Congrats @ag6253!
This Seiko checks a lot of boxes. I think this was a very smart move by Seiko as it covers a diver, gmt, all lumed indices are visible, ceramic bezel, sunburst dial, and quality metal bracelet. I’m excited about this piece!

I’ve been saving up for this watch for a few months now, and binging on reviews of it to hold me over in the meantime haha. Your review has been the best one I’ve seen so far! Definitely going to sub to the channel!

Stunning green dial! I love the case and how it is machined. The hands are beautiful with the sword shape!
I love green dials on watches. The Hulk is one of my favourite pieces, but this one is also extremely beautiful masterpiece. I feel Seiko is making it self a big name. Design wise it is getting better and better.
Great video and a great watch. Completely agree with your point on Seiko reducing their tolerances at higher price points!
Nice review… I have a different Seiko (the new Alpinist) which has a sunburst green dial as well… I changed out the leather strap to a two-tone after market bracelet and absolutely love it…
Great review, thank you especially for providing a lot of footage that shows how the watch actually wears!

This is a very nice looking piece. Something to look at for a future purchase. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love that dark green bezel and dial. Nice review. Can't go wrong with Seiko.
Superb watch, want. Love the second hand and the green bezel.. it has Willard vibes.
such a gorgeous piece. seiko doesn't miss
Great 'real-world' review. I've always been a firm believer in beauty. Horology shouldn't only be about brand legacy and movement refinement, sometimes a watch is just beautifully functional. I'm sold!

I have this exact model bought it in August and it’s become one of my favorite watches ever not just Seiko , I also have the Red Mm300 and while I love it the GMT just wears far better on the daily , it’s hard to explain but it simultaneously wears like a 40mm and a 43mm at the same time , Sturdy solid but not overbearing and so far running +6 a day. Solid choice and great video!

I just bought my exact the same watch but I have a very close look and I can’t not see anywhere to say made in Japan,and I did asked the other gentleman who was showing the same watch and he told me to look on 33 or 34 I had to look again with magnifying glass and it is nothing there,I’m very suspicious it maybe a fake?
Dude I love the way you structure your videos, this seiko GMT is definitely on my list!

I have the black version. It had a bad movement and was sent back to Seiko. The replacement watch had a rate of +1 seconds per day, an amplitude of 246, and a beat error of 0.0 in the dial up position. I’m fortunate that I had a timegrapher to spot a defective movement.
Beautiful watch and awesome explanation thanks 🎉🎄👍✅

this is my favorite color variation on this model. even though it's not the limited edition.
Seems like the ideal watch to me. A 22mm bracelet might have been better, but for the money, it seems like a relative bargain of a 'built for lifetime' watch....I'd definitely have the black one and put it on a high quality rubber strap. Lovely smooth review.

Thorough, objective review; nicely done. Bonus that your video production was tight, and captured gorgeous shots of the watch. Also appreciate your audio mix, with even levels of background music and voice. Question: in your description of the bracelet, you made a keen observation about the top of the middle link being polished (looks great!). Curious if the bracelet links uses screws or a pin and collar system? Thank you.
@BrokeWatchFanatic

Thanks for your kind words! This bracelet uses pin and collar system, but the collar gets put inside the middle link so it will stay in place as you tap the pin. Not bad at all.

@@BrokeWatchFanatic Ahhh...good to know; I didn't realize. I love the dimensions and looks of the watch; although I wish Seiko (Grand Seiko, too) would step up their bracelet game. Everyone says it, so it's shocking to me that a company that prides itself on exquisite craftsmanship, e.g. Zaratsu polishing, etc., doesn't do a major overhaul on their bracelets. Screws would be great, particularly for their "upmarket" watches, i.e., Prospex and Grand Seiko, tapered bracelets, and clasps are the biggie. I friggin LOVE some of the GS divers but refuse to buy until the brand gets with the times on their bracelets. But your watch, and the Oris Aquis green dial, are my favorite greens on the market now. Thanks again.
Its a beautiful watch, and I agree, some unnecessary text.
Awesome watch!
Great watch!
Great design and execution, a watch to keep. I hope seiko will upgrade the movement to 4hz.
@BrokeWatchFanatic

We can only hope. They might just stick to their 3hz to make you want to upgrade to their 8L movements. 🤷
