they must do a Pogue reissue !
@waffle911
Жыл бұрын
Might be a little bit harder to do that; they don't currently have a comparable automatic movement to the original, and even if they did, it would cost well over $1k. I don't think they have a suitable mecha-quartz movement on hand either.

You've *got* to get one of these, Britt! (But you might find your husband "borrowing" it more often than usual.)
Saw the review last nite & today...the date of the release...I was at the GS Boutique collecting my SBGV245 just back from polishing in Japan. Tried on the new 55th Anniversary & immediately bought it. This is the coolest Seiko 5 I've ever seen. Extremely comfortable too. Definitely a winner. If it wasn't for the review I would have missed it!
I love this! What a great reissue! They’ve nailed the look and it’s really exciting to imagine the potential of that case. Like you said, a Pogue reissue can’t be too far away, right 🙏 Even the packaging looks amazing too! I think I’d prefer a modern clicky bezel to go with the updated movement but you can’t have it all. What a great show 👏👏👏👏

I got one. The nice thing about the friction fit bezel and lack of chapter ring (polished rehaut) is that this is the first Seiko I’ve owned that doesn’t trigger my OCD. 😂
I showed this to my wife now. She said she doesn’t quite like it because it looks like something an astronaut would wear. Made me want to buy it instantly 😂

She loves the Pogue?
I tried it on my wrist last week. The case is lovely. I nearly bought it but ended up getting my second and so completing my seiko 5 sports peanuts collection.
Been looking for a vintage Seiko ever since I visited a little vintage shop in Camden Market a while ago. They had a couple of Seiko King Quartz and few Seiko 5's from the 60's and 70's. Something about the design just appealed to me. As soon as I saw this watch, I knew I needed to buy it, and buy it I shall...and probably the Pogue if it comes out next year.
As a Pogue owner, I love this….perfect size and shape. Great video as always.

I'm picking a pouge up this month and agree I love the retro look.
I bought mine 2nd hand on eBay (never worn) for £300 and I couldn't be happier. Most of my watches are chunky divers and this is a lovely change for me. Felt a bit small compared to my other watches at first but it's actually perfectly sized. Love the bracelet as well but I ordered a milanese this evening to see how that looks. Would love for them to do the pogue too. 5 sports speedtimer chrono from the 60's/70's would also be amazing
Mine arrived today and I finished adjusting the metal bracelet. It fits nice on my small wrist and feels comfortable. This is my second metal bracelet watch and my first series 5 Sports. My bezel is bi-directional unlike what Seiko USA says (uni-directional) in the specs. Love the groovy 60’s design and this watch is made in Japan. Cheers! 😊
This is a brilliant release. I have no complaints about this watch, but I do hope they spread the cost of redeveloping the case out by releasing a new limited edition of the blue version of the original. I don't know if you've seen it, but I really love that one. It's always a treat when your wife actually likes a watch too.

love re-issues, particularly when they are not tiny. This is a great size, not oversized by todays taste, or that 2010's fad, nor undersized by modern taste like many watches from pre-2000.
Only started watching your channel in the last couple of months as I have started collecting watches again, must say I love the enthusiasm and the down to earth approach. Just love Casio (got a couple I used to own as a teenager and love them to bits, AE1200 Royale is on the wrist right now) and Seiko, well always wanted one.....this video inspired me to get a SRPK17, been damn hard to find one though as they as I was a bit late to seeing this and they have understandably sold like "hot cakes". Found a new one from a US website SEIKO dealer, it's on it's way, should be getting it in the next couple of days.....exciting....thanks MWC 🙂👍
Ohhh! Great video. I've already pre-ordered the watch a few weeks ago. Had a message to say it will soon be on it's way. After seeing review, can't wait!
Great watch and hopefully a start of reissue models. Thanks for your time and sharing this with us all.
Ah, so this IS it. Yea. I saw this on Seiko’s site about a month ago… still shopping through various shops online to get best deal for a pre-order. Definitely was instantly inspired to hunt for this one. My last Seiko was actually the equally retro Kamen Rider Seiko 5 anniversary model that came out earlier this year which revived a different 70s Seiko 5 model style (but not quite a true reissue).

Great review. Just pre-ordered one. For anyone interested Arizona Fine Time is taking pre-orders. I only mention this because I was having a hard time finding a shop outside of the US still taking pre-orders.
I second your enthusiasm for this watch, with the lume glowing it looks super cool! TY
Great review Russ, definitely a stunner and it got your wifes seal of approval! I have been shying away from Seiko for sometime, but I might just add the SRPK17K1 to my collection.

OMG what a 'heads up'! Another super entertaining review - And I only just noticed - you call your video a 'show' - perfect! Generally, I'm not a Seiko 5 fan (except originals). I'm still hung up on the demise of the 200m specs, 'get over it' yes I am trying, and I have got a couple. But this is on another level! It's a REAL Seiko 5! Love it! Shall I / shan't I? I don't know, I'm trying to 'cut down' you see..(but just unboxed a new watch today).. BUT the prospect of a Pogue next year - I'm missing a good original and REALLY want this - if it happens - what foresight you have (I hope)!! Thanks again for the 'Show'! Best from Perth Australia!

The recessed crown was used for the original movement, ie. non-handwinding. How to wind it easily with the new 4R36 movement could be a challenge I think.

Blue is my favorite color and this new seiko 5 will be great in royal blue or blue navy dial.
Speaking of price increases and SKX clones, I wonder what your thoughts are on the SSK GMTs? More features but for £400 rrp I found it a bit too pricey. That being said i got mine for 40% off at Black Friday so I bit the bullet and I'm pretty chuffed!
Russ, can u do huge favor - how wide is the dial/crystal?
I ordered one from an AD, can’t wait to get it in hand. Just wondering what the secondary day wheel language will be.

Cracking video, lovely to see unbridled enthousiasm. Where you and I clash over the re-purposed SKX, we now clash over shrouded lugs. I just can't deal with them. :) Which is a shame, because otherwise this is a lovely watch. For sure, it begs for a sapphire modification, but apart from that it's beautiful. Sadly, I won't wear it if I buy it. Shrouded lugs, you see.

Help needed! I would love to buy this fantastic watch to go kitesurfing! But I am finding conflicting information whether the 10ATM rating is has would be enough for that! Most sources say it should be, but at the extreme you can have some very hard water impacts from several meters height when kitesurfing, similar to high board diving. Certainly enough to kill 5ATM watches. Does anybody have any experience with high impact water sports and 10ATM watches like this and knows how much of a risk there would be of this watch not making it??

Hello my friend! You’re talking about a watch with an SKX case decorated to look nice. This is an exclusive case, bracelet and dial. They’ve made one of these commemorating the 55th anniversary of the 1st Seiko Sports that looked exactly like this. Now the movement is the same but this one is special my friend
Hey. I bought this on your recommendation, it had better be worth it mate 😂 Great vid as usual 👍
How much do I want it to come in DLC-coated black
Just saw recently. Beautiful watch.
Bugger! Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a W10 vintage pilot watch… you had to show me this! I’ve been on the look out for a watch that was popular in the year I was born (1969) or there abouts… and this might be near enough. And the fact it has an anniversary this year might just push me over. I’m not usually a fan of this clickety-click sub dial, but this looks so gorgeously vintage, I think I could be persuaded on that point too! It’s all your fault #madwatchcollector - thanks to you my g-shock habit is quite bad/good. And now there’s this puppy! AAAAND… you drop in the idea of that 1969 model that may or may not be on the way next year! Gonna need another watch box!! 😂
