[@lancefury]

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.

[@neilpiper9889]

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.

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 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 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.

I'm on the fence between this and the SNK789, which I think is part of the snk795 cohort. Your post helps.

Hi, I just ordered the same watch as my second mechanical watch and I am honestly really excited. Could you tell me a little bit about your experience, please?

Amazing review!

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.

The SARB is better, just not 4 times better. Great value here.

Is this better than the SNKL23?
