Chasing Grail Seiko divers was wrong, until now! 62MAS - SLA043 vs SJE093 Owner's review.

Ойын-сауық

Today we are looking at the iconic 62 Mas duo, the 39.5 mm SLA043 vs the fresh 37 mm accurate reissue. A lot of sweat, a lot of money, but this is an honest side by side. Hope you enjoy it! Andrei

    Congratulations on the SJE093. For me, it's the closest to the original 62mas and that's why I bought it. By the way, I think the original strap is great and it fits the watch perfectly.

    I think you should check out the Seiko SBDX041 , its a 300 peice limited edition of the 62mas case design JDM only . Some beams film’s collaboration. Its the 62mas case design in every brilliant steel with polished sides, 8L35 movement, 39.9mm diameter and the star of the show being a matte black dial with a colour matched black date wheel (very rare ) and a black bezel . This is a hidden gem and one of my Seiko grails . Please do check it out and this might be a potential buy( perfect 62mas) for you while selling the SJE093.

    Love my SJE, it is a keeper. So glad I avoided the isochronism and resulting subpar accuracy of the 143 although its dimensions and design are very nice. The SJE was designed by the creator of the Grand Seiko design asthetic, with a GS movement that stays perfectly accurate for almost a month on my wrist. Incredible, and a great watch roll companion to my beloved snowflake keeper. If you have a good relationship with a Seiko dealer you won’t pay full price.

    SJE is the best of these reissues. But that price though feels at least a grand too much. Maybe Seiko will start releasing more affordable "reissues" in that size and proportions though which would be nice. Maybe with less expensive movements.

    Definitely the 39mm, my friend! Starting with the BB 54 (I'm a BB 58 proud owner), I find the small size divers hype a little bit too much. I really don't like the way they look, even on a man small wrist... let's say, starting from 16cm. Anyways, thank you for your content, always interesting and very well done!👏

    Totally agree with you mate , the small watch and small divers propaganda going on in social media since the last few years is insane . The way people talk about the bb54 saying it looks perfect in wrists upto 7 inches or around 18 cm , you must think it’s the greatest thing ever. Seeing all the hype i went to try in on my 6.8 inch flat wrist with a wrist span of around 55 mm , i was severely disappointed lol . Did not live upto the hype at all and looks so small and dainty , the dial was microscopic lol. The least i can go on my wrist is 39mm for divers !

  • @Xxxoo57
    @Xxxoo5721 күн бұрын

    I prefer the SJE093. But I can’t justify the price. I feel Seiko has some rip-off watches, and the 62MAS would be one of those. You’re not getting several times more watch than a Prospex SPB143. King Seiko is another rip off. Essentially Seiko is sharing parts and movements in its models and depending on the price category, Seiko may throw in a bit extra but nothing earth shattering to justify the huge jump in price. The irony is the SPB143 has a much longer power reserve than the SJE093. So you’re actually getting less for more money. With Seikos, you really need to know what you’re doing when buying one.
