I watched this video a week ago without even knowing this watch exists, then immediately purchased one. Damn you, TGV!!! With that said, I emailed Seiko about the bezel insert and here's what they said: "In reply to your recent communication please know According to our records the SLA037 does not have a ceramic bezel insert. The bezel insert is the special “Ever Brilliant Steel” material with a hard coating which also provides the color and sheen."

[@d.kashani]

I believe it’s titanium carbide coating.

Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. I must confess, it takes almost as much time to shoot and edit than the actual review, but it's worth it as I know the good Gentry out there enjoy it.

That intro was absolutely amazing; the addition of Samurai Champloo was perfect. Keep up the good work TGV!

[@earthenjadis8199]

I just want to say I like the 80s inspired synth pop going on in the background. My recent experience - I bought an SPB149, which is essentially the cheaper Prospex version of this watch with the 6R35 movement. First thing I noticed was the bezel was slightly misaligned (this is not unusual with Seiko so I was only mildly irritated). I took the watch to my local watchmaker (a nice Polish man with old school customer service) hoping for a quick bezel fix. He put the watch on the timegrapher and tested it in several positions and the look on his face made my heart sink. He basically said "Look, send it in to Seiko under warranty. The movement is all over the place. Get the bezel fixed at the same time." So my watchmaker is sending it off to Seiko for a warranty service and that's where I'm at right now. I can't say I'm not slightly disappointed but I think the worst part is that I don't feel surprised. I've had 3 previous 6R movements and none have been kind to me - they really can't compare to my Sellitas or ETAs. Makes me wonder if I'm a sucker for constantly going back to Seiko. On the one hand, their quality is patchy (not including Grand Seiko, obviously) but on the other hand, they are SEIKO with all that history and prestige. It's complicated. I just want Seiko to make something to match an ETA 2824 for a similar price and use that in their mid-range watches rather than the 6R series. For a company that has such an illustrious history with watch accuracy, their movements should strive to live up to this reputation. Seiko fans can see the changes and they're not enthusiastic about them - the prices are going up but many feel they're not getting anything additional for the extra money they pay. Personally, the one real positive is Seiko are making better design decisions in terms of the models they are releasing - they seem to have a better understanding of what people want (the non-replacement of an equivalent SKX diver is an exception, though). I'll just end by saying I wish current Seiko had the respect for their customers that their customers clearly have for Seiko. It's not a zero-sum game. I think you can move upmarket and bring your current base with you but if you're going to charge more, you also need to offer more.

[@pibblesnbits]

This comment needs more recognition. So true.

[@JeeGee114]

I almost pulled the trigger on the grey version in the hope they fixed their 6R issues. But if they can't even do things right on the limited edition I'll stick with my 4R San Martin. Maybe Seiko should let them produce a batch with the Seiko logo and ask 500 dollars for it. Hope they can fix your watch but it's obvious their quality control is not on par with their new pricing scheme.

[@montesyo]

As a Seiko fan, I 100% agree with you

[@NWA_1919]

I had no clue that the 6r movements are unreliable :o i assumed that because it's seiko, the movement will be very solid. Now i'm starting to wonder if ordering the spb149 was actually a mistake. I guess i'll need to take it to my local dealer as soon as i get it to put it on a timegrapher. Also it's unbeliavable they still can't get their bezels straight.

[@dude28405]

I can appreciate what Seiko is doing I've always been a Seiko fanboy whether I like it or not is another story. I absolutely love this watch but I almost wish they made one for more of a mass market because that is one of the things I loved about seiko's their ability reproduce a great watch at a great price. However I believe they've earned the right to create a higher-end watch that commands the price of their Swiss counterparts they definitely truly are masters of The Craft. I think your video help me put it in perspective whereas we enjoyed great watches at great prices from Seiko I like that they are taking their brand to a much more luxurious level. I sure hope they don't forget about us Seiko 5 Guys in the process

[@bcpyc]

I gotta be honest, couple years ago I didn’t like watching the intros, but now, it’s the thing I am excited about when watching each TGV videos.

[@heikowallauer]

Good evening TGV! Great intro, great interludes! This is a real hefty diver! It's pricey, of course, but I definetly like this Seiko. The real downside of course is the limitation, as you pointed out correctly. But maybe we are lucky and we will find some of the DNA in more accesible Seikos. Have a great weekend! Best regards!

Seiko has lost me too, though I have bought a few Seiko Presages this year that I love. Prices in general and on the "special or limited ed." has just gone too far up. Orient has pulled me back in, my next watch is probably an Orient Kamasu with red dial or the green one.

Seiko and TGV get an automatic thumbs up in my book, I already know it’ll be good

[@zedatomic8342]

Case of serious brand confusion here. The Seiko brand was for solid tool watches and lower priced but well made (with some quality problems) watches. Grand Seiko was the Lexus luxury brand to the Toyota common person Seiko. My guess is that this watch is simply Seiko selling a high end high priced watch for all of the watch connoisseurs who have very high price watches but wear Seikos as their every day “cheap” watches. Now that watch aficionado has a high price Seiko that to the uninitiated eye looks like a regular Seiko but to those in the know - it’s the ultimate homage model. Just my 2c!

[@CorruptGun]

I absolutely love the intros. They probably take a while to make, but they are so damn good and i'm glad you include them!

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

In my book With Orient around, Seiko takes a back seat. I purchased a green Kamasu that looks more like a teal, is probably more beautiful than this dial plus its just as substantial. I dig Seiko, but its an easy pass for me anymore

[@kwameofori8947]

Yep

[@jeonglee657]

I am a big orient star fan and collector. Started out with orient (ray 2 and neo) and discovered orient star esp their older models...their dial designs and quality are really something

[@varanid9]

Dive watch wise, I'll pass on Orient, though, some of their designs are nice if somewhat uninspired. I don't think anyone, IMHO, can hold a candle to Seiko when it comes to dive watches, not Rolex or Omega, etc. However, in checking out their other watches, I studied up on Orient and found that they also have quite the history. I find their other lines more tasteful than Seiko and quite understated in presentation. Orient also seems to have more variety and classic designs than Citizen. I'm about to buy one, a Tri-Star that I like much more than the Seiko SARB, and, inexpensive as it is, actually gives my Ball Limited Edition a run for its money in the "Explorer"-ish watch category. I also think the Bambinos is a little more appealing to me than the Seiko Presage line.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Thats cool, but if u enjoy unaligned chapter rings, rattling bracelets both of which Seiko is known for, thats your company. Just think they forgot what made them popular and forget the quality control

[@J_The_Colossal_Squid]

That's where we differ, Seiko is not attempting to reposition by traditional means, but rather attempting to game the market to alter their image, instead of repositioning by offering value for the level of market place they are attempting to secure, because they see that there is a market of ignorant fashion oriented watch wearers. Smacks of jealousy and ingratitude. I'd rather be seen wearing a Casio these days.
