Why Everyone Loves Seiko Watches
Check out these NEW IFL Drops (and so many more awesome, customised watches): bit.ly/watchgringa
Why do watch collectors love Seiko so much? Sure we love Rolex, OMEGA, Tudor, Cartier. But nothing quite hits like Seiko. I haven't owned a Seiko until recently - the Seiko 5 GMT and now a new Seiko 5 (yay IFL! Thank you!) but even just from getting these I've become a Seiko lover. There is a certain character to their watches.
There are 5 reasons why I think we love Seiko so much: 5. Their undeniable charm. 4. The Japanese innovative approach to watchmaking and just how different they are from European watchmaking. 3. Heritage - even though we always talk about the value proposition of Seiko, ...

The Tudor Pelagos FXD = Most Underrated Tudor Watch. Try to change my mind.

The Tudor Pelagos FXD = Most Underrated Tudor Watch. I think the things people hold against it: the fixed spring bars, bi direfctional bezel, etc. are the things that make it so cool! If it isn't the most UNDERRATED Tudor - it at least has to be the coolest Tudor in the current catalogue. Designed alongside Marine Nationale, this watch is fit for purpose and actually used by the French Navy. I ...

The IWC Problem: Why Does No One Buy IWC?

    Loved you making case for Seiko. I grew up with Seiko watches and love them ... It was in every man and woman wrists in the 70's...the women autos are more intriguing for being so little and tiny ....imagine putting together those movements.

    I had a run of duff Seiko watches. Duff bezel on a Samurai, 1965 Recreation, Seiko 5 dive style watch and terrible reliability on two 6r35 movements. I love the design but I just don’t trust them. My new beater is a Citizen NY0040. Cheap as chips and so far it’s great.

    The Seiko company really has everything for every one, from a simple quartz wall clock to a Grand Seiko Tourbillon, or even Credor masterpieces. I mean Hans Waldorf tried to offer more affordable watches by creating Tudor, but no watch company can match Seiko in terms of diversity and technology. And they made everything in house, that’s crazy.

    I have friends who love Alfa Romeos, MGs, and Triumphs. Do they love them because they're the pinnacle of automotive engineering or because they'll run until the sun goes supernova? Hardly. Maybe they think other people will be impressed or envy them. Nope. They love them because they love them. A person who buys something because of what other people think of that thing is most likely not someone I want to be around. But someone who buys something because they love it and it makes them happy, that's someone I could probably hang out with.

    The problem is these watches are boring and overpriced. Circula has a new pilot's watch that is anti magnetic, 150 meters waterproof, Swiss movement, 1200 Vickers hardness coating, Swiss superlumimova applied ideces, and an original case and dial design for less than $1000. A much better looking watch that isn't just banking on heritage to jack up the price. Seriously sometimes I think the watch community is a joke. OMG! They made a Speedy with a white dial!!!!

    Although today I'm wearing my Sub, my first watch I purchased with my own money was Seiko 5 back in 1969. Since then I have added few more Seiko's to my collection. They're practically bullet proof although accuracy is suspect at times. One of my favorites is the SKX 007 and probably with worst accuracy. By the way, I still own that very first Seiko 5.

    Really, this video would be accurate 8 years ago, but they suck on specs vs price now. No sapphire, bad clasps/bracelets with prices generally twice as much as they were. Really some Ali express watches are waaaaay better value spec monsters with a Seiko movement. It’s a whole new rabbit hole to dive into. If you ever want to look at a few different ones in person, I’d be happy to send you a selection of my own to play with.

  • @user-oh1lp7wf3f

    "Accuracy" ratings, like WR ratings are not about capability - they are about warranty or liability. Seiko, producing so many watches don't want people bringing them back for regulation unless they are beyond the generous tolerances - that's how they keep their prices low. Also: servicing Seiko mechanicals is ridiculously cheap in N.America, so I like their service model.
