The fact that a Seiko is being compared to something 4x its price means it wins the comparison.

I adjusted my Seiko SPB143 in 5 positions to +5/-4. Never loses time, never gains time. It's just perfect. Just glad I never had to spend stupid money on a Tudor.

Really. You’ll have to share your secret. My experience of the positional accuracy has been the opposite of what you have achieved. I can dial in great results when the watch is level with zero beat error and good amplitude but tilt it off the horizontal and the accuracy and amplitude drops off a cliff. I have to adjust it fast on the level to counter it running slow in any vertical position.

I went with the Seiko SPB143. The price was right. I bought it at Vaughan Mills watch store. They gave me 200 dollars off. If I was going to spend 5 thousand Canadian I would buy a Seiko with a spring drive.

I live in the Woodbridge area and was keen on trying one on before purchasing the seiko (as i have large wrists). If you dont mind me asking, which store gave you that great deal?

seiko movements are ridiculously easy to regulate , escapement and watch has a video on it its really easy , i have 2 seikos with 4R movements running 3 seconds a day over . my alpinist is at -1 . as long as you dont have shaky hands id recommend learning .

I’ve owned both and loved both, if I were to buy either again I’d be tempted to get a Seiko and pay for it to be regulated properly as that was my main gripe with it. The Tudor stayed on the bracelet and could easily be a one watch that rarely comes off the wrist but the Seiko had something special and was a better strap monster with the flatter lugs. I remember taking it on holiday to Crete, with the bracelet, a leather strap, a black rubber strap and 2-3 natos. It felt great mixing it up each day and night, really versatile piece. Ultimately for me the accuracy was annoying with the Seiko though and it stopped it being a regular daily watch.

Not sure where in Canada but any recommended place to get a automatic watch regulated around Greater Toronto Area?

My 62 MAS 140th anniversary edition came with 39seconds slow per day error, I sent it back to Seiko to be regulated and it came back 10.3 seconds per day slow!!!! Such a pity as it really is a great watch. I have 5 Ali Express NH35 powered watches and they all run about 5 seconds fast. Buck up Seiko! Very Helpful review.

Thx for the great content. In my experience, both have a place in one’s collection. The BB58 is a great daily that does not look out of place while ‘dressed up’. But at 1/4 the cost and with it’s hardened coating, I don’t think twice about wearing the SPB143 when I’m expecting to knock it around for the day doing chores. The accuracy of the BB58 is amazing (+2) while the SPB143 is, as you say, way off. So they are really two different watches. Plus, with both, you have both blue and grey colors to work with in how you dress up or down.

I own both. Seiko 143 wears a bit larger. Accuracy on the seiko not great. If worn 24 / 7 mine runs about minus 20 seconds a day. If taken off for any period of time it starts dropping time like crazy. Generally I set the spb a couple of minutes fast and wear as daily beater Mon to Fri. By Friday it’s spot on!

Too many people have issues with the Seiko accuracy. I actually do the same with my SPB143 when wearing it.

I’ve owned both, and there really is no comparison quality wise. Looks wise, is the only realistic comparison to be had. Both are fantastic looking watches.

Thanks for this comparison. I always enjoy your content as we have similar tastes in watches. I have the SPB155 and got very lucky with COSC tolerances and no QC issues. But as you know it's priced much more competitively than the SPB143, especially at a discount. Despite my good experience, I'd personally hesitate to buy the SPB143 when there are other great options at that price as you mentioned. Currently longing for the BB54, though! Take care!

Thanks so much for your kind words. Glad you like my videos. I actually also have a Baby Alpinist only mine is Blue (SPB157). No quality control issues but the movement is also "behaving". I would say that with discount or pre-owned a SPB143 is a good proposition but at the same time there are other solid options on the market. The BB54 is fantastic. I am hoping that Tudor will introduce other dial colours with this line sometime soon.

What great options would you recommend instead of the SPB143?

Honestly for the money the Longines Hydroconquest is probably a better deal than both these watches, but in saying that...the Seiko design is very attractive.

Have exact same issues with my spb143. Poor timekeeping, seems to vary greatly each day. Bezel is also off just like yours. No more Seiko for me, its very overpriced for the quality. Also, not seen this mentioned much, its very top heavy...Perhaps having a steel bezel and the height of the watch. Great comparison, save your money and go for the Tudor if you ask me...

Я бы все-таки рекомендовал решать проблему с сервисом, а не мучиться годами с неидеальными часами. Недавно получил из Японии редкий Speedmaster, секундная стрелка хронографа была слегка отклонена от центра (но в пределах заводского допуска). Сначала думал забить, потом отнёс по гарантии в офис Swatch Group, сделали за неделю, получил скидку от продавца за неудобства. Так и здесь, поднять тему точности механизма и центровки безеля - и пусть лечат! И часы бы за свои деньги понравились бы)

I own both of them, and I prefer the Seiko. That said, I do not quite like the weight of the Seiko and prefer the wearability of the Tudor.

Well I believe the contest between these two designs is unfair. When you pay more for an item, it usually means it offers better quality or performance and of course between these two the Tudor wins. On the the other hand, for a few more dollars I could have a spring drive. If your going to compare a Mercedes to anything, you don't compare it to a Toyota, you compare to a Lexus.

I also have complaints about the Seiko 6R movements. In the past 8 yrs I've owned over 20 Seikos. Of them, 4 with the 6R, and 9 with the 4R. All of my 6Rs are highly inconsistent. On the edge of the specs or outside of it by a good bit, and vary greatly if worn, or sitting in watch box, or winder. And they even vary from week to week 🤷. And all mine with the "entry level" 4Rs have been great, always consistent. All within +/-15 secs/day, and many less than +/-10 (some 4Rs even within COSC). So I'm a bit frustrated in the 6Rs costing 2-3x the price, and that's what's mainly offered in the Seiko's that may interest me. Also there's been no real QC issues with any of mine except one. All this is disappointing because I really like my SPB147 & SPB213. They're some of my favorite watches to wear. 😐

Seriously?! Preown Bb58 in “very good” condition, full set are selling at $2800-2900, negotiable. 925 are selling around low 3k. Tudor is constantly cannibalizing itself with new hype models, current bel-du-jour is the 54. Comparing a watch that’s retailed 30-35%to another is disappointing. Even then, similarly worn spb143 are going for 900, losing about 3-400. Putting it squarely in the beater/daily driver with low service/maintenance cost. It’s like comparing fit n finish in a Civic TypeS vs BMW m340. Seriously?!

As much as it is a very clear fast that the Tudor is overpriced (regardless of it being very valuable overall), don't you ever compare a Tudor with a Tag Heuer :-) Tag Heuer is garbage... not even worth thinking about spending money on, unless you get some silly no brainer discount and you just buy it as a beater. most people think that "Tag Heuer" is the same quality like the older "Heuer" brand used to be... far from true! it's almost borderline with premium priced fashion watches the Seiko "62MAS" Re-Issue is IMHO well worth the money, only bummer is of course the stupid Lume part they have added at 3 o'clock to all watches produced after 2020 (that was done in order to maintain compliance with ISO which means the watch is still certified as a professional diver), I wonder if they have fixed the movement running too slow issues with the slightly later editions of this watch (e.g. SPB147..)
