The Seiko PRX - SUR557 - Under the Radar Seiko Release of 2023!

[@shj2000]

IMO the textured dial makes the watch something special. Elegant and sporty at the same time. And yes, I would pick this watch over the PRX quartz.

[@threehandhunter]

Right? Thank you for the comments 🙏👍

[@Sebastiancornelius37]

The only video/content that addresses the strap customizability 👍 Ive been looking all over the internet trying to find out how does this watch look with leather/rubber strap 🙌 Could you measure the thickness of the brown leather strap you use in the video? Many thanks!!!

[@threehandhunter]

It’s pretty thin. Like 1.5mm. But more importantly the pin is very close to the end of the leather. That’s most important. And thank you for watching 👍

[@LovedDoxology68]

I got the SUR 553 and it is just awesome!!!

[@threehandhunter]

What an awesome colorway 👍 the light dial is sweet

[@jerome8035]

I love this watch. Its size is perfect for my 17cm wrist. It is thin and light, the bracelet fits the shape of my wrist well. At first glance, the dial is ordinary. But the parthen strip is splendid and changes according to the light with the anti-reflective glass. The watch is very readable even if the loom is just sufficient. I like looking at her, touching her. I feel like I've found MY watch.

[@threehandhunter]

That’s awesome. It’s got so much going for it at this price point 👍

[@tru3garbage787]

Very detailed review, thanks.

[@threehandhunter]

My pleasure 👍

[@Santbak]

Ordered the SUR558 today. With al my filters on it's the only watch that also looks really good to me. Some retro looks to it, simple but atractive dial, no nonsense on it, and soo thin! :) also need that with my 16,5 /17 cm wrist. And ofcourse the sapphire and 10 atm makes it complete. Am seeing also some better second hand alligments on other video's so hope i'm lucky with that

[@threehandhunter]

Good luck with the alignment. Overall this watch really hits it out of the park, imo. You will really enjoy it!

[@Santbak]

@@threehandhunter thanks, changed it btw to the silver/white one. The gold on the bracelet on the dualtone i think is too much. Wished it was only on the bezel/dial

[@threehandhunter]

That makes sense! I love the white one!@@Santbak

[@timothybronitskiy6405]

7:04 the PRX does have half links. I'm looking at mine right now :) In fact, I scrolled back to 4:56 where your own PRX in the video has a half link right next to the clasp lol. Don't worry though, we all can miss something :)

[@threehandhunter]

I miss things all the time!

[@coverkosong7309]

I bought the sur555 last yr affordable and sapphire

[@threehandhunter]

Really great proposition from Seiko!

[@nickdolin393]

Great review man. I owned a black PRX quartz and TBH, I didn't wear it much and I think this one looks better and you can't beat the price. I may grab one from Joma.

[@threehandhunter]

You should. It’s so easy to wear on the fly!

[@twraia]

This could have been a retro reissue of Seiko Lord Quartz seiko 7143-7010, which I suspect would’ve been popular. But what they did instead is to round out the sharp edges, change the strips of the dial to horizontal, remove the taper, and add polished finishes to the bracelet. The older design looks far more attractive in my opinion. Moreover, as much as I like the applied logo, I find it to be unbalanced without something at six o’clock. I was really hoping I’d like it, but I didn’t feel it when I saw and handled the watch in person

[@threehandhunter]

I’m interested in seeing that version! 🙏

[@klerksyy]

I think it looks better than the PRX, but man, the way it misses nearly all the indices will make me crazy

[@jasperjenkins3789]

That’s the way you can check if it’s real! 😅 If it had a rotating bezel it would be misaligned as well.

[@threehandhunter]

Hence the problem with so many quartz’s…agreed

[@jasperjenkins3789]

@@threehandhunter I meant it seems to be a Seiko problem in particular. Almost every Seiko I own is misaligned, regardless if it’s mechanical or quartz. I have Japan make SKX the bezel and chapter ring is slightly off, same with my “safarnie” SNJ029, had a J model SRP turtle I sold but chapter ring and 12 o’clock marker off. Nevertheless I do love Seiko but wish they’d iron out the small QC issues for us perfectionists. I have only owned one near perfect Seiko which is the sea urchin SNZF17 from Japan.

