Bought an SNKL41 recently during a sale, and I'm excited to get it. I suppose if I changed the second hand to blue with a sapphire low double dome and a solid link strap fo the same design, it would look even closer to a Grand Seiko like you said. Thanks for the fantastic review!

If you're willing to go quartz, the SGG731 is a great option. It has sapphire and it's made of titanium making it super light to wear. Very thin too with great dial detail and an excellent bracelet. All for around a $120.

I recently bought an SNKL45, very similar to the one on the video. But mine is a J1 model, which has "Made in Japan" stamped on the dial at the 7 o'clock position. It's 20 to 30 dollars more expensive, but I think it's worth it. That stamp increases the value and desirability of the watch to collectors.

I bought this watch this year because I liked the look of it. The problem is it keeps randomly stopping. I have gone back to my Seiko 5 white dial with a 7009 movement from the 1980s. No stopping problems. Accuracy within +-5 seconds per day. My watchmender said the older Seiko's are the best and from my experience I wholeheartedly agree. He said that there are too many plastic parts in the 7s26.

A forgotten brother of these model along with the black, white, and blue dial is the Japan Domestic Market Release SNKL21J1 in other words the Gold Dial Version. Bought this a couple months ago and pictures don’t do justice of how beautiful the sunburst effect the gold has. A must if you want to collect one of these. As far as I can see, Amazon is the last place you can get this as they still have retailers in Japan willing to sell such before they run out. Get it while you can!

Hi, I purchased a Seiko 5 SNKL45 from Amazon France over three months ago.It has been working quite well so far.The polished bezel and the stainless steel bracelet looks really nice! I also like red second hand because it makes the watch more lively.This model has a day and date display in English and French which is cool. However,when I go sleep and wake up, I notice that the watch looses approximately 10 seconds over night and I can't comprehend why this happens.It is strange that whenever I shake it or while working,it gains a few seconds.

I have an SNKL15J1. It is very similar, however the indices are shorter as the circles of lume are moved to the chapter ring and are not overlapped by the indices. The crown is also recessed and it comes on a jubilee bracelet. The case finishing seems identical to those in your video. Also, there are subtle tuxedo striping around the outside of the dial encompassing the indices. It all looks so classy and considered. I have put it on a more robust jubilee bracelet, but the original one is fine. Finally, I am one of the lucky 7S26 owners, as it is currently +.04 seconds over the past month of my measurements. I do regulate it by placing it vertical or horizontal at night, but even without that it only gains or loses a few seconds per day. I couldn't recommend the SNKL15J1 watch more.

I have always liked the look of the SNKL43, but I own the SARB035, so I am guessing I would be disappointed by comparison. I actually wish they had made a blue version of the SARB when I bought mine 35, but I snagged the SNZH53 as my nice looking blue watch ( which started my love affair with blue divers ). -- I am not in your target demo with 8.25" wrists, but you make great videos, and I enjoy seeing smaller watches. Keep up the good work. I grew up when watches were much smaller, and sometimes crack out my 80s era Seiko and Pulsar quartz watches just to enjoy more modest sizes. -- Martenero has a couple of interesting and original looking 38mm watches using the Miyota 9015 that might be worth taking a look at.

I think SNK377/379/381 might have something to say about "best Seiko 5". Especially the SNK379 (the green version), even though it is very, very hard to find. That's why I ordered an SNK381 (black/charcoal dial) after literally weeks of bouncing back and forth between the various available versions of the OG 5: SNXS, SNKL, SNK615/621 (I almost got that one), SNKK/SNKE... None of them has the perfect dial ensemble that the SNK381 has: lumed NUMERALS all around the dial (except at 3'oclock), very elegant leaf-style hands and reverse-lollipop seconds hand (all with tons of lume), framed day-date with black wheels (to match the deep, rich black-ish / anthracite dial) and, to top it all of in the most elegant fashion, a very subtle dotted minute track along the edge of the dial. Hwoever designed this dial for the OG 5 has admirable sense for aesthetics, because they definitelly brought the watch to another level, compared even with watches that have the exact same cases, like your SNKL41. Considering what a cash-grab the "new" SNXSs are, I have a feeling the OG 5s are going to return to the spotlight and people are going to rush out to buy one for their collections. It is exactly what I did, having put off such a purchase for years, simply because I thought these were going to be on the market forever. Well, Seiko is starting to discontinue them and the replacements are 3 times more expensive.

I like these watches better than the sarb035/033. Why can’t Seiko make this watch with a proper automatic movement w/ hand wind and hacking? That would be killer.

Hi ALESSANDRO, great review! You have done reviews for the SNXS79, SNK393 and now for SNKL41/45. Which would you prefer if you had to chose one? All are pretty similar with only slight variations in the dial, case and bracelet. SNXS79 = great dial SNK393 = great case SNKL41/45 = great dial and case? Which would you chose?

Hey Marvin, thank you! If you're feeling adventurous, make a mod like I just did (SNXS79K dial and movement in SNK393 case). Else, go for the SNKL41 - it's gorgeous. Cheers!

Hi ALESSANDRO, thank you for your reply. I was also thinking the same about getting the SNKL41. But regarding your comment about doing the mod between SNXS and SNK393 because of the SNXS’ dial and movement.....don’t the SNXS and SNK have the same 7S26 movement? I might be wrong here, but I thought all the 3 watches (SNXS, SNK, SNKL) have the same 7S26 movement.

Hey Alessandro, I'm in a deep dilemma and I think you are the best person to solve it. I have been recently scratching around the internet fro a gold Seiko 5. Now there are different models with different reference numbers. But the one that really caught my eyes was the Seiko SNKL28K1, mainly because it comes at a very reasonable price tag of around 100 Euros. However, surprisingly there's not enough information about the the particular piece online. Moreover, I couldn't find a single video on the same here on KZbin. Could you please shed some light on the SNKL28 if you know a thing or two about it. Is it of the same specs and dimensions as these two?

Lack of handwinding is really a bugger, I hope they come around in a few years (I dump my Seikos on ebay when they need service and rebuy them new for a very small hit).

Very good looking piece, love it! but it design as a dress watches(30m water resistant). I have a "5" sport snzh55 as my daily beater, with it 100m water resistant, It can handle any outdoors activity like: swiming, boating, and camping... etc. Without the pretty face, but maybe more practical. 😀

I can see this model selling like crazy in the future, price will increase. However I think that the snk795 is superior :) those long indices are a deal breaker for me, proportions are wrong imo. I much prefer the white version for some reasons. Like always great review mate.

Looking for a watch with a white dial. The SARB is still available from different sources, but it's a little more than I want to spend right now. Trying to decide between the SNKL41, and the SNE031 Solar with the white dial.
