Seiko Marinemaster 300 - Original vs New!

[@WatchGeek]

Excellent comparison!! I love the material upgrades of the new version but prefer the dial markings and writings of the old one

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Appreciate that! I think alot of people feel that way. There's definitely a trade off for the upgraded of the newer one. Thanks.

[@kofiofosu9051]

The MM 017 is a beast. Bought it impulsively a few years ago. Haven’t worn it often. Put it on today and it’s fantastic

[@setter55]

Great comparison, as a 017 owner I'd like it if the crystal and bezel from the new models would fit the older ones. I do prefer the older dial with the marinemaster text.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Really appreciate that. I actually came very close to making a deal for the 017 but it fell through. I was kind of open to any of the versions and found mine locally from a collector. Totally happy with it but I do like the older dial layout too. Thanks!

Congrats on getting one with +4spd !

I heard but from unconfirmed sources that 8L35 is an unregulated ver of GS 9S movement so i guess with a little regulation it should work like a charm ! The problem will be on getting to the movement in the first place !

[@Marshal77]

I wonder if newer look more black dial because of sapphire?

[@cve5731]

I have the OG, with an upgraded sapphire crystal (IWW in Cary, NC). Mine was also regulated to +/-0 day originally, but is now about +4sec/day consistently (fell off my dresser during an earthquake!). I far prefer the OG version, but I do think I read somewhere that the crown on the newer model has an additional seal? This was a sticking point for some (not sure why-regardless, it's He-proof, and rater to 300+ meters) so at least a discussion point. In any case, you get a great deal on a world-class watch with either version

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Well if that's the first time I've heard of a watch taking a hit due to an earthquake. Still pretty good at plus 4 a day though. I've heard something about the extra seal too. Not sure but both are definitely great watches. Thanks!

chris marchese I owned two so I know what I'm talking about. The bracelet is very bad and it should not end up on a watch of this price. In addition, the resale value of high-end Seikos is not terrible. For many people, Seiko stands for good low-end watches.

I was sooo close to the 023, but for that gold second hand, and the gold 300 print... Pulled the trig on the 017 instead (still available), yes it's not sapphire but I've never had any issue with hardlex. The dial is virtually identical to the 001 here, and so I'm glad I sidestepped the 023. The 023 lacks a bit of gravitas I feel. That 001 is a beaut though.

[@seikoskar2076]

II believe the thicker bezel on the SLA is due to the fact that the insert is debossed into the bezel. Probably to protect the insert from impact. On the SBDX, the insert is embossed. More exposed, but it gives the bezel the right proportions imo. Ive always forund the SLA´s lume look a bit prefabricated?? As if it is not hand-lumed? (I believe the SBDX is handlumed) The SLA lume is very flat and sterile, while the SBDX is more uneaven. Both are ok, but the bone white color of the SBDX is a winner :-)

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

I think you're right on the difference with the bezel thickness. Not sure how the lume is applied on the SLA but it doesn't have the imperfections of the SBDX. I do like the look of that on the SBDX. Thanks.

For me, the upgrade to a sapphire crystal tilts the balance heavily in the favor of the new model. I am NOT a fan of Hardlex, particularly at this price point. Like the dreaded helium escape valve “wart” on the Omega Seamaster or the placement of the logo on a Christopher Ward dial, watch enthusiasts can get pretty rworked up over the silliest things, the Pro-Spex “X” being another bone of contention. My goodness, some of the comments you read filled with hatred for the logo makes you wonder how some of these people get through their day without collapsing into a heap of smoldering rage. Nice comparison, Bob. This is a unique opportunity to see the differences between two supremely capable automatic divers that offer tremendous value for less than half the retail price of their Swiss competitors. Me? I think the Tuna is the better buy in Seiko’s catalog, even with the dreaded Hardlex. It’s less top-heavy, more accurate, the same killer lume, and even more distinctively styled.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

I found a thread that was about 50 pages long that was started when the sla was launched. Let's just say it was an interesting read and a good chunk of it was hatred of the logo.

Crown tube assembly. Who ever thinks about that? Saw a forum post the other day, where a guy mentioned that his Marine Master was difficult to wind. According to him, turns out the watch had to be sent back to Japan, and the assembly on a Marine Master cannot be repaired. According to him, Seiko wanted approximately $1,900 to replace the assembly, which included an entirely new case. Approximately 7 other people chimed in to state that they had had similar issues. Can you confirm whether the crown tube assembly on a Marine Master is repairable? According to the forum posters, the Marine Master crown is best used by turning it counterclockwise first, in order to 'seat' the threads, and reduce the risk of cross threading or stripping them........then, proceeding to wind in the conventional fashion. Assuming that it is true, for the price of a Marine Master, this level of design flaw/quality control issue is unforgivable and intolerable, as I have owned more than my share of inexpensive (-$150 watches), and NEVER had this problem
