A good, fair comparison. While the Tudor has a nice finish, it is instructive that you're comparing it fitted with an aftermarket bracelet. That shouldn't be necessary on a $4k watch! The movement in the Tudor is a good one (Kenissi, assembled in house) but it's unproven and expensive to service compared to the previous ETA, or the Seiko. While Tudors do hold value well, it's the %age that counts and Seikos resell well. The Seiko is also a true dive watch, the Tudor more of a dive 'inspired' watch. I'd buy the Seiko and spend the change on a Longines.

Seiko wins in the looks department. BB58 has arguably the better movement, and better fit and finish/ quality control. In terms of value for money, the Seiko can be found online for almost 1/3 the price of the Tudor. Is the Tudor three times as better as the Seiko? That's for prospective buyers to decide. With some aftermarket regulation by any decent watch technician the 6r35 movement can usually be brought to within a hair's breadth of the Tudor's performance (though unlikely to surpass or even equal it). In terms of many mid-tier Seikos notoriously inconsistent fit & finish/ QC issues, it's really the luck of the draw with each individual model.

I'm currently looking for my first and could possibly be my only luxury/good piece as I'm more of a G-Shock guy. A few made it to the shortlist, although some might not be in the luxury tier; 1. Oris Propilot Date - Grey Dial 41mm 2. Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic 42mm 3. Certina DS Action Diver - 43mm 4. Seiko SPB143/147 5. Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Initially I was excited about the Certina being Swiss made and includes a useful ratcheting diver's extension but was disappointed that the AD here at my place doesn't carry any of the models bearing the Nivachron hairspring which are quite new to the line. At this point, the only thing holding me from considering the SPBs is the accuracy. There's not much in the list but weighing on several factors/strengths each models possesses such as water resistance, luminosity, accuracy, antimagnetism, and even to the practicality of having on-the-fly adjustment, I'm still undecided 🤷♂️

In what way is Tudor riding on the coattails of Rolex? You won’t find a single mention of Rolex in their marketing and I would argue the average person off the street probably hasn’t heard of Tudor. My wife HAD heard of them because I am always talking about watches but had no idea they were associated with Rolex. When I bought her one a few weeks ago and I mentioned Tudor was a Rolex brand, this was a negative to her as she has negative connotations of Rolex, as she thinks that they are flashy and crass. Now you can argue that the Seiko is a better buy, that it is better value or that you think it looks better, but to actually argue it is a better watch outright just makes you look uninformed.

@NB I bought an OP 36mm earlier this year. Nice dial, but in terms of overall - it's pretty basic. The Tudor is a different type of model, but does appear better detailed and better value. What is a closer comparison is my Omega aqua terra which is very similar in concept to the OP - dress watch, within 1 or so mm of the size. The Omega (bracelet aside) - I believe is the better-finished watch, detailing much better than the Rolex and it has a better movement, 15,000 Gauss antimagnetic. I guess the point I am trying to make overall - is that owning a number of good quality watches, including Rolex - I don't think they are justified in terms of cost vs finishing. I've still got on order a new Sub - but mainly because I know it holds its money, from an investment point of view. Once again the Omega Seamaster has far more detailing and a better movement, for less money. Rolex may have all the history in the world - but objectively they are overpriced for what's on offer - but we knew that already ;-) A lot of people have commented on my BB58 rather than the overly generic Sub - and finishing wise...to say not even close, is wishful thinking - I can see with my own eyes, as own these watches.

I looked at the planet ocean and never liked it, I also preferred the sub, however the seamaster for me is a better watch, though close. I do think the glidelock mechanisms on some of the Rolexs is great. But at the end of it all, its only a clasp.

