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

You have in your hands one of the greatest divers ever made. The 62MAS is a true icon!
I have the SJE093, I reel life it looks totally amazing and more special than my submariner. I love to where it with a T-shirt. Looks super classic without anybody trying to stab you for it.

Great video. Love the attention to detail.
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.
Andrei, turn off the AC, i think it's a bit chilly în your studio 😅

I’ve been hoping a channel would compare the two References. I own an SJE093 and love it. Cheers 🍻
Right up my alley with this vid … and then some! Plan to watch it twice :)
Looking forward to the new 40mm SPB watches in June. Maybe I’m glad i didn’t buy the spb143 after all. Love theses watches, just to much Canadian dollars😢

The new one has good and bads. But I can't judge until I see one in flesh. Cheers!
Every since I got the 093 I haven’t even thought about buying another watch but honestly I wouldn’t mind trying the 043 tbh great video ❤
1:53 you are so right! After owning both the real deal and the sla017… I can confirm ;)
I love my SLA043… but I prefer the larger size on my 7.25” wrist. Glad to have multiple options.
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.
I absolutely love both of these pieces but the 2 combined cost more than my first car!!!! 😳
Wow what a beautiful watch!
Amazing video ! What are the straps you have ? I struggle to find cool 19mm rubber straps

You can try delugs cts or a tropic strap from tropic straps themselves
Some how the smaller one has more charm, I like them both but the SJE wins it for me.
awesome review

Fine review. Gotta go for the SLA……But Andrei ….did you say 9 (NINE!) beats per second on the Sje? Wow, if so!
When it comes to fine imitation watches, nkuwan delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
Are there any rumors about a next version of the SJE093? Perhaps with a blue dial.
Seiko 62MAS vs Aquastar Model 60 Re-edition @ US$1390 with an LPJ G100 68hr power reserve calibre & 200m WR - would be a good match up of 2 historic dive/skin diver watches.
I like both

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.

Let’s face it, most of us have so many watches that extreme accuracy will never be noticed. So, the spb143 is the most practical choice of all of these models.

Both nice watches. Already have the sla043. Not interested in another similar watch. It seems like people are gouging on prices with the sje. Asking too much for them. Think the sje is a nice one, just not for me.

i love my sje093. I have a 2 watch collection at the moment with the other being the spb143. I love them both and neither of them replaces the other. A couple of corrections: The case size is 38mm and the lume pip at 3 is a newer iso requirement, not older.

Yes
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 !
SLA043 vs 40mm submariner
My dady bought one #nkuwan and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.
that's a very high price tag for a Seiko.
Great discussion--I have the SLA and love it-it's been a constant companion for years-but the thinner/smaller case of the SJE is might appealing. I can't justify having both, but I don't know if I could ever part with the SLA!
Proud SJE093 owner
sadly no white dial and the price is just too much
Carini ma non rientrano nei miei gusti
If you like the watch but not the price go for the San Martin. Better QC than Seiko. You can pick up the 39mm version for about $160. It even has a Seiko NH35 movement. 😅
2:08 worst thing that seiko all looks same because ether use same dial with little no changes to it which doesnt make difference in look . so its crazy to spend more than £600 on it. sbdc051 999 and sla065 2100 hahah how? no way blue colour and rubber strap cost 1200 extra
@BraveBeaters

Haha! True!
The 37mm Seestern 62MAS is unsurprisingly just as attractive as the Seiko, but for only $150 with $1000 build quality.
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.

Good luck with the 143 isochronism and its subpar accuracy, but we all have our own opinions.
Limited edition + grand seiko pricing, another joke by seiko. For the mindless seiko collectors only.
