Unboxing Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Spring Drive Diver SLGA023 Grand Seiko Watch Review

[@jimmillett9224]

If I ever own a GS I think this would be the one. Superb review as always Tim

[@biggerhen]

Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the nkuwan bag !

[@pato7694]

Lovely watch. I love luxury watches that are beautiful and simple. A Grand Seiko is definitely on my bucket list. I have a large wrist and that watch would look great on it.

[@matthewclune8352]

beautiful watch and bracelet. does the clasp/extension look cheap/pressed to anyone?

[@davec3651]

Definitely leaves much to be desired, the extension does.

[@davidr2802]

Yes, Yes, Yes

[@ShifterSr]

Is Grand Seiko serviceable in the USA now?

[@LanguagesWithAndrew]

Gorgeous dial, perfect for a dive watch, but I really do prefer the hi-beat movement. If they would offer this with their new 80-hour hi-beat while keeping everything else the same (same dial color and texture, grade 5 Ti, etc.), it would be perfect for me. Please, GS, do this in a hi-beat version.

[@slater1949]

Is there anything specific from the Spring Drive movement that you do not care for? I’m just curious, I know some just would rather have a mechanical movement..thank you!

[@LanguagesWithAndrew]

@@slater1949 Sure. The heart of a mechanical watch, what really makes it impressive, is its ability to keep time *mechanically.* The timing mechanism of spring drive is a quartz crystal and the electricity to power it is supplied what amounts to a dynamo (which is powered by a mainspring which is wound by a plain automatic winding mechanism that has been around for over 100 years). This really is not that impressive to me. All they did was make a quartz watch with the battery replaced by the mainspring and automatic winding mechanism from a normal automatic watch.

[@kresimirpleic]

​@@LanguagesWithAndrewOk, so it turns out you don't understand how a spring drive works.

[@niallmacleod1024]

@@LanguagesWithAndrew You are miles off - do some homework.

[@Whoaderdontgoder]

Spectacular piece!

[@dr.kevinmoore8889]

Absolutely spectacular

[@KTZ_86]

It's 2024 and people STILL don't know how to use a Seiko Marinemaster type divers extension 🙄

[@charleslyall4911]

Beautiful timepiece,thanks 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

[@justbenwild]

Is this the one listed on your website?

[@tuhkathri9126]

The day GS makes a 40-41mm diver ❤

[@eprohoda]

Thanks- superb ivdeo!=)

[@luxuryliving3082]

we need a Kodo unboxing!

[@huguninpearl]

HEY #nkuwan I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day

[@davec3651]

What? I never subscribed to this "1916 Company" or whatever channel. Who is this and what have you done to TEA Mosso at the watchbox • calm?

[@anandmorris]

It's him, just changed the name of the company. Same voice (and hands!)

[@Greysprunkiyay]

@@anandmorrispretty sure Dave was joking 😂

[@anandmorris]

@@Greysprunkiyay ooohhhh!

[@Greysprunkiyay]

Tim’s even telling us what materials the package is made of. What more can you people want?! In all seriousness I love this piece. Throw that sucker on a strap and you’re good to go. I hate most bracelets, maybe with the exception of the Streamliner piece.

[@manfred2434]

The Spring Drive indicator is only "printed" and not 3D-engraved!

[@cagedlemp5184]

Nicer than Rol i think

[@NoahBB]

Love the channel, though I must say the new name hardly rolls off the tongue 😅

[@Jz-pu6jd]

I want one.

[@anandmorris]

This is my grail watch.

[@baroussejaquet]

I bought this popular video watch from nkuwan , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $380! It's really suitable to pick up feces!

[@neilrandle3819]

This is a great looking watch. However, it doesn’t wear fairly well on your wrist, it looks obviously too big for your wrist. Needs to be worn by a big guy, with large wrists.

[@briankenny6883]

Yeah. I own one. I have an 8” wrist. It is an awesome watch. Love it.

[@dr.kevinmoore8889]

I have a 6.5 inch wrist. I'd rock this just like I rock my 45 x 16 Tag Heuer Carrera GMT.

[@albertmeyer8983]

The size is ridiculously large, ugly on the fly adjustment… A total no…

[@LegalEagle0007]

I have seen better Seamaster Diver 300m clones though.

[@dr.kevinmoore8889]

I have the Seamaster 300 Diver. It is great. This Grand Seiko is spectacular.

[@LegalEagle0007]

@dr.kevinmoore8889 love my Seamasters. I have the blue dial and the No Time To Die ones. I'm tempted to get the green dial too, but it looks black in some videos.

[@lahav6680]

way too fukin expensive for the japanese shjt