Tudor Bb 58 is still miles better than this seiko diver. Tudor bb 58 is way more comfortable and form fitting and better finished as a whole. While the seiko might seem better value, it still has the misalignment issue in some batches, way thicker, and it doesn’t feel as comfortable in bracelet as Tudor, period. I tested both extensively. My wrist size is 6.5 inch. The BB case and lugs are far more comfortable on my skin. If you are into chunky divers, MM is better for you. This spb is a lesser version of the 62mas reissue. Good improvement, but still lacking. In terms of looks, this seiko might win some stares, Tudor bb design still is understated and a lasting beauty. I am not even into Rolex or Tudor, and yet I still got blown away when personally tried it on my wrist. Note that the Tudor I tried is the latest navy blue. I bet most of you didn’t even tried both BB and this SPB within a short period of time and commented about value for money goes to the seiko. This might be the case if your budget is kinda limited, but I HIGHLY suggest you all try the new BB BLUE, at the AD, after this SPB. When it comes to pricing above 1000 usd, to me, I don’t want to spend on something lacklustre. I rather pay more for watch that fits my needs almost.

.. Rolex happened to make that Connery's dr. No Sub 6538, i think what differs mostly from bb58 are the mercedes hour hand, white silver markers and its size, 38mm vs 39mm.

Looks like the bracelet on the Seiko is on the wrong way. Is that international?

Imo the Seiko is priced right, but the Tudor should be about 1/2 it's retail price.

I have both the Black Bay and the SPB143 (and SPB147). The Seiko’s are a great release but they are still plagued by annoying QC issues. I had to have my 147 replaced due to a misaligned lume pip. Have a look at Instagram, it’s quite prevalent. Was lucky with the 143 it didn’t have this issue. Everything else I love about the Seiko, bezel action is smooth, case brushing and polishing is on point. Beautiful dial that pays homage to the 62MAS. Both mine run a +4 seconds a day. However, it is NO WAY in the same league as my Black Bay. The bezel action of a Black Bay is in a league of its own when compared to the Seiko, I see where the term buttery smooth comes from. The winding action is just bliss. The time keeping COSC. The sharpness and detail of the dial leaves the SPB for dead. I’m a big Seiko fan and collector, but facts are facts and base mine on owning both. These comparisons are fun, but the SPB should be compared to something like the Oris 65.

I think if your Seiko is running at +4 isn't that within COSC margins at a third of the price ? Plus with a in house movement same power reserve and the history Seiko has, I think I'd go Seiko every time, even with their QC issues. You'd just checkout the watch closely at a shop first. At 3k plus for the Tudor which don't get me wrong is an absolute gorgeous watch is just too much.🤔

My biggest complain about the Seiko is that the date wheel unmaches the dial colors.. tbh just a nerdy complain

Own both and enjoy them both a lot. If I could change one thing about the Seiko, the clasp comes to mind. Its massive and I my mind a bit overdone. Also, its virtually impossible to find suitable slim, shoulderless springbars that fits the Seiko

Don’t really like a few things on the seiko , all of these are my personal preference -snowflake dial - date - bezel - burst reflection on the dial( too much) - diameter and thickness Hence , BB58 for me.

The funny thing is that the Seiko is a retro design from 1965, so to say the Tudor has a more retro design is silly. The fact that you're comparing it to a Tudor means it's more bang for the buck.

Did you reverse the clasp on the Seiko? Or did it come like that?

SPB143 owner here. Looks like he flipped the whole bracelet around. My bracelet is oriented the opposite way as shown in this video.

Hi, can you do a comparison of Oris diver 65 vs spb143. I m considering between these 2 watches and can't decide. Enjoying all your content!
@TimeAndCrown3 жыл бұрын
Hi. I would love to but someone needs to loan me the Oris as I sold mine to fund the new Seamaster. Best regards, Anders
@pengxiang54443 жыл бұрын
@@TimeAndCrown Ah I see, what a pity. But based on your experience with both watches (and many dive watches), do you feel that Oris 65 is worth the extra money over Seiko SPB143?

The Tudor's movement is COSC but not the Seiko. The Seiko is 21k bph, does anyone knows this Tudor is running at how many bph?
