The cinematography/ production value on this is on another level

I think this just speaks to Seiko's ability to be the everyman's watch. Rather than adopting the tactics of Rolex and the big 3 by driving prices sky-high through underhanded restrictions on supply, they've make watches that are aesthetically pleasing at all price brackets. This lets watch-lovers at all price brackets to enjoy their products despite how deep or shallow their pockets are. Their products, even at the lower end are also well built and reliable (my baby turtle keeps time as good as my submariner or speedmaster). Then they also offer innovative design and amazing finishing, if you're able to afford that premium (without the ridiculous wait queues or buy quotas before you're added to a wait list).

The LX would have been a serious flagship killer in the $3.5k to $4k range. It has a lot of tough competition in the $6k range, even within Grand Seiko.

Great video Teddy! Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the work you obviously put into these videos.

Teddy, I appreciate the explanation on the differences. My watch knowledge is quite small because I'm now learning more about them. However, I've been a musician for over 30 years and have had similar experiences when comparing the differences on a $600 guitar vs a $6000. The manufacturing, attention to detail, type of material used, place of fabrication and perhaps even additional R&D comes into play with instruments. It's interesting to see that both industries have similar traits. Cheers!

literally some of the best wrist shots i've ever seen. great job on production.

That Spring Drive movement though - gorgeous!

Thorough and easy to understand as always. I came to love the brand from the moment I bought my Turtle. It is a major rebirth of the brand and I am sure they’ll find their way back to the top class manufacturers (in perception because in essence they have already got there).

Great video Teddy, 6k is rough but i'd love to just sit and watch that smooth second hand go around. Spring drive is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, looking forward for the spring drive video when it comes out!

Getting my first Seiko - a King Turtle, special edition, Save the Ocean - Manta Ray blue dial and I have to be honest, it is so gorgeous looking that I no longer want to wear anything else. I would buy a spring drive just because of the tremendous amount of effort they put in the creation of this movement, it feels like the pinnacle of technology to have such precision and smooth movement. Imagine a post apocalyptic world like Mad Max and someone finds a watch like this and be thinking it must be alien technology

Thanks for the video Teddy! I think I can see the difference when looking at the watches. Now, I am not sure I could tell the "ten times" difference though, I am just an "aficionado." I wonder why Seiko didn't include the LX as a Grand Seiko, it seems that it has the quality to do so. Anyways, just some thoughts. Thanks again and have a nice day!

Amazing macro shots 👍 Thanks for another awesome video! In my opinion, the marinemaster 300 is the way to go, I bought my sbdx001 for less than 1.5k a couple years ago. Will save a spring drive for the future!

I’d love to see a comprehensive roundup of your favorites at different prices and styles either as a video or as a blog post.

Great comparison, very educational. Hope you do more of this comparo.

Great video! Love the comparison.

That Seiko LX spring drive is a fine watch, no question on that. I do enjoy the sweep second hand movement vs. the tick tick. All that model needs is the day/date display and a lower price by about half or more and it might be a great seller. Love the bracelet band too. However, the solar and kinetic calibers are my favorite due to the long power reserves. I'm not a fan of automatics ever since they came out with the kinetic and solar models.

That super-smooth sweep of the seconds hand is mesmerizing. Don't know if I would pay $6000 for the piece, but I know if I did, I'd be staring at the dial all day long. :)

Your content is terrific, thank you !!!

Impressive,Seiko as always, pushing the industry, I think that right now Spring Drive and High Accuracy Quartz movements are the two technologies more interesting in the watch world.

I bought a Japanese-made Turtle for my dad back when they were first released several months ago. The watch punches well above its weight.

It's more the fact that the aforementioned brands are overpriced. The amount of markup is insane, in some cases it's 15x. You don't see that kind of markup in any other industry and it's done in the name of heritage and status. It's why you'll find micro brands, boutique brands and the lesser known, undercutting the big names significantly. This includes Seiko, although their prices are a bit steep considering the movements inside. The 4R isn't great and they're charging more than their old 6R models. Their reasoning is that they're trying to be more upmarket. We'll see how that turns out for them.

