Seiko King Turtle - World's Best Watch? - SRPE05

[@nchance1]

My son and I stopped by a Seiko AD in Plano, Texas. With all the expensive watches around, the manager was really excited about this watch., the Seiko SRPE05 as a good "starter watch"for my son. Heck, forget that, I want one for myself. Thanks for the great video!

[@masterg7895]

I actually sold all of my luxury watches after moving on to other passions and hobbies and settled on a King turtle Manta Ray, best decision i ever made, it's a tank of a watch and is just really beautiful to look at, and it's just as accurate as other high end chronometers and the greatest thing is that you don't have to baby it and you don't care about resale value because you don't have to sell it and just keep it.

[@ungabungus01]

>just as accurate as high end chronometers Only if you get lucky out of the box

[@TheMako49]

I have the same watch the Manta Ray version and it's one of my favorites. That dial is killer. The white version of this green one is nice as well. I'm getting both someday. Man Seiko just kills it everytime. I'm after the 1968 reissue prospex next though. $1000 bucks but I know I won't regret it. That's about the most I can justify spending on a watch or slightly higher. There are just too many great watches at that 600 to 1200 range. My 2nd favorite brand lately is Glycine. The 42 Combat sub. Got one in Bronze and Stainless steel. They have ETA 2824-2 movement. That watch and my Seikos are worth every penny.

[@emmanuellaurent3264]

I tried the Save the Ocean version yesterday, the one with the manta rays, dark grey dial and rubber band. Came back today for a second try, the piece is now mine. I too own a Rolex and a Panerai, as well as a few G-Shocks, but this King Turtle offers outstanding quality and enjoyment for the price.

I been collecting luxury and high horology watches for many many years. I also have a collection of seiko watches and especially the prospex dive watches. I love them and in particular this watch. He is right, it is super comfortable and it oozes quality. Seiko watches have been very collectable in the last few years and it's very good value for money even though some versions are priced at entry level luxury watch brands. You cant go wrong with this watch.

[@brendanmcateer5827]

Alright . I am 1 min into the video and asking myself why Seiko haven't hired you for an ad campaign. Bloody brilliant video and the music is class. Right I'll watch the rest of it....... Well done Oisín.

I love how he is willing to sacrifice for the art. Will this get demonitized probably, does he care nope. It's for for art.

[@jmount411]

While I have quite a few high end watches, i sometimes think to myself that one of my Seikos could be the only watch i would ever need. I have had some bad luck with the company with QC issue though but ive had mostly good experiences with the brand. I worked construction for almost 10 years and i wore a SKX the whole time. The watch got completely abused and now it looks like someone dragged it down the sidewalk. Vibrations from power tools, impacts, scratches, hot temperatures, and extreme cold temperatures. It kept on ticking and now even after 10 years its still running +10 a day. Yeah of course its nice to have nice things and im a Omega and Rolex fanboy myself but you cant deny a Seiko will serve you quite well.

[@NathJPearson]

Only a bassist could keep time with a drummer in this way. This is true art. Bravo. Time signatures and timeless watch. RIP Neil Peart

[@johnpuleo1532]

Probably my favorite episode of TTWC so far! Badass intro! Loved the whole Tom Sawyer jam and your obvious excitement. I love my multiple Seiko Turtles, now it may be time to add the King 👑

[@garyshepherd9226]

The same one I have - I alternate between a Miltat/Strapcode Angus Jubilee bracelet and the green silicone one it came on. Superb timekeeping - loses 2 or 3 seconds on the wrist, but overnight, flat on it's back, it gains back 3 seconds. It's a watch you never need to correct the time on - barring months without 31 days. Glad you like it too.

[@markedfortime]

Rush...Tom Sawyer...greatest song ever!!!!! Gave up the monetization at the very end with Rush outtro....well done sir! RESPECT!!!

[@leemartin2978]

The production here is absolutely brilliant . Utterly top drawer. Just having a watch modded ......using Seiko parts in the main , as I couldn’t source a pink dial in any other name, strapcode jubilee strap . 200m WR screw down crown, Crystal with AR both sides . Great fun doing it for the first time. Built by a well respected person in the trade, just over £500... just different . Looking forward to the video you referred to .

[@meznine44]

Respect across the board. Embracing watches at all price points, choice of music and certain demonization, and rocking the camo. From one bassist and Rush fan to another...RIP Neill. Cheers Oisin

RIP Neil Peart 😥❤️

[@rogmoose7]

I Rushed out to buy mine yesterday after watching the video a second time.

[@HRM.H]

Seiko has been killing it in the 500 to 1200 usd price range last 5 years. Even in the 1960s they made some amazing automatic chronographs that nowadays costs around 600 to 800 usd.

