the light grey suede I bought several years ago. Fluco does have great value per quality. The Holzer I had adapted onto a Nezumi Voiture Blue VQ2.601 Chronograph first. But, the bracelet was purchased for the Seiko 5 originally which I eventually readjusted the hallow end links for. I need to order a 2nd set so that I can also on the Voiture again when I feel like it. The Uncle Seiko bracelet is pretty good overall. If I had ones niggle, it would be the clasp. It is the weakest and cheapest feeling part of the bracelet. Not so much the clasp itself. I'm ok with it. It's the stamped foldover component. I wouldn't say it's really flimsy. But, there's a looseness about it. I dont know if it happens to you or you've noticed? But, part of that foldover piece sometimes shifts and sticks out from the sides of the bracelet a bit. Have to occasionally adjust and tuck it back under and out of sight.

[@bguerrero0410]

Link for the bracelet doesn't work. Is this the 19mm or 20mm?

[@simtye88]

I just got the same one 2 weeks ago! I haven't taken it off my wrist. Im thinking of getting the dome crystal from Long Island and maybe changing the second hands to a ice blue one. what do you think ? I love that uncle seiko on it! Very good video !

[@SirMopy]

simtye88 go for Crystal Times instead.

[@BruceWilliams]

I'm in the minority here, but I like the clear look of the hardlex. Too many reflections on an arc sapphire mod imo, even if it has better scratch resistence

[@onestate3074]

Does anybody know the exact lug width for this watch? I wanna get an orange/ black nato strap but I wanna be sure tho. Thanks.

[@Libertà_sulla_vita]

20mm

[@leyay7540]

I really like this watch. Give me a GS version!

[@WC_Watch_Collector_Club]

Amazing watch!!! 😍😍😍

[@nimai0108]

Bruce waiting for your review of the new captain willlard and new 62mas reissue.

[@BruceWilliams]

I'm waiting on my AD to get them in :(

[@MJDBOBBER]

Hi Bruce, kindy could you try this bracelet on the sarb035 or sarb033

[@SirMopy]

majed A. You need the specific bracelet for them to try it.... look in instagram to see them.

[@jonfavale]

I actually really like the nato strap 🤣

[@EmPeral562]

Going to check out Mimos. They are in my neighborhood. Thanks for the recommendation

[@BruceWilliams]

I want to drive down and film in his store oneday. Good guy

[@jimwatchyyc]

Uncle Seiko’s hollow end links and stamped clasp, no thanks. Fluco, from Holben’s Fine Watch Bands, great combo!

[@Libertà_sulla_vita]

89 beans for hollow end links and stamped clasp? Think ill try a strapcode skx013 bracelet first.

[@NPrez-cv4jn]

Flucco leather straps do smell amazing

[@Watchmade]

I can definitely recommend Fluco straps.

[@champagnejunior]

2:25 look realy cool

[@Jollopukki2]

Not solid end links? Big shame ...

[@KRW628]

Seiko makes some great watches (I've got 9 of them). But the bracelets are for #@%&. So I wear them either on a Strapcode bracelet or a BluShark NATO. A top-notch strap can make even an affordable watch look expensive.

[@BruceWilliams]

So true, I feel like I don't tap into some of my watches' potential as I usually go with a bracelet

[@bikerd72]

Totally agree re bracelets ! First thing I do with Seiko bracelets: take them off !!!

[@KRW628]

I've got a Super Engineer II on my wrist right now.
