Is the Seiko SLA023 Marinemaster worth 3400€ ??? | Review

The Seiko Marinemaster is one of the brand's most iconic modern pieces but is the Seiko SLA023 worth 3400 €? A question I kept asking myself ever since it was released. If you are considering getting yourself a Seiko Marinemaster but you're not quite sure whether it's worth the hefty price tag of a Tudor Black Bay then you should watch this video until the end.

    Newer models have the index at 3 because lume a all minutes is required for the most recent update to the ISO certification. The watch in this video would only pass ISO certification for a previous version of the spec because there is no lume at

    As a proud owner of the SBDX001 i can say it worth the cost for the long run. A beatiful watch.

    I wore my Marine Master (Seigaiha blue one) very hard for over a year. I worked a blue collar job, doing IT rack and stack installs all day, sometimes 50+ hours per week, and guess what? Not even a scratch on the thing. Its a hard wearing watch that can go toe to toe with the best from other brands. Unlike cheap Seikos, it also has an excellent movement, never had any problems with time-keeping either. 10/10 recommend.

    I really really like the quality of your videos. The color and aspect ratio is very true to life and you also make astute points because you own the watch.

    MM300 worths every penny. I have mine (SLA021) for nearly 4 years now. It is a keeper without a single doubt.

    I love the bracelet! Top quality build and finishing. It perfectly balances the watch and brings the asthenic down from a full tool to an elegant superb diver. I feel that it almost mutes the visual intrigue of the case and allow one to focus on the bezel and dial. I love it!

    Great video. Have it for almost 2 years. Also had two Tudors. The finishing is just great. The Tudor, especially when you look between the lugs, looks a little bit unfinished compared to the MM. the longer you’ll own the MM the more you’ll love it

    Holy shit. Placing the folding part of the clasp in the middle of the wrist was a game changer tip! Thanks for that!

    I agree with your perfect review completely! I own SBDX001, SBDX009 and SLA023. I will probably also buy a SLA021 black dial.

    I've had my SLA023 for about 5 months and I definitely think it's worth it. The model goes back over 50 years. The monobloc case and depth to the dial make it a undeniably unique design. The polishing 8hz beat rate and ceramic bezel definitely set it apart from my other Seikos... Although in the wild the features are not that hard to come by. The value is relative - its the expensive house on a modest street. If you compare it to more expensive watches it becomes more compelling. Also you should be able to find a good discount at retail on this one or the SLA021.

    A fabulous, classy watch. I had one 18 years ago, the first version that had 'Marinemaster' on the dial. Wish I had never sold it.

    That seconds hand, when you see it can't be unseen, the difference in finishing is something very apparent

    I bought a crafter blue rubber strap for my skx a while back and the rubber split at the buckle after a couple of months. They did replace it but with no warranty on the replacement.

    I love the Seiko MM’s. Such an interesting look which is rugged and beautiful at the same time. There really isn’t anything else like it. And that lume is otherworldly good. Nice review!

    The marinemaster is a great watch. I compared for two month watches in that price range and the seiko turned out best for the money (for me). The watch is shiny, heavy and all in all a fat Lady. I got scratches on mine but they make her more likeable after you get Use to it. A dissantvantige is, that they get rated way under their price from people with less knowledge but i can live with that