[@GalaxysGreatestDad]

I haven't heard him sound this excited about a watch in such a long time.

[@stephenjohnson9859]

Agreed! For the entire video, Oisin was like a little kid that couldn't get the words out fast enough about how much he loves his brand new watch. Ha! Beautiful watch. Also another amazing video. I could spend a Saturday afternoon binging them all.

[@dunphyc3]

He's been knee deep in Rolex (half of which look the same) for so long, that it's refreshing to see takes on other brands like this and the brilliant Panerai video. There are so many other cool brands out there. Breitling in Sienna, Omega in Trieste and the Alpinist are probably his best videos. Keep these ones coming.

[@MrNegroni]

Maybe because he’s not wrapped up in a jacket and scarf like normal. Summer is coming 😂

[@sosapilot]

I loved this video! I couldn't help but smile throughout, the childlike joy and wonder you have over this watch is contagious! I don't mean that in a negative way either, it's nice to see a more lighthearted and fun video every now and then! Keep up the great work, I'm always very excited when I see a new video from you :)

[@johnjt9435]

Saw this video 5 days ago and ordered the watch straight away. I cant stop looking at the dial. Even better, no back play, everything lines up. Absolute mint item. No need for a new saphire and the dive strap is the most comfortable I have

[@Gentlemans_Quest]

First, great choice for an intro song! Second, couldn’t agree more about Seiko. I have a SRPD21 “Great White” and wear it just as much as my Black Bay! Awesome video, thank you!

[@ClubmanGT1971]

I completely agree. It’s my favourite watch at the moment. I have a number of Swiss watches and many Seiko divers. I love the subtle green and yellow sweep hand. It’s amazing how the ceramic bezel insert and sapphire crystal lift it above my other turtles.

[@steelsteez6118]

what's your wrist size?

[@michaelcampbell4503]

Thats a great video. Love the style change up. Bought the King Turtle a few weeks back, love it, so easy to wear fearlessly!

[@WatchWitt]

If that doesn’t make you want to go out and buy a Seiko, I don’t know what will! Love your vibe and energy. Slick production with the Rush, too, and obviously at a sacrifice of revenue. Oh, and the WATCH...! That bad boy is killer. The waffle dial will now be referred to as the grenade as well.

[@HaonProductions]

These cushion case Seikos always make me think of Apocalypse Now. And like the movie, it's thrown together and a bit shabby in some places but by god it works, and it feels like it could survive a trek through the jungle. My next diver is gonna be the mini turtle, hoping the latest JDM model gets a release in North America so I don't have to import. And happy St Pat's!

[@upupandaway4444]

The Seiko "Grenade" is definitely a hit. Arguably one of the best watches in its price range. Love it to death.

[@danishfawaz2598]

First video of yours im watching, ur video came as a suggestion on youtube. And dude, i literally went wtf in awe while watching ur intro. SICK EDITING

[@Eric_Nielsen]

THE classic Neil Peart drum track (although I'm quite fond of Vital Signs). My Tampa buddy Wes Dearth opened a few times for Rush and Neil invited him on several epic motorcycle treks across Canada. My favorite though is a pic of Wes's very young son sitting on Peart's lap learning drums from the master.

[@Motormouth...]

Wow, your daughter is getting very good at the macro shots and her editing is killer. Well done! Surprised that you haven't been flagged for using Rush?

She wasn’t on this one but she’ll be working with me again very soon! Yes, the video was flagged straight away but I don’t care. As long as it’s not blocked. Rush are not blockers. The eagles and Black Sabbath are.

[@Motormouth...]

@ Well good on you then for such great shots and editing. I know the amount of work that goes into editing, its a big job. Glad to hear our Canadian boys don't block. Geddy lived near me when I was a kid, he had a great looking Mercedes SL back then.

I appreciate what you do for true horophiles and the art you put into it. I own this exact watch and am in love with it. Perfect alignment, 3 seconds slow a day, the perfect green, the most comfortable strap and cushion case imaginable. Could I sell the rest and be a one watch King Turtle man? Let’s not get carried away, that must be the whiskey talking.

[@wed265]

I just bought today this green grenade Seiko king turtle. From a watch store in our local mall. He had two of them so I was able to pick out the one with no quality issues. I showed him on my phone that I could buy this watch right now from Joma shop for 352.oo plus 20.oo off coupon for your first order. I told him I would like to buy it locally from you instead and then start to get all my watches from you. I put $350 down on the counter in cash. That's 329.00 plus tax. He said ok, I could not believe it. This watch is so awesome and especially now for that money. Your review was awesome also. You are very very funny. After seeing your video it made me really want to get that watch even more. Because I was thinking someone like you who has $20,000 watches loves this watch it made me love it even more.