[@threehandhunter]

I 100% agree with your assessment! @@jasperjenkins3789

[@klerksyy]

I have some obscure casio edifice reference and it hits probably 70% of its indices, but then again I might have gotten lucky with that one as I bought it for only about $100 a few years back @@threehandhunter

[@pabloaround]

I have same watch may I ask which is the mesh strap you could put on it, thanks

[@threehandhunter]

It’s just a 20mm milanese strap. Generic

[@joshthejosh8480]

What were the names of the straps in the video that worked with the Sur557?

[@threehandhunter]

I’m not sure. But just know there is not a lot of clearance. That’s why I had a generic mesh on there

[@boyu213]

Nice one❤🎉

[@threehandhunter]

Thank you! 🙏

[@SoccerCookie13]

Is this more similar to the 40mm PRX or the 35mm PRX? I know the 40mm has a HUGE lug to lug which this Seiko might not have.

[@threehandhunter]

To the 40. I used to own the 40mm PRX

[@SoccerCookie13]

@ ah dang was hoping it would be smaller! Thanks!

[@SaSpursFan]

Crazy it doesn’t hit the markers (just like Tissot) but my 90s era seiko does

[@threehandhunter]

Mass production today 🤦

[@toddjohnson5506]

Get the Citizen automatic version.

[@threehandhunter]

Assuming you are referencing the Tsuyosa? Do they have a quartz version?

[@toddjohnson5506]

No @@threehandhunter but most would want a automatic.

[@180494fst]

I have the tsuyosa and find it to bulky. Considering getting the seiko

[@jperryhal]

the PRX does have half links but I plan to sell mine anyway, get the Seiko PRX and pocket the difference for a future watch! ;-)

That’s a great idea 💡

Not on mine. Depends if you find one or not. I’ve seen some that do

It is!

I don’t, sorry. Actually came off another watch I acquired

[@Nudel-nc1cp]

Is there an automatic version of this?

[@threehandhunter]

I don’t think so 🤔

[@Nudel-nc1cp]

@@threehandhunter That's a shame bcoz I hate when second hand misses the marks as bad as on watch you showed in this video. Cheers

[@threehandhunter]

Agree with you there!@@Nudel-nc1cp

[@IvMacCuts]

I think it went unseen because it's a quartz. Not hating, I myself collect quartz, but I'm also a realist

[@threehandhunter]

Great point

How does a cheaper Casio hit the second marks better than Seiko

That watch enthusiast buddy sounds intelligent and insightful. I am amazed that this Seiko has over 3 times the depth rating of the Panerai Luminor Due!

[@threehandhunter]

This watch enthusiast is an amazing dude! I am dying at the Panerai comments 😂

[@playboimac3059]

⁠​⁠@@threehandhunter Hello amazing dude. Quick question for you; is it possible to swap the face dial on these watches & how do you remove the last lug of the u-clamp? I would like to do a blue dial with the two tone gold housing if possible.

[@Kawartha65]

Nice vid. I was so wanting to like this watch …but it just lacks that X factor to pull me over the line. It is too “meh”…. And I can see why the community has passed on it.

[@threehandhunter]

Unbalanced…the dial. Another viewer said this. I agree

[@jaer.6540]

if only they had tapered the bracelet more, this would have been a homerun.

[@threehandhunter]

💯 agree here

[@CBRiderMT]

For 190 Usd is okay, but 370 price that seiko asks? Nope thanks! I purchased Seiko Titanium SUR377P1 - Biggest mistake.

[@threehandhunter]

Grey market for sure!

[@HaonProductions]

Seiko Essentials are great designs and prices, but man I can't handle that misaligned seconds hand! Had an SUR at one point but returned it because of that.

It is tough to look at for sure!