I own both the SBGA229 and SNR029. This statement is not accurate. Sure, both retail for 6 grand, but both are very different beasts. Only have the price and dive watch style in common. The SBGA229 is a very beautiful watch. The handset is huge, heavy, and fun to look at. The indices that are applied, machined, have the best applied lume plots on any Seiko WITH a thin white border surrounding look like little pearls. The finishing is museum quality. The SNR029 is Seiko's flagship diver. It is overbuilt, robust, and has a better bracelet AND better end link mounting than the GS. The movement is the same, though less decorated. It is the MM300 on steroids. It has the absolute best bezel on any Seiko I have ever handled, and I've owned just about every Seiko diver at some point in my life. Has same zaratsu finishing as GS, though in less amounts. The GS is a very elegant diver, however it will not look as nice over time as the SNR will. I believe this is because the dial is so gorgeous, but the wear over years will not match the dial over time. The bezel finishing is very fragile. IMO the SNR price comes from the over-engineered robustness of the case and bracelet and the upgraded titanium. The SNR would look out of place with a GS on the dial and a lion on the caseback. Two very different beasts. Sorry for the rant!

The LX series has amazing specs, but it’s just so big. If Seiko decides to have a version in 40 or 42 with the new slimmer spring drive movement, thus giving it 13-14 mm, it could arguably be the number one seller in the LX line.

The question is: All those details, finishes and sophistication in the movement are worth 10 times more? Both watches are great pieces and there is no match for the spring drive.

Sweep on that spring drive is super smooth

Nice coverage of my favourite brand. The spring drive is mesmerising.

Speaking as a Seiko fan - Seiko just can't get away from their chapter ring alignment issues. In my experience Citizen is always perfect in this area at literally all price points from $50 to $5000, but for some reason internet watch nerds just can't get over Seiko as some demagogue "purist" brand. Odd stuff, but what do we expect from the hive mind? To add to the conversation Teddy brings up at the end of the video - No, I absolutely do not think Seiko deserve to move up-market. Frankly any chapter ring alignment and other baffling quality issues for years prior to the up-market movement were not even acceptable at their lower price point. Great watches and tons of potential let down by subpar manufacturing processes and embarrassingly low QC standards.

That would be the test of all the people who buy GS ‘to impress themselves’. Would you buy the same watch for the same price if it only had the normal Seiko logo?

@@ProfessorPesca 100% I would. I have a GS sbgr271 myself with the newer dial. But I love the charm of the older seiko dials on the GS pieces. It was truly an underground brand

A lot more watches I’d rather spend $6,000 on.

shino88 uh oh, we’ve really upset the Seiko fan boys now. As an owner of Seiko watches, I appreciate the brand. At $6k, you have a plethora of options new and used. Seiko build nice watches, this $6k LX is a miss. I’d pick up an Omega SMP300 before this LX any day, the dimensions on the LX are horrendous. If you want to wear an uncomfortable watch, be my guest. And yes, I would take many Rolex watches before it too because I know I’ll get my money back out of it when I sell.

Great video. 👍🏻 In a similar vein, I'd love to see you do this kind of comparison with GO Panomaticlunar vs Lange 1.

Great video. Thanks. The Spring Drive is a modern marvel.

My turtle melts into my wrist and I wear it everyday. I can’t believe it is a 45mm.

Same here.....

At 6 grand there are a lot of watches I would look at instead of a "plain" Seiko. The turtle models are where you get great bang for the buck, which sums up what I think a Seiko should be about.

Why is that what Seiko should be about? Because you are used to seeing their lower-end affordable lines at the mall? Its not like they aren't a pioneering, field-leading company that makes the most accurate non-radio syncing watches and have beaten the Swiss at the COSC game many years over.

@Ginja Ninjaaa Well to be fair I would not put this up against purely mechanical watches in a comparison of accuracy as it is "cheating" using quartz. I really do like the movement though.

@@DadCore666 Well both Seiko and Grand Seiko has offered great finish and movements for relatively low prices compared to their competitors. Now that they are trying to go upmarket I see it as they arent providing a better experience than before but just making them more expensive. 6 grand is GS money in my mind.

@@bingoberra18 I wouldn't call it cheating though. More innovating than anything else. Seiko had the guts to reinvent the wrist watch with Quartz in the '80s, moreso merging the mechanical movement with quartz coming up with what we call the Spring Drive today. $6000 dollars gets you the best divers watch available on the market today in terms of time keeping and overall finish.

bingoberra18 I’m sorry but if you haven’t handled both, you cannot form this opinion. I commented elsewhere on this video explaining the differences between the two.
