I’ve owned the King Seiko KSK for two weeks now, and it hasn’t left my wrist. I’m so so impressed with it, the finishing is wonderful, the way it catches the light and the overall quality has won me over. Some commentators have criticised the movement but it runs perfectly fine to me and keeps good time. I’ve tried on plenty of Grand Seikos and actually I’m pleased I spent my money on the KSK instead (and I was lucky enough to find it used for a big discount!). This is a lot of watch for the money…it feels high end, and yet is so discrete and classy.

[@theurbangentry]

WOW, you have exquisite taste. Congrats, what an amazing 2 weeks you must be hiving. I am so pleased you shared this, best comment so far. "It feels high end, and yet is so discrete and classy". Perfect. Thank you so much and enjoy your KS, Best regards, TGV

[@raymondfoo9045]

But it was Grand Seiko that won the battle and continue develop until today. I love this King Seiko because it is an reissue, I love vintage watches. If you were comparing this KS reissue with modern GS, I would get this too because I like vintage. But if you go back in time, vintage GS and KS has similar design really. That said, vintage GS has this kind of case too.

[@mr.t9566]

Buying used at a deep discount was the way to go! Congrats on your business savvy, and having the discipline to wait for someone else to throw their hard earned money on msrp, then regret their purchase, while you wait patiently for them to chuck it on the secondary market, then swooping down to retrieve the spoils at real market value. Lol

All the more reason to wear one. Stand out. If you’re wearing a $3k seiko you already have the confidence to wear what you like, not what impresses the novice.

Hi, my name is Marcelo, I'm from Brazil and a lover of watches, especially vintages and Chronos from the 60s and 70s. I have a small collection and two vintage Seikos from the 70s are part of it: a Bullhead JDM 6138-0040 circa1975 and a Cevert 6139-6002, circa 1973, both original and in good condition. Congratulations on the channel! hug Marcelo

Keep an eye out for the 1959 Alpinist re-imagining. And, honestly, even at the higher price, there's the Sharp Edges series.

[@denisdaly1708]

Try the SARX 047.

[@adrianlovett3483]

Agree for most of us 3k on a watch is just too much . The Sarb also has a more appealing lug/case . There is definitely a market at £300 to £400 for the Sarb but without Seiko filling it micro brands are . Seiko now is wanting closer to £1000 for a Sarb like watch , and unfortunately there is so much Swiss competition with ETA movements at that price.

[@JDDD33]

The sarb033 is a masterpiece! I bought one, then realised how special it was, so bought 2 more in case I broke it one day

[@stuartcole4845]

There’s no doubt the SARB was *good* for the money and that’s about it. Other than that, it’s now this mythical, over-hyped unicorn. For $300-$500 you’re much better off looking towards brands like Tissot or Hamilton, plus you’ll get a far superior movement.

[@77cjam]

What a stunning classic looking watch, and love to see "King Seiko" on a new watch. I do love Seiko and Japanese watches indeed my collection is mostly of those. Would love you to review any of the new Grand Seiko Seasons collection that would make my year 👌. Enjoy the rest of the week and as always thank you for the superb video sir

Great video as usual and a stunning watch . KS is also an important part in Seiko history . Just a mistake in the video : the new KS is a re- issue of the reference 44-9990 with the strong lugs and not the 4402-8000 as shown in the pic in the video which has smaller lugs

[@Maloha486]

The SARB033 was head and shoulders above the competition at its original price point. As you mentioned, at $3,300 people start thinking about all the other watches they could buy.

[@GinkgoJoe]

Interesting lugs: they really pick-up on the design of Samurai armour/helmets.

[@theurbangentry]

YESSSSSS!!!! Outstanding observation, nice one Joe and thank you for sharing that. Best regards, TGV

[@8star8wars8]

Which in turn reminds me of the lugs on the Seiko Samurai, indeed an outstanding observation!

[@stephenrhodes7758]

Would like to see a review of one of the 62 Mas reissues or should i say reinterpretations. There have been a number of releases in the Prospex range that have really hit the spot. I enjoyed your recent Willard review, another from the SPB series would be very welcome.

[@canonyeo4286]

I am actually wearing the watch today. One thing worth mentioning is that this watch has strong wrist presence. Also it has an unique character. I also have its 67' vintage 44-9990, slightly older version of the 44999 which has the shield medallion. This is 36.5mm and without date. More than 50 years and the hands and markers still sparkle.

Your appreciation and knowledge is boundless! My obsession is the Grand Seiko sbgx263. Absolute masterpiece of a watch.

[@KentuckyMan30]

Earlier this year, I set out to get a grail of mine; the Grand Seiko SBGR261. After months of taking on extra jobs, saving, and selling various things I don't use anymore, In June I finally went to an AD and purchased my Grand Seiko. While I was there, they happened to have a King Seiko in stock and I tried it on. I fell in love with it! The sharp, angular case and lugs caught the light beautifully and I loved the way it fit on wrist. I ALMOST abandoned buying the more expensive GS right then and there to get "The King." In the end, I went with the GS (and couldn't be happier), but I would venture to say if I had seen this video before hand, I MIGHT have the King Seiko sitting on my wrist right now!

[@Lisa-vj6pz]

Thank you so much for the history...... It really shows their resilience..... Their artistry and their intelligence..... I enjoy watching your blogs and the passion that you have..... This is the best part of horology to me

[@etaoinn]

What a stunner of a watch! I just hope that Seiko's QC has improved, as that has been their Achilles heel for a long time.

[@theurbangentry]

Very true sadly, I can happily report not issues here, but then again, this is the "luxury tier", even if I despise the whole idea of "tiers". Thank you Srdjan, Best regards, TGV

Excellent review as always TGV! Just wanted to say 2021 also the 60th Anniversary of the King Seiko, and this beautiful watch is the almost direct copy of the KS second model 44-9990 except the date window and only 1.5 mm larger than the original. Cheers!

I personally find that this more closely resembles the KS 44-9990 with the lugs being nearly identical. the dial is also identical with the same sunburst finish in a silvery-white tone. The KS 44-9990 has been one of my favorite vintage watches for some time now so when I saw this I knew exactly what it was coming from.

The movement inside, the 6L35, is actually an evolution of well-known 4L35 movement. It is a design that could be find even in some watches under the Seiko's high-end Credor brand, as well as a relatively obscure, but nevertheless fantastic Swiss-licensed independent movement Soprod a10. All in all, great watch and terrific movement!

[@GapBahnDirk]

Since you asked, I had a Grand Seiko SBGR031 from 2005 until 2021. It had understated, almost stealth looks and the crown guards made it a sporty 3 hand watch; particularly stealthy as SEIKO and not GS was emblazoned on the dial. The watch grew on me with ownership because of it's quality and craftmanship. In 2021 I could not resist "upgrading" to the SBGR257, which is essentially the same watch, but with a display back and the newer 9S65A movement. It is my favourite watch and I have owned many, vintage and new across most price ranges. It is unique as a sporty 3 hand watch in the Grand Seiko range and IMHO worthy of a review.

Tristan, nobody does watch history like you. Kudos! This is a beautiful timepiece but the movement let's the side down. 4hz is no longer high beat, and being comparable to a ETA 2892 is no compliment. Why not a 9S movement borrowed from GS? Speaking of GS iberead that the KS/GS competition was intense but also friendly. There is more than on instance of parts swapping for example.
